Oregon baseball holds firm in polls ahead of trip to No. 1 UCLAA 3-1 record for the week helped the Ducks stay put in the national rankings. In the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll, Oregon maintained its position at No. 14. Oregon State slipped two spots to No. 8 after a pair of losses last week, putting them on the bubble for a hosting bid in the regional round. The Ducks come in at No. 27 in the RPI rankings, and a couple of big series against the schools from Los Angeles over the next two weeks could see the Ducks sliding into position to bring a regional back to Eugene. In the D1Baseball rankings, which are commonly used by teams as the official rankings, the Ducks also held firm at No. 13. Oregon could take another jump next week after traveling to face No. 1 UCLA this weekend. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/baseball/2026/05/04/oregon-baseball-rankings-stands-firm-washington-ucla/89931187007/

Predicting the Oregon Ducks' starting offense after the end of spring practicesSpring practices are in the books for the Ducks after Oregon wrapped up it's Spring game last weekend. Heading into 2026, the expectations are National Championship or bust as Dan Lanning brings back a ton of talent to supplement some exciting additions via the Transfer Portal. Plenty of eyes will be on the Oregon offense this season as Dante Moore looks to become QB1 in the loaded 2027 NFL Draft class. Aside from Dante Moore, this unit has a ton to be excited about with the pieces around Dante Moore. The cast of weapons is deep as Oregon should be able to rotate at receiver and running back to keep everyone fresh for the entire year. The concern may be getting the offensive line to gel after the NFL Draft took key pieces from the unit, but the talent is all there.

Lots of fun reading/listening to The Duck and of course the hated Roboduck. I found Oregon’s lost mascot Roboduck. | Sideline.ArchiveMeet the 3 Ducks fans who have reawakened a polarizing mascotIn 2002, the University of Oregon debuted a new duck mascot. One year later he was gone. Roboduck vanished for 23 years. This is the story of how we found him. After Nike and Phil Knight revitalised a struggling Oregon Ducks football programme in the mid-1990s, the question of the Oregon Duck mascot arose. Who actually owned Donald Duck, or Puddles the Duck? Could he rise with the school and quarterback Joey Harrington, a Heisman Trophy candidate and the face of Pac-10 football? Or was he rooted firmly to the ground by a complex copyright relationship with Disney? This is the story of Eugene, Oregon: a small, misty town in America's Pacific Northwest, a transformation, and a Frankenstein-esque tale of innovation gone too far. After his debut at Autzen Stadium in 2002, Roboduck (also known as Mandrake, Steroid Duck, and Duck Vader) vanished for 23 years. There were few sightings of him around Eugene. Even the UO athletic department had no idea where he had gone. So we embarked on a duck hunt, across Oregon Ducks history, through the rise of one of college football's most iconic programmes: to find the most hated college mascot in NCAA history. And unearth the ACTUAL story of Roboduck. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/05/meet-the-3-ducks-fans-who-have-reawakened-a-polarizing-mascot.html It’s ‘The Duck,’ not ‘Puddles’: A definitive history of the Oregon mascothttps://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2024/10/its-the-duck-not-puddles-a-definitive-history-of-the-oregon-mascot.html

Oregon gridiron fans eager for 2026 as two major worries lingerLike Bob Marley's three little birds, the kids will be all right. Entering their fifth season as the masterminds of the Oregon juggernaut, head coach Dan Lanning and Chief of Staff Marshall Malchow have crafted a brilliantly constructed roster with two major potential flaws: They're replacing three starters on the offensive line, one an All-American, and inside linebacker Bryce Boettcher's 136 tackles are bound for rookie mini-camp with the Indianapolis Colts.

"What I do know is that we're going to have a stronger team in a lot of ways next year because of the experience those guys were able to get. They all took it and said, 'let's charge forward and figure out what's next.'"

The Oregon Ducks equipment surplus sale has long carried a Christmas morning feel for fans: racks of team-issued gear, rare finds and limited pieces all available for purchase. But according to collectibles insider Darren Rovell, that same tradition also opens the door to a larger conversation about value in today’s NIL era. Rovell, a longtime collector and founder of Cllct, points to Oregon as the No. 1 most powerful brand in the collectibles space and believes the program sits at the center of where the market could be heading. When Rovell posted on X that Oregon is leaving millions of dollars on the table, Oregon Ducks on SI reached out to him to get further context. The sale is set for Saturday, May 2, at the Moshofsky Center next to Autzen Stadium, running from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or until all items are sold. Past sales have included limited-edition Nike gear. As NIL and memorabilia intersect in today's college football, Rovell’s perspective highlights both the demand surrounding Oregon’s gear and the broader evolution of the collectibles market.

Oregon Target Anthony Cartwright III Turns Heads With Recruiting UpdateA massive Oregon Ducks recruiting target releases huge news in his recruiting timeline. The visit slate will begin with the Spartans, who are scheduled to get him in on May 29. This is likely to be his lone visit in May when it comes to his schedule, but anything can change at any moment. He will follow that visit up with a trip to Miami on June 5. This is just one week after visiting the Spartans. These two visits will set the tone for his third and final visit, which is slated to be with the Ducks on June 19. This is two weeks after his Miami visit. Big Ten Program Battles to Earn Official Recruiting VisitThis means one or two things: either Cartwright will take a gap weekend, or he is going to visit someone around the 12th of the month. If he were to take a gap, this could be considered a major advantage for the Ducks, as they would not only be gaining his final visit (recency bias could factor in), but he would also have time in between to let the high of visiting another program wear off. It is likely that teams will push for him to visit on this date, and the one to watch out for is Michigan.

Jhop's Post-Spring Big Ten Power RankingsI’ve read a lot of Big Ten rankings. Some before and some after the conclusion of Spring ball for most. (Washington’s is Friday night) It feels like most have Ohio State as the team to beat. And typically Oregon next at the No. 2 spot. I think for me you could argue either one and I think the difference between the two is pretty thin. Both are really good teams. So I’ll offer mine up with that caveat above noting I really see them as 1A and 1B more than anything else. After that, well, pick your poison. Oregon – I have the Ducks at No. 1 because I think they are a more complete team than Ohio State. We all watched Ohio State players fill the first round of the NFL draft, the top ten even, and you are going to convince me they are better? I don’t buy it. They are good, but no way they are better. Again, just my two cents. Ohio State – Like I said, they are good and the schedule isn’t a killer for them. I will not be remotely surprised if we are watching these two battle for the Big Ten championship at the end of the regular season. Indiana – Like Ohio State, I have a tough time believing this is a more talented team than last season. But I do believe in Curt Cignetti and his coordinators and the fact they are incredible coaches. I’m certain they will be good and a team you hate facing. But I do think there is a difference between the two above and Indiana and everyone below. Penn State – Yeah I know, I’m crazy right? Well try and convince me there is an easier schedule among the teams in my 3-7 range. No Oregon. No Ohio State for Matt Campbell and his new energy. I think PSU is poised to surprised and might even make it into the playoffs with some luck. Like I said, I know I’m crazy. (But possibly right.) USC – I’m an Oregon homer sure but I’m not dumb. This is a HUGE season for Lincoln Riley to quiet the ‘fire Riley’ chants. Which of course have gone away in the offseason once again. He made a move at DC, which might be lateral? If it’s an improvement, I like the fact he returns his quarterback and did recruit some players on the LOS. The schedule isn’t easy but it’s manageable. Iowa – Kind of a sneaky pick here. They will be tough each and every week. They will pound you. They will play a consistent level of football. They have Ohio State but they don’t have Oregon or Indiana or Penn State. Watch out for the Hawkeyes. Michigan – The only reason I have Michigan even this high is because I believe they made the best hire of the offseason. They will be tough, balanced, disciplined. The problem is they will only go as far as Bryce Underwood takes them. That right there is the gamble for this team. They also have an absolutely BRUTAL schedule with all of my top four teams and Oklahoma. Washington – The only reason I have Washington this high is I believe the quarterback they sued into returning is a good player. He will make some plays for UW and probably help them win a game or two they shouldn’t. I don’t think this team overall is better than last year’s team however and that is going to be trouble for Jedd Fisch as he once again tries to get out of Seattle at season’s end. UCLA – Yes I’m crazy. Just watch. UCLA will make a surprise run that most don’t see coming. And the schedule isn’t a tough one. Illinois – Thought they had a team last year only to disappoint. I don’t think it will happen two years in a row. On3Jhop's Post-Spring Big Ten Power RankingsSince everyone else is doing one, I figured I might as well. The Big Ten is one of, if not the most competitive conferences in football. Your season could be one or lost with an injury, having just a
