FishDuck Article Administrator No. 1 Share Posted April 1 The Oregon Ducks are known for their flashy uniforms, state-of-the-art facilities, and (thanks to Nike) general “cool” factor. But, that zest for being a leader in cutting-edge sports innovation finally caught up to the Ducks over the weekend as 2025 5-Star basketball recruit Keoni Thompson made it known that he was passing on the Ducks.

Smith72 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted April 1 Darren, you had me going! I was not too sure about the court. I can take it or leave it. But the "Visually Induced Dizziness" and the "vomit violently" got me believing you. Then the RoboDuck sold me. What a disaster that was. Ugly! Congratulations on a perfect April Fool's Day joke! Have a great day! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 4 Share Posted April 1 You had the hook in my mouth and I almost swallowed it until you stated the color purple was soothing to him. Just like saying the colors orange and black look good on me, nobody ever says that.

I always felt that instead of a 168 mph fastball he shoulda made it a more "believable" 132 or something..... but, what do I know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven A Moderator No. 20 Share Posted April 1 A little historical note: That floor kept Dana's 20 game win streak going, plus never having had a losing season at Oregon. As you may recall, in Dana's first season we literally bought our way into the CBI with a 16 - 17 record. After 3 wins and a loss, the last 2 games were at the Matt. In the Championship game a Creighton player had an over-and-back violation late in the game that lead to a 71-69 win. The floor was later changed to have a more distinctive mid-court line. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
