All due respect to MaiTai, I agree with Skopil on the postion groups at this stage after spring practices. And his take on KT was just reinforced by the NY Giants taking him at #5. 247 nationally may be SEC biased, but Eric Skopil is a local kid from a long time Eugene family, is pretty respected overall and I enjoy reading his stuff.

Unblockable: DJ Johnson Spring Game Highlights!
EastBayDuckDad replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Looking at the Pac12 network game film and the edited clips, Rossi (RFr) got beat but so did Bass and Jones, established OL players. I think DJ blew up Ferguson once as well. Lanning noted that DJ could be one of the premier edge players in the country for a reason. -
Sorry to see him go as, although he wasn't the most dependable shooter, I thought he would play a significant role this year. Altman has a another big rebuild ahead. Hopefully we get another PG/SG to step up or come in via the portal.

More Upsides to NIL, a Win-Win-Win Situation
EastBayDuckDad replied to Steven A's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Good article but having Ridder state that he was able to not worry about money, have a child AND buy a Range Rover and Bose headphones for teammates makes me think that NIL money should come with some financial advising.- 1 reply

WaPo among others, slobbering all over themselves about the SC spring game. Might as well get used to it. Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams star at a surreal USC spring game - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM At USC's spring game, minds long addled with college football might struggle to remember where all of the players and coaches used to be.

Where Does the Future Lie at QB For Oregon?
EastBayDuckDad replied to Gusduck71's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thompson certainly looks the part of the D1 P5 QB and has a cannon for an arm. As much as he has a ton of raw talent he seems to have a tough time reading coverages and then getting an accurate throw to the checkdown receivers. Butterfield is like the old Avis ads, he knows he's perceived as #2 so he tries harder. Both those guys are competitive and it seems they will stay till the fall to battle it out. If I had to predict: Nix is the clear #1 leaving the spring game. Butterfield will be the #2. Thompson will transfer at some point. Oregon will work to add a good 2023 QB like Jaden Rashada. -
DJ Johnson Could be Big Time Player for Oregon
EastBayDuckDad replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
After being listed out of HS at 6'4" 240# to as big as 6'5" 273# last year, DJ looked stronger and leaner on Saturday, maybe 260# with a KT level first step and quickness we didn't see the last two seasons. Good reason why Lanning and Tupoi are so high on him, he was just flat out dominant. -

Critical Analysis: Oregon Spring Game Hits and Misses

Those "students" wanted to be at the campus riot earlier in the day but overslept and came to Autzen instead. Some proud parents there. -
Critical Analysis: Oregon Spring Game Hits and Misses
EastBayDuckDad replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I agree with just about everything noted here. Seven (DAT clone), DJ (KT2) and Chase (the second Mailman cometh) were my standout players short of Noah and Taki's expected dominant play. Hard to watch both Nix and Thompson commit the cardinal sin of throwing behind crossing route receivers with the grim and anticipated outcome of a pick. Much to like, though and I'm sure the coaching staff will have plenty to work on. I think it is a smart idea to not have the spring game be the last practice before the break as I bet there will he be a lot of breakdown of the game film and teaching this week. -
Awesome day at Autzen. Future so bright you gotta wear shades. 20220423_125029.mp4

Opening Line for Ducks Opener: Georgia -15
EastBayDuckDad replied to Log Haulin's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Just for comparison, the Oregon @ Ohio State line was as high as -14.5 with an O/U of 64. Someone expected a score around 41-24. We know how that turned out. Without KT and Flowe. Could be a lot closer that the odds makers think. -
Diamond Ducks vs. Washington State, Fri./Sat./Sun.
EastBayDuckDad replied to ICamel's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
They grow and make some good wine close to Pullman. Since the official activity in eastern Washington from September to April is drinking (May to August as well), not much of it escapes that area though. -
Diamond Ducks vs. Washington State, Fri./Sat./Sun.
EastBayDuckDad replied to ICamel's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Be there on Saturday, baby. A short stroll across the parking lot from Autzen to PK after the Spring Game. My brother is coming up from the Lassen area (he was a walk-on pitcher for San Diego State back in the 70's when we was young) joining my son and me behind the visitors on deck circle along the 3rd base side with cold microbrews in our hands and fire in our hearts. Yhere are tickets left for the game from what I gather. C'mon out, man! Go Ducks -

As much as I would love to see PP get more minutes and even start for a team, the Celtics have a winning formula right now with Payton off the bench for clutch minutes. He seems to have embraced that role for now. I would love to see him get a ring for his efforts.

Pitcher Tackles Batter Who Homered Off Him

We should all follow that sterling example Woody Hayes set for us in that OSU-Clemson game oh so many years ago. On this date: OSU coach Hayes throws infamous punch - ESPN Video WWW.ESPN.COM On Dec. 29, 1978, Ohio State coach Woody Hayes didn't take kindly to his team being taunted and lashed out by punching a Clemson player. -
At least as far as civil lawsuits go, and unless you are pretty damn positive you are in the right, a bad settlement is nearly always better than a bad jury award. To those of us not in the legal profession the finality of a settlement, even a painful one, is usually preferable to the uncertainty, expense and angst of a lost jury trial and subsequent appeal and possible crapshoot retrial. I suspect that the UO will settle their part of it unless joint settlement of all defendents is required. Greatwood and the outgoing Helfrich staff was dissed by the incoming regime so no surprise there is no love lost. So far this is a bad look for all involved on the defense side and gives us yet another reason to say good riddance to Taggart and the malignant trail he left in his wake. The one ray of sunshine is the bad Karma that caught up to him at FSU.

BYU and Oregon Fan Here--I Come in Peace!
EastBayDuckDad replied to BYUTexan's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Axel, my man, you are just too much! -
Important to distinguish the types of pancreatic cancer. Most common by far is adenocarcinoma and that is a pretty dismal disease that tends to strike older people. Even caught early and aggressively treated with surgery, survival rates aren't very good. Redd had a neuroendocrine tumor that is less common and hits a younger age group. At 2.5cm and if the cancerous part was limited to the center of the mass, his odds of cure are very high in spite of the involved surgery he would have had to remove it. All the best for him as he was a huge fan favorite and a really gutsy kid for the Ducks.

Los Angeles Rams Coach Sean McVay Closes on $14 Million ‘Contemporary Farmhouse’ API.CXENSE.COM The Hidden Hills mansion was designed by Jae Omar and first listed for $15.5 million So Riley gets a nicer $17.5M LA crib than the Super Bowl winning coach? Sets a pretty high bar for expectations from the USC fan base, I'll bet. Lot's of pressure to live up to them, and fast.

Men's Basketball Acquires Colorado Starting Guard
EastBayDuckDad replied to Haywarduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Not a bad move considering how he lit Oregon up during that home loss to Colorado last season. He appears to be comfortable at MKA. Could fill some of the minutes Jacob Young had.
