For a walk-on qb to make backup in this day and age is amazing. This is no disrespect to Novosad or Moga, just amazement at the effort by Thomas. From what little we've seen from those two, it's clear we think they could manage playing D1 football. What an example of "never, never give up". It will be interesting to see what happens in the transfer portal. Akili Smith Jr is more than capable, young Beaver is promising, someone (something) has to give(go). We will see. Meanwhile, we know coaches have a keen eye for qb's. We seem to be in capable hands.

Big Test!

Totally agree. Stayed off the -9-5 lasts week and enjoyed the game with two grandsons (got them off the ipads for 3 hours, not counting half time). Never rest easy on the Ducks without a 2 score lead. Still have nightmares of '93 Cal wherein they had the second largest comeback in NCAA history (at that time. Being born in San Antonio "remember the Alamo" is a two-edge sword). It will be interesting if he makes it to the playoffs in the next 2 years. Otherwise, bye bye when the bye-out is more manageable and more people will donate.

I apologize if this has already been posted but I had not seen it and found it very interesting. oregonliveSheldon High’s Brock Thomas defies odds as No. 7 Oregon D...Thomas, overlooked by Power 4 programs, has surpringly earned the backup quarterback role at Oregon.

Troll the Trojans with Janet Jackson?! Love it!!!

Chip Kelly “left” OBD (he was forced out by a pending NCAA suspension) in 2012! The high school players being recruited today were five years old. I question whether they even know his name, and certainly don’t know his out dated offensive system.

Oregon Ducks fans are fired up for the 'Ducks vs. Them' cinematic recap video from Oregon's exciting 42-27 win over the USC Trojans. At the game, Oregon blasted Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' - a song often used by teams in Los Angeles. It marked the Ducks' fourth straight win over USC and sixth in the last seven games.

JJ, may your Chaos predictions reign supreme this Saturday. As long as OBD's take care of the horde of leg-lifters then your Chaos wishes will land the Ducks a 5 spot. The conmittee has back pedaled and changed their metrics at everyturn to please espn/abc! Cow towwing to their puppet masters for ratings. This will be a great weekend as long as OBD's take care of business. GO DUCKS! GO SEC CHAOS!

It would be interesting to see the AD’s realistic list of candidates vs. the candidates that rodent fans think they can attract. If I were the agent of whom they hire, I would make it a habit of verifying that paychecks cleared each payday…lol

I wouldn't. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ha! When that back link order came in, I had no idea what it was, and in many respects, I still don’t, and it may be of dubious ingredients. But it helps to pay the bills…

Funny, in Beavis fan sites they don’t want to include him in their search cuz they’re being super selective 😂 Loved Chip’s time here, but we can go ahead and cross him off the list for any potential openings imo…oh, and cross off Brooks and Bellotti while we’re at it.

My last memory of Chip is his Rose Bowl offense this year.

If Lanning wins the next two games against the Bastard-Huskies, and the first Playoff game....He will have the same record!

Yeah, that was a dumb question. I don't blame him for being salty. Having a good year and now out of the playoffs with the loss. I agree with Josh Pate's take on the USC / Riley situation: "I totally understand if USC fans are frustrated and want him gone. He's made wholesale changes this year that are right for the program, but are changes that should have happened 3 years ago. That said, those changes will finally have payoff next year and the year after. If you don't want to wait 2-3 more years, I get it, but if you do, you might finally see USC where they ought to be." ** quotations above don't mean word for word, but basically what Pate said. With USC's #1 2026 recruiting class--I know it's ranked that high because of sheer volume--but that's where you have to start to build depth, and that could set USC on track. My preference is not to poke the USC bear. All they need is a Mari Cristbal or Lanning-type recruiter to make recruiting life difficult for the Ducks. That said, my sign would have said, "Extend Lincoln Riley, or re-hire Clay Helton!"

Not sure exactly how accurate it is, but I've read Boise State and Auburn fans suggest by comparison Harsin makes Bryan Kelly look charming. I think Oregon kicked the tires on Harsin in both 2017 and 2021. It certainly could be argued that had potential disaster written all over it.

🤣🤣🤣- Now, now, Lincoln. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/usc-football-lincoln-riley-temper-oregon-loss-cfp/?eid=c7d8647c6247db8d08c59fe44bc30380a147aa90b9e33099045cd46ddc6a485b&ftag=SNL-04-10aaa0b&ET_CID=492450&ET_RID=52482716

The B1G schedulers have the four West Coast teams playing one another to finish the last two weeks of the season. Last week: USC at Oregon Washington at UCLA Next week: Oregon at Washington UCLA at USC I would personally rather play our former PAC-10 opponents than travel to the Midwest or Northeast in mid to late November.

UW is being given too much credit for playing well at home and for "blowing out" UCLA. The UCLA message boards are pretty unanimous that UCLA played a really poor game regardless of opponent. If you can still get 6.5 it's the deal of the weekend if not the season. I've said before that we can easily play the style of the teams that gave UW the most trouble, and do it way better than those teams. And we have the longest road winning streak in the country by a mile, playing better on the road than we have at home this season. -6.5 is a gift.

Thanks, David, for another terrific Monday morning article. The only downside, I'm craving a kava! 🙃

Drake, I liked the comment. However, with all of the BS thrown OBD's way regarding the schedule, I like the finish. OBD was the 2025 Hive Mind scheduling whipping boy. I think the schedule worked out to OBD's advantage with a home win over an SC team that I believe will remain in the committee's top 25 on Tuesday and a finish at UW with the chance to put up more points than Ohio State in Seattle.

If Dante does skip to the NFL next year, it could put JKS in the driver's seat to start and might change that equation. Either way, my guess is he stays at Cal.
