  1. Bo running is good for the Ducks, but it needs to continue to be smart running.  It forces the defense to account for him.

     

    Having him run into the teeth of the defense is not smart (see Nix last year and Herbert his sophomore year.  
     

    IMHO, the QB has no business running between the tackles unless it is a 1 or 2 yard QB sneak following his blockers.

  2. I agree with you O Great Hauler of Logs!  
     

    If our 5* commits don’t get a shot because we are bringing in “experience” the 5* commits will soon figure it out and commit elsewhere.

     

    Bringing in transfers doesn’t always pay off.  For every Nix we had a Brown and for every Vernon Adams we have had a Dakota Pruckup

  3. Thank you Charles!  It was a great game wasn’t it!!! 

     

    I must admit, my prediction actually had me rooting for WSU to get the garbage time TD!  Not often I root for any score against OBD!

     

    While I missed the sacks by a mile (way to go Duck D), and was off on the TO, I only missed the actual air yardage by 12 yards and the rushing yardage by 3 yards!

     

    I guess I should buy a lottery ticket today!

     

    Go Ducks!!!

  4. You better believe OBD will watch it in the week after they beat the Beavs.  I should be able to bring myself to watch it then, while anticipating three things:

    Revenge, sweet revenge,

    A thorough beat down of the mutts,

    The end of their winning streak.

  5. And had OBD converted on one of the fourth downs, Lanning would have been a wizard.  Had they converted on 2 of them, Dan would have been a hero, and hat OBD converted in all 3, he’d be hailed as BBDL!

     

    While I too, am upset with the final score, I realize it is still a game, played by kids and nobody is perfect. 
     

    I would still rather have DL in charge, rather than MC, WT, or MH running things.  I think Lanning will do great things at Oregon, but perfection won’t be one of them.

  6. Thank you Charles for an interesting and thought provoking article! 
     

    While the 2023 version OBD is much improved in nearly every facet of the game from 2022, unfortunately the 2023 version of the putrid purple and hooker gold scumbag curs from the north are also better than their previous rendition.

     

    That said, it will be fun to watch OBD put an epic beat down on the sniveling mutts on National TV!

     

    Go Ducks!

  7. Charles, I most definitely share your Fine-Feathered-Fantasy!  I also think this year’s version of OBD have the talent, depth, skill, and attitude to deliver and undefeated National Championship season!

     

    If DL can keep them hungry and looking to get better with each outing, and if they play to their potential with no letdowns, 2023 may just deliver what PK and the rest of us have been waiting decades for!

     

    Go Ducks!

  8. Nice little hype video, but they are only one of Oregon’s teams.

     

    Oregon has a LOT of teams, from elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools, all the way up through junior college and universities.  All of them are Oregon’s teams.

     

    The Beavers can preen and moan and  cry and swagger all they want, but EVERYONE knows who tho top team in our state is, and it ain’t the one in Corvallis.

     

    There is only one Oregon team that consistently competes with the big boys, and that is Our Beloved Ducks!

  9. For those not familiar with it:

     

    “Hill said the criteria for big plays are touchdowns of 40-plus yards on offense, takeaways on defense and a special teams touchdown or blocked kick. Players who make those plays sign the custom shoe and celebrate with the scepter.

     

    “Each game somebody close to the program is going to design a shoe,” Hill said. “You get to sign the shoe and then you get your moment with your team holding up the scepter. Then after the season, we auction and give it to charity.”

  10. Has anybody gotten photographs of the first two Big Play Scepter?  Saw the shoe designed by MM8 last night and it was awesome!

     

    Having the shoe dated for the week and signed by the Big Playmakers and auctioned off to charity is a GREAT idea, and one I hope gets legs!
     

    A listing showing each shoe, the shoe designer, and the signing playmakers for each week would be cool to see.

    I’ll say this---If Deon stays Colorado will be the team to beat in the Big 12. It will take 2 or 3 years to build solid depth. But... next year his QB son will head off to the NFL. neener neener. So he will have that to deal with.

    I think Neon Deon gets out of Colorado at his first opportunity to go the the BIG or SEC.

  12. If they were smart instead of greedy (LOL) all the schools would have stayed in the PAC in all sports but football.  
     

    They could have preserved the rich history of the conference while keeping the non-football student-athletes from a travel nightmare and preserving their sports by keeping games, meets, and marches somewhat local.

     

    I tend to agree with the OSU/WSU stance, 10 of them willingly left.  I think it is probably too late for common sense to prevail, and the Beavs and Cougs are playing their ace in the hole.

  13. I am fine with the media falling all over themselves talking up USuC.  It just makes it all the better when we beat them.

     

    And beat them we will, over and over again, like a dusty old rug from in front of the door. Since 2000 we are 9-5 with one vacated by USuC.

    The more sunshine the media pumps, the better our wins look, while making any loss, not so bad.
