Re: Kelly Graves' Twitter message to the fans
They should be extra careful and cancel next season so that we won't have to go through that horrible rebuilding season. What I'm worried about is this Virus is going to magically disappear in time for next season when Sabrina has graduated and our team is 5th in the Pac 12. The one good thing is they won't have to worry about many fans being there after they drop a few games. I love the lady ducks but I don't think I'll ever get over this to the point I can watch woman's basketball.greenyellow wrote:

Re: Kelly Graves' Twitter message to the fans
Haha, I like that somehow canceling a season avoids a rebuilding season. Like an extra year of getting 0 experience would make those players somehow better. This isn't a video game where the players ratings just go up each year. They actually need to learn from playing in games.duck023 wrote:They should be extra careful and cancel next season so that we won't have to go through that horrible rebuilding season.

Re: Kelly Graves' Twitter message to the fans
Lets face it the upcoming freshmen could practice in the hyperbolic time chamber 2 years and they'd come as close to Sabrina as me coming to Goku. Still I think a year of practice will make them better than if you threw them out there raw.droop10 wrote:Haha, I like that somehow canceling a season avoids a rebuilding season.

Re: Kelly Graves' Twitter message to the fans
I'm totally heartbroken...I can only imagine what the team is feeling. That being said.....
Horrible rebuild? What are u taking about? Oregon has excellent players returning and the #1 recruiting class coming in.
Wanna know who had the #1 class last year? South Carolina....the only team still ranked higher than Oregon this year...Oregon is in a very simiilar position as SC was going into next year.

Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Re: Kelly Graves' Twitter message to the fans
It is a shame that this great basketball team will not have the chance to play for the championship. Watching Sabrina & Ruthy & Satou & Minyon & Taylor and Erin & the rest of the Lady Ducks was a pleasure that I can't find an equal to in my 50+ years of watching and loving the Ducks.

Re: Kelly Graves' Twitter message to the fans
They ought to just take #1 and #2 in both men's and women's BB and let them play in some small gym somewhere with a couple TV cameras
This country needs some type of distraction!

Re: Kelly Graves' Twitter message to the fans
I hope you are right. I was wondering if I would be too depressed to watch next season but I'll definitely watch them and support them. I really hope you are right about that South Carolina prediction. It sucks losing basically the Michael Jordan of woman's basketball but North Carolina did win championships after Jordan maybe the Ducks will get lucky to make up for the bad luck this year.bigsugarduck wrote:I'm totally heartbroken...I can only imagine what the team is feeling.

Hey...not saying they are going to do what SC did this year, but their floor appears to quite high, say top 15 perhaps.duck023 wrote:I hope you are right.

1 seed? Longshot...
2 or 3 seed? Sure, why not...
