So is this a done deal or still in negotiations? I thought they were considering it only. I think it's funny that hiring the great Riley (at $100M for 10 years) results in this scenario. Traditions be d*#nd! I wonder how long Notre Dame can remain independent. They do have a huge following.

I think Sadiq is already on everyone's radar. Not an unknown.

I completely believe Oregon is getting mistreated because we have won too much in our first year in the B1G.Add to that the lunacy belief that uncle Phil's $$ is the only reason for our success, and you end up with ODS, Oregon derangement syndrome. All we can do is keep winning, I guess. It is hard to schedule a season of games when the standards aren't set the same for everyone. I for one hope we see Beavis again, so that once again we can defeat little brother.

What a great finish! Oregon moves on to Softball World Series!! Come on boys, your turn next!

Ducks WIN!! Ducks WIN!!! WOO HOO!

I totally disagree with the 2 stolen base call outs in this game. Her foot clearly is back on the bag before the pitch. Need rules committee to reevaluate in off season. Very bad calls.

How do you get experienced qb's? They need to play. I like our qb room. Alot. Moore and Novosad are team leaders. They have rapport. They understand the offense. They are both ready to show out what they're capable of. Behind them Moga and freshman Akili Smith are very talented. This is the year we show what's been developed, not use a hired gun approach. We need to continue to attract stud qb's out of high school. This is the way. I'm counting on our O-line to give the boys time to see the plays and develop game experience. Our defense will give the ball back to the offense regularly, this is the year for young qb's. Bo and Dillon were awesome for us. As players and as team leaders. That's not always the case with portal players. Were we lucky, or the coaches that good? If this proves to not be QB-U, then I'm all in with Mr. Fishduck to portal pick more often. But to me, this is the year to see. Dante has had a full off-season to improve, he has some experience from ucla and our d-line and O-line are ready. Is it almost August yet?

So much of success in sports is cerebral. And success is contagious. As would be the reverse. Baseball in my opinion is very cerebral due to success being less than 50%. Always a need to put that last bad at bat behind you, or last pitch. In what other sport would a 30% batting average, (success ratio) be OK? With such a long season, maybe longer periods of ups and downs is inevitable. Whatever their motivation relies on, I hope they continue their stride into the post season.

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.
