So standing strong worked?

Whoa! We know that newbie Dierre Hill is fast, but he is up to 205 pounds. Isn't that thunder, instead of lightning? Then I saw the stats on freshman Jordan Davison, as he is 6'0" and 236 pounds? (Shades of Blount!) Lanning: "I'm starting to call them thunder and lightning. Man, like Jordan Davison and Dierre Hill are going to be special players here for a long time," he said. "I'm really excited about them and their development, and that whole RB room." Remember, as much fuss I've been making about Dierre Hill, we cannot overlook Jordan Davison as he was a Rivals 5-Star running back from Mater Dei. In the past...getting a 5-Star running back would have been ALL we would have been talking about in reference to recruiting. This year--he was almost an after-thought. And he was the Max-Preps POY for the state of California! Jordan Davison-Good gosh, what a Group! Whoa! Perhaps not Blount, but looks more like Jonathan Stewart?

What a happy thought! Thank you for that!

My apologies to all. This thread veered in a direction (my fault) that is away from the intent of this message board. I use this site to enjoy Oregon football, as an escape from some of the issues of real-life. Time to turn back to the intent of the forum--Oregon sports. I will lock this thread.

In the thread on another site--it was stated that they have been dating for three months.

FishDuck writer David Marsh pointed out that Oregon did get 10 portal transfers last year. So if we did the same again...replacing the 16 starters may not be so bad between transfers, and new players emerging. Theran Johnson, Corner Transfer from Northwestern

This is not about improvement or suggestions for personal growth from a woman; my point was....some women are not happy inside, and no matter what you do--it will not ever be enough to make her happy. I thought I was alone in this at one time, and since have seen hundreds of accounts written about a similar experience. Since you have not experienced a woman who could not be pleased, (as millions of men have had to deal with) then I'm glad that you have not had that, and had a fulfilling experience instead. I once believed as you did... No need to debate this, as we can have different opinions based upon our experiences.

No sweat. It is still fun, and a good example of how easy it is to do this... I noticed that the QB who was a superb passer, who signed with Oregon, but left to go to Cal has been named the starter. He'll be a good portal candidate in the future...

This player is going to be a BLOCKBUSTER transfer for Oregon!

Ooou...an interesting story behind this lefty! What? From a smaller school, Taft set the OSAA single season record with a 0.09 ERA and was 3A pitcher of the year:

He is a big 6'4" RHP, and a Perfect Game score of "9."

He is a shortstop and right-handed pitcher. Perfect game gives him a "10" and their rating system is below.

In the Manosphere, we refer to it as the "White Knight" trap that so many men fall into. Regardless of gender--you can only find happiness and healing within yourself, or find it by yourself. We cannot change others...

Nope. I thought that for the first 20 years as well. But with some women...you can never make them happy, and you lose who you are as you try. (Don't ask me how I know) But I should not delve into mens/womens issues here beyond the jesting that has taken place. Gender Equality in Warnings: Women should RUN from men who are a narcissist or abusive, while men should RUN from women who are Borderline Personality Disorder, or Bi-Polar.

Max Torres does a great job at On3, and I always encourage people to join the membership sites for great reporting. I cannot copy the whole article, but a couple of tasty tidbits were pretty cool... On Who’s Stood Out as Consistent at Receiver: Stein: “Gary Bryant is one of the most consistent football players I’ve ever been around. He’s a complete pro. He does everything you ask him to do. He blocks his a** off. He runs routes at the specific depth. He catches the ball, makes plays, good with the ball in hand. I was really saddened that he couldn’t have an impact on our team like he wanted to, like we wanted to last season because of injuries. And I would have loved to have him Tez (Johnson), Traeshon (Holden), all those guys out there have been working together, but obviously injuries plagued him last season, so I think he’s in a great spot mentally, physically. He’s super gifted. I mean, the guys made plays here in ’23 and he had 40 something catches, 500 yards. He’s extremely consistent, and it starts with his prep. He’s definitely I would say the leader of that group, and not just vocally, but just how he approaches every single day.” On What He’s Seen Translate From Dante Moore‘s Skillset at Oregon Stein: “What I saw when I turned on the tape—-wow throws like, oh my gosh. Like, dang, that was a ball. When those kept showing up on the completions, some corner routes or scramble throws, you’re like this guy’s got elite arm talent. And I’d previously known Dante, because, if you remember, when I got here, he was committed. So I went to MLK and went to Detroit, like two times that I was allowed to when I first got here. So knowing him, knowing his family, knowing the people around him, his high school coaches—I knew he was about the right stuff. “It just it didn’t translate to UCLA and not because of lack of scheme. I think we all know Chip Kelly is a great coach, and I just don’t think he had the players around him that you need, if you’re a true freshman, to go be super successful. So when he has gotten here, you could see his talent has flourished. He’s so humble. He’s willing to learn. He reminds me, he’s a great blend of like Bo (Nix) football IQ and Dillon (Gabriel) can pull everybody together, which is really unique and special. I think I’ve said it in here before, but he wears five, he’s got glove on his left hand I played with Teddy Bridgewater. He does remind me a lot of Teddy. That’s a lofty comparison for me, but he’s just got that kind of that moxie about him. That IT factor that people just gravitate towards.” Gary Bryant Jr. (Remember that as a true freshman at USC--he had more catches than any Oregon receiver that year)

Well, the only one I have is at QB. Our defense is going to be sneaky-good, and our offense will score more-than-enough points through the season, and peak in the Playoffs. Boettcher creates a fumble!

There was a new article out on The Athletic, where they give their predictions on the 'Natty, with their entire staff voting on it. Oregon is not even in the running for the 'Natty? Huh. Looks like some see Oregon like the past....

I predict Danno will announce a starter going into game week, and it will be Moore. On another site, the inside stuff from the Scrimmage leaked out this morning, and I was going to wait a day before reporting it--but apparently Dante had a great Saturday scrimmage, and many on the inside believe that it gave a big edge to Moore.

My Duck-Buddies...we got the Google Chrome problem fixed, and now the video loading issue. No more HUGE videos! Soon...I hope to have more color offerings for these Pinned Posts, and for text inside a post.

In an On3 article today, he believes that there will be a rematch in the B1G championship game of last year, and this time James Franklin will break through. We gotta do it on the field! Enough of the jibber-jabber. Oregon will have a sneaky-good defense this year...
