Can Gabe back up Bo in the Fiesta Bowl?

I'm not sure if he will be enrolled in time nor what the rules are for participation in Bowl games. Some things like the red shirt limit don't apply for those games. With Ty gone, several weeks of practice available, and possibly no other available subs at the position it would be a good time to get our first look at Gabriel. Can somebody help me out on the possibility? I could easily see why it wouldn't be allowed. Teams could start recruiting tunnel players for bigger bowl games, but it may not have been anticipated by the rules committee.

Not sure if you guys want to discuss this but

I read on another message board concerning the potential fumble of Penix, that it was indeed a "possible" fumble. The thinking is the his arm was moving forward when he got hit and it was an incomplete pass, not a fumble. But, he pointed out the ball was not thrown forward, which means it's a backwards pass and it should have been a fumble. I watched the video and he sure has a point. It looks to me, from the angle, it was not a forward pass, which means it's a fumble. Oregon did recover as most of you remember.

I am at the point where "it is what it is". I do find it fascinating I didn't consider this at the time as well as Herbie and the crew. Did any of you consider a backwards pass, which is a fumble ???

If your over it and don't care I get it. Just thought it might be something to discuss. Maybe Brandon can find the clip and post it.

UO Women vs Wisconsin

Ladies trail match 1-2 after dropping first two sets. Gutsy set 3 win as Wisconsin tied it late. The ladies are serving very aggressively and really going after the Wisconsin libero who is struggling. Scouting has definitely found a weakness there.

Wisconsis is a BIG team for sure as they have one front row rotation that is 6'9", 6'7", and 6'4". When the Ducks are running tempo to the outside and from back middle they are looking good. Wisconsin block frustrating our hitters at times. Set 4 coming up and Ducks have some momentum.

Hoops tinight

Oregon is on the air tonight between 6:00 and 9:00, depending on where you are watching the game on PAC12 network. I imagine it is also broadcast on KUGN.

Texas Tech is 6-2, having beaten common opponent Michigan 73-57.

Without the big men the Ducks are doing surprisingly well. They should have a decent pre-conference record, though I am going to pessimistically expect a loss tonight.

Army vs Navy

This is the first time that the America's Game will be held in Massachusetts, as both the Naval Academy and Army West Point have announced that they will cycle cities for the next five years. The upcoming Army-Navy games are scheduled to take place in Washington D.C. in 2024, Baltimore in 2025, and New York City/New Jersey in 2026.

Flock Talk: A Couple Acres Greener

It is sometimes interesting to go back over old threads and reflect. Bo Nix is a Heisman finalist after a season in which he completed over 77% of his passes, threw for over 4000 yards with 40 passing touchdowns and just 3 interceptions.

Predicting 2024 NFL Draft Decisions for the Oregon Ducks

Powers-Johnson was probably the best offensive lineman the Ducks had this year. It felt like every week he was in the discussion for a top performer nationally or the Pancake Block of the Week.

His power, bend and athleticism for his size have made him hard to miss and the rest of college football would agree. He's a finalist for the Rimington Trophy which is given to the best center. JPJ's draft stock seems like it's soaring and it could be his time to make the leap.
