Kenjon Barner: 300 Yards 5 TDs vs USC
EastBayDuckDad replied to Smith72's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I watched that game in an Irish sports bar in Jerusalem with a small group of fellow pilgrims from Eugene. Started at 1am local time and they had to kick us out at 4am, just as the 4th qtr was starting. Missed all but the last few minutes of the 4th when we got back to the hotel and wifi, but what a great ending and game it was. Against USC. Be still my beating heart. A copy of it has never left my DVR. KB was such a joy to watch. Great competitor and person, to boot. Patiently waited his turn behind LaMike. He has had a better pro career and three Super Bowl rings as well. Thanks for posting that, Smith72 -
"The Most Incredible Ending to a Football Game!"
EastBayDuckDad replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. Add to that the subsequent 2012 Greastest Show on Turf scorefest at the LA Coloseum against USC where Kenyon Barner rushed for 320+ yards and the 2015 Rose Bowl and inaugural CFP semi where Oregon throttled FSU, complete with a Famous Jameis crab leg fumble and TD return. images.mp4 -
PP has become an integral piece off the bench for the Celtics. Makes plays away from the ball and sets up his teammates. That stolen offensive rebound with the laser dish to Smart in the corner for the follow up trey was a hustling thing of beauty. His defense alters shots of bigger players. Fearless on the three point line and beyond. If Boston plays the rest of the way thru the Eastern semis like they did last night, we'll get to see Prichard match up with Curry in the Finals. Not bad for a second year in the NBA.

PP yelling "That's what I do!" after the dagger trey to help seal game and series over the Bucks. Just like his love message to the UW crowd a couple years back...

He did most of his damage in the 4th quarter, when the game was not quite out of reach for the Bucks. He certainly helped put the dagger in, Getting his 3 point mojo back

Ducks are Always Best. But Who are Pac-12's Worst?

I understand that Shaw is going back to a run heavy offense where both guards pull in the opposite direction but negate each other in a burst of quantum entanglement. -

Recruiting Whiffs: Texas Embarrassed by NFL Draft

ASU DL Transfer has Oregon Scheduled for Final Visit

I spent 5 years in Tucson. Don't need to say what the opinion about Phoenix was there. But like Beelzebub once said after a long weekend in Glendale, "yeah, but it's a dry heat" -

Brooks Suspended for One Game for Flagrant 2 Foul
EastBayDuckDad replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Looked at the replay several times and it was definately a F-2 foul, but the real damage was done not by the head smack but by Payton getting his legs caught up in Brooks' legs and him falling sideways with his left arm extended. I think it was a very hard foul that warranted the F-2 and ejection because of the head contact but it looks to me that the fall resulting in the injury was not intentional and maybe shouldn't warrant an extended suspension. -
Gotta respect KT shooting straight on this. Explains the sound of a deflating balloon coming from both Utah games and finally the Alamo Bowl. Amazing the rebuild that Lanning has done thus far.

Probable Men's Hoops Transfer?
EastBayDuckDad replied to EastBayDuckDad's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Agreed that his numbers don't pop out at you but DA and his new assistant coach must see something there. The article remarked on his improved output late in the year. He is a bigger guard at 6'4" 211# and on tape is pretty physical without getting into foul trouble very often. And comparing a guard's FG% to overall team % is a bit apples to oranges as post players will bring the overall number up above that when compared only to the backcourt. -
I know this is only a prediction, but it seems to have some gravitas to it. Would be a good get for DA to fill in the last needed piece in the backcourt. Prediction: South Carolina's leading scorer Jermaine Couisnard to choose Oregon Ducks - Scorebook Live NEWS.SCOREBOOKLIVE.COM South Carolina junior Jermaine Couisnard is nearing a decision.

BREAKING: Ducks Land Nebraska Transfer--DL Casey Rogers

Scott Frost once said you just can't recruit to Eugene. So that narrative appears to have flipped. Seems like you just can't keep them in Nebraska either. -
Oregon’s Explosive Offense Has Officially Returned
EastBayDuckDad replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
How many long, slow, run-oriented pistol whipped drives have we seen suffer an ignominious demise in or close to the red zone because of penalties over the last couple of years? I agree that while an occasional pick will hurt us and some are in essence long punts, a more explosion oriented offense will on balance win more games and save us from death by a thousand false starts. -
Oregon’s Explosive Offense Has Officially Returned
EastBayDuckDad replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Not not only the run game will benefit. With long fast WRs stretching the field on the deep threat, the safeties have to stay back to support the undersized CBs over the top. The middle zones are then open for the TEs who can usually exploit the LBs. Finally the Ducks will use the TEs as a passing threat and not just as blockers for the run game. I think I saw only one or two really effective pass plays to our TEs last year. More plays like the one against OSU where Matavao was wide open for a TD, please. -
Troy Dye's Brother got Married Over the Weekend
EastBayDuckDad replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Et tu, Axel? I saw on another thread that you had an insightful opinion on honesty in journalism, and two degrees in the same discipline. As a devoted fan of the late, great PJ O'Rourke, might one of them have been a major in humor with a minor in hilarious satirical snark? -
Draft was Bad for Pac-12, But Ducks Looking Good for the Future
EastBayDuckDad replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
As glad as most of us ultimately were with the coaching change, don't lose sight of the fact that the 2019-20 Rose Bowl winning Ducks have 15 starters from that team on active NFL rosters. Not counting 2022, five were UDFAs: Faoliu, Kampmoyer, Scott, Juwan Johnson and Throckmorton. Not saying they will all be on rosters in September, but they are there now. Four of the starting five O-line are on teams: Sewell, Throckmorton, Lemieux and Hansen. All coached by MC and Mini-M. So they did something right even if they couldn't offensive game coach their way out of a paper bag. I guess my point is to not lament too much the dismal 2022 draft showing. No doubt several of the players that went undrafted and have signed UDFA contracts got crappy advice and declared a year too early. Some like VMIII and Wright will likely succeed as they were legit draft targets. But the article posted by 30Duck shows the silver lining in the cloudy 2022 draft results for the Ducks. Oregon is a national destination for blue chip recruits and Lanning will burnish that credential with the staff he has brought in and their history of building champions. -

Cool with that. Wish him well, unless of course we meet the University of Soiled Charmins in the Pac12 championship game. Then I want him to be the meat in a Sewell-Flowe sandwich. -

USC Adds Own Version of Division Street

Can't miss concept with Matt "Pro Bowl/Hall-o-Fame" Leinart taking point. The Hall of GOATS (Get Over yourselves, Arrogant Trojans) will certainly be marketing a unique set of NFTs (Nether-region Fungal Tokens) jointly with the USC-OJ Simpson Institute of Conflict Resolution and the Reggie Bush Center for Ethics in Athletics.
