Ducks coming out strong playing some decent D, Evans is active and I love it when he plays tenacious D. Offense is doing a lot of pushing the ball off of turnovers and scoring in transition. A little sloppy here and there but I like the pace.

ESPN, Warner Bros and Fox are Teaming up for Sports Streaming
Dave23 replied to Dave23's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Your probably right, I'm sure at some point that steaming will be just as expensive or more expensive than cable. Currently I get NBC, CBS, Fox, and ABC for free over a digital antenna so for me those have very little value. The whole reason for people cutting the cord was to not pay $150 to $200 a month for TV. $50 a month for 2/3 of sports 1/3 of which I can watch for free. I'm not sure that is a sustainable model but then again I am cheap when it comes to TV subscriptions as most of it is junk. Will there be any backlash at $50 for basically ESPN and FS1? Most sports package add-ons for cable or satellite are 13 to $15 which gets you all of the extra channels. This does not include DVR but currently I get ESPN on demand thru the app, I guess there's some value to getting Fox on demand but I'm just not sure it's $35 a month worth for me. If the cable companies up their prices I'll just go back to watching the games on the networks for free. If they quit airing them on the networks then I'll listen to it on the radio. I'm sure I'm in the very small minority that thinks this way and most people will just pony up for it. -

$50/a month seam like a lot more than I'd pay. I pay $70 a month for regular cable that includes all those options minus ESPN+. -

This could be the true start of the steaming bundle. I hope they get the interface right as that will make it or break it for me. If they get the other two networks on board and I can buy a sports only package I would never buy regular TV again. The true question is how much will it cost. -
Would TV Execs WORK with Taylor Swift...for Ratings?

My 8 year old daughter is now a Kansas City Chiefs fan which isn't great considering I'm a Raiders fan but at least she's watching football now. -
LIVE THREAD: Oregon Takes on USC in Important Road Swing
Dave23 replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I didn't get to watch the game live and the ESPN app was acting up but what I got to see was Shelstad with a spring in his step that we haven't seen in weeks. This team seems to be gelling with Dante and his conditioning is looks better all the time. This was a really good road win with the team showing better defense and team play. No one wants to play a Altman team in February and this looks to me too be a great start. Personally I'm not too worried about Bittle and I think he's a great player but he's more of a natural 5 spot than a 4. Evans athleticism is a little more in line with the college 4 spot and he can guard the more athletic guards when forced to switch off on a screen. He did a pretty good job on Ellis without fouling. Offense is generally not the problem with this team as just about anyone can score, defense should dictate the personnel on the court. -
Talk about the best safety name ever "Savage" is exactly the guy you want patrolling the secondary.

Thanks for bringing up this topic, as an employer I deal with workman's comp on a regular basis and this opens up a really big can of worms. I can only speak to how Montana works but this could get really expensive really quick. I own a restaurant and pay about 1.1% of on top of a salary for workman's comp insurance. If I was a roofing contractor I could pay anywhere from 10% to 20% on top of a salary depending on my safety track record. Football being a relative dangerous sport will lead to some extremely high premiums. Every state has different rules and every college would be assessed differently depending on their track record of safety. Once again this will just lead to more inequality in the balance of schools depending on their state and if they're legislature is friendly to the sport. I'm not saying these kids don't deserve healthcare, they most certainly do. Finding a balance will be extremely difficult and should probably be hashed out between players, schools and the federal government to even the playing field for everyone. I believe it's been said many times on this forum that college football is turning into a minor league sport and this is definitely a step in that direction.

Quaaack! Washington CB Jabbar Muhammad Is a Duck
Dave23 replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
We've had a first rounder or two but never the supporting cast especially at safety. McKinley III was the last real impact safety we've had, once we get a Holland, Boyett, Ward, ect. in the backend everyone on the field will look a lot better. -
Arizona has started off strong but the Duck are stepping with some D. Evan is looking good keep it up boy.

Can't wait to get off this channel as well, for so many reasons. It's streaming well for me in Montana on Spectrum. They seem to be getting back to the old line up a little more which is definitely helping. Dante and Bittle are going to take some time to integrate, the entry pass to the low post seams to be a foreign concept. That said there's some real nice flashes of what can be like Dante dishing the ball from the inside out for a 3.

Ducks Flying High: Updated Top 25 for 2024
Dave23 replied to criticalduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Colorado made the top 25, what a joke. I guess the media plays for clicks too. -
Probably the best place for him no recruiting, and all he needs to call plays.

Utah will be an interesting game, they have two 7 footer's that start down low. Evans will have to step up and guard one of these guy for a good part of the game. Carlson averages 17.2 points and Keita averages 9.9 they combined for 35 points agents OSU which is a small ball team. Judging from last game Dante may not be allot of help hope Bittle is good too go he's probably still in good shape as he had a wrist injury and could still run. Diawara needs to foul less and stay in the game longer or this could get ugly down low.

Tonight: Oregon Men's Basketball Game Against Colorado
Dave23 replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I would have like to see Oquindo and Tracy play more, they have more heft and weren't being pushed around as much as the other guard. They also play a style of D that is tuff and in your face. Cook and Dante need to get in shape. Seams to me that Cook would have been a good matchup for Williams who was just killing it against the smaller guards. Dante doesn't even seam like himself, barely able to elevate and getting stuffed by little guys. Colorado is a tall team that is also quite agile, they played the toughest D the Ducks have seen all year. -

Shelstad is not being the creator he normally is, not seeing those drive and dish or pull up jumpers. Looking a little timid.
