Santa Rosa Duck

Nike sales are flat. Nike Reverses Course as Innovation Stalls and Rivals Gain Ground Shoe giant stumbled as CEO John Donahoe pulled away from retailers and relied on old hits. Now it says it’s refocusing on cutting-edge footwear for athletes. https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/nike-reverse-innovation-stalls-rivals-gain-c3ed8e63?st=lhhz1onotg3dpo7&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

Thank you Kim, you will be missed.

Thank you Jon. Surprising to me to not see The Ohio State University on this list.

At this point it is clear that something is awfully wrong and might it be the coach?

This was released on April 1 "April Fools Day"

I told my wife last night that we won the Pac 12 Basketball Championship as well as the Pac 12 Football Championship in the last year of the Pac 12 and then I remembered who actually won the football championship, oh well............... Nice Job DUCKS!

Best wishes Kim, look forward to seeing your posts again soon!

Here is an article from my community in Santa Rosa, CA. A local female cross country star just signed a marketing contract with New Balance. Maybe this is old news to some of you, but I did not know that NIL now reaches down to the high school level. https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/sports/montgomerys-hanne-thomsen-signs-with-new-balance-becoming-sonoma-countys/?utm_source=article_gift&utm_medium=copy-link&ac=YXJ0aWNsZS1zaGFyZQ==&ah=3X8j9RWbavYk

Thanks David Marsh. I am still mourning the loss of the Pac 12. From Santa Rosa CA, I will no longer be able to day trip to Stanford or Berkeley to see my DUCKS! Still look forward to Eugene for one game per year. BTW a friend yesterday told me that he and three friends are going to the Ohio State game. The closest hotel room they could book was Cottage Grove!. They still have to purchase tickets on the secondary market. I wonder what the price will be. These are some of the hurdles when you are not local and do not have season tickets. Oh well..........

Mr. FishDuck you are certainly consistent. When ever you post about the University of Washington, I can count on one more great example of Schadenfreude. "Pleasure derived by someone from another personsl misfortune". Just to be clear, I love it!

Just when do we transition to Big 10 TV?

I would imagine that Dan Lanning are being pursued by some players from UW. Do we want them?

Just read several reports that Dan Lanning is in Tuscaloosa right now.

This might be a landing spot for Jim Harbaugh. He could get out from under some of the mess he has made around the football program at Michigan.

Best of luck to you Charles. Rent yourself a very nice place in a very nice neighborhood. Now you may not be ready for this advice. Find a high end gym close to your residence. You will find that as a single mature male, the actuarial tables are in your favor and you will be very much in demand.
