I've GOT IT! The New Marketing Theme to Promote Oregon State...
Drake replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Drunk rodent that was in all Nike gear. Thank you for your support. -
More power to any conference that can sell their content and generate media revenue. Media companies pay for content as long as it is profitable to them. If you can sell your playoff idea, great. However, there are a lot of moving parts that need to be agreed upon. Ratings, ultimately decide if your content is valuable.

Oklahoma Spring Game Observation- Heisman Capital Of CFB
Drake replied to Duckley Palace's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Venables will find out quickly that the BIG12 and ACC were a much easier path to a playoff berth. Schooners will need Heisman caliber QBs to compete in the SEC. Venables record at Oklahoma is 16 - 10. If he stumbles in the SEC how long will he last as HC? -
Some Advice Please... Wife Wants to Offer a B&B for the Ohio State Game
Drake replied to Joe F's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I would connect with your insurance agent before opening up your home. You will want higher liability coverage than most home policies provide. -

Unless you’re charging an extremely high amount, not worth it. -
Is MKA Basketball Floor Being Replaced?
Drake replied to TheRunningDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The reason behind the court having a unique design was noble. However, it is time to move on. Most agree that it is a major distraction watching a game on TV. -
Mari(0) - A Record that Will Never Be Broken?
Drake replied to Jon Joseph's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
John Ruiz, decided to take matters into his own hands and throw money at making Miami sports relevant. Life wallet, a company he controls (LIFW), has had an epic loss in value in the last 18 months. Trading on the NASDAQ in 2022 for about $250/share, today it is less than $1/share, and in jeopardy of being delisted. Federal investigation ongoing. That is a good sign of the judgement and leadership he provides. You may fool investors once, but afterward it becomes much more difficult. It will be interesting to see how much more money he wants to give teenagers, and coaches. -
15 Teams We Want the Oregon Ducks to Play for the First Time
Drake replied to Thomallister1291's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The AD should schedule OOC games with an eye on being able get the offense and defense ready for conference play. Preferably while being able to rest starters and allow young players to gain important experience by the end of the 3rd quarter. Playing top tier OOC teams doesn’t make much sense in the playoff era. Keeping starters sharp while being able to rest them during a playoff campaign makes much more sense. With the number of games being played increasing, budget your travel money. It could easily cost $25k to $35k per person to go to a conference championship, and all playoff games. More, if you want premium seats. -
Oh My! Oregon WBB: It Couldn’t Get Any Worse?
Drake replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
He had a championship caliber team and COVID definitely took away an opportunity to win it. That seems to have broken his desire and ambition needed to stay competitive at that level. Personally, I don’t follow WBB. However, it is obvious that an honest assessment of the program’s head coach is needed. -
The Oregon Fight song is great. Although, I have noticed fewer fans stand up for the song at the football games. Perhaps our alumni are standing in line trying to get a beer. I always thought it would be cool if Nike would embrace the marching band. Create some different Uniform combos with band members wearing retro Air Jordans…lol

The silly article time of year. My opinion about college football writers…their opinion only matters when they give your team accolades, or actually research an article, and actually write something that adds perspective into their subject matter.

Every time a new assistant gets hired the average age of our coaching staff drops. I am not familiar with the young man, but I am thinking the recruiting part sounds good. The younger coaches work hard to make a name for themselves. Locklyn may be a loss, but there are several highly qualified coaches that would love to have Oregon listed on the coaching resume. Btw…don’t let the door hit you in the (_) (_) on the way to buckeye land.

Is Oregon State Becoming Like a Bygone Beer?
Drake replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Just watched a news report about $30 million being stolen. Perhaps the rodents AD should be on the list of suspects.
