Troy looked real good tonight in the Rams game against the Chiefs. Analyst commented that Troy was a outstanding tackler, in a sea of defenders who don't . Third team in three years, here's hoping third times the charm for this outstanding Duck!
Looks like Prukop has separated and will be the starter. Herbert seems to mentioned a lot in practice reports as playing well and running with the 2's...it will be curious where Jonsen ends up on the chart. My guess is that Jonsen will end up at second string and Herbert will will RS and play if someone gets injured. Thoughts?
Centro did something NO American has done in 108 years... The Cubs have won a World Series more recently than an American man had won a 1500 meter Gold medal in the Olympics!
The time was slow which has not worked to the advantage of many; Centro went very early and had to hold on for the win, but it was incredible!
With Ashton Eaton and Matt Centrowitz and a gaggle of Ducks in Rio bringing glory to Eugene, what better weather can there be for our Ducks, who have brought so much glory to a state most folks can't pronounce without sounding French?
Yet, as we end a season of track excellence we begin another of expectation....Duck football.
These are the best of times, the best weather for Ducks of all stripes and spikes and the hope of continued Duck domination on the Autumn gridiron. Where dawgs howl, pee in fear and hump the nearest knee. Where beavers wish they had another name.
Hearing from a couple of friends who are season ticket holders and who got to attend practice today that Dillon Mitchell hurt his knee on a 'cheap shot' out of bounds hit by Reggie Daniels and that Cartington hurt his shoulder. Mitchell was on crutches and had a brace on. My friend said Helf 'was livid' with Daniels and gave him a major chewing out. No other details on Cartington.
Hope in both cases nothing serious. Fingers are crossed.
Thought it might be fun to have an ongoing track thread. so why did the USA Women's 4x100 get to run their own qualifying run? Sounds like they had a drop in the 1st attempt, so they get another go at it?
Celebrate Ms Carter and friend in shot put! Very cool.
Caught up with him this week to talk fall camp. I was looking back to last season and he did a very good job the few times he was given a chance. Lots of potential here.
Catching up with Brooks-James
A bunch of USC commits are trying to flip Lenoir but so far he's not thinking about a de-commitment or anything. If he starts taking visits over there, it could be a cause for concern but OK so far.
Cards are starting to fall in place for the WR group. Oregon looks really good for KJ Hamler, and would be more than happy if they can land another midwest prospect in Oliver Martin. Just got confirmation that Martin will be visiting for the Virginia game.
Wish it was a real game, but with numerous Ducks on the teams, might be worth a peak. Titans beefed up their OL-- TG they didn't take that kid from Miss.-- and MM maybe starts and plays some early?
Opened with a line from one of the cheesiest movies of the 80's, but really wanted to talk about Ashton Eaton's performance yesterday. He needed every ounce of strength and endurance to defend his Decathlon title.
Mark Helfrich gave his impressions of the first scrimmage. The big news though is that I think the QB situation is going to get sorted sooner rather than later.
