  1. In Altman I have trusted since 2010.  He seems to always get his players to peak by March.  I am more than content to let him coach this team up.

     

    I think Dana can and will turn this group around in time for a tourney run in March.  
     

    I also believe in Altman, Graves, and Cristobal.  All three put a respectable team in the game.  They may not win every game, but what coach does?  They alway finish at or near the top of the PAC.

     

    I personally cannot recall a three-year period where 3 different Duck teams ended their seasons ranked as high as MFB, MBB, and WBB have been in the last 3 years.

  2. Charles, thank you again for your tireless dedication to providing a safe place where we fans of OBD can come to learn new and timely information about the Duck teams we love.

     

    We can share our thoughts, hopes, frustrations, and even anguish with each other or we can simply read about the thoughts, hopes, frustrations and anguish of our fellow fans. We may not always agree (what family does?) but we are united in our fondness for OBD!

     

    It is my fondest hope to all readers of this forum that each of you and yours have a safe, happy and healthy Thanksgiving weekend, punctuated by a thorough stomping of little brother!

     

    Go Ducks!!!

    Mr.Cristobal system cost the conference 6 million and our players the chance to showcase their talent at the playoffs 

     

     

    Or to put it another way, “Mr. Cristobal’s system came far closer to gaining the conference 6 million and getting his team into the playoffs than did any other coach in the conference.”

    I really don't think that many here are thinking that, but I do think most wish he could/would solve his issues.

    I agree Charles that most are not thinking that.  But there are a vocal few that seem to be saying precisely that they want him gone.

     

    With that kind of attitude/thinking, Rich Brooks not Mile Bellotti would never have gotten Oregon to a Rose Bowl.

     

    It is too easy to forget that this is a game.  Played by kids. On any given day, Murphy’s law can and will rear its ugly head.  Often times, the best team does not win.  IMHO, it just seems way too early to be calling for MC’s head.

    Even if they can't recruit at Mario's level, they'd be hard pressed to coach any worse than he does.

    I’m pretty sure there are at least 9 in the PAC 12 and well over 2/3 of existing coaches nationwide that coach worse than MC.

  6. I have to confess, I have had doubts about the Ducks beating the Beavs since I watched the Beavs run the University of Spoiled Children into the ground.

     

    I am not feeling any better now after watching what Utah (who lost to the Beavers) did to us last night.  The Ducks are going to have to shake off last night and play to their potential in order to win this next game,

  7. About the only thing I can think of that would kill my enthusiasm for Duck football would be firing a head coach for going 9-3.  That would simply disgust me.

     

    What coach in their right mind would even want to work for a program that would do that.

  8. Not only is the game formerly known as the civil war being played for state supremacy this year, the PAC 12 North championship goes with the Platypus this year!

     

    Can OBD bounce back and claim the title of King of the North?  Do they have 3 more victories in them?  And if they do take the north, can they beat the Utes in Las Vegas? 
     

    The Salt Lake Shellacking could be the dagger that ends the 2021 campaign, or it could be the wake up call needed to take it to the next level.  We shall see next weekend.  Win, and the Rose Bowl is still on the table.  Lose, and what, Sun Bowl?  Just askin questions of my fellow FDF followers…
