I remember way back when all Duck games (and I think most, if not all, PAC games) started at 1:00 pm., which I thought was great. (I know not everyone would be happy about that start time, but I loved it.) Yes, that was before all games were on TV, so there's the hitch. But still, I'd be happy with noon, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm games and getting home before it is dark.

This--exactly!!!

Oops, talked about you-know-who. Sorry! 😞

The first time I heard this song I was driving home from my first full-time job after college. It blew me away--I rolled down the windows and turned up the volume. Love the drums, especially at 1:48.

I think Oregon should continue with the tradition of not retiring a player's number. There's a display of his Heisman Trophy in the H-D complex. Fans can see it, touch it, take pictures of it/with it. I think that's a better tribute than retiring his number.

I agree with Rece. Retire the headgear pick too. That was Corso's schtick and IMHO it wouldn't seem right with someone else doing it.

Longtime ESPN 'College GameDay' analyst Lee Corso to retire after Week 1 SPORTS.YAHOO.COM Corso, 89, will do one more show before ending his career. I've really enjoyed his long run and will certainly miss him. I'm curious as to what they'll do now at the end of each show.

Not stars that went on to great success in the NFL, but Jeff Maehl and Joe Reitzug were exciting to watch at Oregon.

Having grown up in CT, I must confess I was rooting for UConn.

Since their season began in November, the Ducks have crisscrossed the country so frequently that the total distance they’ve traveled this season amounts to 26,700 miles. For the record, that’s the equivalent of traveling the entire circumference of planet Earth—and then adding on a few thousand miles for good measure. ...Oregon was forced to spend several days away from campus due to Big Ten bylaws that require at least two days between games (other conferences don’t have this rule). When the Ducks made their first cross-country trip to play Ohio State and Penn State in January, the team spent six days and five nights on the road. Yikes!

Happy that the Ducks won, amazed that they played the game with all this rain!

I don't remember ever using Chrome, but I'll give it a try.

On Twitter (AKA X), which I can access, though I now have to log in every time (as I now have to do here too), after each time I visit I get an email that there was a post from another device. All I can figure is that it is a newer computer, not the one on which I originally signed up for twitter. While I have cell phone, I don't use it to access these sites, because I prefer the bigger screen and larger keyboard of my desktop computer.

I've tried from another device, but same problem. Facebook is notoriously uncommunicative. No phone number, no chat, no nothing except a suggestion to do a search for the problem! And that leads to people who use FB trying (usually without success) to figure out how to solve it.

Unfortunately, there's no phone number, and when I try the "forgot password" it sends me a number code to use to get a new one, then when I put it in, it tells me the number is wrong. 😢

(I'll understand if this thread is deleted.) So, I had to clear my caches and cookies to solve an email problem. But in doing so I couldn't get into many sites, including this one. I'm obviously on this on now, but I have to login anew most times. The problem is Facebook will not let me back on there. I try to get a new password, but each time they send me code number to set up a new password, and every time I try to use it and they say the code number is wrong. So I've kind of given up. I really want to get on to my Facebook page and not have to set up a new one. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Will anyone be attending? (I went to a coaches clinic long ago in a different life.) https://x.com/oregonfootball/status/1899203344725688626/photo/1

There's a funny portion of the Bill Maher show where he talks about streaming, and how it is newer but not better. Parts of it made me laugh out loud. I'd post a link, but there is a brief political touch and a few foul words, so I'll just suggest going to Youtube and doing a search for New Rule: Newer, Not Better | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO), if you'd like to check it out. It's a little under 9 minutes long.

Good ole Sarge. 🙂 Of course there was also Lieutenant Rip Masters.

Lassie (during the Jeff & Porky years) and Rin Tin Tin.

I agree. Which is why I don't watch basketball these days. I root for the Ducks, but when they're playing I just check the score about every half hour. That's it.

I went to a small school in CT, no football team, so basketball was THE game at school (well, except for the year the soccer team won the state championship). I can remember a kid who could make shots from almost half court. My then boyfriend/eventual husband did hook shots, so of course I thought those were very exciting. Traveling was called. Double dribbles and carrying the ball were called. Dunking was not yet a thing, but hanging on the rim would have been called. Times have changed, and so has basketball.

Could be. But I've read often enough that Mom's wishes prevailed that this could still be a "who knows" yet decision.

Oregon has a club hockey team, which plays some teams from other states. Doubt there will ever be an official UO hockey team any time soon, however.

I remember several of the assistant coaches at Oregon under Rich Brooks were happy to stay as assistants at Oregon. They liked being position coaches, and working closely with the players. Back then I'm sure their salaries were nowhere near what assistant coaches can be paid today, but they liked what they were doing and they liked living in Eugene. Times change.
