When I started writing this (Friday evening) I had ZERO knowledge of Darron Thomas foregoing his senior year.  Having met Darron in the off-season last year and watching him prep the incoming receivers and seeing how hard he trained, and how much of a teacher and leader he was, I just like everyone reading this was shocked at the news …

It all began, as far as I could tell, at about mid-morning Saturday when Fecta23 tweeted there might be some not-so-good news coming soon in Duckland. Well, that’s what I understand Fecta23 opined.

Greetings Fish Friends!

 Well, there you have it folks. It was Oregon celebrating in Pasadena and hoisting the Rose Bowl trophy on Monday night. It is the Ducks’ first BCS win in a decade, and first Rose Bowl win in 95 years. Duck fans no longer need to point to the 1917 team as being the most recent champions of the annual show down of East vs West. …
