Priceless. The fact that SUC leads the nation in being overrated for the last 15 years is not news to any Oregon fans. What is comical is that the SuC fans always believe their preseason hype. Then they have to watch them play.

Lose leverage? We got more of...

The B1G Welcome Party...

Speaking of "OUCH!"

Does this explain so many Trojan Tears? Yeah...everyone's looking at YOU!

Sigh. How about Tony P was playing chess when Greg S was playing checkers? Is it a B1G win for the SEC to go to nine conference games? The B1G has lost leverage? Have any CFB scribes out there advanced beyond Finance 101? https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/winners-losers-as-sec-adopts-9-game-schedule-fans-should-rejoice-big-ten-loses-leverage-amid-cfp-talks/

But there could be a stud Cisco transferring in from the portal? 😁

I worry about losing Pancho. Charlie Pickard really did not perform well when called upon and I've not heard anything about other potential centers on the current roster.

another factor in reloading next year is NIL. i can see a way that at least a few of the juniors can earn more with the Ducks than with a NFL team. Pancho for one will likely be worth opening the purse.....

Can't wait for lighting again! (visions of LMJ are now running through my mind)

Totally agree that DL is a master motivator, and I like his dynamic themes. I guess I envisioned more a "walk in the stadium and see 'Win The Day' painted in the tunnels and other areas" I think it's a great, unchanging core value or mission statement for sports/university.

No problem with "Double Down". I just really like WTD for an overall Team/Oregon motto; painted all over stadium/facilities as a sort of permanent, unchanging motto.

Light Up a Cig? After his dissing on the SEC schedules and the SEC going to 9 + a P4, Cig should shut up? From a B1Gger viewpoint, Cig helped smoke the It Just Means More gang into going to 9 conference games. Let's Spin again, and again, and again.

This posturing is all about the “Benjamin’s “, nothing more, and nothing less. A conference commissioner, worth his salt, is trying to secure the financial well being of all conference members. A number of Colleges athletics departments are operating at a loss, the future of many sports depends on the revenue generated from football. The CFP is a big slice of pie. However, to participate in the playoff, conferences should have basic guidelines to participate. 9 conference games is a solid start. As an aside, Notre Dame should be required to join a conference to be a viable participant.

The grass is damn green in Eugene

Why? What's wrong with Dan's 'Double Down' for 2025? After all, in 2024-25, OBD Won the Day 13 out of 14 times. And at the first opportunity to go NFL, Chip did not wait for even a day and was on another Day's sideline on 1/1/25.

Friend Jabba, I have to demur. The B1G has agreed to nothing regarding playoff expansion in 2026 and thereafter. Notwithstanding all of the populist slings and arrows fired at Tony P, the B1G stayed strong with the AQ format proposal and even leaked a larger PO field proposal, at least in part intended to have the SEC play 9 conference games. 'The SEC wins' is, IMO, more knee-jerk reaction from those who do not understand big-time business strategy. If the new metric is not SEC-centric, FPI-driven, as the other Power 2 member, the B1G should benefit from the strength of its schedules. 13 B1G teams play 10 P4 opponents in 2025, compared to 3 SEC teams. Yes, the SEC if the 9-game schedule and 1 P4 OOC opponent is adopted in 2026, will have all 16 teams playing 10 P4 games. However, like the B1G, not all OOC games will be against the CBB equivalent of Quad 1 or Quad 2 opponents. The key is the neutrality of the metrics the CFB committee intends to use, but I believe Tony P will seek assurances in this regard. And come 2032, if your prediction is correct, the B1G, if there is not a Super Conference with a playoff of its own, can crater a potentially agreed-upon 5-11 model. Who knows? With the enhanced metrics, it's possible that 9-3 Illinois, with a win over then-ranked No. 16 Kansas, could have been in the 2024-25 playoff field. To date, with your possibly spot-on caveat in mind, I see the SEC going to nine conference games being no worse than a push for the B1G. The biggest loser is likely the B12, with many OOC games versus the SEC likely to be bought out, especially by the SEC schools with traditional in-state ACC opponents. The B12 possibly becoming more irrelevant was one of Jon Wilner's takes on the SEC going to nine. Especially, if the money-making B1G/SEC OOC Challenge comes to fruition. Let's Play Ball!

Unless Alabama is now 8-4 because they have to replace Mercer or Western Kentucky with a Texas, Ole Miss, Florida, et al. (Alabama did lose to Vanderbilt, a bad Oklahoma team and a mediocre Michigan team last season so there are very few gimmes, especially on the road, in conference play.)

Lanning doesn't really have a motto or slogan. He will adopt something as a theme for a period of time and then move onto a new theme. This came across every week with the Ducks vs Them videos. Against Michigan it was all about thumbs down no mercy. Against Ohio State it was "your jabs are good enough" and just keep fighting. Against Wisconsin it was make your opponent's house your own. Against Washington it was all about taking the bat (metaphorically speaking) to a rival. He is an absolute master of motivation and finding a theme to keying his players into it. Chip Kelly and "Win the Day" was awesome and great but Lanning does an incredible job by using these themes for short bursts and not letting players let the words become background noise, which happens to everyone.

Well said! They will diminish the Ducks as "gimmicky", but they never want to play.

FEBU… (Forget Everybody But US) seems to be Dan Lanning’s motto, and overall message to his players. Seems fitting because many times we are that cute team from the Northwest that nobody wants to really play. Personally, I like win the day, but I think a team motto comes from the coach, or players.

I like it, and while it was "Chip's Thing," it is also part of our history, our heritage. It was a very successful time, and that slogan was the best, so yes...bring it back and embrace it!
