  3. I just received the email announcing that due to weather...tonight's Thursday night game versus OSU is moved to Sunday at 12:05 PM! Oregon looks to extend winning streak as they host rival Oregon State for three-game series Whatever you want to call it, the rivalry between Oregon and Oregon State travels across all sports. This weekend, No. 25 Oregon (19-7, 6-3) hosts Oregon State (18-10, 5-7) for a three-game series, starting Thursday at 7 PM. Oregon State enters this matchup with a below .500 conference record but hopes to end the Ducks' 10-game winning streak. Oregon State comes off a series victory over another Oregon rival, Washington, taking two of three against the Huskies on the road. The 2023 Oregon State Beavers may not be off to the start many expected but they still possess talent up and down their lineup and rotation.

  4. Hi Jon. Thank you for posting this article. NJDuck and I were going to post this, but you beat us to it. I take a different view than you on this article. Yes, it is an article from Dennis Dodd, but I hope that isn't the reason for people not reading it. The source used in this article is Jim Williams, President of Media Strategies and Solutions in Los Angeles and not from an east coast company. The opinions expressed by Mr. Williams is the story of this article and I find them to be credible. Actually, what Williams expressed is much like what I have read/heard recently from many others in the industry. In my opinion, readers on OBDF should be offered viewpoints from various sources, whether we agree with them or not. It's what is necessary for an informed decision making process. Everyone has opinions on writers as I have also read where some refer to Canzano and Wilner as PAC-12 "homers." Getting back to the article, I find it hard to disagree with the following... Williams, however, decided to go on the record with comments being repeated throughout the sports media industry: The Pac-12 may be running out of time in getting most of its content seen on a major linear carrier. "I'm at an absolute loss how NBC, CBS, ESPN, ABC or Fox gets [the Pac-12] to 50 [percent] linear," said Williams, a Washington D.C.-based, seven-time Emmy Award-winning producer who helped develop five different regional sports networks throughout a career that began in 1977. The interesting part of the article was towards the end where Williams did offer a possible solution... Short of a major linear carrier, Williams sees value in both ION and the CW networks. ION, owned by Scripps Co., is a general entertainment network that is in 37 of the top 50 markets, and was mentioned early in the process by Action Network as having conversations with the Pac-12. The CW is majority owned by Nexstar Media Group. The group of stations reportedly reaches 100% of U.S. television markets, providing 14 hours of primetime programming per week. Its most notable sports property currently is LIV Golf. "They could get there with ION or get there with CW," Williams said of the Pac-12. "Personally, if I were talking to one of these presidents, I would have zero problem with CW. They've got legacy television stations all over the country." FWIW, these are just my opinions.
  5. Oregon Picks up New Prediction to Land 2024 Quarterback The Ducks are looking for their quarterback in the 2024 class and may be picking up steam with one of their recent offers. Schools across the country are landing their quarterbacks of the future. For Oregon and Will Stein, there's no shortage of passers they're pursuing, but they may be pulling ahead for one arm out west. On Tuesday, ScoopDuck's Justin Hopkins logged a prediction for Oregon to land 2024 Phoenix (Ariz.) Sunnyslope quarterback Luke Moga. Moga stands at 6'2" and weighs 190 pounds. He landed an offer from the Ducks in January following a trip to Eugene and has been scorching on the recruiting trail of late, hauling in offers from Michigan State, Utah, Miami and TCU among his 25 total offers.

  6. Four-Star WR Aaron Butler Previews Oregon Visit Aaron Butler is one of the top uncommitted wide receivers in the country and has serious interest in the Ducks. Oregon's wide receiver recruiting is already off to a hot start in 2024 with verbal commitments from Jordan Anderson and Tyseer Denmark. ut Junior Adams still has his sights set on some elite talent. 2024 Calabasas (Calif.) wide receiver Aaron Butler has Oregon in his top five schools along with Colorado, Alabama, Georgia and Washington. He'll head to Eugene on Thursday and stay there through the weekend. Before he heads North he previewed the trip with Ducks Digest. Read about Aaron Butler's upcoming trip to Oregon in Ducks Digest.
  7. Thanks for posting this, Annie. Great story to read.
  8. Dan Lanning feels walk-on QB Matt Rush can help out Ducks in many ways Walk-on quarterbacks are normally little more than an afterthought in college football. Only if there’s a dire situation going on do they ever end up seeing the field. In a more likely scenario, they play the role of the opposing quarterback for that week in practice to help prepare the defense for what is waiting for them on Saturday. For new quarterback Matt Rush, though, there is some experience that he brings to the table. While his role hasn’t quite been defined yet, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning says that Rush will be an asset for the Ducks in 2023.

  13. Endyia Rogers has withdrawn from the WNBA draft, but whether the all-Pac-12 guard is returning to Oregon is still to be determined. Rogers, who entered the draft last week following Oregon’s loss to Washington in the WNIT quarterfinals, announced in a video on TikTok that she’s withdrawn from the draft and will use her final season of college eligibility. “I just withdrew my name and so that means that I’m coming back to school,” Rogers said. “But there are decisions still to be made with that.

  14. Oregon bill addressing bad behavior of college sports fans headed back to House floor The bill that would implement “equity-focused policies” addressing the behavior of college sports fans attending games at Oregon’s public universities by creating a formal complaint process and reporting system for instances of bad behavior and require schools to conduct an annual survey of students and athletes and annual report to the state Legislature is headed back to the House floor. The rewritten bill would require public universities to maintain a “transparent complaint process” with a reporting system for participants or the public to submit complaints about the behavior of students, coaches or spectators. Schools would have to respond to those complaints within two business days and attempt to resolve them within 30 days and develop and implement a “system of sanctions against students, coaches and spectators” if a complaint is verified.
