There have been a few or more posts about the abilities of Thompson and Butterfield and some comparing him to Nix, sometimes unfavorably but also with some support.

So who do the Ducks choose for a starter next season? A freshman who has never played in a top level game or one of two back-ups who have been pushed out by transfers? Does Oregon look for another transfer to let Moore get up to speed?

Tailgate information for today:

Location: We will be at our Boy Scout lot parking spot this week
Space: 223 (see map below)
Food: Wings, potato salad, chips, and salsa
Drinks: Coke, Sprite, beer, water
Time: We should be completely set up between 2:30 and 3:00 so PLENTY of time to tailgate.
This spot usually allows us to spread out some more, so even if you aren't going into the game, feel free to stop by and say hello!

Here's my latest roundup of the performances from Oregon's current commits last week. A couple of the future Ducks had the week off, but most of the others were dominant in their games. Two of the standout performances include Kenyon Sadiq catching 5 passes for 124 yards and a touchdown (plus a bunch of other contributions) and edge rusher Blake Purchase adding two more sacks to his total for the season taking him to 10 on the year. He is the current sacks leader in Colorado, and he might be wanted for what he did to the Regis Jesuit quarterback on the first of his two sacks last week.

Other players such as Dante Dowdell, Dante Moore and Jurrion Dickey continue to back up their high rankings with their play. It was another all-around strong week for the Oregon commits.

Trailing TCU 41-17 in the second Q.

Like his injuries at Bama, you have to wonder wtf his coaches are thinking. You can find both on YT, but last night's looked like a seizure, the prior one a concussion with possible back injury. Man, this guy's been through too much..

Big visit for the four-star OL from Hawaii:

A massive Oregon OL target makes the list:

Sucks for him. He was supposed to be the next great USC big man. I guess they are finally releasing the info now due to team practices having started. At 7'1" that's a lot of work for his heart.

Jacob does a good job of scouting the Cardinal:

Thought I would ask this question and get the opinions of everyone on this topic

I really liked Scott's column today. Give it a look!

Scott, Brandon and myself tackled the roundtable this week. A.J. will be back in it next week.

Looking for opinions on smart watches. Like to keep it under $400 and, please, no apple products. Im really favoring a Samsung galaxy 5 golf pro, but I know very little about it all. Thanks in advance.

Our guy Jacob writes about how Bo Nix has settled in since his difficult Ducks debut.

This article is worth your time and do scroll to the bottom of the article and check out the picture at the very end. The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words applies here.

Scott's column today:

Average 3.7+ GPA, so it's not like they are dropping standards to do it.

Story coming ...

The class is already solid, but this kids has BB in his blood and might actually be around a couple of years. Not sure UO scores high on places "easy to get to" from Europe. How much that really matters, who knows.
Not sure, but I think UO is still in the running for Bronny as well.

This years freshman class set many records. It is the most ethnically diverse in school history. They boast an average GPA of 3.76. They come from all over the US and of corse the world. It is by far the largest class in school history, surpassing last year’s record freshman class by 16%

In the article appearing in Around The O it lists a small sampling of the entering students. One of the students is a guy from De La Salle in Corcoran CA ( Bay Area) , by the name of ANTHONY TRUCKS. He says that his parents went to Oregon, and stated track and field opportunities as his reason for selecting Oregon. Anthony finished 6th in the state 110 hurdles.

I will bet dollars to doughnuts his father is the former football player by the same name.
