Good news for Jurrion Dickey and Dante Dowdell, but Cole Martin slipped a bit in the rankings.

Stuck at home, on a a cold foggy/ rainy day, with Covid. I find myself tuning to DSA in hopes of a Quack to lift my spirits. Won’t somebody please come up with a Quack, or maybe a Quaaaack… just do it.

I just got over Covid a few days ago, and now I have tested positive again. I had two vaccines and two boosters. I’ve cancelled my flight and my hotel reservations. The MD explained that this has been happening lately. Next meet for me … THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS ( minus Russia)

Dude playing big minutes at the highest level. +14 with a minute to play.

Hey everyone! My name is Jed May and I'm the Georgia analyst for the national team over at Rivals. Spoke with 2023 Rivals250 corner Kayin Lee, who mentioned Oregon as a school that will receive an official:

Brown updates his recruiting sharing which teams are on his possible summer official visit list and which ones he may look at for this fall on Rivals.

Here we go, chance to earn a rematch with Michigan in the regional final if we can win this one. Go Ducks!

bats are on fire and we score 8 runs after two innings (should be 9) and what do we do? Come out in the bottom of the 2nd and walk the first two guys and then bobble a sacrifice bunt for an error.....next pitch intices a double play with a run scoring. Ayon gets a grounder to 2nd for the 3rd out....8-1 after two!

Game is tonight at 4 PT/7 ET. Looks like the game got moved to ESPNU for coverage according to ESPN’s website for those interested in watching.

Scott's article about the "feud" is required reading for anyone interested in the back story behind Saban's hip shot at pay for play.

There is enough in the article to stimulate thought as to how and in what form a super conference can operate within the existing collegiate/Title IX structure. Like it or not elite college football hardly needs the schools that it purports to represent, especially if the pay for NIL comes from sources outside of academia and taxes and athletes can change schools like dirty shirts.

Clearly the most significant casualty in all of this is the value of a degree when the purpose of enrolling is football or basketball and how much is being forked over to play. A secondary casualty might well be us, unless we have become so jaded we no longer care if the jock attends school or not as long as he/she delivers in the name of Duck. Sic transit gloria school pride.

Clearly the messy sausage making of elite league football must resolve include the pesky details of what the school requires of its hired hands to attend class and make grades while majoring in pigskin. And it's not unreasonable to visualize a day when the. only relationship between academia and elite sports is the value of the school name, colors and mascot to an independent entity that otherwise has no practical need for the school... except for a deluded fan base that fills stadiums while clinging to the fiction that it's the quality of education that wins on Saturday afternoons.

Along with the loss of innocence is the reality that college alumni are the recipients of the largesse of OPM, other people's money. And perhaps it best that we consider this rather than opening a vein after a disappointing afternoon loss at Autzen....or Athens.

Scott's latest War Room column:

Oregon has locked in an official visit for June 17-19 for Austin (Texas) Westlake four-star defensive end Colton Vasek after making his top five this evening. Here's the latest:

A pick for the Ducks ...

Another pick for the Ducks here:

Recent Oregon WR commit Ashton Cozart didn't want to do interviews when he announced his flip from Oklahoma to the Ducks last week, but we caught up with him in Santa Monica, Calif., at the Clarkson QB Retreat over the weekend and he was happy to go in-depth with our Jeff McCulloch.

Really good interview here:

This is my 10,000th post! I have a simple message…. It’s Go Ducks!
Thanks DSA.

Ducks face Michigan who won the Big 10 tournament, Louisville is the #12 overall seed. It is not too bad of a draw. These teams have strong offenses so it should be exciting games
