I always find the idea of _______ or bust to be an interesting mentality. The season is a book and each game is its own little chapter in that book. If Oregon wins the National Championship this year that makes this an INCREDIBLE year and you put that book on the shelf as a part of a longer Oregon Football history. But if we fail to reach the title game or a semi final game or whatever was this season just a waste? Personally, I have enjoyed the journey so far this year (minus the one bump) and I am excited to see how it all ends, though I would personally love to see it end on a win and there is only one way that happens. Maybe I just don't get on the "bust" mentality. I want a national title as much as any other Duck fan but I know that each season brings its own story and I'm here for that.

My expectation going into this year with no context, was one playoff win. I definitely want to win it all, and think we have a shot, but it really is a crapshoot once you enter the tournament. Context is everything. If we win the first and second round, but then lose by 1 point to an undefeated team that goes on to win at all, it would be tough not to call that a great season. Likewise, winning against JMU, but then losing to Tech would meet my original expectation, but would also be very disappointing. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity…but good opportunity is way better than bad 😆

Eugene is predicted to get FIVE INCHES today, as much rain in a month coming down in one day? It is supposed to let up on Saturday morning...

On one of the pay-sites....someone reported a video made by a CFB content creator where Dak Moore was actually interviewed. He explained the injury, and when run by a doctor who specializes in such injuries--the estimate was given that it would only take about six weeks to heal. And it was noted that we are right at six weeks at the moment!

It was an accurate slip, as it is not a "new" Pac-12, but a "New World" Mountain West. Those teams are targeting an NIL budget of only seven million a year, as it is all they can afford. Whew!

Freudian slip? Or just saying out loud what we here at OBD think! Either way, it's a very funny gaffe. I'm curious to see which of these 8 schools can compete with the likes of Tulane, or mighty JMU.

Appreciate you and all of the team members who work together to provide this outstanding resource! Excited to be here for another Natty Run! Or swim, as it may be Saturday...

Didn't realize Kirby Moore was Kellen brother. New Washington State coach makes 'Mountain West' blunder He may be right about where he is coaching sooner rather than later.

I agree Darren. "Four more" should be the mantra now. Agreed, JMU should be Liberty 2.0. TT, they are like sc, Iowa, ewe dub. Games we shouldn't lose and so far Dan has held serve since season 2. Semi, I hope it is Cig and frigid inside Mercedes Benz stadium for the serving of revenge. Natty, let someone else leave in the bride's maid outfit, my closet is full enough.

On this week's episode of Talkin' Ducks, Jordan Kent, Aaron Fentress, Anthony Newman, and George Wrighster preview Oregon's first-round playoff matchup again.

Darren, for Happy to be HappyToBeADuck, the thought that OBD's don't win their first Natty has not entered my mind! This old Duck is a homer whose 30,000 foot view comes thru green and yellow colored glasses. Coupled with Duck bias filled to the brim with confidence for 4 more CFP victories. First Round Game: I will be didappointed if the Ducks dont cover the spread, Dante plays past the first 2nd half Duck possession and the #3's and #4's don't get significant playing time. Second Round Game: I will be disappointed if the Duck D allows TT 17 points. DL has plenty of bulletin board material for both sides of the ball to be motivated. Semifinals: If OU or Bama get past IU in their second round game, I will be disappointed. This Duck fan wants a rematch with IU and a chance to wipe that smirk off Cignettis face. (He has earned the right to wear that smirk. Now OBD's need to earn the right to wipe that smirk off into the off srason.) Natty: Whether it's Georgia or tOSU in the title game it matters not. The last time we faced either of these teams they wiped the field clean with the Ducks. That is enoigh reason for any team. End Result: Oregon Ducks National Chsmpions!

The next atmospheric river has now arrived. We're finally getting some snow in the cascades. Check out Tripcheck, Though a few cameras are out.

Good news to see DT Immanuel Bush probable. He is JMU’s 348 lb DT and second strongest player on the team. While he won’t make a ton of sacks or TFLs , he does command 2 blockers every play which frees up the other defenders to be freed up and cause problems.

It is my belief that if this season is to be considered a “success,” the Ducks must at least advance to the CFP semifinals. Here are my thoughts on all potential outcomes: A First-Round Loss: The only way the Ducks could ... Semifinals or Bust for the Ducks

And Jordon Davison lined up in the backfield and Dak Moore just on the field as well. Though in truth I think Johnson will be a bigger threat next year than Harrison just because he'll be more polished. But the future is absolutely bright at Oregon.

Imagine red zone passing downs with Gatlin Bair heading for one corner of the end zone and Kendre Harrison the other.

I'm moved.

I'm not surprised. He's pretty good and works hard... But pretty good doesn't get you on the field with the Ducks. He got knocked out of the rotation this year by freshman and transfers. He got back in rotation because of injuries. And next year he'll probably be out of the rotation by some up and coming redshirts and true freshman. All the power to him in finding a place to play. He's been a benefit to the Ducks for sure and stepped up when his number was called.

Perfect!

Saturday Down South likes OBD B1G - I differ on his picks of Bama over Oklahoma and Miami over A+M - But his pick of Ole Miss isn't Lame 😁 Saturday Down SouthPredictions for each Round 1 Playoff gameWhat will the first round of the 2025 College Football Playoff look like? Let's predict the weekend action.

Initial availability report for Saturday’s CFP game: Questionable: WR Dakorien Moore, WR Gary Bryant Jr., DB Sione Laulea, DB Trey McNutt, WR Evan Stewart Out: OL Gernorris Wilson, RB Da’Jaun Riggs, WR Kyler Kasper, WR Justius Lowe, DB Solomon Davis I believe there can be daily updates Thursday, Friday ...and final 90 minutes before kickoff.

Sweet threads!

I am sure that this me doing something wrong (or because I am using Safari), but In the HTML editor, the GIF search never yields results for me. I use a work around, but thought I would add it here in case it is a wider issue. Thanks for the continuous improvement on the site!

Beautiful . . . simply beautiful.
