GREAT NEWS! Oregon Ducks On BIG+ Streaming Network: How To Watch, Free Code
I pay $14/month for IPTV. You just need an app that can support the channel list that your streaming service provides you. For example, I use Real Streams. They sent me my login information and instructions for which apps support their content. I just put it into the IPTV Smarters Pro app which is available on the Google Play Store. It’s very easy to use.

GREAT NEWS! Oregon Ducks On BIG+ Streaming Network: How To Watch, Free Code
I use IPTV, so I get every sports channel and every game known to the human race. I even get Beavis and Coug games if I’m down for a little nostalgia.

Josiah Sharma Flips to Texas
I expect this to happen many more times. Word on the street is Brame will flip to Tennessee as well. It’s all part of the game we call “recruiting”. Good thing DL has been very successful in the transfer portal. 4-star DL Josiah Sharma flips his commitment from Oregon Ducks DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks saw 4-star defensive lineman Josiah Sharma flip his commitment on Thursday night.

ESPN Top 25 College Football Stadiums
I’ve only been to three of these stadiums (LSU, Autzen, App State), but I think they got most of them right. I don’t necessarily agree with the rank order, but these stadiums stand out for one reason or another whether it be noise, beauty, tradition, etc. BTW, Autzen was by far the best atmosphere. I went to LSU during the Curly Hallman era. It was loud until Danny Wuerffel and the Gators ran up 58 straight points on them. It’s still a beautiful venue with great tailgating and a tiger enclosure outside the gates. App State is absolutely beautiful with regard to its surroundings, but the crowd is pretty dull unless they’re playing Marshall or Coastal. The home side of their stadium gets shade in the afternoon which might be great in early September. However, I was there on a clear November day when it was in the 20’s. That shade ran off most of their home fans by the 2nd half as it was in the single digits on their side of the stadium. On a side note, I think that Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC should’ve been on this list. They’re not a great team, but their stadium is always packed and rowdy no matter their record. I also love Sandstorm, the white towels, their Odyssey 2001 entrance and rooster crow on 3rd downs. It’s definitely an atmosphere worth experiencing.

Generation - O "Gang Green" Uniform
I have to admit that I thought the front profile pictures made them look a little Baylorish at first glance. However, Baylor has more of a forest green color and their yellow is kind of dull. In fact, their entire color scheme is kind of dull like North Dakota St.

ESPN Top 100 Pro Athletes of the 21st Century
I saw this today and thought how hard it must have been to rank the top 100 pro athletes since the year 2000. After reading through the list a few things came to mind. 1. There were too many race car drivers. Sorry, but they’re not athletes. My MIL still drives fast and she’s 90. 2. There were not enough MMA fighters. In fact, the female fighters were totally left off. Amanda Nuñez and Rhonda Rousey carried many a PPV event by themselves because of their skill. 3. How in the world do you leave off Ashton Eaton? Only three people in history have been deemed “World’s Greatest Athlete” in two straight Olympic Games and he’s the only one to do it in the last 40 years. Anyway, these are my personal opinions. I would be interested in seeing all of your opinions on this list. Ranking the top 100 professional athletes since 2000 - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Who tops our list of the top athletes since 2000? We're unveiling the top 25, including our voters' pick for the No. 1 spot.

Cam Newton Ranks Dak Prescott Over Justin Herbert
Cam Newton was comparing stats from each QB’s first 4 years. Dak had slightly more impressive stats than Herbert, but he was also rewarded with a record contract at that time because the Cowboys felt he had a bright future in Dallas. Now, the Chargers feel Herbert has a bright future in LA, so they gave him a record contract. Both are good QB’s, but Herbert is younger. Dallas won’t pay Dak what Herbert got paid because he’s older and has had a serious lower leg injury that still affects his mobility. I will even go as far to say if Dak doesn’t at least make it to the NFC Championship game Jerry will let him walk and he’ll get snatched up by NYG or the Saints. I don’t have a problem with what Cam said because he favors the veteran with a few more years under him. However, he’s not an owner or a GM who has to secure his team’s future while he can.

Which Big Ten Team Has Most Annoying Fan Base? Oregon Ducks? Ohio State Buckeyes?
They love it when you bring that up. It’s a great way to start off a conversation with an Aggie.

We've Officially Left the PAC12
The PAC 12 website has removed everything but Beavis and Coug stuff. It’s somewhat pathetic and sad.

Which Big Ten Team Has Most Annoying Fan Base? Oregon Ducks? Ohio State Buckeyes?
I was surprised to not see these guys near the top of the list. I’m pretty sure that “annoying” is what the A stands for in Texas A&M.

Generation O: Fly Era Reveal
There are four more uniforms getting revealed. My guess is white, yellow, kelly green and forest green.

Generation O: Fly Era Reveal
I read in earlier articles about the Generation O uniforms that they purposely wanted to pay homage to past uniforms. It has something to do with the 25th anniversary of the O. Hopefully they have other designs cooked up that will include the “Belotti Bold” font.

Generation O: Fly Era Reveal
I like the combination of new and old in the shoulder design. The Jump Man color scheme is cool as well. We haven’t seen that since the UCLA game in 2018. I also took the time to pause the video and examine the intricacies of the design. These uniforms are well made as expected.

Pritchard's Monster 3 Last Night
The NBA is pretty lax with their traveling rules. Pritchard must’ve quit drinking because he took 12 steps.

Readers! OBD Members! Join Our FishDuck Group to a Penn State WHITEOUT
I was planning on going anyway, so this will be much better. It’s an 8 hour drive for me. The hotels in State College will be pretty spendy if this year’s UW game is any indication. They will likely be around $400-$600 per night. I will likely stay somewhere that is a couple of hours away. Maybe Bedford or Hagerstown since I’ll be driving in from the south.

Delta Adding Flights to Help Buckeye Fans Come to Autzen
Nebraska and Tennessee flooded our student section the last time they visited. Both school filled a quarter to a third of Autzen’s capacity. Luckily, both games were out of hand by halftime. However, Slick Willie decided to let Nebraska back in the game. Anyway, here’s to hoping our students decrease the number of Nuts fans at Autzen.

Yeah, it was pretty SEC heavy. I also feel like App State got more representation. They do have a beautiful stadium, though.

Is There Really a Miami Swagger, or is it Propagated by the Sports Media Who Do Not Know Much?
The old Miami swagger that was portrayed in the ESPN 30 for 30 series is long gone. I read Jimmy Johnson’s book entitled Swagger recently and he was the one who started it. His philosophy was to let the players be themselves so long as they didn’t get penalized for their actions. They rarely did. Miami was one of the least penalized teams back when they were winning championships. However, NCAA rules and coaching changes killed their swagger. It was brought back for a short time with the hiring of Butch Davis, but Larry Coker killed it within 2 years. He had a little help from Nevin Shapiro who sunk the program with his improper gifts. They haven’t been the same since Butch Davis left. He built the 2001 championship team despite not coaching them that season. He was the last coach with a direct connection to Jimmy Johnson.
