Don’t jinx this y’all. Let’s speak this Miami loss into existence by believing in Mari Cristbal.

44 -17 Oregon2 TO4 sacks280 yds

OT - Grandpa, thanks for calling out the B1G proposed private capital deal and especially pointing out that signing any agreement through 2046 when the structure of CFB is so volatile makes no business sense. Since the (why did it happen?) House settlement, 33 lawsuits have been filed against the NCAA. Why agree to anything long term when OBD will be included in any College Football Super Conference. and the athletic department is in the black? It's so good to be B1G, but it may be better to be Bigger.

Mario probably at half time to his team: We need more physicality. Physicality speaking, we are not as physicality as Louisville right now. We need to pick up the physicality in the second half. I am going to call a timeout before the second half kickoff as a reminder for more physicality.

That would be an interesting homecoming. He did have his best years in Corvallis but like @Solar said, OSU's current status as a G5 program will make it much harder to succeed....then again his competition would also be of similar talent levels so maybe that comes out as a wash.

After last week I am torn! Which team shows up? I shall go with: OBD, 31-13 2 TO 3 Sacks 230 yards passiNguyen Go Ducks!

He won’t be beloved by the fans like he used to be, after he took the first train out of town when he had the chance… Many corn valley fans I know and work with feel he did them dirty and they don’t want him back. Ever. Under ANY circumstance. We shall see what Beavis is made of…

I think they make this happen. It will be harder for Smith to replicate his success at Oregon State with the bad conference though.

Two Beck picks and Louisville can't capitalize. 14-10 at the 2:00 'time out'. Bummer

Jinx... I knew i shouldn't look! 14-7, now

Smith will need to stop at Goodwill on his way back into Corvalis and pick up the swag he left on his way out of town.

Wait, what. Quick Mari call time out!!!

Louisville throwing the entire playbook at the U. Three QB wildcat sets, fake field goal and a tush push. Mari-no-O not happy.

But Louisville is two touchdowns ahead of Miami on ESPN!

I'm not surprised. If the Beavs can come close to his salary at Michigan State, why not? MSU fans are not happy with him, seeing no year-to-year improvement in performance. The QB he brought with, Aiden Chiles, is in his 3rd season and making the same mistakes he did in his first two seasons. The defense is bad. If Indiana is fired up on Saturday at home, I think Sparty is in for a whipping. The other Beavers coaching candidate of note is Ed Ogeron. He gone?

This is from someone on another site... "I heard a really interesting clip from a Michigan State radio broadcast on 1080 The Fan in Portland this morning. They are NOT happy with Jonathan Smith in Lansing. Said he doesn’t recruit, not good with the portal, and doesn’t work with the donors/boosters. They actually called him a “Weirdo”. They also claimed that when Oregon State was left without a conference he felt he had to go and that he really didn’t want to leave Corvallis. Supposedly his agent strongly encouraged him. He has a $31 Million buyout and apparently, MSU is considering giving it to him. So “why not” Smith returning to Corvallis? He loved it there. OSU can’t get anyone better. Before you say “no way”, remember, Mike Riley left and was welcomed back. It could be a win-win for both parties."

Ducks! 44-14 2 Scarlet Night Turnovers 3 OBD sacks 303 pass yards Go Ducks!!!

Ohio State and Indiana are on a collision course, right? And more questions to be answered in the 2nd half of the season. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/seven-stretch-run-storylines-that-will-define-the-second-half-of-the-2025-college-football-season/?eid=c7d8647c6247db8d08c59fe44bc30380a147aa90b9e33099045cd46ddc6a485b&ftag=SNL-04-

Cig is 64 years of age. His extended contract ends when he's 72. Where is he going to go to find a better gig? Ryan Day is not leaving Ohio State. Cig's been in the SEC. Why go back to the SEC pressure cooker when you have an easier shot at making the PO in the B1G? To wit - 6-0 - Indiana - Michigan State, UCLA, at Maryland, at Penn State, Wisconsin, at Purdue 5-1 - Oklahoma - at South Carolina, Ole Miss, at Tennessee, at Alabama, Missouri, LSU. Res Ipsa Loquitor. The thing speaks for itself. 😁 His loyal assistant coaches, who are still raising children and are happy in Bloomington. The loyalty goes both ways. It was Indiana AD Scott Dolson who took a chance on a 62-year-old coach who had never coached at the top level of college football. I don't believe Cig will forget the man and the school that elevated him to a big-time job and big-time money. His two losses at Indiana came last season on the road against the 2024-25 playoff champion and runner-up. He knew he needed to improve on both LOS and Mark Cuban, and other wealthy Hoosier boosters came up with the cash. Indiana has the largest living alumni base in the USA. A base that is fired up after only one glory year since 1884, 1967, when HC John Pont took Indiana to the Rose Bowl and a close loss to USC, OBD grad John McKay, and OJ. Today, a ticket to an Indiana home game is harder to score than a ticket to a Notre Dame home game. Cig hasn't revived or resurrected the program; there was nothing to revive or resurrect. He's turned the biggest nothing-burger in CFB and the Big Ten into filet mignon with endless pour Dom Perignon on the side. Unless something untoward happens, Indiana should go 12-0, play in the B1G title game in Indianapolis, and return to the playoff with a shot at winning a title this season. Amazing! Move over, Bill Snyder. 😁

It's also kinda funny that Adidas US headquarters are also based in Oregon. So there is still a little bit of Oregon in their clothing.

Ducks 30-20 1 1 190 New schemes because of Indiana on both sides of the ball. IMO every team is going to look at what Indiana did to confuse the Ducks.

Oh-so very true. My first Oregon game was as a kid at Autzen. Huskies 66 Ducks 0 Frankly, it took 2+ longgg decades, along with a lot of therapy, to get over that start to 'My Life as a Duck.'

It still amazes me the complete turnaround attitudes have taken between Oregon and Washington over the past 65 years. During the years of Jim Owens and Don James, they lived in our heads rent free. No one owns anyone else forever, but for now, nice to have the (Nike) shoe on the other (Adidas) foot.
