Where Does the Future Lie at QB For Oregon?
Nope. 1. Nix 2. Butterfield 3. Thompson

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
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.

Opening Line for Ducks Opener: Georgia -15
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.
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.
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

Nice Bio and Article About Lanning

Payton Pritchard Progress
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

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.

Wowsa: Greatwood Testified on Behalf of Brenner and Against UO
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.

Jaylon Redd Wasn't at Oregon's Pro Day for a Good Reason...
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.

Should USC Football Fear Oregon?
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
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.

Another Lost to the Transfer Portal--DL Jonah Miller
With the ease of transferring now via the portal, I can't blame these kids for going that route when they find themselves low on the depth chart, playing a position of need instead of where they were recruited to play, or just plain ready for a change of scenery and atmosphere. Jackson Powers-Johnson and DJ Johnson have adapted well to the need to be versatile and it shows out in their play and how the coaches talk them up. It just may have not been the best fit for Jonah Miller. Best of luck to him going forward.

Former 5-Star Oregon Basketball Recruit in the Portal
Former top recruit Emoni Bates transferring from Memphis WWW.ON3.COM Former top recruit Emoni Bates will transfer out of Memphis after one season with the Tigers... Bates is transferring from Memphis after a disappointing, injury plagued freshman year. He committed to Michigan State originally but had Oregon in his final four before going to Memphis. He was the #1 recruit in 2022 before he reclassified to 2021 where he was still in the top 3. Still too young to enter the NBA draft though he could go to the D league. Would likely make more $$$ with NIL as a one and done. Not sure if Oregon has a remaining scholarship but could he be a target for Altman and the Ducks?

10 Minutes With OL Coach Adrian Klemm: 'We Are Getting Better Each Day'
Not to totally diss the previous O-line coach who helped put Sewell and a couple other guys in the NFL, but Klemm could bench press two Mirabals stacked together while eating a sandwich. He is guy that actually did it at the highest level and his players will listen and execute for him.

Don Essig will introduce you. You'll ride out on the back of the Harley with Puddles. We'll pass the basket around Autzen like a giant "Sunday go to meeting" thing and you get the take. And half of all the proceeds from the sale of Bellotti Burgers to boot. Sweet!

USC Stands for Unbelievably Self Centered
So Lanning knows these 5☆ transfers better than anyone given his D line faced them everyday in practice. If there is someone he would want to bring in, or keep away from USC, we'll know pretty soon if Oregon takes an interest in them. As an aside, I interpret Trojan "tears" as being synonymous with Universally Substandard Condoms.
