The RB, Reichle, 295 yards, gets a ton of credit, but my "step nephew" 6'3" 250 Jr., leads the OL which is on a roll. So proud..

From the O.

"The running back ran violently, a style he says he picked up from getting his “butt whooped” by his older Division I-playing brothers Gabe and Zach. While the Pacers’ offensive line created clean seams all evening, Reichle rarely went down on first contact, often dragging swaths of Irish defenders with him to the ground."

“Hats off to the offensive line,” he added, “Across the board (they) average 220 pounds. They do a tremendous job of making lanes and then of course if you give him a lane he’s going to hit it.”

Iirc, LR also has a young, Soph, I think, WR who already has offers piling up and is projected as a high 4 star.

Next up, West Linn, right down the street.

Man these late games are really killing the concept of tailgating. Too many of our members skew out of town and do not tend to come to late games. Nonetheless, I will be there as always. We do have HAND CRAFTED burgers today (thank you to my wife for mixing them and pressing the patties!) along with hot dogs, chips, salsa, guacamole and, of course, beverages of many kinds (including adult).

Not sure which game I will watch -- may watch ASU-UW and cheer for a 2-0, 10 OT snooze fest with ASU winning because UW gets stuck in 3rd and 48 on their 2-point attempt with ASU recovering the ball and returning it for the 2-point score!

Here is the location:

Watched this game and came away even more impressed with the way this team is shaping up, Ducks up 84-59 with less than a minute left. Great all around game for the team. It is scary to think how good they might be by the end of the year with Altman’s teams peaking later in the year. This might be a year they could challenge for another final four

We are 7 games into the season. If Brown was not the best QB on the team, he would not be playing. All the people calling for Ty Thompson to play have no idea what they are taking about. WE DON'T SEE PRACTICE. There is now way in hell that Brown would be starting if there was a better option. Brown is not going to change. He is going to be inconsistent. In the 3rd quarter he played like Tom Brady. At the end of the game he threw two horrible interceptions that weren't even close. He has Redd wide open over the top and puts no air under the ball. The next play he has someone open on the sideline where he needs to put it on a line and he puts air under it. Before UCLA he has excellent stats in the 4th quarter. He has made great clutch plays throughout the season. He has also made bonehead decision in clutch situations. I feel he is a kid that cares and wants to do well. I also think he is a little bit of a head case, and cares about what people think about him. I never tell people who pay for their seats what to do, but I truly hope that there is no more booing in Autzen stadium. It does not help Brown, or the team. It does not help recruiting. It makes the program/ fans look BUSH LEAGUE.Its embarrassing to the program. Need to accept that he is inconsistent. He has more good plays than bad though. Duck fans need to redeem themselves and stick with him. I hope he gets a big ovation next Saturday. He has lead the team to a 6-1 record and top 10 ranking. He is the starting QB this season and it is not going to change. He will continue to make good plays and bad plays. Either way, back the kid up!!

Anyone else watching this? Could the ESPN guys do anymore to push for them to be in the playoff? Good Lord..they are just goin on and on..even said they had “the best win of any team in the country” referring to the Norte lame win.. then they put up the graphic showing they have 100th best SOS… think they answered their own question as to why they are not sniffing the playoff

Pretty cool award, and I didn't even know it existed. Darn shame he got injured.

Note: Our JC rankings are not out yet so he is unranked right now. Will easily be a four-star.

2023 Alabama APB Jeremiah Cobb has an offer from Oregon and likes the Ducks' offense. Might be a hard pull from the state of Alabama, but a relationship to watch.

Thank you so much to all of you for your service. We enjoy our freedom because of your efforts and time, I appreciate you all very much!

Aside from Cal and the Hushkies everyone in the conference won their openers , Colorado most uncomfortably and it took the Beave's a while to get going.

As to Oregon, my eyes still haven't become accustomed to recognizing players on the court due to the number of new faces, lack of research, and mostly age. What I saw was perhaps the least worrisome opener I've see in quite a while.

First joy was that Richardson is ready and leading, secondly that there is a LOT of talent on the floor and, satisfyingly, the team seems to be weeks ahead of where they usually are at this point. The only concerning thing is that all of the BIG's are not quite up to speed yet. Were used to seeing MIA talent due to preseason, or early season injuries where major resets have to be made while playing trams Oregon might dominate toward the end of the season. Nothing with great impact is testing the system in regard to opening night play. Knock on wood we don't lose anybody in the first few games

Dante looks like he is about to get back into action, but he has always seemed to be slower in recovery than we might hope. I expect him to have a much better game than he has had in the past when there were flashes but no great dominant presence over a large part of the game. Frank is at the point where he does some good things and looks a lot smoother but still commits enough fouls that there is going to be some nice substitute minutes needed. I missed part of the game and when I was watching I wasn't thinking about Biddle. He didn't flash anything for me if he was on the court. Those who saw the entire game and were watching closely might correct me on that. Johnson looks like he is not quite up to college speed yet after returning from a two year LDS mission and in his first NCAA minutes. Still the Ducks were the bigger and taller team so the inside game wasn't really challenged.

Guards and forwards showed me we are going to see a lot of open three point shots, with accuracy, once the front line solidifies. We knew about Richardson and he is back to full speed. Oregon may not have to suffer through a half season without his game as they did last year. I don't think we have a Duarte on the floor this year (the NBA happily does) but there seems to be a lot of balance to cover for it with the added benefit that losing one player of his quality due to injury or foul trouble isn't a potential problem.

Most impressive, particularly in a first game as a unit on the floor, was the defense. It's too early to know if that was the fault of the opponent or the impact of the home team. I tend to think, and hope, it was the latter. This team is going to get better once they gel yet they looked fairly cohesive and put out a lot effort at that end of the court. Most of the turnovers that Texas Southern, a school who's team left a scar on Oregon's home record by delivering the fourth loss in the arena, committed were not unforced errors. Most of their shots were not open looks.

There are so many ways Altman should be able to plan a game effectively if and, probably, when the group matures with a few more games under their belts. Four guards, four bigs (unlikely but possible) or anything in between are comfortably possible. A really nice thought is that his teams usually dramatically improve by the end of the season. As good as he is a getting quality players on the floor and assistants on the bench, he is at least as strong as a floor, and game, coach. One of these days the HOF committee is going to acknowledge it.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux has been selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the Walter Camp Player of the Year award, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced on Thursday.

The fourth-oldest college football award in the nation, the Walter Camp Player of the Year is voted on by the 130 FBS head coaches and sports information directors. Five finalists will be announced on December 2, and the winner will be revealed on ESPN’s College Football Awards Show on December 9.

Thibodeaux is one of two Pac-12 players among the 15 semifinalists, and one of four from the defensive side of the ball. He is one of just seven non-quarterbacks on the list.

The Los Angeles native is the sixth player in program history to be named a semifinalist or better for the Walter Camp Player of the Year, and the first UO defensive player ever to be a semifinalist. Marcus Mariota became the first Duck to win the award in 2014, and Justin Herbert was Oregon’s most recent semifinalist in 2019.
