  1. What is sort of funny is that the B1G will want UCLA so bad, they will have to invite Cal. That then will invite Stanford and then will likely require them to invite 2 more teams, to make it an even 20 league team. To help with travel, they will want 2 west coast teams. There has been quite a bit of talk about the authority UCLA has to leave Cal behind, so you know the TV contracts must have language in there specifically talking about USC/UCLA.
  2. WNBA Playoffs: Sabrina Ionescu has historic performance in playoff win DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Sabrina Ionescu got on the big stage and performed in the WNBA Playoffs. Are you at all shocked?
  3. MC is living rent free in our heads. He is old news, time to move on. We have been kicking that horse for so long, there isn't anything left. Hopefully, Dan Lanning will get us all focused on the bright future of the Ducks.
  4. Josh Conerly is one of the top true freshmen in college football DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Oregon’s 5-star OT Josh Conerly was named to the true-freshman All American Team.
  5. It is a nice list, but I think they need to hold off on that list until they sign the dotted line. Most are commits, yet unsigned. With how kids change their minds, I'm not convinced anybody is a Duck until they sign.
  6. Saturday Out West Crystal Ball: Predicting every Oregon football game for 2022 SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM The Oregon Ducks have a new head coach, Dan Lanning, who brings with him a defense-first approach. That's a big change up in Eugene. Will it pay off?
  7. Bronny James Recruiting: ‘Mutual Interest’ exists with Oregon Ducks DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM According to a new report from On3, the Ducks are in fact recruiting Bronny James, and there is mutual interest from both parties.
  8. I guess what would be considered a trick play? A flea flicker, a double reverse, a WR pass, a fake FG/punt? I personally don't think a flea flicker or double reverse are trick plays, even though they are not frequently run plays. A trick play is one of those things that look great when resulting in a positive play, but look terrible when they don't get the result needed. For a 1st game, I wouldn't run a trick play, unless he knows of a tendancy that he can take advantage of. If it doesn't work, it will be a stigma that could haunt him for a while.
  9. The Oregon Ducks have a history of putting forth a strong and extremely respectable group of running backs. From LaMichael James to Royce Freeman, from Jonathan Stewart to DeAnthony Thomas, the Ducks are known for having a stout stable of RBs. That doesn’t look to be changing under the new coaching staff, with RB coach Carlos Locklyn at the helm. Oregon Football: Carlos Locklyn discusses running back’s progression DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Oregon coach Carlos Locklyn believes he’s the best RB on the Ducks. He brings that confident mentality to a loaded RB room.

  15. “I think it’s just in between plays, you know, are they directing the show?” Dillingham said. “If somebody is misaligned, are they making it right? Or is the play just going to be a negative? At the end of the day, we talked about extreme ownership in our room, right when you play quarterback Oregon Football: Kenny Dillingham on how to evaluate growth at QB DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Oregon Ducks offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham offers thoughts on how to evaluate growth and development at the quarterback position.

  17. Despite the relatively young age on Oregon’s defensive line, it’s not like Taki was coming into a defensive room that is lacking experience or production. Becoming a leader in that room is like walking a fine line, always wary of overstepping. Oregon Football: Sam ‘Taki’ Taimani embraces new leadership role DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM After transferring from Washington, Sam ‘Taki’ Taimani has taken over a leadership role on the defense that’s impressed the coaching staff.

  18. Not sure why B1G TEN went with NBC at all, if they want ND. ND in early afternoon with big ten game afterwards makes ND that more valuable.
  19. No real surprises, but interesting to see returning percentage for each team. Ranking the Pac-12’s linebackers for the 2022 season SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM It's time to rank the Pac-12's linebacker units. There's some talent throughout the league, but an obvious top choice.
  20. Interesting fact about USC QB Williams. Yes, Caleb Williams is an upgrade at quarterback and I love all the new weapons, especially Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addison and Oregon leading rusher Travis Dye. But Williams struggled against top-70 defenses, beginning with when he took over against Texas. He finished with 21 TD passes — but 17 came against weaker defense. He had a 4-3 TD/INT ratio and absorbed 4+ sacks per game against top-70 defenses.

  21. The 2022 NBA Summer League season ended with the Portland Trail Blazers bringing the inaugural championship rings home to Oregon. The Blazers roster saw no former Ducks, yet a handful of familiar faces competed during the 11-day campaign, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Seven former Ducks are on NBA rosters while others remain hopeful, competing in pre-season competition. Only two of those seven played in any summer league games, joined by four other Oregon alums still on the brink of an NBA roster spot. https://www.dailyemerald.com/sports/how-did-oregon-alumni-stack-up-in-the-2022-summer-league/article_3f1c8c56-159f-11ed-95c6-efc07966b42f.html
