Oregon Reloaded: The Ducks Are Built for the Big Ten
Connection. Growth. Toughness. Sacrifice. The Ducks DNA.
There are a few programs in college football that don’t flinch. They don’t rebuild. They reload—with intention, with alignment, with specific DNA Traits.
Oregon is one of those programs.
That isn’t just a tagline. It's how they live.
Connection. Growth. Toughness. Sacrifice. Those four words are stitched into the fabric of the Ducks’ culture. They’re not slogans; they’re standards.
As as their head coach Dan Lanning told the ballroom at Big Ten Media Days, “Our theme for this team is double down” I smirked, as this team may be even more talented one that went undefeated in Big Ten Conference play last fall.
Prior to Coach Lanning joining our set on Big Ten Network I told him, “Coach, I think you might be better than last year.” Per usual, he responded with “we will see, time to get to work.”
Speaking of getting to work, I’m off on a Training Camp Tour across the country and while on the road I wanted to share a few season previews of teams based on my off-season prep.
