  1. https://www.addictedtoquack.com/2025/6/21/24453107/oregon-ducks-football-new-indoor-facility-update-06-2025 Not much help, but shows where they were in June.
  2. Good question. DG has been successful everywhere he plays. Because of his size there are doubts whether his game translates to the NFL. My Duck sense (I am a total homer) tells me that he gets his shot, and becomes a starter. His success will probably depend upon whether he has an offensive line that gives him time to settle into the role.
  3. Actually, Colt was already using heroin in high school. I knew the AD at Hillsboro High, and he stated that he truly hoped Colt could stay away from the drugs, alcohol, and trouble. The guy was a tremendous athlete, a man against boys at the high school level.
  4. I think the OL dictates whether they cover the spread. There may be some issues, but they should be on the field long enough to get them figured out. I think the Ducks could run 75% of the time and win this game, but our QB needs the passing reps.
  5. The metrics that Peyton uses make a lot of sense. An NFL QB needs to be able to win games, but most importantly not lose games with bad decisions.
  6. Any time I read his name I feel like I need to go wash my hands. I feel that Duck fans were amused that the self promoter fell flat on his face at his dream school. Be careful what you wish for…
  7. I could have trained Barry Sanders and he still would have had similar results. He was the most elusive RB to ever play the game. Have watched the following many times…
  8. Impressive, the number of fan bases that get their undies all bunched up over Oregon is now officially coast to coast.
  9. The old adage, “The Best offense is a good defense”, comes to mind. Unfortunately, we don’t live in utopia, and being proactive to minimize known threats saves lives. For anyone who served in our military services…. Thank You.
  10. I find it amusing that we constantly live in their heads. At some point their fans need to realize that they need better coaching and players. They are now throwing around money, and are accumulating talent, good for them. They really should be asking themselves whether Riley is the guy to turn all the money into a championship team. From what I can see, the longer he stays, the worse they get.
  11. Notre Dame football is an army of one. Oregon’s viewership numbers are many times in the same ballpark when nationally televised. Therefore, when you add all the other Marquee names in the BIG, Notre Dame can go kick dirt. NBC keeps them afloat, but to keep their contract, they have to schedule games that are somewhat interesting. I rarely watch them play. They always seem over-rated. Ranking sports teams for play-off berths is always subjective. Too many variables impact a football teams performance, weather, injuries, etc. Make the playoff seeding as fair as possible, and play ball.
  12. As a fan, I would always like the inside information on battles for starting position, but I trust the process. I think there are plenty of reps available in practice for two players. The pressure of competing for a position is nothing new, and you want a young QB to practice under pressure, while demonstrating that they are also a leader, when they have the field. They always will need to have at least 2 QB’s ready to go on any given game day.
  13. I have to think most of the SUC fans can’t be happy about the money they paid for Riley, especially when you look at his results. Each season his win/loss record gets worse. SUC dished out big money for a used Lincoln, only to find out it has engine trouble. Contrast that to Oregon, we took a calculated risk on a young energetic coach that wants to outwork the competition. Lanning surrounded himself with a young like minded staff, and it is obvious it carried over to the players. SUC is throwing around money, but is it being used effectively? Compare the atmosphere surrounding the team in Smog town to Eugene. Must win vs. let’s go out and take a run at the title again …only this time with a few of SUCs top lineman…lol
  14. We have a pretty solid list of coaches. Melyssa Lombardi deserves accolades for resurrecting the program. However, I did notice that Kelly Graves contract is through the end of this upcoming season. If the team fails to improve this year is a coaching change on the horizon?
