SoGaDawg, I certainly don’t want to argue, I was just stating my opinion based on the facts as I see them. Take a look a college football championship winners over the history of college football. While the south won a few in the earlier years. They didn’t become dominant until the best available players started getting cars and “jobs” that paid boatloads for little to no work. It is no longer a secret, it is known and acknowledged. Although, it is kind of a moot point now, since, as Mr. FishDuck says, The Best teams are in the B1G!

Historically, I am inclined to think the North has proven to have the advantage. Princeton, Yale, Chicago, Notre Dame, Army, Michigan, Nebraska, etc for decades dominated championships. It really wasn’t until the SEC mastered the art of paying players under the table that the South became dominant. I think NIL has re-leveled that playing field somewhat. I fear we are moving into an era that the schools with the richest donors will hold the real advantage.

Ducks, 38-9 3 3 266

This season has already been a success! 11 B1G wins to one B1G loss (to the #1 ranked team no less). Our OC and DC both get hired as HC at KY and at Cal. Respect from CF talking heads. Home game in the CFP, Multiple players selected to all B1G teams. Outstanding recruiting class on tap. Every win from here on is just icing on the cake! Sure, I’d love to see a string of wins in a run to the Natty, but the 2025 version of OBD has already delivered us fans a very successful season.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, and don’t see either team lasting long enough to play OBD. The good thing about this game is an SEC loss. The bad thing about this game is an SEC win.

Thank you Jordan! If OBD plays a clean game and plays to their potential, we will all go to bed happy Saturday night! Play to the standard men. FEBU. It’s DUCKS vs THEM!

Thanks for posting another excellent ponder point Alex! I too, think DM is in it for the long haul. He has shown his maturity and invested in his future by sitting behind DG last year, and has already indicated he sees the value of experience going in to the league. I would be surprised if he makes the jump this year and forgoes the opportunity to continue to learn from DL and start to meet his potential.

Excellent article David, thank you! One thing I didn’t see mentioned was Oregon’s videography group. While they may not have been factors in building the juggernaut I believe they have a lot to do with maintaining and even improving the recruiting prowess of OBD. The DUCKS VS THEM series. The Under Construction series on the Ducks YouTube Chanel this year and the That Team Out West series from last year are off the charts as far a a recruiting tool. Today’s recruits absolutely eat that stuff up! Again, thank you for the thought producing article about OBD recruiting!

Tulane Green Wave is putting the hurt on North Texas! Hope you didn’t have much on North Texas to win or cover JJ!

Dan gets a new OC and DC next year! https://duckswire.usatoday.com/football/

The committee will NOT put three B1G teams in the top 4. Not going to happen. OBD starts the playoffs in Autzen.

— a consortium of single-cell organisms that are afraid of loud noises, react poorly to daylight, and speak in monosyllabic grunts whilst inhaling spent grain at the Montlake feeding trough… … knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, booger-eating Husky faithful… Now THAT is some well written descriptors! This Duck fan could not agree more. Thanks Jordan for a well written and insightful article!

I ask you OBD Fans, Which is better? Trojan tears? Or Trojan meltdown? We spot the 130 yards in penalties only for USC to meltdown in the waning minutes of the game!

OBD, 36, USuC 17 2 TO 2 Sacks 285 yards in the air. Wear Black. Tear Thru Trojans.

OBD, 41-14 2 TO 3 sacks 198 pass yards. 250 + rush yards
