Really confused about the Men's baseball team and the schedule maker. The softball team plays it's first 16 games down south and already has played 5 games. The baseball team has its first 12 games at home in February! Why? Normally teams go south the first part of the season to make sure they get games in. There is a possibility that Oregon only plays a few of their first 12 games. Seems really odd to me. Maybe because of our new Big10 schedule where they will have to travel a lot they had cut back on spring travel, that would be a real disservice to the team. Almost like starting the season a month and half after everyone else. Am I missing something here?

We have been totally out coached .

I watched the USC/Penn St game and his end of the game clock management was terrible, made Mario look like a genius!

We do need to remember how duck fans talked leading up to our 2nd matchup with the fuskies in the Pac 12 championship. We felt we should have won the first game (Just like the bucknuts). We wanted revenge! I suspect it will work out just like last year with the team winning the first game wins the 2nd.

On the serious side, what do you think the ducks learned from this game?

That’s so judgmental and so incredibly funny at the time!

A good team/coaching staff will make adjustments at halftime, we will see…..

What do you think Sanders would have chosen before the season- 1:9-3 and Hunter winning the Heisman Or 2: No Heisman and a spot in the Conference championship game to get an opportunity to go to the Playoff? Let's see how good of coach he is next year without his son's & Hunter.

Remember this one Bo Jackson runs over Brian Bosworth MAKEAGIF.COM _premium

If you were a big time USC donor would you keep giving money to Riley (Thats what NIL's are really doing) to recruit players just to lose? They might be cutting off the faucets till Riley proves himself so they dont have the money to full fill their promises to players.

A lot better placement for our byes next year!

I do not think Mike Riley is coaching any more

With Mensah signing with Duke does this mean Thompson will start in their bowl game? That will give me a reason to watch it.

Years ago I was watching two retired coaches talking about how they would start a team from scratch. John Madden said he would start with corner backs, he felt if you could lock down receivers you could put more guys on the line and prevent big plays. The other coach (cannot remember his name) would start with O-linemen. Today it appears it quarter backs that team want to start with. It's hard to argue with that, especially watching Bo in Denver. But I still would vote for Hunter for the Heisman, I just believe he is the best player in college football.

I believe that if DL thinks that we need Bear & Cook he will make sure they will fit into our culture, that is my only concern.

The potential problem with a Feb 1st portal date are players who want to enroll in January at their new school. I cannot see any easy answer to the portal issue or the problems with players not playing in a bowl game.

With bile in my mouth I have to say Travis Hunter is the best player in college football (IMHO). Not a fan of the hype machine but Oregon did similar stuff with Joey, Marcus and Bo. My only complaint is that his stats are a little padded. Sanders threw a TD pass to Travis with 2 minutes to go in the Oklahoma state game when they were up 45-0. How would we feel if Hunter played for OBD and went both ways?

The committee got it both right and wrong in regards to SMU/Alabama. They didn't punish SMU for playing in a conference championship game, that is the committee getting it right. Getting it wrong in regards to Alabama is that does anyone really believe (take our hate of the SEC/Alabama out of the picture) that Alabama wouldn't beat SMU 9 out of 10 times?

Oh how lucky we have been! I cannot remember what message board, but there was a lot of negative talk when we hired Dana Altman. People moaned about not being able to get a big name to come here coach the BB team. So we get a guy from Creighton! Well I believe that turned out pretty good. Then we get some assistant coach for the football team. Why cant we get a big name; Brian Kelly, one of the Stoops or an Urban Meyer. Well maybe we should stick with nobodies!

Not sure if he is heavy enough for what we need. At 6'7'' & 237, that is pretty slight compared to Herbert & Ferguson at 6'5" 255. He would probably have to be used like Sadiq but I doubt very much he has Sadiq's skill set. I believe we need a TE who can block on the line and also catch passes. We have a couple Freshman, but will they be ready. Brashear is 6'4' 265 but I dont know if he has even played this year. There is a kid from Kentucky, Khamari Anderson, 6'5" 250. He caught 5 passes this year, all their TE combined caught less then 20 passes so TE is not a weapon for them. But like we say, in Dan we trust!

Great Analysis, now lets go a step further. Penn St now knows this, how do they counter? Do they crash Carter focusing on Gabriel and make him hand the ball off to soon? It's a timing play and if he hands the ball to early the OL does not have time to get in front so he has to wait which might give Carter a chance to catch him. This is way defensive speed can be so critical We all assume that Lanning/Stein are already looking at a new wrinkle to counter a different defensive reaction because they know Penn St is scheming to stop this type of play. Defense vs Offense is a cat and mouse game, lets hope "Jerry" stays one step a head of "Tom"! (and old cartoon reference that many of you will know)

AJ Feeley was Joey Harrington's backup in college and he played 10 years in the NFL, Joey only about 6. The NFL sees talent, even if they don't play a lot.

Important question- Does Puddles have a NIL contract? If not we better pony up, I would hate to lose him!

Rece Davis was really terrible about asking questions about Championship weekend and how that would impact teams. He should have asked about Clemson/SMU & BSU/UNLV. The Committee said that they would not punish a team for playing in a championship game but they will. Currently Boise State is 10th and SMU is 8th, if they both lose their Championship game they should still be in (They said they wouldn't punish teams) and Clemson and UNLV would also be in. That would mean Alabama and Indiana would be out. Will they have the guts to do what they said or be too afraid of a SEC backlash?

What only a 4 star?! What are we doing scraping the bottom of the barrel? Sorry getting a little cocky!
