For those that don't know of it, Tennessee and VT are going to face off at the Bristol speedway, in the biggest football game ever (attendance wise). Estimates are that there will be 160,000 or so at the game. Still, this has to be one of the worst ways to watch a game... think old Husky stadium was bad, check this out:

I have heard from sources that Georgetown forward Paul White is looking to transfer here. This would be a major pickup for Altman.

White would have to sit a year after transferring.

Just so all of you know. Oregon/Alumni won more Gold medals in Track and Field than any other US University....I am not sure about the rest of the world's universities.

UO was tied for second in total track medals with Florida. USC won the most medals only if you count the three medals won by USC alumnae Alyson Felix. However, Alyson Felix never competed for the USC track team.

If you only count track athletes and alumni of college track teams, then it is a three way tie between Florida, USC, and UO for the total medal count in track and field. However, UO won the most Gold!.........and that makes us a little bit superior!

Go Duckies!

Practicing with the WR now at PSU, will be eligible to play this year

It is scheduled for 3:00 saturday.

I am not going up, and want to see it on TV. Go Ducks lists it as being on the Pac 12 network, however, it doesn't show that on my Comcast Guide. Is it not being shown in northern California?

Duck QB commit Colson Yankoff showed well despite the loss in a tough game, throwing 25 of 34 for 301 yards and 3 TDs, with another 81 yards and a TD on the ground

Yankoff shines

Last monday I was reading some duck info on my phone, and came across a headline saying in both the AP poll and the Coaches poll that Oregon had risen 7 spots in both. I tried opening the article but it would not open. Furthermore, when I got home, I couldn't find the article at all. Can anyone verify if this is true or not?

are we going to see a more physical approach to the zone blocking scheme? Maybe a bit more success on the short yardage rushing attempts?

Man, we're pretty darn big....6'5" 310, 6'6" 310, 6'5" 295, 6'4" 300 and 6'6" 300. How quick are these freshmen, anybody have any idea. I can only assume they are quick to run our offense but nobody can say we are smallish any longer. Seems like in the not too far past we would be throwing guys out there in the 275 - 280 range more often than I liked anyways.

With the things Greatwood has mentioned (liking this group) I like the potential of this line and see big things ahead!

GO DUCKS!

Let the man-crushing commence

Was reading the ticker, and one thing stood out to me is that Stanford has offered Johnson. I believe that HC David Shaw is a quality coach and respect him a bunch. I also think they look at character as much as we do. So a question has been born in my mind, is it really a character situation with Johnson, or the fact that their is a very small allotment for LBs this cycle, and McBride and Phillips stand higher on the board than Johnson?

and the Ducks are in it... Currently ranked #5 in the country for 2017, Trevon Duval:

Here are some more team notes as we start getting ready for UC Davis.

Notes: Disappointments and top performers

Anyone surprised to hear Helf was so transparent? Good or bad for recruiting? Right call? Future impact? Jonathan Vilma on ESPN said the decision to start Prukop would be disastrous for Duck QB recruiting in the near future. Is he right? If this solidifies over the course of thge season, what happens with Wilson and Jonsen?

Starting three Freshmen...did I read that right?

What I'm reading is that Prevot & Ofodile have fallen off the depth chart, and IMO could be candidates for transfer. Especially Ofodile, as his dad is now a coach at Mizzou. Any thoughts, info?

Impressive that he won the start on Saturday. I caught up with him today to talk about it.
