Slow start for both, but Oregon turning it on. Under 5 in the half, Ducks up 32-20

The men took 6th place in the team final standings behind some spirited and hard fought performances. Had US Olympian ,Micah Williams, not been DQed in the 60m, I believe that he would have finished no lower than 2nd and likely would have won the event. Either way, the Ducks would have made the podium and finished 3rd in the team score.

Congratulations are due to another successful chapter in our storied track team's history.

Scott mentioned some in his Wednesday War Room, but more are coming. We'll keep track of them here:

Oh No!
Micah Williams was DQed for a false start in 60m prelim.

Apparently there was a loud crack in the stands that caused Micah and others to jump. They only DQed Micah. This stinks.

This is devasting in that Micah was likely to finish first or second…scratch 10 possible points and this pretty much takes the team out of reach to make the podium. It also will hurt Micah’s chances of winning the Bowerman Trophy.

This is especially disappointing because the rest of the team had a great day. Now we just have to cheer for good individual performances. The men’s team will not be in the running for a top finish.

During an update interview with Rivals, Williams talks about his desire to visit Oregon.

Ducks took game one last night 4-3 on a Tanner Smith home run in the 9th. Big game one win especially since regular Friday night starter Adam Maier did not pitch. Ducks looking for the BIG series win tomorrow to open Pac 12 play.

With Aaron in Vegas for the Pac-12 tournament and Jacob on the road today, we're excited to have Gabriel Marvin make his debut for us out at spring practice No. 1. He'll be over at the field in about an hour as things get going. We're only allowed to watch the first 15-20 minutes, and then Dan Lanning has a Zoom call with us at noon.

Gabriel will drop some observations in here and then have a full "Takeaways and Observations" writeup, plus a second story from the Zoom call.

On Saturday, Gabriel and Jacob will tag-team practice.

The fun begins!

Very interesting as there is no mention of what he is leaving to do.

Max is bringing it.

Game just tipping off. Colorado has been on a roll lately winning seven of their last eight. Huge game in that both teams are hoping for an at-large NCAA bid. Winner will play AZ tomorrow.

Jacob Hamre continues our buildup to the start of spring practice tomorrow with a look at his top 10 candidates for breakout seasons:

Some bad words for KT. This may cost him some bucks

In case you've lost track of all the new names...

Tip off at 2:30.

Here's Gabriel main story:


And expanded takeaways and observations:

Will DSA show Lanning's noon zoom press conference?

It will be updated online later today, but they just emailed us a copy. Here are the numbers for the newcomers who are here for spring ...

0 -- Christian Gonzalez
5 -- Anthony Jones
10 -- Bo Nix
55 -- Sam Taimani

And Jeffrey Bassa is still listed as an ILB

(Hope I didn't miss anybody there).

Good writing here by Aaron:
