Pennsylvania Duck

Saw this on one of the Duck sites and found it to be a good read. Good analogy for success in football and life. Click to read full article. The author put the whole thing on his Twitter.

Wow! All this makes my head spin. I think I will go get a hoagie and relax.

“What makes coach Lanning so elite is that he lets his coaches coach," Love said. Makes me happy seeing one of our coaches say this!!!

ACC-Pac 12 alliance should equate to a Clemson exit WWW.MSN.COM Two years ago, the Atlantic Coast Conference had Notre Dame right where they wanted them, and they did not close the deal... Interesting read. Clemson is in situation they don't like either and it seems the ACC leadership was rather weak too. Sounds familiar.

WOW! Love seeing the ranking by strength of schedule.

Excellent article. It is rather long, but gives good detail about each part of the upcoming Duck offense and defense. It sure makes you see how our past coach didn't coach players or games to potential. Sad to see that potential wasted. So happy Lanning is here and best of all, the team appears more cohesive. GO DUCKS!!!!!!

According to this article, SEC looks at realignment from a geographical angle. It would be hard for Ducks to be involved under this scenario. More Conference Realignment? For SEC Football, It's Not Complicated WWW.MSN.COM Given the history of the SEC, expansion must be done properly if it's to be done at all.

That is what I was thinking. I had a tendency to think the ACC was so far away that it's just not possible. Some of these options could be workable and more attractive than others I've read. I have accepted the fact that big change is inevitable.

Interesting article with LOTS of different options. Goes into much more detail than other articles I have seen. More for you to ponder....... What a Merger of the Pac-12 and ACC Might Look Like WWW.MSN.COM Several format options exist for a bicoastal conference that might save Cal and the remaining Pac-12 teams

Aren't we still over the player limit? If there is a spot open and a need, then ok. However, I would hate to see someone having to leave to give this guy a roster spot. School loyalty is a good thing.

idontrollonshobbas - What an excellent analogy! I remember discussions on Chesterton's Fence years ago. Many of the problems we face in life occur when we intervene with systems without an awareness of what the consequences could be. This sure fits our current situation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLES! You're a Superstar! Many thanks for all you do. Love this site!

It's hard to keep interest in both Duck baseball and softball teams with so many good players going into the portal! Part of the fun is watching young players grow and become good at their craft. Now you spend time developing them and they leave. It is very hard on the fans.

Axel, you are the best. How delightful to start the day with your incredible writings!

Change is inevitable, but I sure don't like this cat'astrophy USC/UCLA have put us in! So many traditions down the drain. None of the alternatives seem exciting at the moment. So sad.

SoGaDawg - You are so right! So many good PAC-12 games start at 10:00PM east coast time. I start watching and fall asleep sometime before the games ends. It's no fun having to go online to see who won the day after! The PAC missing out on a large audience hurts not only viewership, but $ value as well.

I felt so bad for him when he was injured and I think it was in practice for a post season game his senior year. Don't quite remember the details. That injury kept him from an NFL career. With his skills and attitude, I think he would've had a solid NFL career.

You won't find troll posters on this site because they are banned. That is why I enjoy it so much. Charles and his band of moderators work hard to keep the site clean. It is so refreshing to have discussions without name calling, foul language, etc. BTW, it is great to read viewpoints from GA Dawgs!

At the end, the announcers said, "It will be must see tv when Devon Allen runs against Grant Holloway (WR holder) and Trey Cunningham (NCAA champ) in Eugene." Perhaps a new WR?

DI Council lifts football signing, initial counter limits for two years - NCAA.org WWW.NCAA.ORG Division I football teams will not have annual signing and initial counter limits for the next two academic years, the Division I...

Aren't the Ducks more interested in Dante Moore? I thought he was generating more interest lately from our coaches.

For a "Preview", this article lacks depth and details. Not very interesting/informational read from this writer.

ICamel - Thanks for your terrific game write-ups and analysis this season. I enjoyed reading them and appreciate your time and effort. Hopefully our Diamond Ducks will have better results next year.
