Just Imagine how much fun Walton would've had with that one.

I salute you beupivi!  🙂👍

Man, now that's a life that deserves a little bit of "doing whatever the hell you want"!  I'm happy for you.

As far as Dante, yeah. Why does Oregon always seem to get the shaft on these deals??  There are even many more instances of an uneven playing field than the ones you stated. The NCAA is just so incompetent and corrupt it's quite breathtaking when you look at it on the whole for all these last few decades. I've long been a holdout, but I think it's really past time it dissolves completely. Into what? I don't know. But something more equitable, consistent and just, I hope. (Yes, I'm a bit naive and a hopeless romantic lol)

Funny about Altman.

It's not that I'm not a fan. I do truly love Altman for the man and person he is. He has achieved greatness here at Oregon. He is a character guy and a loyal guy which I respect immensely. It's a top quality in a coach and as a human. As I've said in the past, he is a Hall of Famer and it's a travesty he is not already in the club like several other active coaches are. I just think the game has passed him by a bit. He's too old school and stubborn in his thinking. Too set in his ways. He is just so darn humble and quiet and not a rah rah guy. I mean, he probably spends his evenings quilting with Reva which is cool.....but I want new blood. New energy. New ideas. New coaches. New attitude. Someone that can get the fans excited. Pac the Matt (that stale morgue is a whole other story) someone............like Dan Lanning!!!!!!!!


That's what Oregon needs. A basketball version of Dan Lanning!

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lol.

I love it. I appreciate the stats and the effort!! Hopefully pitching recruiting can improve going forward,

I'll be 58 in August, and believe me, I would LOOOOVE to pull weeds and stack wood at home than going to work each day. I can't see myself working a day past 65 even if I have to move into a deluxe cardboard box.

Then again, my yard is so big I use a lot of Roundup. Hopefully I make it to retirement before I get lymphoma and croak!😄☹️

Good points all.

But I was thinking even the bat boy could come in and throw a strike or two lol.

It was do or die. Elimination game. No tomorrow. And there was not one warm body in the pen that could throw a strike?? I mean at that point you HAVE to go with the game 3 starter even if it is the ONLY option left.

I gotta apologize for the diatribe.

Sometimes I get cranky waiting for football season lol.

Coach has done well with the program since he took over for Horton. An obvious upgrade. I went too far with the negative.

But still sticking to my guns that it was managerial malpractice. Hopefully he........learns???

Bill was the best.

How ironic that as the P12 dies, so does Bill.
I will dearly miss him.

Hope they have doobies in heaven, Bill.

Personally, I'm all for it.

I really tire of the games and lies coaches contort themselves into to conceal injuries.

Chip was the worst. Just basically a bald-faced liar right into the camera and all of our faces.

I think the NFL model is the right one. I hate being bullshitted.

MY GOD!!

I don't follow Duck Baseball, which is weird since I'm a pretty big MLB guy.

But watching those two games just summed it up, I guess.  College Baseball is really a joke. A 10-0 lead means nothing. Coach Waz, to my eyes, is a fucking joke! Allowing a pitcher to throw ball after ball after ball after walk after walk after hit batter after walk after ball after ball after walk, walk, walk, walk,...........AND NOT EVEN PULLING THE FUCKING PITCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guy is a clown don't care what anyone says.

Really wish Oregon would have kept Wrestling and saved the U of O untold millions on this trash!!

Coming from a fan with "long PTSD" from growing up with Oregon football in the 70's and 80's, it's still hard to have ever imagined getting the types of athletes Lanning is bringing in.

DUCKS BABY

Well, I can’t say I have “long PTSD” (with the caveats I am both long in the tooth from ‘70s sad Duck football and have plenty of other PTSD afflictions to deal with) 😁🤣 but I am pretty fired up about the current direction of the team.

Great coaching staff, national level recruiting, solid roster and possibly more important - a widespread broader program vision that is looking towards greatness long term. Certainly Uncle Phil and superb facilities help.

I’m pumped up for football season to get here!!

GO DUCKS !!

YES!! The anticipation is killing me.

What an extraordinary time to be a DUCK!

It all started with the 85 scholly limit and i suppose that NIL thingy might have a little to do with it? Lol.
Doesn't hurt to probably have the best "collective" (Phil) in the country!!

DUCKS BABY

Wonderful for Bo! So proud of him. I'm hoping he has a long and great career as he's one of my all-time favorite Ducks.

I'm ambivalent about the Bears, but I'm ambivalent about the NFL in general. The NFL is distant 6th in my Sports-fan hierarchy:

College Football
College Basketball
MLB
NHL
PGA Golf
NFL
NBA

I hope Williams works out for Bears fans, Phil.
Persoanlly, I've always thought he was a classless punk. And he showed it in many ways. I always root against guys like that.

Sorry.

I agree that the floor was hideous. 

I'm excited they are changing it, but my heart sank when I heard that Tinker Hatfield will be designing this one too. I'm sure it will be some flashy weird thing which is his M.O.

I'd love just a regular floor with some green and yellow on it please.

DePaul hasn't been the same since the Meyer days and does not possess the resources that Oregon has in terms of attracting talent.  That said, I never followed his teams and thus don't know his X's and O's, so I can't necessarily push back on the fact that his record stunk as a HC.  Cristobal was hired as the HC with a terrible career record and...  well, never mind... 

DOH! lol

Interesting side note: Over 3,000 guys currently in portal and Dana has yet to land a single one!

Concerning?
