Good to know that he can be comfortable in both... I anticipate that eventually the defense will be so dialed in that they will be able to run both equally well as the need arises.

OUCH!!! Not good!

I'm looking forward to spring. I hope they plan it late because COVID is still very much in play. There will be players missing part of the spring because of protocols. Unfortunately, I do not share your optimism for full compliment of spring practices. I think we will get all the practices in but people will still be missing some. The good news is that Moorhead isn't starting from scratch. Most of the team will already know quite a bit of the offence, and so much more can be installed than what would have been installed with a full spring last year. Hopefully the new DC is a good teacher and all our talent can "get it" quickly. Turn the guys loose!! Equally, we collectively hope that MC turns his Coordinators loose!

Heading towards the end of the first quarter the Ducks still had only two points. He had to find someone who could shoot. Defense and rebounding won this game.

Tightening the rotation doesn't mean "sit 1/3 of the team the whole game". It means "more minutes for fewer people". Sabally was in early foul trouble and she sat a bunch. Parish was in foul trouble also for a while. After at least three games of a "tightened" rotation would be a better time to assess how tight it has become.

Great article! Are you reading this JTT????

There's nothing like getting good news to make one look forward to the fall.

Mullens is primarily a money guy... an accountant.... He should handle the money well. Move the offices out of San Francisco!!!!!

...but we do sincerely appreciate the effort....

This is key to their success. They are killing it on getting 4 stars (and a 5???) with 2+ years left to play out of the portal. As wide as the portal is becoming, the Beavers don't have to have more than a 10 member recruiting class. This is obviously a fluid situation over the next couple years until teams and players figure out how to use it.

Go Ducks!!!!!

One of my main takeaways from this hire is it will make recruitting of JTT types easier. He looks big on rushing the passer. That's what guys like Thibs want to do... over and over again. After Thibs has a great year next year, he will be gone. We need to keep a pipeline of good defensive linemen and edge rushers. Having a guy that wants to put a lot of pressure on the QB will do nothing but help in the recruiting of these guys, even if the DC himself is not the best recruiter out there. It is very possible that one of MC's selling points to TD is that he will learn how to become a better recruiter at Oregon.

Good news indeed!

First order of business: Find cheaper office space.

In Dana We Trust.

My point exactly. Exactly what do you get from breaking the rules?

Good explanation. Thanks.

That's why we have to have rules at FishDuck.

How long is THAT list? We need to realistic too.

That is such a cool picture of KT being tackled. How was a flag not thrown???????

"Extra" meaning "against NCAA rules"???? That's a statement no one can definitively say. Are all humans generally prone to being tempted to cheat?? Absolutely! Does it mean that everyone in football WILL cheat if he thinks he can avoid detection??? I'm not willing to go there. Just because everyone is tempted doesn't mean that you cannot trust anyone. About 40 years ago I read an article on morality on the university campus. The article started out with this line that I have never forgotten: At UCLA, students are taught that people are basically good, but they have electronic detectors in the library to keep people from stealing books; 30 miles away, at Biola University, students are taught that man is basically evil, but they have no electronic detectors in the library.

Well done, CD. Great analysis.

Indeed. I wish young talent would recognize this. A paycheck is hard to turn down.

And yet, did Tennessee get any value in return? Are they on top of the SEC? Are they out recruiting the rest?
