LOOK: Eggshell Uniforms for Washington Game
I like the helmets, but I can't get behind the unis. But if the players like them, I'm good with that. As long as they get the W, who cares what they wears?!!!

Dan Lanning UNFILTERED:
What a great guy. Any kid should feel lucky to play for him. Gotta love the old sclassic Nike Leather Cortez sneakers!

Happy 4th of July! Time to Take in Some Green and Yellow Fireworks
Thanks for putting together those fun clips. Pretty much the entire Chip Kelly era was one big fireworks show. Aside from "The Pick", the Winston fumble may be my favorite play in UO Football history. Thanks for the laugh!

Stunning Comeback! Ducks Were Down 8-0, Wins in Walk-off 9-8!
I'm not a huge baseball fan, but that was a super fun, great game to watch. (Well, except maybe that one inning!)

Oregon Secures Commitment from Former Austin Peay P Matt Rigney
+1 for Josh Bidwell! Great punter and a great guy. MVP of a few close games at Autzen IMHO.

Men's Basketball: 1/5/23 Ducks @ Colorado (Ducks LOSE 68-41)
Damn, the Ducks couldn't throw the ball into the ocean from the end of the jetty in the first half! Good to see Bittle and Cousinard back tho.

People are Pretty Selfish: Should I Continue the OBD Forum?
I really appreciate this forum. It is a wealth of information about OBD and I am so fortunate to have found it. I hope it continues to be available to us all. Thanks Charles and all the other helpers for making it what it is. I have never felt the rules were too restrictive. Just an example of the common courtesy we should all expect in a civil conversation.

PAC 12 TITLE GAME
Congrats Utes! Fun watching USuC crumble! After all the BS targeting penalties called against OBD, if that hit on Rising wasn't targeting, then it doesn't exist.

Men's Basketball: 12/1/22 WSU @ Ducks...Ducks WIN Pac-12 Opener!
This team looks like it has tons of potential if they can get healthy. Richardson has been very impressive, displaying leadership I wasn't convinced he had in him. Last night he showed some amazing ball handling skills and had a couple of beautiful ankle breaking crossovers on his way to layups. I expect Ware is going to become a force to be reckoned with as the season rolls on. Maybe he could bulk up a bit, he seems to get pushed around under the rim. If Dante can stay healthy he looks nearly unstoppable. Guerrier and Soares are both giving solid contributions, and Rigsby looks to be a hard worker, great hustler and defender. When he finds his shot... look out! The only weakness I see, aside from lack of depth due to injury, is spotty 3 point shooting. Hopefully that will improve. This group is pretty fun to watch. Can't wait for UCLA. Go Ducks!

Did YOU Like Our Uniforms vs Stanford?
The first thing I said when I saw them was "Those unis aren't great." I think more green on the pants and \ or green socks would have looked better. Maybe that's why there was so much "wolfing" (woofing?) because the Cardinal players were making fun of them? Just speculatin'. But I approve of the final outcome!

What if the Pac-12 Went ALL-Streaming? Could You Live With It?
I'd be disappointed, as I try to avoid amazon like the plague. It turns my stomach to think of giving bezos any of my money. But unfortunately, sometimes its the only way.

Hustle
The wife and I watched Hustle last night. Not bad, but not great and pretty predictable. I'm not a big fan of Sandler, but I enjoyed seeing Peyton Pritchard in a couple of brief scenes at the end. I thought it fitting he would show up in a movie named Hustle!

Time to Bump Black Uniforms and Stick to Official Oregon Colors?
I prefer predominantly green and yellow. Black and white both look great trimmed with green and/or yellow. Personally, I thought the grey and "eggshell" unis were horrid.

Oregon’s QB1: Who Gets The Nod Week 1?
One thing we didn't get to see in the spring game was scrambling ability on broken plays. Given Thompson's size, that is something I'm curious about. He looks more stout than Butterfield. Butterfield looked like the better passer for sure. I expect the threat of a QB running the ball will be part of Dillingham's offense. Could that give Thompson an edge?

Does Oregon Have a New 'Saban' in Dan Lanning?
Knowing is a dead end trap. When a person "knows" what they're doing, that is where they stop learning. "He who says he knows, doesn't. He who admits he doesn't know, knows." - Buddha (At least I think it was Buddha, I wish I knew!)

Coach Boles: What to Watch for on Offense in Spring Football
Great article, lots to look forward to. Can't wait for September! Thanks Coach Boles and Charles.

DAT v Devon: Who Runs a Faster 40?
Man, thanks so much for that highlite film. DAT was so fun to watch. The head and shoulder fakes, and the bursts of un-catchable speed were just beautiful. Notice all the great down field blocking (and his ability to take advantage of them) as well, making a lot of those runs possible. What fun times those were to be a Duck fan!

Justin Herbert Still Amazes Analysts...
I have a lot more respect for Peyton Manning's opinion of a quarterback than I do that of Aaron Fentress. Just sayin'.

Canzano on Altman: "The Trust Factor Wasn't There"
I am also glad to have Dana Altman as our HC. I think Jacob Young might have been a choice as better team leader this year. Will Richardson kind of wilted (no pun intended) under that pressure. A great kid with tons of skill, but just not assertive enough to thrive in that role. I'm encouraged about next season with the recruits coming in.

Bill Walton: Where do YOU Stand?
I enjoy Bill's color commentating, but he can be a bit of an annoying distraction from the game at times. I love his passion and upbeat positive attitude towards life. I almost always learn something new from him, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as a fellow human being.

Lanning: "I Want to Experience Eugene"
Wait 'till he gets into a redside on the McKenzie. He'll be hooked! I'd suggest taking his boys down to Diamond Lake to catch some of those silver, football-shaped trout that swim around in there.

Very Interesting Take on Quarterback Development
Brett Favre was a second round pick, only threw about a half dozen passes in high school, but he had "IT" and "IT" worked out pretty well for him. "Street ball" ability can make up for a lot of other shortcomings - see Stetson Bennet.

LMAO, That was priceless!
