I loved the article Charles! Thank you for making Our Beloved Duck Forum so awesome! Mike Tyson, "Everyone has a plan 'til they get punched in the mouth",

Historically speaking, getting involved with La Cosa Nostra (i.e. the Italian Mob) is never a good idea. Snitching on them is even worse. It looks like Gilbert Arenas is going to sleep with the fishes. Or, at the very least, end up with a horse head in his bed.

Thank you, Charles. I'm fired up and ready to watch OBD Give Us Fans Five! And while the loss to the Hoosiers hurts, it could work out perfectly for the Ducks. As we are painfully aware, last season playoff teams with lengthy byes went 0-4. The ultimate champ got off the mat after what would have been, in prior seasons, an end-of-the-season devastating loss, and won the whole enchilada. Looking down the road, all three of Oregon, Indiana, and Ohio State will be favored to win their last five games in the 2025 regular season. This happens, and OBD gets to take a nap on December 6th instead of playing a 13th game in Indianapolis. Let the Hoosiers and Buckeyes club one another in the mouth until they're both Rocky (sorry) while OBD, like Notre Dame, plays one fewer game against a Power 2 team before hosting a 1st round playoff game. At 11-1, OBD should host either the 12 or the 11 seed. Win this game and move on, with winning momentum, to play the third or fourth seed in the 2nd round. Recent bye-byes have not been good for OBD. Let's play ball at home in Round 1. Thanks also for highlighting the contributions of the newbies. It is so good to see highly rated recruits come in ready to ball out. And notwithstanding the indecisive play versus Indiana, hats off to the coaching staff for blending in portal players who are making an impact. Today's CFB is all about successful roster management. GO DUCKS - Wax Wisconsin! PS - Might I humbly inquire, what in Hades does a 'full spectrum live resin dab' look like, and do I need one in my aquarium? 😁

Charles, great analogy referencing the ancient Rocky movies, themes and life lessons. I support all your comments and strong view points. Especially how well DL and staff prepare themselves and the players after a loss. They do take care of business and beat the teams they should beat. The one exception is the let down loss to Beavus in DL's first season. There never is nor ever will be an excuse to lose to the rodents........ In the IU game I expected the Ducks to be Clubber Lang and demolish the Hoosiers. That game should be a wake up call for the Ducks. It would be great to have a rematch in the CFP. I feel, as you do that we win that rematch. Go Ducks.......

While the above title shouts “Ripoff!” of the 1982 Rocky movie with Clubber Lang, it has serious relevance for how Oregon head coach Dan Lanning is preparing his team for its five-game season-finishing run. It is a crucial set of games that will determine whether or not Our Beloved Ducks make the College Football Playoffs. I had to take a ... Duck's Season Finish: "I Predict PAIN for Opponents"

Exactly! Play in games...the playoffs before the playoffs. Imagine if Illinois played South Carolina on CCG Week. Indiana vs Bama. That solves the "who is the best conference" issue. And what a ratings bonanza that would be. Settle the issue on the field. No more 75 SEC teams in the Top 25 claiming they have the best conference (like this year when it is clear Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, Florida, Texas and Vandy are fillers for bolstering and padding reputations instead of being legit conference title contenders). The SEC is still Georgia and Bama. A&M seems to be a phantom menace more than a legit threat(no defense as far as I'm concerned, and they won't score 39 on a legit defense- again my opinion). To answer the question of OBD being capable and prepared: that depends on their performance these final five games. In my eyes, a title caliber team obliterated all five remaining in their way. As in 14-17 point margins of victory each game. Or better. All but Wisconsin have the ability to be troublemakers. Like a Louisville. Kicking some troublemaker behind is an indication of how serious you are about the playoffs. And last everyone is concerned Indiana was a bellwether: are they really? SOS isn't factoring in scheduling itself. Nearly every team OBD face is getting favorable conditions. Including Indiana. Their first road game was buffered with a bye week. OBD had been back East twice. Before their bye. No excuses necessary. But those facts stand out. The way OBD schedule plays out, if they obliterate the remaining portion of the schedule, it is because they are truly title material because nearly every team got a gift from scheduling. And get this: odds makers favor OBD in Bloomington if they played Indiana this weekend. What I'm saying is the Indiana loss was an anomaly. And I also happen to believe Indiana would face the same result OBD did in the Rose Bowl should we face them again. Indiana is a B+ team. OBD is at least that if not more. That's what the rest of the season will reveal. If I'm correct about what I've seen so far, OBD are going to pile drive the rest of this schedule. We shall see if that is the case.

Or.... Good news? Did they want that coach? I haven't really followed the Blazers since Maurice Cheeks was the head coach. So that was... early 2000s

Omigosh! How can you not love this?

Mike, good post. It was the 8th game of eight in a row without a break, but Wisconsin gave OBD all it could handle last season. The score was 35-0, but Purdue did put up a fight on its home field. Last season, the B1G finished with the best postseason record among the Power 4. This season, 5-2 Northwestern was a better test than Oklahoma State. 5-2 NW at 5-2 Nebraska, 9 AM FSI, is, at least in theory, a PO elimination game. It's unfortunate NW didn't open with a home game versus a Little MAC instead of playing Tulane in New Orleans. It's easy to forget that a 3-4 B1G team took OBD into double OT. 😁 I think the game at Iowa in Week 11 and the following Week 12 Friday night game against Minnesota will both be testy. Iowa did not have to work overtime to defeat that 3-4 team. And the Hoosiers had a close call in Iowa City. I know that Super Glue is more mobile than Dylan Raiola, and Swiss cheese has fewer holes than the Cornhuskers o-line, but the Gophers did post nine sacks, a team record, against Nebraska. 😁 5-2 Minnesota at 5-2 Iowa, 12:30 CBS, is a PO elimination game. By the time the Pac-12 cratered, ASU, Cal, CU, Oregon State, Washington State, UCLA, Utah, even in Salt Lake, and a 5-loss USC team, were pretty much walkovers for OBD. Arizona was solid the season the conference died, DeBoer left for Bama, and Fisch dropped his line in Seattle. With the 5th-best roster in CFB, OBD should handle the majority of the B1G and out-of-conference teams it plays. For the most part, Oregon has done so under Dan.

But, I would have to root for the Huskies!

That is definitely a win win situation.

I do not think the score will "blow"
