Ifo Bomaye and I are back for our last scheduled episode of Addicted To Quack. We are going through the football roster and giving our year-end awards. We select our most improved, most under-appreciated, most fun, and breakout player for this year on offense and defense. We also give our prediction for who the breakout player will be next year. Th…

Ifo Bomaye and I are back after taking a week off and luckily not much happened. First, we talk about Mario Cristobal as our new head coach. We discuss the other coaches that were interviewed including Leavitt, Sumlin, and Harsin. No coach was a perfect candidate and we weight the pros and cons for each. Ifo Bomaye and I disagreed on our preferred …

Oregon put the Beavers in the dirt in the 2017 Civil War game. In all three phases of the game, Oregon looked completely prepared for anything that came at them. Special teams, offense, and defense, dominated all four quarters. With some of the talk coming from Oregon State athletes leading up to the game, and on the O in Autzen, it wasn’t much of …

fo Bomaye and I are back for a new bag with some of the most potent quack. Obviously, we open with our recap of the win over Arizona. Leavitt’s gameplan was executed phenomenally by the defensive line and the secondary. We liked seeing so much fire on defense, even though it sometimes led to penalties. One of the biggest takeaways we both had from …

The Ducks are back after a win over the bye week. We open the pod with the odds of Justin Herbert making the start on Saturday. If he doesn’t play then we can probably expect an offensive performance similar to what we saw against UCLA. If Herbert does get the start, what can we reasonably expect from someone who hasn’t played a game in six weeks? …

So Saturday’s game was very not chill. After a good start to the game a couple breaks went the Huskies’ way. There was a very small window of opportunity for Oregon to pull out the win without some serious help from PAC-12 After Dark. A red zone fumble and a punt return for a touchdown later and the game was out of hand. I do want to give a quick s…

Ifo Bomaye and I begin the pod with recapping the loss to UCLA out in Pasadena. We talk about what we can expect from the offense and we have pretty different opinions of where the unit is headed. I talk about the play-calling but really think that the calls indicate something that runs much deeper on offense. There are a couple pitfalls we can hav…

Ifo Bomaye and I are back after quite the weekend in college football. A lot of top-25 teams went down and there were fewer undefeated teams than there were the week prior. The PAC-12 results only lead to more questions now that we are over halfway into the season. How does Cal go from giving up 40 points to an Oregon team that was with a backup qu…

Throughout this podcast both of us sound pretty negative at times. But we are actually pretty optimistic about the rest of the season. We move on to recapping the game against Washington State. The strides that the defense has made have been nothing short of astonishing. Leavitt is getting paid a lot by the athletic department but he has certainly …

News broke yesterday (at the time of the recording) about four schools, apparel companies, and players, that are involved in bribery and other possible financial crimes. Ifo Bomaye and I talk about the implications of what the investigation means, the role of bag men, and what it could mean for Oregon. Obviously, we move on to the Arizona State gam…

Ifo Bomaye and I are back after taking a week off. Due to my travel schedule I didn’t have the opportunity to get on a skype call. Luckily, (or unfortunately) we saw some of the same themes across both the Wyoming and the Nebraska game. We both agree that the issue is on the offense but we have different opinions of what that can be. I mention a fe…

THE HYPE MACHINE IS IN FULL EFFECT AND WE ARE ALMOST OUT OF KOOL-AID. The first rule of week 1 is that nothing is as good as it seems and nothing is as bad as it seems. Oregon beat Southern Utah by a lot, and Southern Utah is Southern Utah at the end of the day, but Oregon did what they were supposed to do. There are a couple takeaways from the gam…

Ifo Bomaye and I have the great fortune of doing a preview of college football game. A singular college football game. We open the podcast doing a quick preview of Southern Utah, and by that we talk about how Southern Utah’s experience could counter some of the youth and talent Oregon has. After that we go through the depth chart and pick out some …

Rusty and Ifo Bomaye return for a new episode of Slingin’ Quack to break down the roster. We use some loose depth chart projections by the Oregonian and what we read in the practice reports to get a feel for where things may land. We start on the offensive side of the ball. The backup quarterback is where the question marks come in. How could the w…

Ifo Bomaye and I return for the second division in the PAC-12 conference, the south. The story of this division is that USC is the king of the hill and the rest of the teams are toss-ups. Each school has a big question mark that will be the deciding factor for their season.โดย Slingin Quack

Ifo Bomaye and I unite for a long podcast on the PAC-12 North. We go through the PAC-12 media conference projections starting with washington, followed by Stanford, Washington State, briefly Oregon, Oregon State, and then Cal. Unfortunately, washington is probably going to be over on their 10 win over/under line set by Vegas. They have great coachi…

Sean and I are back for a primer on the Oregon football season. It’s a bit a of a meandering conversation as we weave our way through a variety of topics. We peruse the performance of both the offense and defense to start the pod off. The chart that I reference is in Bill C’s analysis on the Ducks. Darren Carrington had just committed to Utah when …

It’s been a while but the gang is back with another podcast. I’m joined by Ifo Bomaye to talk about a variety of topics. We open up with the Duck basketball stars making their way through the NBA summer league. Jordan Bell and Tyler Dorsey have signed contracts with their NBA teams. While recording the podcast we get distracted a couple times by th…

A new edition of Slingin’ Quack is here! It’s been a long layoff but Ifo Bomaye and myself are back. We open the podcast talking about basketball recruiting. Ifo Bomaye walks us through the players who have signed and some of the implications moving forward including Brian Bowen. I’m continually impressed by how Altman is able to pull together an a…

Slingin’ Quack is back for a preview episode of the sweet 16 matchup against Michigan. We open the show with a brief discussion on the women’s basketball program, which toppled Duke to advance in the women’s NCAA basketball tournament. Kelly Graves has done a great job of turning the team around from what it was in 2014. We move on to discuss the g…

Rusty and Sean are back after a few months of scheduling conflicts. We briefly revisit the Oregon football staff and recap what has made up the first two months of the Taggart era. Both Sean and I are pumped most about Leavitt and Cristobal. The recruiting season isn’t over just quite yet because former Clemson DT Scott Pagano is visiting Oregon an…

We are back after a couple weeks away. Scheduling continues to be a doozy. However, I think this episode went pretty well. Because we have run out of time to talk about basketball in the past we open with them in the most recent episode. The team is fresh off a solid set of wins but are headed into a tough stretch of games over the next month. We f…

Rusty and a special guest are in studio together! The holidays have brought us together but it seems the difficult seating arrangement makes it a little difficult to clearly hear both of us at different times. At one point we talk about getting this on the web the night of recording, but obviously, that didn’t happen. It has clearly been a while si…

I had a guest fill in since Sean and I have conflicting hours a lot of the time but this is a great pod. We talk about what Helfrich’s firing means for the Oregon athletic department and how it could be influenced by the current state of college athletics. Both of us recognize that there are valid reasons for his firing but we both think that Helfr…

In the latest edition of the podcast we start with breaking down the loss at USC. There were some bright spots to take away but the team was clearly outmatched by a better team. Some of the inexperience really showed but there are some players that have really stood out. This weekend Oregon plays Stanford. We talk about Stanford’s strengths and wea…

I am joined by Saman Djabbari of the USC Podcast “Traveler Hates Thursdays.” You might remember that we did a pod with them earlier this year. We open up talking about the different dynamic that Sam Darnold provides the USC offense that Max Browne didn’t. Sam Darnold is also is willing to take risks, unlike last year’s starter Cody Kessler who was …

We open talking about what the second half of the Cal game meant to each of us. There are some football players that stood out to us both on the field and in some leadership roles that some have taken upon themselves. Rob Moseley tweeted out a potential depth chart for next year and there were a couple players that were obviously missing who are no…

Rusty Ryan joined by a special guest discuss the game against Colorado, current state of the program, and preview Washington State.โดย Slingin Quack

So this last weekend was very not chill. A lot of not chill things happened. Oregon dropped their first game of the season to Nebraska. The Ducks ran for over 300 yards and didn't have a turnover, which normally would lead one to believe that it would be a Duck win. However, when you have over 120 yards in penalties, you're going to have a bad time…

Sean and I are back for another episode of Slingin’ Quack. Oregon had a 44-26 win over Virginia and for some reason a lot of people think the end is nigh. However, the sun did come up the next morning, and we know that because I sat in traffic on my way home from work.โดย Slingin Quack

Rusty and Sean talk about the win over FCS opponent UC-Davis. There is a certain mythbuster segment going over the three phases of the game. They take a quick look around the conference, talk about the size of players, and the game against Virginiaโดย Slingin Quack

Rusty Ryan is back to host Slingin' Quack with a longtime friend filling in. We talk about what we want to see against UC-Davis, look at the football schedule, analyze the depth chart, and take a look at the conference at-large.โดย Slingin Quack

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson are back after a short delay. The two talk about the Oregon Spring game, which includes: The QBs, Pharoah Brown, Devon Allen & the receivers, and the new 4-3 D. Since Oregon is a T&F school we've got some awards to talk abtโดย Slingin Quack

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson are back to preview the NFL Draft and the Oregon Spring Game this Saturday. DeForest Buckner is the only Duck that will go on Day 1 and all signs point to him going to the 49ers. We also talk about what we need to see in the spring game on Saturday.โดย Slingin Quack

Rusty and Sean meet up after Oregon's amazing stretch to the elite eight in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. They talk about the upcoming Oregon Football season, spring practices, Devon Allen running track, and the QB race.โดย Slingin Quack

Sean and Rusty are back after a long layoff with a whole bunch of quack. The two talk about the basketball team and the amazing success it has had quietly, the Ducks at the combine, and what the Titans should do with their NFL Draft pick.โดย Slingin Quack

This last week in Oregon sports had zero chill. Oregon dropped the biggest lead in the history of college football bowl games. Also, Oregon basketball lost the PAC-12 opener to Oregon State. Sean and I spend a lot of time looking at the positives coming up. We looked at the roster in terms of who was coming back, projecting some lineups, and Dakota…

We're back! Took a couple weeks off because of the holidays and we figured not that many people would listen, nor did our schedules line up. But! Comin' to you live from Hamsterdam we've got a lot of quack. First, we talk about the Oregon football game against the TCU Horned Frogs. There's the obvious conversation about Trevone Boykin, whom I wrote…

Oregon beat Oregon State in the 119th Civil War game. The first half saw Oregon's defense absolutely control the Oregon State offense, outside of the first drive. The second half saw the Oregon defense completely check out of the game mentally and give up an embarrassing amount of success to the Beavers. Scott Frost has left his role as offensive c…

Both Oregon football and Oregon basketball had big wins this last week. Basketball beat Valparaiso, a tournament team last year, 73-67 at Matthew Knight Arena. Shortly after beating Baylor, the Ducks have a couple of the best wins in the country thus far this season. It is really exciting to have a team that is so clearly excelling this early and h…

We got almost too much quack this week so we tried our best to make sure we got everything in on a shortened timeline. The first thing Sean and I talk about is the performance of the Oregon basketball defense. The offense really struggled at times but the defense forced 18 turnovers and got 28 points off of them. Five players had over 10 points. Bo…

After last weeks difficulties we are back! Sean and I spend a lot of time going over the win against Arizona State and Cal. Both games showed signs of improvement for their own reasons. This team is clearly getting better as the season goes on and I think they'll be able to finish strong. Looking at the team we saw against Eastern Washington, Georg…

With Halloween this weekend and the Ducks' playing on a Thursday night (allowing me to not have to schedule my day around the game) the festivities will be in full force. Might be a three-day weekend for a lot of us because it's not like people will be able to function after a Duck game anyways. Oregon has Vernon Adams back along with Darren Carrin…

Oregon and Washington squared off in Seattle this past weekend and Oregon came away with a big win. It looked like the streak might come to an end during an off year but the return of Darren Carrington, Vernon Adams, and the front seven actually living up to their expectations. There are big positives and negatives to take away from the game. How m…

Normally I try to come up with funny titles but this was just too wild to not make it as the headline. You'll have to listen through to find it though. CLICKBAIT FTW. Sean and I talk about the Colorado game and what the stats say. Obviously, we talk about the defense and how it has gotten worse over the last couple years. But is the secondary reall…
