I love how they forget how he didn't even have the interest to pick up the phone for Bama but he'll definitely take over at Florida.

Three wins against three different OSUs in one year? Yes, please!

Perhaps a B1G championship showdown between our teams?

And with all of this concern, I think Moga could get us through some games with the first unit.

Congrats to the Ducks on a nice showing Saturday. While I am personally a fan of Gundy, I was happy to see you guys apply a little “belt to a$$” as the young kids say. Anyone heading to Chicago for your game Saturday? If you find your way to Giordano’s Pizza, I recommend you order about half as much as you normally would. I’ll be making my way to SEC country next weekend for Georgia/Tennessee with my in laws. Will be interesting to compare the atmosphere to an OSU game.

“I should have fired myself…” — Coach Gundy

What a difference a week makes. Last week I thought FPI was the most nonsensical ranking system I'd ever seen, but now I have no problem with it.

Ironically, it was the 2019 line recruited by Helfrich that was the best MC ever had.

This is the first season where Dan has felt comfortable enough to put the backups in around halftime, and the sheer volume of "1st team" rotation players feels very different too. This feels very national championship like for that reason alone. Like the Mariota days.

That you're an idiot, or that Limar is good. 🤪 KIDDING! I'm less surprised that Jayden has stepped up than I am with Hughes lack of playing time.

January 1, 2025, was a B1G Bad Day. That's Day squared. 😒 Laying a Huge Duck Egg before the Sun started to disappear behind the San Gabriel's resonates. I think everyone from the top down is dialed in. Those who haven't completely bought-in are suspened or spend time on the pine. I recall feeling the same about Georgia the season after Tua broke the Dawgs hearts. Will we see the same results? It isn't easy to overcome a figurative and literal decapitation. 😁Quack! Waste the Wildcats!

I prefer to call it a SWAG a Scientific WAG. I had my reasons posted why I thought we could put up over 60, although pick 6s weren't one of them. Gundy playing to go home on the last drive was the bad beat for me. He wanted to get the heck out of Autzen as fast as possible rather than try to put up any more points on the board.

Ugh! I was robbed! LoL. This is Oregon. We need a 'The Price is Right Rule" where if you guess the highest offensive score of anyone and the Ducks score more than that, you're an automatic winner. LoL Where heck is Bob Barker to back me up on this?

Continuing FGD’s theme from above, I feel the competition for playing time this year is real. The guys that are the 1s seem to have the focus of knowing how close the 2s are. The 2s seem to know the 3s are right on their heels as well. If Mariota’s ‘14 team had anything close to this amount of depth, they win the Natty. Still a long way to go of course and the competition hasn’t been stellar but this does feel different.

"Coach Gundy....12 new coaches are not enough."

Be prepared to see this often from a ton of fan bases...

I don't recall a time where we have had a lack of fall-off... Generally a big drop in production when backups take over the game. I recall Mr @Charles Fischer a few years ago talking about how the team didn't quite meet the eyeball test, winning record nonetheless (I think that was back in the Mario days). So far, my eyeballs are very very happy with the speed, blocking, focus, lack of idiotic penalties, & teamwork. I feel like this team will continue to grow!

Urban Meyer: "I haven't seen that in many, many years."

That looks like the Kink of the Kowboyz!

None of us saw a 66 point beatdown coming! Congrats to both Solar and VegasDuck on an impressive WAG. Looking forward to shucking some corn next week!

Speaking of blocking...

This does feel different so far. Last year we only scored more than 40 points three times, Oregon State, Washington and Penn State. Never broke 50. Last year had some very sleepy third quarters and it was the norm that Oregon would score 0 points in the third. The game may tighten up and they'd put up some points on the 4th to put it away. As a result Gabriel was in the game through 4 quarters quite regularly. Moore this year is doing what Nix did in 2023... Get the job done and taking a seat. The blocking does feel better and the defense feels like they are improving as well. The 2024 team was probably worse than 2023, we just were ill equiped to deal with the Huskies. Everyone else we disposed of. This season feels similar... We are the better team so far and Oregon is demolishing teams in the first two weeks. Something is different but in a good way.
