[Whew! IMPRESSIVE Video About WR Verbal Jack Ressler]

This isn't an exact quote, but when one of his previous coaches warned him he might not get many [ball] touches if Jack selected the Oregon Ducks as his college/university team, Jack's reply was something to the effect, 'I want to play with the best to be the best'.

That statement was in reference to him choosing an 8th Grade team called the Ducks.

using lots of pitchers for short stretches keeps your options open and your arms fresh.

That approach worked wonders for the KC Royals a decade ago.

Oregon State is ranked 10th and NOT one of the 16 host sites?

Funniest thing about this, is I saw someone complain about Stanford being ranked so high, and Kendall Rogers of D1 Baseball alluded to Stanford having a history that made them worthy.  If that's true, the beavers should definitely have that same consideration.

[The Decline of the Eugene Register-Guard]

I used to get all my Duck News from The Register Guard back in the Day.  Schroeder left for USA Today, Adam Jude left to be the Husky Beat Writer, & Rob Moseley went to work directly for The Ducks.  That was pretty much it for me.  Then they started putting up Paywalls.

That's my favorite thing about Lanning.  He is building an organization on need, as opposed to stacking a bunch of 5 Stars,  Layering talent together like a Lasagna.

I pretty much always root for the Ducks, and have rooted in the past for Brooks, but my cheering days for him are over.

I will never not root for a Duck.  Especially for an overly Self important person like Lebron.  Dillon is doing his job.  That is to pester and slow down the best player on the other team.  Mission Accomplished.

My only issues with Williams, and even Wur, are the fact that they seem to be trying too hard at times.  Leads to them rushing, which leads to mistakes.  But I like what we've seem from this team in the NIT.

I was hoping that Ware would be able to show out in the NIT.  I'm happy now that it's Bittle, because we know he's coming back next year.  Ware is still a low percentage chance of coming back.

[THE PAC-16 - Time to Go to a 'Super Conference?']

As long as the BIG XII is forced to stay put, the PAC should be fine.  Take SDSU & Fresno St to fill in.  Then wait and see what the BIG XII does.  Nothing that gets done at this point is going to move the needle financially, but doing nothing could severely limit the future.  Maybe in a few years the BIG XII, without OU & Texas, loses all of its luster.  Then you have a Texas Tech and / or Baylor come available.

Seems better than a Houston, UTEP, UTSA, North Texas, et al....

[Nike HQ: Duck Signing Day Event]

I'm sorry, but Canzano won't be right until the Beavs start recruiting (Top 30 - 40 overall) better.  At this point they'll get the occasional good season, but to sustain they need better players.  Now that ASU got their QB, that's 11 of 12 teams with good QBs, it's going to get tougher to succeed in the PAC.  Smith is a good developer, but even Utah needed to start getting more 4 Stars before they got over the hump.  The next few years should be fun!
