I’m sorry, but a coach would have to be a complete idiot to take a job where winning 70% of your games gets you fired. Why the heck would anybody set themselves up for that? Talk about impossible expectations….

I love it! Cold, Calculated Indifference while steamrolling you opponent. That is a far more demoralizing statement than showboating will ever be.

Never have cared for it. Especially when it is a defensive back jumping around like a sap when he didn't do anything to make the play, the receiver dropped it or the QB missed the throw. I long for the days of “give the ball to the ref and move on to the next play.”

Well, the uni combinations have become a part of the Ducks culture and are aimed at a much younger set than I hail from. I like the solid colors (all green, all yellow, all white, all black) the best. I like the apple green, the forest green, the lightning yellow, and the ice white colors. I did not like the greys, the throwback blues, the eggshell greys, or orange socks. At least we saw green and yellow! I agree with David Marsh that yellow helmets would have looked better.

While I despise the mutts and am unable to wish them to win, in this case, I (like Charles) will enjoy seeing the Ducks dash their hopes and destroy their dreams later in the year. That, and having a PAC North team trounce one of the traitors gives me reason to root for a bruin loss. In previous years, this would not have been the case.

Great articles over the last couple days! Thanks to DnC and Mr. FD for your outstanding analysis. It will only increase my viewing pleasure going forward. That said, my hope is the DL/Dilly Offense continues its trajectory, and eclipses all records set by the CK/MH Offenses. I also want to see the DL/JT Defense grow beyond BDB to a Stone Wall front with a Lock Down secondary that creates Havoc with opposing offenses while shutting them down completely. We may be a year or two out, but this staff and their recruits have the potential to produce the best Duck teams we have ever seen.

I too, thought it was tipped, and looking at the replay confined it. Surprised the announcers didn’t notice…

I am surprised that is took till the 4th quarter to score the boatload of points needed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! I would have been much happier to see touchdowns scored on each trip to the red zone. Their pick-six was on a tipped pass, and I will reluctantly give them that, but it should have been 21-17 Ducks at the half. Instead we got to go clear to the last half of the last quarter praying WSU would somehow ‘Coug it” for us. (I feel like the Mase Funa pick-six was karmic payback. It definitely brought me to my feet in a happy dance!) It did feel more like we took it from them, more so than they gave it to us. I feel the Ducks outplayed them and deservedly won this one, but what an emotional roller coaster this game was!

.If WAZZU is gonna coug it, they better start soon

Why do we turn vanilla in the red zone?

Good ponder point DuckIt, I have wondered the same myself. I was positive the NS and JF would have lit it up by now, but so far, I couldn’t have been more wrong…

I am absolutely for live streaming PAC 12 games. I am quite frankly, fed up with ESPN and their BS. I have boycotted having cable tv for well over a decade. I enjoy streaming NFL Thursday Night Football and have no lagging issues. I would live stream PAC 12 football (or basketball or track & field) in a heartbeat!

David, you bring up a very good (and valid) point. I have long felt Oregon was doing a disservice to the young QBs who chose UO, and that it would at some point start to discourage promising young QBs from choosing Oregon. IMHO, the win now attitude has become prevalent in every sport, to the detriment of all. It is not limited to the fans, but includes boosters, ADs, even players.

After yesterday, 9-4 or even 8-5 looks like as good as we should expect.

I find it hard to believe that either TT or JB are that much worse than bone x. That they are so much worse they don’t even get a chance when you are down 28-0. What we witnessed yesterday was a train wreck. I hope and pray DL and this coaching staff can turn this thing around.

I guess I am most saddened by the Mari -like insistence on refusing to give another QB a chance to compete. I actually thought DL would give TT of JB a chance to compete in an actual game once it was out of reach. IMHO, this game was out of reach once Bone X (an apt nickname he earned in the SEC) threw his second pick directly into the arms of a Georgia defender. There was absolutely no reason to stick with him in the second half. This blind allegiance to transfer QBs can only hurt OBD, and is hard to stomach. Yet Again…

Sewell has tackles, where is Flowe?

I seem to remember something similar coming from a tOSU writer last year. I just want to see the game! Go Ducks!

A lot of the commenters on that board seem to feel the same way about Bo that I do. He is experienced and has played in the SEC. That don’t impress me much. I think Ty and Butters both have a higher ceiling, they just need playing time.

Wonderful tongue in cheek satire, thanks Alan! I loved the well scoreboard and meaningful pictures, but spit up my coffee at “The University of Snakes & Cretins and the University of Clueless Lunatics & Addicts ” Thank you for jump starting my Saturday! Go Ducks! I write this while sitting at Reagan International, sitting across the aisle from a glowering Husky fan who must be jealous of the magnificent “O” on my shirt compared to the pitiful purple “w” on his windbreaker.😎

If NS and BD are saying those things about JF, you know he is going to make an impact! September 3 can’t get here soon enough! Here is hoping the Duck Defense plays balls to the walls and gives Georgia a taste of something they haven’t experienced before. Go Ducks!

Ducks 27, Dawgs 24. A fan has gotta hope!

I was trying to post this with my original post, but fouled it All up!

One of my favorite Duck runners. The man ran with attitude! “Go ahead, try to stop me, I dare you!” Got to meet JJ and spend a morning with him. He was blessed to have had some awesome experiences at Oregon and in the NFL. (Off season practice with Peyton Manning!) He embodies the Once a Duck, Always a Duck mentality. Great guy!

Probably the one who catches the most balls for the most yards..: 😁 Go Ducks!
