It seems to me that Division Street is at the top of the NIL game. It’s really not surprising, under the circumstances I would be surprised if Division Street wasn’t one of the top NIL entities. First and foremost you have Phil Knight. Along with a number of folks that are former successful higher ups from Nike. If there is one thing everyone can agree about when discussing the Nike organization it’s that Nike is and has always been an absolute master at utilizing marketing to maximize brand awareness and profits. What student athlete wouldn’t be drawn to that kind of leadership and guidance? I’m still trying to get used to the new changes in CFB. I’m very glad that Oregon has been on top of things and is prospering in the new landscape of college football. Oregon has been a strong football program for awhile now, but that is changing. I firmly believe that this program is transitioning into a premier and true powerhouse program in CFB. I couldn’t be happier with the state of my two favorite teams in college football. My Dawgs who were forever just another fairly strong program has transitioned into a ridiculous powerhouse in CFB since the arrival of Kirby Smart, and might be the strongest program in the country at the moment. Not to be outdone, Oregon, since the arrival of Dan Lanning, seems primed to follow suit in taking that next step to become a true national powerhouse! Had someone told me this would be the case ten years ago, I would have thought they were of their rocker. Yet here we are! There are some very intelligent people way out there in Eugene, and they are making all the right moves. I can hardly wait to see what happens next! We’ve got some great seasons ahead of us. Both the Dawgs and the Ducks!

Great commitment!!!

I hear you and I think I know exactly how you’re feeling about this. And I’ll tell you what Mr. FishDuck, I honestly believe that Lanning and Co are just getting warmed up. The best days are ahead. It feels great to see the Ducks really flexing their muscles. Yes Sir, the best days are in the future!

This is so awesome, I keep logging on to FishDuck to check on things and I keep posting the same thing. Congratulations again in another big recruiting win Ducks!!! Gotta absolutely love pulling in a 5 star Corner in Dorian Brew, Ducks are on a roll!!! I must say, June has been a heck of a month for me when it comes to CFB recruiting. My Dawgs are going strong and Oregon is just tearing the trail up! It doesn’t get much better than committing a guy like Brew, but I admit that the fact that he is spurning tOSU to come to Eugene does make it much sweeter!

This is great, another good win!!! I’m so freaking glad this guy isn’t going to be wearing Tennessee Orange! That color makes me nauseous every time I see it.

Davison is an absolutely awesome commit to win on!!! This really can’t be overstated IMO! Powerhouse runner with great speed for his size and also a good receiver out of the backfield or split out. This guy is a true every down back and I believe he will be another great RB for the Ducks! I believe that my Dawgs were after him as well along with most other big time programs. Since he didn’t choose GA I’m very happy and excited that he is going to be playing in Eugene! Well done and congratulations Ducks! Getting this kid to commit is a huge deal. I firmly believe that Davison is going to make the Oregon faithful very proud, along with this DuckDawg! BIG WIN!!!!!!!!!

Oregon is certainly deserving of the attention, but I can appreciate Schwartz’s point of view on expectations and preferring to stay more under the radar. It’s not a terrible thing or a surprising thing that Oregon is getting so much praise. Where there is smoke there is usually fire. The Program has tons of support, a very high caliber coach, and is potentially becoming a recruiting powerhouse. As fans, it’s easy to keep hearing all of the praise and sometimes become over confident because we want to believe all of these positive things. So then we get a huge letdown when the team under performs. It really sucks to lose a game you really feel your team should have won. Either way, I’m enjoying all of the positivity around the Ducks. It gets me fired up and so ready for the season. Also, it’s probably very good press on many different fronts like recruiting, the portal, and all of the different forms of financial support that players and the team can receive.

Yeah, Oregon is definitely not a pretender. Having a strong football program isn’t new for the Ducks, but I do think they are taking the next step under Lanning. The exposure they will gain from joining the B1G will likely help on most fronts as well. One thing I find impressive is that they are beginning to recruit very well from high school and from the portal. I don’t mean this in a condescending way at all, Oregon has recruited well in the past, but doing it at the level they are currently is very impressive in the state of Oregon. For example, the Ducks don’t have the ridiculous amount of talent so close to them like southern schools do. But I do agree, with this success so comes the so called “rat poison”. It can certainly be a real thing that can have negative effects. Hopefully the Ducks don’t experience any negative issues with this. I’ve faith that this is not something that Lanning will overlook.

The Ducks will be very good this season. Yet, it’s just too early to tell how good. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think Oregon may go undefeated in the regular season. The schedule is tough, but it isn’t brutal. tOSU game will be the tell and they come to Eugene. Who knows right now though? I think Oregon has a better chance of going undefeated than many top teams, including my Dawgs. While the schedule is tough, I think it will set up well for the Ducks. I think the GA schedule is really tough, be hard to win every game. I thought GA’s schedule was really bad until I glanced at Florida’s schedule. If you haven’t seen theirs take a look. It’s ridiculous!!! I almost feel sorry for them,……. Almost!

GA has two players at safety that I would consider elite talents. Starks and Bolden. Bolden is a freshman though. Dan Jackson has experience and will likely be a big contributor. The others I’m kinda waiting to see, if I’m remembering correctly not much experience so we will see. So it doesn’t surprise me that GA is interested in picking up a safety. GA must like something about Gill. I’m sure Lanning and Smart have a good relationship so this is likely a good move for GA. One thing about Gill that GA probably likes is his size. No receiver loves the idea of a 220lb safety lurking somewhere in the field.

A focus on Ohio State, that explains this garbage of an article. This trash is so ridiculous that it doesn’t even piss me off, it just makes me laugh. Agenda or no, as a sports writer Fisher should be ashamed to have his name associated with such drivel.

I’m extremely excited to watch both Beck and Gabriel this season. I expect both of them to play at an elite level this Fall. They will both be leading offenses that, barring terrible injury luck, will be loaded with great talent across the board! From the RBs to the pass catchers and O-lines, I don’t anticipate any weaknesses from either offense. In fact I expect the opposite. I don’t know which of these QBs to give an edge to at this point. The one thing I’m sure of is that I can’t wait to watch how things play out this season! Go Dawgs!!! & Go Ducks!!!

I’m a Falcons fan and I’m excited that we got Dorlus. I don’t really understand the Penix jr pick at #8 after making the Cousins deal. I like Penix, I just seems odd for Atlanta to make this pick. We are in win NOW mode, and there were tons of players that likely could have made a heavy impact right away.

Yeah, the start of Joey’s NFL career is similar to David Carr’s. I think they were drafted the same year and both put into all but impossible situations for a young QB. I honestly think both might have been very good under different circumstances

Maybe so, I’m excited to watch James Madison. Those guys play tough. I think they play Duke so it will be hard but you never know.

Outstanding game! Tough loss, but the Ducks represented Oregon extremely well!

Holy Smokes!!! This is crazy, I love it! Lets Go Ducks!!!

Dante is the man! 22 points, 17 rebounds so far, and great defense!

Not a bad half. I’ll take being within two points. Keeping Couisnard and Dante on the floor is critical. Hopefully the Bluejays continue to struggle shooting. As others above stated though, we certainly can’t expect that to happen. Go Ducks!!!

Is someone going to make a game thread? Go Ducks!!!

Hats off to Oakland, they played a very good game!

Oakland has their first lead of the night!!!

The Cougs are tied at the half! Never know, maybe they hang in there

I wish Oregon and UGA would’ve had a home and home instead of one game in Atlanta. It still makes me chuckle remembering how the media considered that a neutral site game.

Apologies, I was mistaken. @Jon Joseph was pointing out the Ole Miss and Missouri schedules over the next two years.
