Bringing in two punters makes me think that Snee is likely NOT coming back. I know he had some "issues" to get sorted. I wish him the best.

Success to me will be seeing improvement every week, not playing down to the competition, and finishing off the opponent. If these things happen. It will be at least 10 win season. With multiple blowouts. Remember those?

Yeah, a lot of build up just to cut the list to seven. But, at least DL and the boys (@UO) are still in it.

Jaden Rashada, Pittsburg 5-star quarterback, cuts list, sets commitment date - Scorebook Live NEWS.SCOREBOOKLIVE.COM Pittsburg High School (California) five-star quarterback Jaden Rashada is one step closer to making his college decision. After teasing a mysterious Tuesday June 18th announcement. Oregon makes the cut.

Yes.... Thank you for your help!

Isle of Man TT (motorcycle race) Monaco GP (F1 Race) Ducks vs Bama (NCG) 2023! Those are my bucket list dreams.... Planning on: UO vs GA Sept. 3rd 2022 Chargers vs Raiders Dec 4th 2022

Very cool! Its been 25 years since my youngest was that size. Hope your son enjoys every second of it.... and you as a grandpa spoil her rotten!

Charles, I appreciate your opinion and your passion for all things green and yellow. I do feel green and yellow are the school colors and should be well represented in all uniform combinations. Since black and white are not even "colors" their use within the uniform design does not bother me. When used correctly they can enhance the feel and promote emotion. Black strikes fear. White suggests superiority. These are both emotions that should be felt by all of the Ducks competition. Nike infused these shades into the uniforms knowing this. The recruits love it. Nike also realized that adding these multiplies the possible combinations to a near infinite number. This set our Ducks apart from every other school for years. Yes, others are catching up and it may be time to up the ante. This may lead to some failures (like the eggshell uni's). but may lead to the next great idea. I feel the blue bloods can afford to stay classic and Oregon needs to stay innovative. At least we all love our Ducks regardless of what they are wearing.

I saw this parked in Dan Lanning's spot.

I just hope for a competitive (one score) game versus Georgia. Then the Ducks need to improve weekly. If that happens a win against the Utes in inevitable. As is a win against whoever is in the P12 championship game. I'm not saying any of this is going to happen. I'd be happy with a 10 win season and not playing down to the competition. That is my realistic hope for this year.

DazeNconfused..... You need a new name. You seem anything accept dazed or confused! Another great well thought out post. Love him or hate him Mario can gather talent. If only he could draw up a game plan. He'd be unstoppable! Until then he'll scrape by on collected talent alone. I see a lot of nine win seasons in his future.

Ol' John... he always asks the pertinent questions!

Enjoyed your well thought out post and agree for the most part. I believe overall talentwise it is a wash. But, we have collected many players with specific coach ties. This will help the communication/comprehension of the new staff and players. This will be huge in how fast the new system develops and manifests itself on the field. This staff continues to impress me with their foretaught and purposeful moves.

So true! MC won a decent percentage of games. But, that percentage looks much better than it would have against a competitive Pac12. Put him in this league 10-15 years ago he'd be a .500 coach. Albeit a .500 coach who can recruit. I'm so looking forward to points on the board and excitement in the stands. You know..... Oregon football! Go Ducks!!!

I was not happy to see this. He was one of the guys I was impressed with during the spring game. He seemed like an upgrade to Snee.

That was EXACTLY my thought! I'll read everyone's CliffsNotes throughout the day.

I think this goes without saying.... at least it does in my cart!

With 4.93 million maybe they can afford to splurge (spend the extra 100k) and buy the house behind the tee box next time.

Very well put! I was always pulling for him. But, was never impressed by the product on the field. Thanks goodness for Autzen traditions that made game day tolerable.

It's Sunday and I don't have much time. But here were my thoughts from the Spring Game. 1) QB's... I marched into Autzen pulling for TT. I left believing he is the #3 QB. Nix appeared (to me) to easily be the starter. 2) RB's... I was impressed with Sean Dollars. He was running with more aggression and vision than the other backs. Again just my opinion. 3) DJ looked great on defense. He has talent at TE.... But, he belongs on the D. 4) Cota and Thorton (?). We will be hearing these names A LOT this year. Very impressed with the WR's. Overall was happy with how the team looked when thinking how young they are... and learning a new system. Autzen is so amazing when under blue skies. One negative observation. I had some students right behind me. The whole group (15-20 of them) seemed to hold a severe prejudice against who they call "Auburn Boy". I was not impressed. I may be old. But, why come to a scrimmage game to heckle/boo/curse anyone on the team that reps your University? They were so oblivious to what was going on they were calling Butterfield "Auburn Boy" as well. I have to say I was very disappointed in this group of our young fans. I can only hope they gain some knowledge and respect by fall.

In other news. Florida State just offered Pitcher Owen Woodward a scholarship to play linebacker for their football team. We are told Crusty Crab Legs is all in with NIL endorsement. We'll keep you posted on this developing story...

He definitely knew how to get the best out of his players!

Agreed! I feel much more confident that DL (and staff) will have the Ducks coached up and thriving to learn. If he can keep the recruiting on par with Mario... the sky's the limit!

While I agree with this statement.... one must remember that a Head Coach is responsible for both coaching and recruiting. So while you have the right to be highly critical of his coaching (most all of us would agree). I would think you could agree that he left the program/roster in better shape than he inherited it. I believe roster change was what Flintstone was referring to.

This! QB is the one position that is much more than being a great athlete. Many of the greatest QBs of all time were not great athletes.... But, they all had great minds that could process all the moving parts of the game quickly. Ty even admitted a week or two ago that things are finally starting to click. Hopefully, this portion of his game will catch up to his athleticism.
