IMHO, the Chipster had his best years coaching while at Oregon. He was never fan friendly, and often threw barbed one-liners at fans, press, and players as well. The CK coached teams were exciting and fun to watch. Scores came by boatloads and explosion plays were commonplace. He was at the helm when Oregon changed how college football was played and perceived. His Winning percentage with OBD has to put him in the top 2, but I really don’t think he holds a candle to Dan the Man Lanning. I do give him credit for what he did while he was here, but I also note that he was one of many coaches who left OBD and did not pan out where he went. His 12 man statement was nothing more than a lame excuse for getting beat by DL and the Ducks.

Oregon Ducks Bryce Boettcher makes decision on Astros spring training DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Oregon Ducks linebacker Bryce Boettcher will reportedly skip Houston Astros spring training... It appears the additional year of eligibility was for football only.

Does anyone know if Bryce Boettcher gets another year of baseball eligibility or is that just for football?

Thank you for posting David. I too, appreciate your insight and ability to put into words what many of us think. IMHO the B1G defenses overall were bigger faster and better than what we faced in the PAC12. The Vandals, Broncos, and Beavers were not B1G, and the only one of those we ran out of the stadium went on to be the PAC 2 Champion.

Interesting how once it became legal for other teams to do what the SEC has been doing for years, suddenly they are no longer on top. Their keening and wailing is starting to overshadow that of the trojans and huskies!

It would have been nice if the osu2 team that beat Texas had showed up in Pasadena on 1/1. I think there would have been a far different outcome. I was surprised that osu2 let the horns stay in it as long as they did. Hope a more efficient team shows up against the golden domers.

Totally agree Charles! We played our worst game of the season on the same day they played their best game of the season. 1/1/25 could have been vastly different if #4 had been limited to 1 catch for 3 yards that day. I don’t want to take anything away from osu2, but I think OBD would have had the horn fans crying in their beer tonight.

Reflecting on the ‘bittersweet’ end to the season for Oregon football WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The emotions in the Oregon locker room after the 41-21 loss in Pasadena were a cauldron While the end of the season came too early and will hurt for a while, OBD treated us fans to one heck of a 1st season in the B1G.

Jeremiah Smith 1 catch for 3 yards? wth?

Ohio State 31-14 1 TO 3 sacks 285 yards

PSU, 24-21 1 psu TO 1 PSU sack 245 yards

Wish JC all the best at the next level. The dude was the latest monster OT rocking it for OBD. OaD, AaD (Once a Duck, Always a Duck)

To be fair, in large part it was 50% up to the opponent, and we had some beasts to play during each and every year. IMO(fwiw) I think the 2024 edition of OBD had so much more depth (not to mention blue chippers), I think they would have worn the other editions of OBD down by the end of Q-4.

So with Oregon State and Washington State being joined by Fresno State, Boise State, San Diego State, Utah State, Colorado State, and Gonzaga, will the PAC12 be awarded an automatic qualifying spot next year? With 5 of them being former Mountain West, it doesn’t seem like whey should, but I have not heard???

I for one am not calling for anyone on the caching staff to get the axe. A 13-1 season is incredible! We just played our worst game of the season against a team that played their best game of the season. It is college football and these things happen. I have been a Duck fan since the late 60's and I don't remember a year when the Ducks didn't lose to someone they could had/should have beat. I don't like it, I will grumble about it, but I have already accepted it. Bring on the 2025 Edition of OBD!
