Holy Crap! Oregon's Unknown Defensive Backfield
You guys are 'almost' getting me to join twitter. But, naw, not yet. 😄

Signs Pointing to a Brandon Baker Oregon Verbal...
The appellation, Bruise Brothers has been used in a number of sports (wrestling, NBA, etc.) The original name was applied to the defensive line of the San Diego Chargers (my much loved hometown team), ca 1980. They were Fred Dean, Gary Johnson, Louie Kelcher, and Leroy Jones and were among the most dominant, fearsome lines in football. Perhaps we can find something original like the Crush Crew, Havoc Homies, Green Meanies (😁) or ... What can you come up with?

Men's Basketball Recruiting
Projections are like speculations which are like opinions which are like ... well, you know the thing. 😉 Everyone has one. I believe Kel'el Ware had similar projections last year. Proof is in the performance. Hoping for Evans to conquer the 'projection'.

Super-Regional Game Two: Ducks Lose 8-7, Game 3 Tomorrow at 3:00 PST
If this game is any more dramatic than game 1, I may have to have my defibrillator battery replaced. Indeed, these Ducks have turned me back into a baseball fan. GO DUCKS!

Yikes. Serious Stuff about Oral Roberts...
Yes. Ok. St. and Udumb were seen as big challenges for this small school. So, what happened? ORU went out and had 13 hits against Ok. St.'s decent pitching staff and had 24 hits (and FOUR homers) against our friends to the north. This Eagles team is likely going to be a big bite to chew for our boys.

Wilner Pac-12 News Recap: Washington on Peacock (and what it Means), NBA Draft Decisions, Legal Affairs
Scratching my head, with a little grin on my face, wondering what ever happened to the ADVERTISERS paying the freight on sporting events. It almost seems like they have gotten a message that still eludes conferences and their media partners. Ah ha. This economy is most certainly a down turning one. Somewhere in the bruhaha of this media circus-of-insecurity lies a reason ... more than that it is all tech or subscriber driven ... for a rush to streaming. "Save us, they screamed!" to Mother Streamer. I'm pretty certain there will be some winners ... but also big losers and collapses in this business in the not-too-distant future. Kinda like the U.S. debt, the cost of this business of collegiate sports broadcasting can only get so big before it will eventually face plant on itself.

Don’t Sleep On Oregon’s Secret Superstars
Great article. Thanks, Joshua. Great analogy, by way ... peanut butter and jelly. Haha ... I can hear the locker room now. "Great TD, Peanut (or Butter)!" "Awesome run, Jelly!" 😄 You may have created a monster, JW.

The Oregon Offense: Will Stein’s Fake Rollout Throwback Screen
The old db in me hated those enemy big dudes crashing down on me ... but the receiver in me loved my own big bruisers. There should be a federal OL Holiday. 😁 Thanks for another fine analysis, Coach B.

Oregon's First Pac-12 Championship/Tournament Championship in 60 YEARS is a BIG Step...
After watching all of the tournament games, I just might become a baseball fan again. Those were great, dramatic games that led to beautiful outcomes. Does anyone know what the four pitchers' injuries are? It seems like I recall that Stoffal has a blister on his throwing hand. 🤔 If so, he has a decent chance of returning for the NCAA's.

Federal Government Looking to Regulate NIL? Good!
Indeed, Klatt and his statements are head shaking and mind numbing. I agree with all you say mrspenney, but with one exception. Congress has a deep record of putting in controls that not only save nothing, but they also make matters worse. I suppose it's 'possible' that they save collegiate sports. Even a blind squirrel ..........

Is Bo Nix Worth a 1.5 Million NIL?
I expect that the NIL "salaries" will, just as with pro leagues, continue to competitively inflate until it's all beyond reason ... and ability of many schools to compete at all. And thus, it's back to my prediction last year, that the majority of colleges and universities will eventually only compete in 'club' sporting contests. These will be contests with no rewards other than maybe free ride scholarships for the players and bragging rights for the institutions. For these schools there will be no bowl games, no tv deals, no influx of media money. Think "D" League or minor league baseball, but without pay. Like the National Debt, it can't continue to inflate without serious consequences. And that's true of pro sports, as well. The billionaire's sporting industry house of cards will either be made sane with regard to fans' ability to support it, or it will collapse. And I don't trust any sanity being available here. I do trust in Charles' POV that we should at least have a couple of years to enjoy the PAC and our Ducks. But it also sounds like he may be thinking about shortening the 'joy' period ... just a little. 😉 Signed, Grumpy
