Nice to see Justin back in a Ducks uni!!

Justin becomes the first Duck to be named, Rookie Of The Year! Justin talks about his season.

Wow, how time flies.... What a difference maker!

Great news!! Go Ducks!!

I panicked for a second when I saw the dog face, but then I remembered - o yeah, UConn... LOL!!

...a moment I'll not soon forget... I believe the only way to heal from this atrocity is more trips to the Natty! Go Ducks!!!

Payton's motor never stops... love that kid! Glad he's doing so well at the next level!! Go Ducks!!!

As I believe most of the other posters have been, I too was drawn to the original FishDuck site by my love of Oregon Football. But I also believe that we (being awesome OREGON fans, have a deep appreciation for all the sports played throughout the year. I don't mind at all this forum being more football centered (especially with the recent disappointing ending to our season), but I know I also have a strong interest in the other sports. I'm enjoying the basketball background as I am also a big Ducks BB fan, and love how the college game is played. The only sport I personally participated in was track in high school (waaay back in the last century...), so I also keep track of what is going on with our world class athletes in track and field. I am looking forward to many other photos as the seasons and years go by. Thanks Charles, for the time, energy & $$ you invest into this site! BTW, the font size increase does help a little...

Glad to see Duarte get the recognition. Chris always hustles, and boy did he turn it UP in last 6 minutes on Saturday! His play, and the MBB win sure helped Saturday end on a better note... Congratulations Chris, and thanks for playing so hard! Go Ducks!!

Woohoo!! Gotta love the power of the 'stache!!

Dunno how things are going to go with Avalos, but I bet that Boise looks a lot better this morning than it did yesterday morning...

wow... just jumping in here late with a few comments - if there is redundancy, my apologies... I really think we can hang this loss on the coaching staff, primarily the Head Coach. Taking Shough out just before the end of the first drive really messed with our mojo. We've been hearing that they wanted Tyler to get his confidence back, but subbing him out right before the good stuff happened was a bad idea. I'm not sure the coaches were successful in getting buy-in from him about this new 2 quarterback system that seemed to pop up overnight as it were. Then when Brown couldn't sustain an actual drive, they sub Tyler back in, but his body language showed no emotion or drive. At one point in the game, the camera panned across Tyler when the other players were applauding a play on the field, and Tyler was just clapping politely - no emotion at all. Wouldn't surprise me to see his name in the transfer portal tomorrow.... It also wouldn't surprise me if the unusually poor performance on special teams was also impacted by this uncertainty. I feel that shuffling back and forth between quarterbacks, and not letting Tyler finish the first drive and be rewarded for getting them down the field took something away from the whole team. I know the defense played their back side off, but they couldn't win it all by them selves, especially after the coaches shot the offense in the foot too many times. Just my 2 cents worth... olcodgerduck

I am enjoying the direction the Oregon Brand is taking. Too many disappointing losses on the national stage due to being built lean for speed. I appreciate the foundational elements that MC is insisting on, while still implementing speed and talent to compliment. If we want to beat the national power houses consistently, we will need to do what they do, but better! I feel that is the direction we're heading, and I am excited about the continuing evolution of Oregon Football! I am also enjoying the direction of this new Forum! I remember being drawn to the original FishDuck site years ago because of the welcoming atmosphere and civil discourse. I did indeed find it a refuge from all the angst found on other sites and forums. There is enough of that in our real lives, and I for one appreciate the opportunity to step aside from that stuff and relax and talk Ducks. Go Ducks!!
