Sorry. My bad. I guess I read about their semifinal win. Need to do better research. Txs.

It's not a B1G championship, but the acrobatic tumbling team just won a national championship this past weekend. Gotta count for something.

I didn't think Moore was the best qb. I thought Austin Novosad looked good. Even Luke Moga was good. And I like Akili Smith's potential. We have a true qb competition. What think the rest of you?

I know you're absolutely right about this Mr. Fishduck, but sometimes you just want one more hit on that piñata. I guess I can take solace in the final score being 42 - 6. Go Dillon Gabriel. Go Ducks!!

Tyler Shough also drafted. That means every starting qb for Oregon since 2012 is in the NFL (or CFL). Quterback U!! Go Ducks!!

I went to the practice at Hillsboro stadium. Throughly enjoyed it! Good attendance also. My thoughts are that practice times are so limited by NCAA rules, might a public practice limit game plan install? There is already huge fan interest in the Ducks so there wouldn't be much of a gain there. Bringing up all the equipment etc would be major logistics problem. Same with softball or soccer. The UP Pilots already have some baseball games, do fans turn out? As much fun as it could be for me, I don't see the gain for the effort from the Ducks perspective. Keeping the spring game is a big plus. That's enough for me.

A big NO. Every time I see someone wearing #8, it reminds me of Marcus and brings a big smile to my face. Same with the numbers #21 or #24. I think of the other great RB's that wore those numbers. I think it's a greater honor for someone to wear "Marcus' #" than to retire it. C'mon, we are all laughing at Colorado. Let's not copy them.

It's tough being a 2 sport athelete, especially track and football. Being a sprinter he wouldn't want to add too much muscle bulk. And he has been competing in track meets. He recently came 3rd in the 100m with a 10.4 time or better. The 3 freshmen who came this year have been really excellent it seems, so good for RP to move on. I believe it leaves us 3 schollies to fill before Sept. Do we have any glaring needs to fill from the portal?

Ah, spring is the season of eternal hope. Our baseball and softball teams win, our golf teams are solid, and our football team is undefeated. But seriously, reading about spring practice has me salivating believing we will be better than last year. And we went 12-0!! Yes, lots of new faces in starting spots, but the talent level!! And true freshmen rocking it! I am so looking forward to the spring game. Hope to see y'all there.

I read some think he is the best "pure passer" in the draft. Not sure what that means, but I wish him well. He is a good person, solid character. If he continues to develop he can have success in the league. He's still a Duck to me.

I believe UCLA was the only D1 school to show any interest. Nico came very close to not having a school. He and the Bruins will have a lot of eyes on them. Will it translate to butts in the seats? Doubtful. Wins? Even more doubtful. Negative press. Most likely. Wish we played them this year... Well, like Mr. Fishduck pointed out, perhaps any attention is better than no attention.

I'm sure someone will take a chance with this kid, but it will be interesting to see just where. Is it possible he doesn't get picked up? Will he even get the 2M he was unhappy with? Will he have time to learn an offense, jell with teammates, and have a productive final year? Seems like this kids parents didn't help him make a good choice. This appears likely to cost him millions in the future as well. I hope others are watching. And learning.

Great points on Coach Lanning and Oregon. I hope it's true and continues. The attitude of entitlement is the demise of work ethic. Maintaining the work hard attitude is key for everyone's development. Keep it up coach. (Boy did we get lucky with his hire, or what!)

Not to be rude, but WHO CARES!! Whiners will whine. Winners will win. Most people who post their personal thoughts probably shouldn't. Or at least get real facts first. NIL opportunities are available for all schools. Still need to put a "team" on the field not just a bunch of star players. Still need good coaching. Go DUCKS!!

They've created their own conference...where they are mediocre out of the gate. It seems everyone knew, but themselves.
