    Things I'm mad about today

    I'm pretty sure it is a gross generalization. So check your "self righeous" self out a bit.

    Things I'm mad about today

    Just got word today that the school I was at last year, asked if we can do two classes instead of one. One class continuing witht he kids from last year and a second class starting with new kids. We're pumped!!! Lot of work, but the kids are worth it!!

    Things I'm mad about today

    It's difficult to believe that someone who says they are a teacher would make the broad generalizations being made about "one Oregon student" transferring into a Tennessee school and believing that's the norm. I happened to have the opportunity to volunteer to teach fifth graders a "critical...

    OldTimer’s Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

    Ya know, I never thought of fishing in Crater Lake. Did a little search and apparently Rainbow and Kokanee Salmon were planted in the lake many decades ago. Artifical bait only. Interesting also, no license is required.

    Actually two islands, Wizard Island and Phantom Ship Island. Crater Lake is an amazingly beautiful place!!

    Josh Pate-Big Ten QB rankings

    I don't put much credibility into these kinds of lists. I will say as a Duck, I'm quite comfortable with how the QB room is shaping up. Dante Moore, great potential, some experience, needs to cut down on mistakes and he is very very capable of making the great play. Austin Novostad currently the...

    All things STOCKS

    Question: Who's going to buy those Fed bonds at the lower rates? And why? Assuming a 1-2% cut. For Example: A good quality Austrailian Bond is currently around 4.1% for a 10 year. I think other good quality foreign bonds are out there as well. I'm just saying foreign bonds may become an...

    Official: Vols hosting regional

    Maybe I didn't make my point clear, I wasn't talking about the seedings, I was talking about a change in the time of year when college baseball is played. And yes, Oregon has a horrible Q3 record this year.

    Official: Vols hosting regional

    Here's a little different angle on college baseball, now that my Ducks are in the Big 10, the reality of college baseball played in the northern midwest is that the weather is a big factor for the legacy Big 10 teams. I've seen one suggestion that the season be moved a bit starting later and...

    30 programs with delusions of grandeur. We are #7 if you dont want to read.

    LA has so many "other" teams to root for that they just follow the winner. Two NFL teams, two NBA teams, etc. I think they have around a dozen pro teams across various sports. Plus, who's going to go to football games when the "Surf is Up". Before I retired I actually had a meeting delayed in...

    Uniform/Helmet/Shoe design thread (merged)

    My favorite story about Oregon uniforms happened before I retired. A woman from Dalllas that I worked with who was a huge football fan (Univ of Texas alum) and her husband also a Texas grad have two boys who at that time were 10 & 12. All they wanted for Xmas were Oregon football jerseys. I just...

    The Browns have changed?

    I'd guess the Browns are looking for a trade with the situation they have in the QB room. Who knows, maybe they can trade Sanders for someone worthy of a second or third round pick. Gabriel might be reasonably successful as a bit of a sleeper QB. He's effective and experienced for a rookie...

    Where is Nico likely to land?

    Agree, but rumor is that one reason Chip Kelly left UCLA was lack of NIL type support.

    According to Will West, "negotiations" were always about getting more receivers, OL

    I think Oregon is set at QB for a while with Moore, Novostad and freshman Akili Smith Jr in the QB room. Plus, if it's true Lanning called Tenn about Nico, it certainly doesn't sound like he'll land in Eugene any time soon.
