  1. Considering that Neuheisel has fallen out of the coaching ranks, at a time when successful coaches land huge contracts, he is where he belongs. A healthy percentage of Sirius subscribers leave after their free trial is over after buying a new vehicle. Siruis(ly) does anyone subscribe just to listen to his broadcast’s?
  2. An embarrassing press conference. He will be in front of a microphone every game. He better perform much better on the sidelines, or his coaching career will end quickly.
  3. Our 2nd tier players could easily be a top 25 team if we got solid play from one of our backup QB’s. The talent we have that will be standing on the sidelines any given play is unprecedented.
  4. The increase in the number of games for a playoff team can be substantial. Scheduling OOC teams that require the starters to play the entire game just exposes your best players to injury. Having games where your team can bring in younger players for game experience seems a much better way to decrease injuries to your key players. Especially, for a team that has a legit shot at a championship.
  5. That Duck is awesome. Hopefully, nobody wrecks their car while bird watching.
  6. If you can’t beat him, have him join you. Good things happen when you can force QB’s to throw into tight windows, or make them spend more time going through progressions.
  7. A down to earth interview which gave me another reason to like a man that I don’t know.
  8. Jessica Hull recently set the women’s World record in the 2,000 meters in Monaco. She won the race by over 6 seconds. I watched a replay, and it was obvious she had that as her goal from the very start. Even though she is running for Australia I have to cheer for a Duck.
  9. Opponents will have Oregon circled on their schedules. We will be getting everyone’s best efforts. A win against OBD elevates every opposing team based upon the preseason rankings. I love that we are getting solid reviews and projections. However, you can’t win any games in July.
  10. I added BTN Big Ten Network for $10/mo + tax on Xfinity using their app. If you already have app set up, it takes less than 5 minutes to get access. Not free, but convenient.
  11. Oregon Ducks vs Oregon State Beavers: EA Sports predicts the winner DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM A look at how EA Sports College Football 25 simulated the non-conference showdown between the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers in 2024. We barely squeak by the PAC 2 Championship contender. Looks like a pad the stats weekend.
  12. I always thought Chris Miller became a turning point for the program. He was truly a tremendous athlete in High School, and honestly, an injury probably kept him from going to a better team. I suppose that Royce Freeman should be a candidate as well. Our all time rushing leader with 60 TD’s. For defense, hands down Haloti Ngata.
  13. Traditional rivalries went out the window with conference realignments. Oregon has one of the top teams in the nation, with the ability to continue to recruit at a very high level into the future. Take a look at the rodents recruiting. SDSU, WSU, BSU, and Idaho will be a more competitive rivalry for them. I think many Duck fans oppose playing them simply because of the financial windfall they would receive from us. They will not be a threat to the Ducks for the foreseeable future.
  14. It is great when players are buzzing about the proram. A lot of recruits from around the country attend the same football camps. So, our guys can do a little advertising about what Oregon has to offer, and the culture around the program. Jordon Davison states that when Locklyn left he felt that Oregon wasn’t for him anymore. Dan Lanning makes personal contact with him and he commits. There is no doubt that Dan is special when it comes to creating a picture of how these players will fit into our offense, or defense. He has elevated the program into something special, and his guys have the talent to win a Championship. With the talent that is already here, and more on the way, the Ducks look destined to add that Championship trophy to the display case.
