Graziani93 No. 5 Share Posted September 11 (edited) Ok, that does it. We now have two huge Malians to shore up our front court. I'm going to have to plan my road trip to northwest Florida this coming Thanksgiving weekend and check out my Ducks at the Emerald Classic. Just have to convince the wife to let me go first (she did let me go up to Canada last preseason and that was fantastic).

Jon Joseph No. 7 Share Posted September 12 Dana gets his Hatter on. Nice get. BTW, watching BTN I have seen more non-game coverage of Oregon's non-revenue sports than was ever broadcast on Larry's Loser Network. Being covered by BTN is great and is going to be great for recruiting. Now, Dana, we all want to get back to The Dance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
