While it’s not the real thing, any time I just need a Duck hit, my go to is the 5 minute ‘More Than A Feeling’ video of the 2008 C*v*l War game at Reser. Brightens my day every time.

The first play of the Indiana game is a perfect example of this. Everyone in the stadium knew it would be a short pass, probably a quick out and the Indiana corner sat on that. result pick six. We need more than nickel and diming to beat good teams like Indiana. As for next year, the players are certainly there to compete for the NC. Running back, receiver, tight end rooms are big time talented. The O line will be strong, how strong? Defensively it looks like we will be solid at every position, and great at some. How will other teams also try to improve, what will the schedule look like (is that out now?)? Ah found it. Big 10 schedule is not kind, at USC, at Illinois, at Ohio St. at Michigan St. Still, all of these games are winnable and we only lost to Indiana this past year and we are not playing them. Will we be more aggressive on offense? Will we figure out some of the pass rush packages that drove us crazy in some games? 11-1, 8-1 conference, in conference championship game and play offs. A bye in playoffs if we win the Conference Championship game. In the playoffs anything can happen, including the Ducks winning it all. Here's hoping.

Its the cost of doing business for a better overall payout, if you reside on the west coast. Oregon, UW, UCLA, and the Spoiled Chillblains all are financially better off than any other former or "current" PAC teams since the big break up.

Sounds like Oregon a year or so ago.

Another "win" is that only 4 teams repeated in the 12 team format. Ducks, OSU, Indy and Georgia. Keep the string going. Absent injuries, is 4 out of every 5 years in the playoffs success? Asking for a Buffalo Bill fan.

Holy cow. Is this real? Is Oregon hoops at their lowest point in 20 years?

Here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, 6 inches of snow, then two inches of sleet, then an inch of freezing rain. You can't walk on top of the snow, too slippery, hard to clear sidewalks, driveways and get cars out. We're hunkered down safe and warm inside though (not wanting to see our next electric bill). Other than that, a nice unexpected vacation.

How about a new regulation that inspectors who fail to be on site within 24 hours of the completed work are to be used as tackling dummies on the opening day of fall practice? Might hurry things up.

Withdrawals from football means a couple Cactus League games, coupled with golf next month. I will then pay attention to spring football practices, and follow that with a fly fishing trip to Cabo for some Rooster fish in May. Anybody here that enjoys fly fishing, I recommend going after Roosters at least once. Nice weather, and they are a fierce fish to land on a fly rod. I use Baja Anglers out of Cabo for fly fishing, and have quality rods available if you don’t want to hassle with taking your own gear. Not a paid advertisement for them, but Cabo does have a small casino downtown, a sports book on site is doubtful, and overall seems pretty shady. Not highly recommended. Just as August rolls around I will be restless for the football season to begin with high hopes for the season.

I am going to pack the camper and head to Arizona for 6 weeks, the heck with basketball.

11-1 - PO - 3 and 0, or 2 and 0 with a PO bye. Champ game in Las Vegas on 1/25/27. With tens of thousands of Oregon fans in Allegiant Stadium. Here's hoping that OBD fans will not want the last game of the season to stay in Vegas. Tough schedule, but a lot of talent on this Oregon team. Please, football gods, allow OBD to have all hands on deck for this season's B1Ggest and PO games.

Around 20 years ago, I had to travel to Minneapolis on business, in the immediate aftermath of a huge winter storm. The day I stepped off the plane, there was a wind chill factor of more than 25 below zero. Parking lots in the area had mostly been plowed, but the piles of snow were higher than the car I rented. 3 days into my stay, I had to cross into Wisconsin, along the banks of the upper Mississippi, which was frozen to the point people were racing 4×4 pickups on the ice. I'm happy living in the Willamette Valley!

The Games You Remember are Played in November. I don't know if there will be snow on the ground in Columbus or East Lansing, but OBD has tough sledding in November.

I used to find some relief from the pigskin withdrawal season by watching Dana's boys fight their way into the Pac 12 Tournament Championship game and at least win a game or two in the Big Dance. Alas, in what seems like Dana's last season with OBD cagers, not even that tepid form of relief is available. Guess I'll have to dig out the clubs and start working on my golf swing. Spring is just around the corner, ain't it?

Thanks Darren, they have definitely kicked in. I read your article and then went to the gym where I was promptly asked, hey Frank, when does spring football start in Eugene? I had no idea but when I got home, I used Google Gemini to find out the following: These dates have not been announced yet for the start of practice and the date of the spring game.

Darren, please forgive me for going OT. Smitty, you can debate which conference is better in whatever sport, but there is no debating when it comes to Big Ten wrestling. The Big Ten is on top, and it isn't close. No other conference can take down 😁the B1G. The Big Ten has won 17 NCAA titles in a row, and Penn State, 49-1 in its last 50 dual matches, is the prohibitive favorite to win the 18th straight this season. Penn State sends 6 All-Americans in a row out on the mat. Good luck. If you can do so, watch B1G wrestling expert Shane Sparks when he is interviewed on the B1G Today show by Dave Revsine. Or, catch him when announcing a Big Ten match. Feeling down? Watch and listen to the High On Life Sparks. Enthusiasm personified. Dave Revsine has been with the Big Ten Network since it opened shop in 2007, and there is no one Revsine enjoys interviewing more than Shane Sparks. Rhetorical question: Does Shane look like a wrestler? WIN MagazineShane Sparks more than lives up to his broadcasting name...By Katie Finn For many wrestling fans, the voice and face of wrestling is Shane Sparks. What makes this wrestling broadcaster so good and what makes it so interesting are his enthusiasm and apparent

Unless the Ducks break down, they make the playoffs again. My most anticipated game in the final 4 of next year's playoffs... get one more step ahead and then play for a natty But other than that, I look forward to the Washington game. It is a good rivalry. West coast football.

New Providence and Metuchen are about 43 miles South East of where I live. I live in the Warren County area.

Ducks road record in two years of BIG Ten schedule: 9-0 Games at Michigan, Penn St, Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington, UCLA, Northwestern, Rutgers, Purdue. So far where ever or when ever the Ducks show up, it's been the home team's problem.

I wonder if he is asking himself if that 26 year old model was worth it? 🤔
