Posted April 1, 20241 yr Administrator 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. He made no bones about ... “Ugly Court” Costs Ducks 5-Star Basketball Phenom | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM The flash and pizazz and of the Oregon Ducks’ athletic department catches up to them as they loose the top-ranked 2025 basketball recruit. Two Sites: FishDuck and the Our Beloved Ducks forum, The only "Forum with Decorum!" And All-Volunteer? What a wonderful community of Duck fans!
April 1, 20241 yr Moderator 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!
April 1, 20241 yr 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. Thanks for sharpening my game for the rest of the day!
April 1, 20241 yr Moderator Well played Mr. Perkins. Forewarned is forearmed for the rest of the day. BTW, I think you forgot to add Mr. Thompson is Sid Finch's grandson on his mother's side.
April 1, 20241 yr Moderator Phew! You had me! I was ready to have the floor tossed out the door and bring in a new clean floor design! Great April Fools joke!

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
April 1, 20241 yr Imagine what a TTU red or Boise blue turf would do to a quarterback or receiver with similar issues? Well executed!

April 1, 20241 yr Administrator That was so well played...gotta have some fun as we go, and that was a dandy. Thanks Darren! Mr. FishDuck

April 1, 20241 yr Moderator 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.
April 2, 20241 yr I'd probably consider not signing with Oregon because of the court, to be honest. No joke.
