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?

I have heard rumors that the OSN has been sent to the big profit section of comcast. Anyone know anything about this?

It's about time to tune into the kick-off.

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.

Sorry if this is incorrect place for following info. I joined this site a couple years ago have read with interest since then. Unfortunately, my health went south early this year and 4 shoulder surgeries with nasty infection I have missed the boards. With healing in progress I now have been given diagnosis of Merkel Cell Carcinoma and radiation therapy starting next week. Mcc is a killer with very extreme aggressiveness. I'll take time off here to begin fight but will follow board. Keep it interesting gang,

Damn... was hoping he might have some future away from the mistakes

Lyerla arrested

Interesting tidbit from Sports Illustrated this week.....

Alabama has lost 15 kids to transfers in the last 5 years....averaging 3 per year.

It happens to everybody.....

The options will be plenty for Neal, lots of top talent looking the Ducks way
