Masters 2023: Aaron Wise withdraws from the Masters to 'focus on mental health' | Golf News and Tour Information | GolfDigest.com WWW.GOLFDIGEST.COM

One thing ya gotta say about Dillon: he puts some effort into it! You’ll never hear ‘em say things like they say about Ware, e.g. “You gotta light a fire under him…..”

Is Dillon the new Freddie Blassie?

I wonder if even Mahomes, Rodgers, or Brady would’ve fared any better on the same teams Marcus was on. Any team would be lucky to have him as a backup on their team. It’s a rare starting QB in the NFL that doesn’t miss some games due to injury.

Maybe all the transfers out, and lack of 4 year continuity, has finally caught up with Altman. Certainly, the lack of a reliable team leader at point guard is the most glaring lack on this team. Would Dior Mathis or Jalen Terry sticking around have made a difference, so that leadership didn’t have to fall on Richardson’s shoulders?We’ll never know. Simply put, Richardson just isn’t “the Man”. Bittle and Ware seem to have potential. Five stars supposedly have elite talent. Hopefully, they stick around and develop it.

After the UCLA game.......specifically, the second half, I'd have to say, "No"......they haven't turned the corner. They returned to their "Mr. Hyde" version, once again. ref Richardson delivered his now you-can-depend-on-it-when-we-least-need-it patented inexplicable disappearing act, once again. (Sigh.........) Must be maddening for Altman......Richardson just refuses to be coached out of his malaise. If it's not in his personality to be a Leader, then.......you really can't blame him. He's just not suited for the role, and no coaching can undo that situation. Maybe temporarily, but not in the long run. And.....that's what's playing out. Good Luck to him.

Herbert’s o-line didn’t give him much protection. He didn’t have time to get set up. He also didn’t have Mike Williams. Also, Herbs doesn’t have the escapability of a Kyle Murray or Mahomes.

I was stunned, too, Mr. Fishduck! After ASU, I expected a non-competitive loss v. UA. Very pleasantly surprised to be wrong(again!). Dante and Cousinard were awesome—-top-level Div 1 basketball players, which we sorely need. IMHO, Richardson is much more effective as a distributor, and a supportive….rather than primary…..scoring threat.

Completely shameful. Inexcusable.

Lanning’s old team looks pretty good!

Will “Super- Will”, or, “Invisible-Will” show up tonight?

Just sayin’: Ducks shoulda been in the Rose Bowl! (Sigh). Of course, Holiday Bowl is not exactly “chopped liver”, so, grateful for that great “fallback” option!

LOVE to see the arrogant and entitled USC “brain surgeons” lose! And, what a loss it was! Talk about “Coug’n” it!

That’s like: “do I really want to win the mega millions? Look at all the problems lotto winners get into!” I’ll take the risk. There’s much worse things than having an athlete like Harbor on the team……such as: not having him on the team.

Not forgotten at all! Doug was awesome!

Deforest Buckner being tough on fellow Duck Justin Herbert!

P.S. Ronnie Lee is still a gym rat at the Rec Center! With Ron Lee , Jr., too! We’re not the only ones who love basketball!

Chip Kelley = "Benedict Arnold".

Absolutely! Additionally, the defense, and lack of readiness, and adjustment against: Georgia, UW, and OSU, is……….unacceptable!

Great questions, Dazed! Great analysis, too. Hopefully, Lanning is learning what was done wrong on defense v. OSU(AND,….UW, WSU, UCLA….). If that’s the case, though……and I hope it is……..it’s kinda sad he has to learn on the job….OUR job……while we incur unnecessary losses because of it. Welllll…..the best we can hope for is: it all pays off, with long-term high football success in the very near future. BUT…….in the meantime: UW and OSU, were lost only due to unnecessary defensive incompetence. And….WSU was only won because the masters of “Cougin’ it”, out-Couged us.

“I'm still confused why the defense couldn't stop the Oregon State run in the 4th quarter.” i’m with you Smith72. Doesn’t make sense: you know they’re gonna run, but you can’t stop ‘em? My best guess is: Beav’s O-line was/is waaaaay superior to our D-line. But…..where were our gap-filling linebackers? Flabbergasting. Does not compute.

Ya gotta set boundaries, Charles……for your own sanity, enjoyment, and goals. This is your baby, so, you can do what you want. Thank you for it!

IMHO: A fan is a fan. Just depends as to what kind. Maybe winning just brings out the “inner” fan. Either way, we root for the Ducks to perform well, and win……and are disappointed when they don’t.

(Sigh…..)

What defense? None seems to exist!
