My story on Foster and his family's visit last weekend.

Ducks have a very strong chance of reversing this curse this year. For one, the game is in Autzen, and two, Andy Avalos did a good of defensing the Cougs while at Boise State.

The Broncos had them 31-10 in the 4th quarter before their quarterback tossed a Pick Six and a punt return blocker got hit by a short kick. Wound up losing in triple overtime.

Avalos does a great job of mixing pressures, coverages and fronts. The Ducks have the athletes and versatility to show a 4-2-5 in one situation and play 3-3-5 in another.

Leach has always relished beating the haves. At Texas Tech he savored showdowns with big donor schools like Texas A&M and Texas. Since coming to WSU, Oregon has been a special target for him. He's won the last four in a row.

Dale tackles the run game.

10+ wins: Problem #3

Ummm..no sports here..

So...Friday night...I went to the Clark County Fairgrounds north of Vancouver, Wa to the amphitheater there...great venue.

We saw Bad Company open for Lynard Skynard.

Bad Company was great as usual.

I have seen Skynard a couple of times before and they were "OK."

But, Friday.....OMG...phenomenal.

I have seen Led Zep 3 times and have seen Stairway to Heaven live 3 times.....but nothing I have ever seen compared to the rendition of Freebird that LS did Friday. Once again, Phenomenal.

So...my vote for the Greatest Live Rock and Roll Song is now Freebird...and get your weak Rolling Stones crap outta here!!

edit: and I don't care how much this dates me!!

We are hearing today is going to be quacky. For those of you that are not patient though, it will be a long day.

I was reading another post and the poster mentioned that we are looking pretty good at QB (so sorry that I don't remember who said that...).

I got to thinking and I really agree.

When was the last time we were this "comfortable" at the position?

I know only too well that you can have 4*s filling out the QB room and still not be good...but these guys just seem to me to be the real deals......Herbert, Millen, Shough, Butterfield.

Now, who knows...they could end up like a lot of our recent 4* QBs and not be that good.

But I have an unscientific feeling that these guys are gonna be good.

Funny, though, that QB centric coaches like Helfrich and SWT could not recruit good QBs (SWT still can't) but an OL coach can......just saying.

(OK ...props to Marcus)

Win, Lose or Draw..this is gonna be a really fun season.

besides Omari he seems a viable option at DT, and has a Oregon offer.

He now calls Oregon his leader:

Finishing up the report on Lexington (Miss.) DT Montra Edwards II. He called the visit "spectacular".

Story coming soon.

Hearing he got an offer after the camp, having hung in with Benson, 7, Pryor....maybe the staff are not confident re 7, maybe the offer is contingent...., but it sounds like he's got potential and will be hearing from more P12 schools.

Though not unexpected. Avantae Williams is likely a decommit. Not sure if he will make a formal announcement or not, but it looks like he will decommit soon if he has not already done so with the staff

Coming out with a final 6 in August he says, but it sounds like he won't finalize things for quite awhile.

With many more Ducks competing today in DesMoines, I can’t help but believe that the US team will have more athletes with UO ties than they have ever had before. There have been some surprises. When the athletes throw the O it is so cool.
On to Victory urge the heroes!

One of the most popular Oregon track athletes ever, Devon Allen, will be taking it to the track today. Another one if my all time favorites, Phyllis Francis runs today..... and then there is Raevin
Rogers... who had one of the most memorable moments in Oregon Track history.., she runs today, The Duck legends will be lining up!

Not good years for in state recruiting, not so in WA......
