Oregon Ducks 2023!

might be a lot of players considering it wanting to line up possible destinations before making the leap into the portal.

if Oregon lands Gabriel I have a hard time seeing Ty Thompson staying

also, some may be waiting to see which Oregon juniors declare for the draft

Portal closes 2 days after the bowl game

 

All great points! agreed!

Of note: The Fiesta Bowl is Jan 1st and the portal closes on Jan 2nd.

 

here's my assumption: there's no benefit, not on, none at all, for Oregon in the CW continuing. I know you don't agree. Lets leave it at that

 

The eye test. I watched him play. I don’t see someone who is in command. He’s the QB so he needs to look like he’s the head honcho. I don’t see it.

 

Some guys might be thinking they will get a chance in the bowl game to improve their stock in the portal.

 

I was asking these questions to try and figure out if that feeling was based on any facts or not wanting to play them was more of an emotional thing... All good on my end!

 

Outside of Ty playing, I can't really see a scenario where a bowl game against Liberty is really going to move the needle on how other teams feel about a players abilities.

 

maybe...I'd have to check the rules. If they enter the portal before the deadline they may be able to transfer before spring

the drawback is that they will likely not be enrolled for spring ball

 

for pure entertainment value, NIL and the transfer Portal is becoming more exciting than the NBA in July

 

not on X so can't see the results

I also am old enough to remember when X=Pornhub instead of X=Twitter

 

I'd sure go after Moore.

 

I'm a member of 2 Duck message boards and from what I see, it's about 60-65% of Duck fans opposed, so I ain't buying that twitter poll

to be fair, quite a few of the people opposed are pissed off about losing a home game in favor of going to Reser. Not happy with Oregon losing 7-9M in revenue from the TT game. There's been a lot of mention about the schedule UW wrangled from WSU and wondering why the Ducks didn't demand the same

but a lot of the opposition is against a home-and-home with a G5 program; about how there's no upside for Oregon and no downside for OSU

 

Oregon State could use a quarterback with Ty's arm. It would be a good opportunity for him to improve with a lot less pressure on him. Of course, he'd enter the portal once he gets his legs under him, but that's how the game is played these days.

Yeah, I know. Not happening.

 

you could be right....but you get a demerit for saying dichotomy in a sports forum. This isn't Oxford

 

Vocal minority can be the loudest.

My real life interations with both fan bases has it about 80/20 in favor of playing, but that doesn't mean that's the reality. Though now that I look at the poll, it's also 80/20, so maybe it is closer to that.
