Santa Rosa Duck

Everything has changed and not for the better for us fans. I have lost most of my interest in college basketball. One and done, constant transfers, no continuity etc. I feel the same thing is happening to me now regarding college football. Understand that I am speaking for myself and not most of the people on this forum but I know I am starting to lose interest.

I had never heard of Saint Pete's until maybe two days ago. I watched the game against Purdue and they were electric. Fast, swarming defense, take no prisoners. Probably lose to North Carolina but I will watch for sure!

For me, Bill Walton is the best. I like his attitude, insight to the game and his verbal trips to local outdoor destinations. My wife does not care to watch any basketball game unless.....Bill Walton is the announcer!

He is a fine player, but I never felt he gave 100%. Perhaps saving himself for the Pro's.

I just watch an occasional game. In this game it seemed the announcers were very pro ASU. In fact I believe that one of the announcers was an ex Arizona or ASU Coach. Is this normal?

Not sure what he meant when he said he hopes to be here for 2-4 years. Two years does not get him to the NFL.

Speaking of Legacy Players, what has happened to Chase Cota and his potential transfer?

He seems like a fine young man! Welcome aboard Dave Iuli.

Dye will be missed. What do we know about CJ Verdell?

If we brought in Caleb Williams along with Bo Nix, we could watch all our junior QB's exit. College football is never going to be the same or even close to what I grew up with.

It is January, hope for the New Year. We have to patch up our battered defense and find out if Coach Lanning is thinking like Mr. FishDuck and will bring us an offense that excites and produces. GO DUCKS!

Thank you Hayward Duck. Said very nicely and appropriate.

I would like to see each available QB get some reps.

This game is a disaster for our February recruiting.

Looked like Troy Franklin quit on AB.

Anthony Brown is off again and when he is off, he is not likely to get it together IMHO.

This is a great accomplishment and let's not forget that he is one heck of a fine receiver as well. Go Travis Dye!

DUCKS 42 Sooners 36 2 turnovers 2 sacks 252 Yards passing for Anthony Brown. Go AB! GO DUCKS! I am a hopeless optimist.

So where did Aaron Feld end up?

That would be a real coup since we did not play USC this year. In this article, what does "Not at Practice" mean? Disciplined?

Darren you perfectly described how I feel as well. I will watch the game, hope the DUCKS win and no one on either team gets hurt. But I am not excited.

Charles, you are clearly guilty of Schadenfreude and must now penalize yourself.

Permanent Ban

Jon, thank you for your insight but it makes me want to gag. Not your writing of course but college football as we know it is officially dead and buried. When NIL showed up, that was the end. The new transfer portal with no one year waiting was the second straw. You just have to know that boosters are now out buying talent as we speak. They have always done this but now they will do it with impunity. I have been college football depressed all year and now your fine article sums it up nicely. GO DUCKS, I think?

I was in a gift shop yesterday and wearing my Covid mask which is an Oregon Duck mask. In walk a younger married couple and he flashes me the "O". He says " You must be the one driving the GMC Yukon outside with California plates "Autzen 1". I said "That would be me" I am feeling pretty smug that I am really flying the colors. He then mentions that he and his wife have season tickets to Autzen. I then notice and mention that he has an "O" bracelet. He says that is nothing. He then rolls up his sleeve and has the "O" with the feathers on each side tatooed on his right forearm. At that point I said "I surrender" and we both had a good laugh.
