  1. I was a junior during Harter's first year at Oregon. They were pretty bad. Steve Belko left the cupboard pretty bare when he retired. Harter's first team finished in last place and only won about four games total. The next year they were much improved and it was apparent that Dick Harter could both coach and recruit. The legendary John Wooden coached at UCLA. Only the conference champion got to the NCAA tournament in those days.

     

    Ralph Miller, Bob Boyd, Marv Harshman, George Raveling and other great coaches patrolled the sidelines during his tenure. Several of his teams would have made the expanded tournament and would have probably enjoyed some success. I often wonder how his teams would have fared with the advent of the shot clock and three point shot given that style of play. He did coach some in the professional ranks so maybe he would have adapted. His teams always played great defense. Those are great memories of watching games in Mac Court.

  2. They are replacing the old side. The east side was remodeled a few years back. This should bring their stadium up to par with other Division one programs and was long overdue.

  3. Sorry for posting this above. You beat me by a couple of minutes. I would delete it if I could figure out how to do it. This potential hire looks like he would fit right in with the young group of assistant coaches that Lanning is putting together. I’m not sure how he ended up at New Mexico which is a coaching graveyard. Maybe he just needed a break and New Mexico is a beautiful state.

  4. Quarterback is a position where a successful team needs quality depth. I can remember years where Oregon ended up starting the third string quarterback because of injury. One year Brooks had to start a wide receiver at the position because    all the quarterbacks were hurt. That was ugly. Since we don’t have any freshmen coming in adding a player like Nix through the transfer portal only makes sense. Competition brings out the best in everyone. The cream will rise to the top.,

  5. The Ducks need to start fast Friday like they did against Ohio State and Oregon State. They need to make Utah play catch up and make them one dimensional. I don't think that they can play catch up as they don't have much of a vertical passing game. It will be tough if Oregon gets behind again like they did in Utah.
