How about 15 Straight doggy beat downs by the Ducks!

Pretty sure it was Helfrich at the helm of the loss to Auburn in the season opener.. Either way, I am damn glad the U took Mari no o off our payroll so we could bring in DL!

Rooted in Substance shows a very symbiotic relationship, that for me begs two questions… Would Oregon have done as well without Nike? Would Nike have done as well without Oregon? I think the answer to both questions is ‘no.’ They have truly used each other to attain success.

Thank you Charles for another insightful analysis of OBD! Can hardly wait to watch some steamrolling in a couple of months! When does fall camp officially start?

Thanks Charles for the reminder. I predict the 2024/2025 rendition of OBD will run the table this year! I have predicted this a few times before, both of Lanning’s first two (Nix) years, and even Mari-no-O’s last (Herbert) year. While they did not quite achieve the lofty heights I was sure they would, I was proud of what they did do! We have never seen as talented or as deep an OBD team as what will tear through their first year in the BIG! The pieces are in place, the coaching staff is on point, and the young men of Oregon are primed and pumped! Bring it on INDEED! Go DUCKS!

So, I have been thinking (a dangerous concept, to be sure), that OSU really is no longer deserving of the name “little brother” which implies they are in the same family. Little cousin doesn’t feel right either, as it implies a somewhat familial relationship. Perhaps “obnoxious little neighbor kid” might be a better way to think of beavus going forward. I leave it to you, the wise and ever-eloquent followers of OBD, to ponder a future reference to the thieving bark rats from corn valley! I know you won’t let me down and I gleefully look forward to your suggestions!

I have no doubts that Coach Stein will have Mr. Gabriel and Company firing on all cylinders by the time they venture into corn valley for the first of many non conference beat downs of little cousin (no longer worthy of brother) beavis.

Wait til next year indeed! Competing in the BIG? Which formidable BIG baseball powers will keep the Ducks from the big dance next year?

I also remember the feeling of dread as the purple mutts were marching down to make it a one score game. The “Pick” turned the dread to elation! The 94 season certainly changed the trajectory of both schools. From 1964 to 1993 the Ducks were 8-17 against the mutts. From 1994 to 2023 we were 20-8 against them! For me though, it was the “Streak” from 2004-2015 that really signified the turning point. In the decade from 94 to 04 we were only up 6 game to 4. Of the 19 regular season games since 2004, the Ducks have won 15!

Great posts for Memorial Day Weekend! Thank you Mr. Fishduck!

Good points Darren, thanks for posting! One of the hidden costs has got to be physical and psychological stress factors related to constant and lengthy travel these athletes will be subject to. Since school stress combined with athletic stress isn’t enough, let’s toss a whole bunch of flying time and hotel time at these kids, and see how they deal with it! Time will tell, but I gotta think it will negatively affect young lives.

Please tell me that ESPN does not have all the CFP games!

Whadda ya wanna bet they know who the Ducks are in December?

Oh yea! 9 am on a Saturday let’s me sleep in and still be in front of the TV in time. I may have Baileys and coffee instead of Black Butte Porter until lunch time, but I think I could make that sacrifice…

When something most of us never had goes dark, it doesn’t seem to matter much. Kind of like the tree falling in the woods that nobody hears. Did it make a sound? The real question is… Can the Ducks sue the PAC12 channel to get the rights to re-broadcast their games?

Extremely sad news to read Charles. Tragic loss to all followers of the site. I thoroughly enjoyed the threads from our beloved PennsylvaniaDuck. She will be missed by more than she knew. Having lost a mother and a sister in the last month, I feel Mark’s pain a little more acutely than perhaps I would have a couple months ago.

A native Oregonian I too, grew up rooting for both schools, back when they both sucked big time on the gridiron. I have family who attended both, and I actually had a warm spot in my heart for Beavus, right up until they shamelessly took the money they didn’t earn.

Lots of good ideas bounce around here. While the Civil War meant something in the past, that is no longer the case. The Ducks will continue to fly while the Beavs sink slowly into the mud around their den. There is no bragging right that beavus is qualified to earn, unless it is with PSU. If they want to play in Eugene, fine, otherwise strike them from the schedules moving forward. They don’t deserve to play the Ducks.

"It sucks that we won’t see Fox,CBS, & NBC air a playoff or take turns airing the National Championship," I could not agree more. ESPN sucks. They are greedy bloodsuckers who do not care about the sport or the fans, all they worship is $$$. To the detriment of the game.

A veritible boatload! Fantasy from bark rat nation

I could also do without the wave. It is tired and weak. Maybe half don’t participate. i do like SHOUT in the break between 3rd and 4th quarters, but “comin back to the place that I was born” between the first and second quarters gets me every time! I love the song and hearing fans join in gives me goose pimples (Duck bumps)! Go Ducks and Go Autzen!

Uh, yea. In a heartbeat. Without remorse.

Well that burst my bubble! I bet he thought it though! We have known it to be true for years!

Just when we think “stick a fork in ‘em, they ‘re done!” They hemorrhage some more! Our coach stayed, and we are going to the CFP! Your coach left to be the 4th choice of a former powerhouse, and the best team you ever is deserting in droves, like rats from a sinking ship! and who is to blame? ”Washington has without a doubt the most whiny ungrateful hyena moaning fans I have ever experienced, its bar none”. Quote attributed to Kalen DeBoer when asked why he left Washington for Alabama

Whiney ungrateful hyena moaning fans! Bar none! Wow! And from their greatest coach ever! That is gonna be a retort that will never grow old!
