Players being "encouraged" to transfer out makes me sad. I think of the joy of the players, coaches, and fans when those players committed to the Ducks, and the excitement. I hope that those entering the portal because of pressure will find a good place to land and have success with their new teams. I'm hoping that as the current crop of coaches have the players they recruited in place, that pressure to transfer out will be reduced significantly or even eliminated.

This. And it makes me sad to think players are being pushed out.

I'd love to see Ty realize his potential in games, but as PD mentioned, he seems to get stage fright or something when playing when it counts. Maybe by fall he will have matured enough to be able to step on that stage and perform brilliantly. We can only wait and hope.

From what I've read, it's the same as in the past. Admission to the Spring Game is free. Fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to Food For Lane County.

If it's in Eugene, maybe. If it's in Ohio, no.

I also don't enjoy hearing the student section at football games saying, "And we're going to beat the "crap" (not quite what they say) out of you, and you, and you." It's not so terrible, I guess, compared to some things I hear being shouted, but I find it annoying and juvenile. Reminds me of when I and my friends were about 4 years old and thought that insulting someone by calling him/her a "pee-pee, wee-wee" was the height of hilarity, when, of course, it was just childish. (And if our parents heard us, we got scolded.🙂 )

I've heard only the first line of that version of the OSU fight song, and that part is definitely funny. But I'll guess it goes "downhill" from there. 😄

So, now there's etiquette in taunting and trash talking?

Oregon lands a commitment from On3 top-100 safety Aaron Flowers Oregon picked up a win on the recruiting trail Friday afternoon. That win came in the form of a commitment from On300 DB Aaron Flowers, who pledged to the Ducks over USC and Oklahoma on Friday. Flowers, a top-100 recruit out of Forney (Texas) High School in North Texas, was getting recruited primarily by head coach Dan Lanning, who made the elite safety a top priority for the Ducks in this cycle. “If the head coach is really involved in the recruiting process and is really on you, then the school really wants you a lot and you’re a big priority for them,” Flowers told On3.

Williams sees value in both ION and the CW networks. Well, I get both ION and CW already, so, selfishly, I can say that at least I'd have no problem seeing the games.

Thanks for helping with getting it to post with the pictures!

Good point. Sad, but true. 😢

Exactly!

(Note from Mr. FishDuck: I have pinned this because of the nature of sports, social media and human nature these days, and what is contained in post No. 6 below) I remember the idea of good sportsmanship being drummed into us starting in grade school. You weren't supposed to whine and complain if you lost, nor brag if you won. Sorry if this makes me a fossil, but I don't enjoy the trash talking, etc. in today's sports.

This will make me sound like a relic, but I think the lack of a local paper that at one time would have had pages devoted to the UO NIT is one factor. Even pre-game coverage on TV didn't seem to be particularly prevalent. Yes, it was the NIT, not the NCAA, but it was still post-season play. So a lack of marketing, be it from lack of funding or changing times, was most likely a factor.

And if their exams are over early in the week, they go home, and probably watch the game on TV from there.

On the one hand, I'd hate to see it. Basically, I hate change. And I don't want to see the demise of the PAC-however-many. On the other hand, it could mean games for Oregon would start at a reasonable hour, since the biggies in the big would not want their games starting at 10 pm or later their time.

One easy update to Matt Court arena would be to put up all the banners from all the past seasons. The one and only one up there looks lonely, and is barely visible. Current players may not know about past achievements, but many current fans do, and would probably enjoy seeing the reminders.

And where did he first hear it? Maybe the question could be put to an AI Chat Box? 😉

I was kind of hoping for a woman president, but he certainly sounds qualified. Good luck to him as new president of UO!
