I'll disagree on this as I think it is a bit harsh. There seems to be enough other parts that a journeyman QB can win us some games. Hopefully, we won't have to find out!

Since it was a glorified scrimmage, and a good exposing one at that, my best takeaway was watching touchbacks, decent punting and Cam Lewis looking as if his leg is stronger.

Travis Gray, the son of Lamarr Gray, a linebacker on Colorado’s 1990 national championship team. Gray received a text message from offensive line coach Bill O’Boyle the day after Colorado’s Spring Game, asking him to come to the team facility to meet with Sanders. "I was like, ‘Oh, God.’ I saw the mean mug in his face," Gray said. "He told me, ‘You’re 6-foot-8, 320 pounds. I know in my heart of hearts a school is going to pick you up in the portal when you enter. Make your weaknesses your strengths and keep progressing. I hope you have a great future, it just won’t be here at the University of Colorado.’"

Unfortunately, not everyone is playing with the same deck, but it has always been that way. Previously with the old 105 scholarship limit and non-existent transfer rules, it was basically indentured servitude for the haves. Then the $ECs and U$Cs of the past with their deep pocketed donors and non-existent NCAA oversight held the edge. Now, with the NIL and open portal, a bit more haves have entered the picture. It's the new Darwinism of college sports. So, we have to suck it up and play with the cards we are dealt. Fortunately, we have an "Ace" uncle (of two) to assist us.

Jeez, how many balls will Kentucky and Duke play with this year.

Sorry, but wake me when whatever ink that needs to be dry, is. Until then, all this static is in the "life's too short" category, as I wouldn't get the time back that I "would have" spent reading it. P.S. I skipped to the end of this topic in order to make my "last" post on these rumor-mill headlines. P.P.S. Someone will have to take up my moderating slack on these topics.

HUH

Oregon announces the signing of JUCO star Jadrian Tracey 247SPORTS.COM The Oregon Ducks have signed another prospect to its 2023 recruiting class. But can he shoot free throws? And, when will Jackson Shelstad get his 5th *

Not me.

Good. I recently ran into an Auburn fan and when she saw I was a Duck she commented on us being rivals. I thanked her for Nix. She commented on how much NIL he must have gotten to come to Oregon. Then said Auburn for years had been paying recruits after I mentioned Newton.

Not when you consider their NIL Ferraris

Oregon hosts No. 1 ranked Transfer Portal SF Dalton Knecht for official visit 247SPORTS.COM The Oregon Ducks hosted one of the top transfer portal prospects this offseason for an official visit.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst. . . Jack Reacher

Just DON"T Do It. Not good for the "student athlete". Oregon money will always be there. Might benefit the "athlete-sometime-goes-to-class-just-here-for-possible-pro-career-and-chicks student"

Or, U$C and ucla screwed me over . . . I was promised I could keep my frequent flyer miles.

Evidently the new NCAA prez, Charlie Baker former Governor of Mass, is Emmert 2.0.

Hey Dana, if you want more fans in the stands, then hold a fan free throw contest, anyone who makes 50%, gets 1) season tickets, and 2) preferred walk-on status!

Tara: "I know our men's team would be ecstatic to play two games in the NCAA tournament." Did not see that coming. I guess she does not like being the first #1 seed to not advance to the sweet sixteen since 2009. Warms my heart after a quote like that.

"Que sera sera" and "Just win baby". We'll be fine as we have "relative" strength in our guardian uncle. I'm also glad the canaries in So Cal will be testing the "truck stop conference's" (kudos to Mr. Walton) coal mine. I sure we'll hear from some disgruntled student athletes after they graduate or transfer back to the Pac about the insanity of the travel and weather in some of their new locations.

Sorry Charles, you should have seen Niagara fall coming! (couldn't resist)

I'll disagree in that we don't need that source do to two words . . . Uncle Phil

Thanks Jon, how many continuing ed credits is your post worth? I say 1 hour minimum, as I have spent more time getting less information from other seminars. In CA I think there was also tortuous interference with contract "intentionally damages someone else's contractual or business relationships with a third party, causing economic harm."* *Legal disclaimer: the above is not meant to give legal advice nor imply an attorney-client relationship with Fishduck or the poster.

Six Ducks included in updated 247Sports transfer portal top 150 rankings 247SPORTS.COM Six Ducks included in updated 247Sports transfer portal top 150 rankings Plus some that didn't make the list are up there. Interesting that the ducks are 9th nationally, but 4th in the Pac 12 (2nd in the Pac 10)

Just not soon enough!!!
