Canzano: Take a Hard Pass on LIV Golf at Pumpkin Ridge
Tandaian replied to Maebee's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
No person, organizations or country can be on their high horse, for they have their own mistakes from the past. PGA doesn't exactly have a great track record of always doing the right thing. I get the Saudi backing is a terrible look for LIV, but the PGA has been living as the only game in town. This hopefully is a wake up call for them to make some changes in their own house. -
Big Ten TV Negotiations Will Impact Pac-12 TV Negotiations
Tandaian replied to Tandaian's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
We can't make the Pac 12 relevant because less than 50% of Us households have the the channel. -

We all have those players we swear by.

Former Duck Sabrina Ionescu Tearing Up the WNBA!
Tandaian replied to Smith72's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
She is the only player in WNBA history to record 25 or more points, eight or more assists and eight or more rebounds in a game while shooting 90% or better from the field. And she reached those numbers during the third quarter. -
The first day of the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Track & Field Championships wrapped up this evening, and Oregon’s Micah Williams had the Ducks best Men’s performance of the day. Williams won his heat in the Men’s 100 Meter Dash Semi-Finals with a time of 10.03 seconds, the best of the day. Williams will be favored to win the Final, however, the competition will be fierce.

Another program to keep an eye on is Oregon, which lost coach Mario Cristobal to Miami. His replacement is Dan Lanning, the former defensive coordinator at Georgia, which won the national championship last season. The Ducks also added a quarterback from the SEC — Bo Nix, who previously played at Auburn.

NIL Mania: OSU's C.J. Stroud Gets a Bentley
Tandaian replied to Steven A's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Not that Stroud is hurting for cash, but are they also paying his insurance? For a young single guy, the insurance is the highest it will ever be. I imagine $500 a month? -

Bo Nix’s Picks: Can You Live With Them?
Tandaian replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I'm hoping Nix is maturing because his stats show improvement every season for the most part. His completion percentage improved every year. His yards per pass average improved. His number of INTs decreased his junior year. I don't think he is going to be a top 10 QB in college, but I'm pretty sure he is not going to be as frustrating as Anthony Brown was last year. I know I'll be pulling my hair out on a bad INT, but if he only throws 3 of them for a full season, I can live with that.

I think in a bubble it could be true, but Utah was very fortunate last year with few injuries to their defensive starters.

"People might say, 'You can't play defense like you used to play,' and ultimately for me I'm going to say, 'Why not?'" Lanning says. "Why can we not adapt? Why can't we re-create?

Eliminating the 25 initial counters College coaches are also adjusting to the NCAA doing away with the initial counter scholarship limit for two years. Previously, coaches were not only limited to 85 total scholarships, but also 25 initial counters in each class -- transfers and high school prospects, even if a program was under the 85 limit. The NCAA created a waiver to allow coaches to go over that 25 annual limit by up to seven scholarships based on the number of players they had transfer out, but now the rule is gone altogether for two years. "It's going to help a lot, it was needed. It will make it that much easier for schools to get back to the 85 total scholarships," a Big Ten assistant said. "When new coaches come in, sometimes they can't catch up because they're limited. With the transfer portal, you can't predict who's leaving or what's going to happen, so this makes it a little easier because roster management is so difficult right now." Prior to the transfer-portal era, it wasn't as much of an issue; most of the 25 initials were going to high school prospects. Once the NCAA allowed players the opportunity to transfer one time without having to sit out a year, it became more and more popular to leave the school they started at. But if a school brought in eight transfers who are able to play right away, that leaves room for only 17 high school recruits. The issue is if a team has more players transfer out than transfer in, and is under the 85 total limit. That hurts depth and future development, and can impact a program negatively if they aren't able to fill spots because of that annual limit. Getting rid of the 25 will allow coaches to get back to the numbers they need and will also likely give more high school prospects opportunities and scholarships that were previously being eliminated by restrictions in numbers.

Yeah, no 9:00 AM games. I live in Eugene and I don't want to go to a 9:00 AM game. College kids won't be there either. The kids most likely to go to football games will have been drinking until 2-3 AM.
