Would TV Execs WORK with Taylor Swift...for Ratings?
Dave23 replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
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. -

KJ has seemed off the last 2 games. Stopping Williams is tuff ask for anyone but having one of the big guys in the middle sure wouldn't hurt. -

Better energy, that but chewing at halftime seams to be working. -

Dana is definitely not happy, I would not want to be in that locker room. No ball movement, flatfooted on D. -

The Ducks are having a hard time finding their rhythm and need to keep driving the ball to the rim. -
