I’ve pretty much checked out on hoops sadly enough. I actually forgot to watch the MSU game, but I’m in Hawaii on vacation so whatever. I’ve watched most of our games though. This seems like a poorly constructed team with a key injury in what is a really tough conference this year. Keep waiting for the Dana turnaround but I don’t think it’s happening.

Very cool! We have a very good 2 deep. Advance warning, don’t be attached to HS names that weren’t good enough to play their frosh year.

I know we're all disappointed in the final game so I took a deep dive into our football program and as Duck fans we should hold our heads up and be proud of our team. I just got a notification that Dante Moore will be returning! See how blessed we are. Chip Kelly 46-7 .868% Under Chip, he posted undefeated records against both Oregon State and Washington, something never before achieved by an Oregon coach. Mark Helfrich 37-16 .698% Willie Taggart 7-5 .583% Mario Cristobal 35-13 .729% Dan Lanning 48-8 .857% overall record 173-49 .779% George Horton 375-281 .572% Mark Wasikowski 206-106 .660% overall record 581-387 .600% Listening to the college baseball show with Jared Perkins, Mark Garland and Will Mossa, they pick our Ducks to finish in 2nd place in the B1G ten, only behind powerhouse UCLA. Dana Altman 378-171 .689% Our basketball program, for the most part, has been very competitive and exciting to watch. There has been the occasional bump in the road but overall have done fairly well. But this season is different. Is it the coaching, player development or NIL. For the past four seasons, there have been quite a few injuries that have derailed the Ducks. Anybody have an answers how Coach Altman can turn this around? Looking at our winning percentages in football, baseball and basketball, we should be very pleased at the winning cultural at Oregon.

I was listening to Danny Kannel a couple of mornings ago and he thought this would be the right decision. His thought process was that the more experience Dante got the better chance he would be at succeeding and thus, earning a second contract. The first contract is nice, but the second contract can be nine figures if you prove to be the future of your franchise (just ask Justin).

Dante Moore>Dylan Raiola>Akili Smith Jr.>Bryson Beaver...sounds good to me.

The ending sucked, but this season was an unqualified success. A final four appearance by a team with a new QB. OBD Exceeded all expectations ranging from Vegas odds to our preseason ranking. There are apparently a few out there that consider not winning it all sub-standard, but by every other measurement we did better than the experts thought. We hit a buzz saw that slapped Alabama around the week before they slapped us around, and I’ll be shocked if they don’t continue the slapping on Monday.

Let's gooooooo!!!

QUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

I'm definitely NO expert but this is the Smartest choice Dante could have made, solely based on his body of work. Glad to have you senor', glad to have you. GO DUCKS!

Dante is staying. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/dante-moore-staying-oregon-2026-nfl-draft/

Where did I say "blowout"? What I'd like to see is some consistency, something to actually build off. I love CFB, especially seeing teams execute. Just hoping that some day I'll be able to see my Ducks do it. Lower my standards? You get what you ask for...

I think the wins against FCS champ Montana State, B12 Oklahoma State, and Beavis were convincing. As were wins over Rutgers, a UW team in Seattle, ranked USC, Minnesota, Sun Belt champ JMU, and B12 champion Texas Tech. OBD 'only' defeated Wisconsin by two TDs, but the game was played in a monsoon against a team with one of the best run Ds in CFB. The Badgers were never a real threat to win the game. As was the case with Indiana, road games at Penn State and Iowa were close, gut-check wins. Like Oregon in 2024-25, one team finished this season undefeated with one game left to play, Indiana. Oregon's 2 losses this season are odds on to have come against a team that will finish 16-0 with a title. No team has gone 16-0 since Yale in the 1880s. Yes, it was a blowout, but an average of 18 million viewers, with a high of 21.4 million viewers, tuned in to watch two Big Ten teams in the Peach Bowl. Millions more than the folks who watched SEC Ole Miss vs. ACC Miami. The undefeated Miami Dolphins didn't blow out every opponent. The one-loss Patriots team didn't blow out every opponent. Nick Saban's teams at Bama, even his best teams, didn't blow out every opponent. In the modern era, no team is going to blow out every opponent. I certainly respect your POV, but you might want to lower your standards a bit and enjoy the games more.

Actually, they also lost to ND State the following week.

Thank you, Mr. West! It took Kirby Smart and Ryan Day six seasons to win it all. Dan is heading into year five and came one step closer to playing for it all this season.

I posted very little, if at all this season. The reason was what I was seeing on the field, and it wasn't that great. As in, if you don't have anything good to say then maybe don't say anything. Sure, Dante throws some beauts, and we definitely have tons of talent. The problem for me was that the wins were never very convincing, not at all. There are a lot of mechanics in football, a great team operates like a well-oiled machine. Our guys looked like car made from Ferrari parts but assembled in the Yugo factory, and when things got serious it was all too apparent.

How important is a CO-OC and CO-DC? Both new coordinators were CO's. Not being involved in anyway with coaching duties does anyone have a good take on how much input they have with play calling and pregame analysis? Mehringer seems to have a decent resume and DL has been around him for 4 (?) years. Hampton's been there for 3 years so again DL has a better idea of his abilities. I guess the question is how much each will change what we had before.

If I'm Dan Lanning I might give Pete Sterbick (Montana State OC) a call about the open QB Coach gig. He was the D2 Coordinator of the year in 2022, gets hired at Montana State last year as OC/QB coach, and proceeds to call an FCS national championship offense. Any one remember who their only loss was to all season? 🙂

Well. One shoe dropped....waiting for the other. Good Luck Dillon. Thanks for being a Duck!

That’s what I would like to see.

I have a ton of friends, who are Eagles fans, and not one had a single good thing to say about Kevin Patullo.

Well, there is one question answered.

When you are mourning the DUCKS loss to Indiana and You are mourning the loss of Bobby Weir of The Greatful Dead

Can't blame him, and I assumed he was gone. He is being replaced at Oregon by the No. 1 portal safety from Minnesota?
