The Nike Goddess wing design is from the statue in the Louvre in Paris, France. https://www.louvre.fr/en/explore/the-palace/a-stairway-to-victory

Get well brother, I appreciate your years of work here.

Yes, that Denzel. Hope this heading into Week 5 B1G Power Ranking provides some great movie memories and a few smiles. 😁😁😁 Off Tackle EmpireBig Ten Power Poll: Denzel EditionYour best source for Big Ten news, analysis and opinion from the fan perspective. Neuter the Nits!

I have many months of healing work to do, and I will not be able to walk well enough by then. But I know that NJDuck is going....perhaps something can be arranged?

On the play you are referring to...it was not a drop-back pass, but a rollout, IMHO. The Beavis DE read it perfectly and followed the pulling tackle to Dante as he was trying to roll left.

Bodes well for us against Penn State. Hoping we come out as No. 1.

One side of the helmet has OBD's "normal" wings and in a tribute to Bowerman/Knight, the other side of the helmet had wings patterned after Nike, the goddess of victory.

Hey Charles, Sorry about the back. I have been fighting that myself, (dang these old Ducks!). I have a stinking wedding to go to this weekend so I couldn’t make the white out, but I am only four hours away for Rutgers. Maybe if you’re better we can meet there?!

I plan on it. I’m parking in Lot 25. We’re going to walk to the stadium and catch the CATA blue line to the Old Main Lawn. Afterward, we’ll head back to the car to change clothes and get ready for the tailgate. There will likely be an ice cream stop at the creamery in there somewhere.

Health first my friend. At least you will have the big screen to yell at. GO DUCKS!

Will James, again, get the blame? Is James Franklin the guy who made Penn State great again...This is the season Penn State and James Franklin have been building toward: the chance to go from great to elite. Has his coaching been holding them back, or did just need a superior roster?

ESPN takes an in-depth look at OBD's uniforms. ESPN.com'Our tradition to is to be untraditional': Inside the lif...Throughout the past two and a half decades, Oregon has pushed the envelope when it comes to uniforms.

I like to have new helmets of each year for the avatars we all have when we post. As I was doing the photo-editing....I noticed for the first time that the wings on both sides of the helmets were different! How cool! Did any of you notice?

On3's J.D. PicKell unpacks why this Oregon Ducks team is Dan Lanning's best team to date ahead of their matchup with Penn State.

Dang Charles thats a dam bummer! If anybody should be there wearing the Oregon colors it should be you!!. So sorry man.---GO DUCKS!.

Yeah, back pain is no joke. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for all the great tips! If you were to guess, what is most likely kickoff time? I wish I could take the Cascade train but looks like the return wouldn’t work.

I would love to do a bucket-list of Big-10 Baseball parks, as I understand that Penn State has HUGE crowds for their baseball, and is also quite the home-field advantage. But I have no idea if they have "Baseball-Whiteouts" as they do in football!

Charles, Back pain is no joke. I feel for you and am sorry you are going to miss the game. Hopefully a Duck victory will help ease the pain a little. I won't be at the 2025 game either (for other reasons) but will see you at Beaver Stadium in 2028!

As ugly as PSU unis are I love to see plenty of yellow and green

I think we have had one sack. It was in the 3rd quarter against Oregon State. I remember thinking when it happened, "Oh well, get the first one out of the way." With the one exception of the Rose Bowl last year against Ohio State (8 sacks), Oregon has had an unprecedented run of protecting the quarterback. 2022 - 5 sacks (#1 in FBS) 2023 - 5 sacks (#1 in FBS) 2024 - 13 sacks (#10 in FBS minus 8 sacks vs. Ohio St. We also gave up 3 sacks to Idaho, and 4 to Boise St.) 2025 - 1 sack (#2 in FBS)

Sucks that you can't make the trip (I wish I could too!) but your health is more important. Get well soon!

And all the Big-10 teams that made the top 15? Oregon No. 1 Ohio State No. 2 Indiana No. 3 USC No. 5 Penn State No. 8 Michigan No. 14 Damn....this doesn't get any easier for us! (and THAT is why you have to build the trenches in the B1G!)

Charles, I'm so sorry you won't make it to the game. I know you had to have been looking forward to this for many months. Praying for the pain to quickly subside and for increased mobility. I so appreciate all the work you do for this forum.
