By the time PK goes the way of his forefathers OBD will be close to or at full revenue sharing in the BIG, which will be somewhere around $100 million a year (give or take $20 million). With Oregon's strong brand (The GOAT of brand equity?), fiscal management, facilities, NFL presence, etc, etc, I don't see us EVER going the way of the Cowpokes. IMHO.

He disproved the notion that $ makes better football programs when his boys struggled to beat hugely underfunded UT Martin. Apparently $ is not an issue until you face someone who makes better use of it than you do. Come on Gundy, you're better than that. Maybe...

These uniforms look made to induce a hair on fire game for OBD!

Does the Bear emerge from hibernation hungry and ready to eat?

Speaking of sweet memories...this one in OT against the Mutts was particularly delightful. Also a reminder that the uniforms always look better after a nice win.

I think soft defense is sort of a systemic thing with OBD. It goes with the territory/history of glitz, glamour, speed and likability. IMHO we need a few more dirt dogs like this to set the tone for tough defense:

Tez doing his thing in Tampa Bay:

So many angles on this one. While competing for the starting QB position is an asset, you cannot underestimate the impact of being (and knowing) that you are the guy. IMHO it changes the way you lead, play, and turn adversity into accomplishment. While Bo & Dillon came in with a lot more experience (not all good), they didn't have "the benefit" of competing for the quarterback position through camp, yet managed to hit the field ready to win games. For what it's worth, I too trust the DL & WS process, but I can't help but lean towards naming the guy who is going to take the reins ASAP.

It was the uniforms! (Isn't that always the case with OBD?) Mark Helfrich was done in by a series of uniform debacles. Consider: The disgusting "Oregon Trail" threads that became a point of humor for the Pirate (WSU coach Mike Leach) after beating us in Double OT at Autzen The clownish "Daffy Duck" orange socks uniforms that set the stage to be roasted by Colorado at home The retro "Cal Leather Helmet" combination that made us look like absolute buffoons against the Bastard Huskies in our 70 to 21 loss at home I'm convinced it was the fashion faux pas combined with fittingly ugly home losses that sparked the ire of Duck fans and decision makers. Ultimately, Mark was done in by equipment fails.

How could the coach who called this play EVER be considered for COY? "Running back C.J. Verdell of the Oregon Ducks fumbled with time running out against Stanford in a game played on September 22, 2018. The fumble occurred while Verdell was fighting for extra yardage. Stanford recovered the fumble and went on to tie the game with a field goal, eventually winning in overtime. This loss was particularly difficult for Oregon, as they had seemingly sealed the victory before the fumble occurred." Ya think?

I think they went with WSU.

U.W. lost to WSU 24 to 19 at home on Sept. 14th last season, so they are now proud owners of a 4 game home winning streak. I know because I celebrate Husky losses almost as much as Duck wins (maybe even a bit more!). Go Ducks!

After giving up a 2 run dinger in the first, the Rodents put of 7 in their half of the inning, with 4 of them coming on 2 HR's from the 8 & 9 hitters in the lineup. Impressive for the Marsupials.

Ducks up 9-6! Playing small ball to perfection!

Runners at the corners with 1 out. A couple of insurance runs would be sweet! StatBroadcast Live Stat Feed STATS.STATBROADCAST.COM

End of the 8th, OBD still up 7-6!

Makes me wonder what happened to Ross James in the off season? Seems like he found his way into DL's dog house. It also suggests that you better not lose your edge & dedication during the off season if you want to see the field on this team!

SEC & Big Ten I think. Point well taken though!

Ducks looked pretty flawless in this 9 - 0 run rule win. Flying High!

Tuned in occasionally. Every time I did, I couldn't keep it on because our pitching looked so atrocious. This against a team that has 6 wins. Make that 7 after spanking OBD.

OBD better be on their game tomorrow. In today's action #12 McNeese is routing #5 Clemson...up 40 to 18 midway through the 2nd half. Clemson is jacking up 3's like there is no tomorrow, which is what it's going to be for them! Classic 12 vs 5 matchup. Go Ducks!

Regarding how good Indiana is: They beat Purdue 73-58 down the stretch and would have finished on a 7 game win streak had they not lost to OBD twice:)

Wow, is Nate Bittle one of the best big men in the country? 36 points, 3 of 4 from beyond the arc, 7 of 8 from the free throw line, 12 rebounds. It's tournament time! AND, he may be back next year for a curtain call.

TJ = Turnover Jinxed. 5 turnovers and there is still plenty of time to get more. But, he is 3 for 9 on his shot attempts and O for 4 outside the arc. The man is a tour de force today! Oh, and he also has more fouls than anyone on the team. Jeez.

Easy to imagine the conversations taking place in the weight room: "What kind of NIL money did you get? How much? I'm gone!"
