Urgent: Dan Lanning Needs to Protect Dante Moore
Perhaps the best defense (of the passer) is a good offense against the opponents passer. I'd like to see DL show his defensive lineman ALL of the late and low hits on Dante from game one, and then give them permission to go get their pound of flesh. What goes around should come around. Go Ducks...Stomp out the Cig!

Oregon (Non) Availability Report for Peach Bowl
After watching highlights from the FCS Championship game last night (Congrats to Montana State), I'm convinced that great effort and "want to" can overcome an awful lot of bad breaks. It was surprising the number of great plays that were made on both sides of the ball by athletes counted by most as not good enough to play Division 1. The Davison loss is a bummer for sure, but I am confident someone(s) are going to fill in the gap and wow us with their passion to play for OBD and get us a win Friday. Go Ducks!

Please....Somebody 'Splain This Play to Me....
And since we're on the topic of blatant no-calls, how in the world did this one get overlooked? And they had the audacity to add insult to injury by ruling out JM's miracle one handed catch (which would not have been necessary if his arm wasn't being torn off by the defender). Egregious!

Does College Football Have a QB Developmental Problem?
I found the Cam Ward comparison laughable. As if Cam Ward is the epitome of a college quarterback who came out "NFL Ready". A guy named Bo Nix would have been a much better example for the writer to use, but his "homerism" wouldn't allow him to see beyond the Miami sports scene.

Does College Football Have a QB Developmental Problem?
Interesting review in the Miami Herald of Dante Moore & the supposed "QB developmental problem in college football". What do you think of his analysis? https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/omar-kelly/article314101230.html

Oregon Football: 3 Things We Learned in the Orange Bowl
I'm confident DL is going to come up with a theme that hyper focuses this team for these next two opportunities and rivet's it to its destiny of a national championship. Perhaps something like "Avengers: Endgame" in which the heroes (OBD) seek to retrieve the Stones from the past to reverse Thanos's (Whosiers) present actions, leading to an epic battle where they defeat their opponents and rewrite history. This team's best games are yet to be played! Go Ducks!

Oregon-Texas Tech Post Game Thread
Who knows? It may have been a much different game had Lanning taken that approach. Hard to argue with the edge the defense played with throughout the entire game. That came from somewhere. Perhaps it was a direct consequence of Lanning's approach. In DL we trust.

New Year’s Eve Bowl Games Discussion: Iowa vs. Vandy, & Michigan vs. Texas
Is this the same Michigan team that scored 7 points against Washington? They're up 17 to 10 barely into the 2nd quarter. AND, on the strength of the Big 12, Duke is leading ASU at halftime, and Nebraska is beating Utah.

Cue the next Big win over the SEC pretenders. Michigan leading Texas 10-3.

New Year’s Eve Bowl Games Discussion: Iowa vs. Vandy, & Michigan vs. Texas
Iowa putting together a smash mouth time consuming, game winning drive. A field goal would most likely seal the deal. 34 points against a 10 & 2 SEC team makes 16 against OBD look pretty good.

Oregon Will Romp Because Texas Tech is a Fraud
Well, the uniforms they are busting out certainly signals a butt whooping is in the making. They look JUST LIKE BEAVIS!

"Texas Tech Will Make a MOCKERY of Oregon"
2019 PAC12 Championship. #13 Oregon vs #5 Utah Utah: #1 Rushing Defense in the nation. allowing only 56.3 yards per game. CJ Verdell: 18 Carries 208 yards 3TDs. Oregon 37-Utah 15 final I smell a repeat.

Uniform Reveal for the Orange Bowl
I love our green and yellow school colors. There will always be a place for them. But I really care less what colors we are wearing as long as we are doing stuff like this on the field. Are we not entertained?

Can You Believe the Growth of Benson and McClellan in Just Four Games?
It seems like our offense has become even more dynamic with McClellan and Benson in the starting roles. WS & DL are going to have to come up with an adaptive and creative plan for re-integrating Moore, Bryant and Stewart if they want to take our offense to the next level, or risk returning to our early season level. A great problem to have at this point in the campaign! Go Ducks! Trash the Techies!

Closer Than it Probably Should Have Been: Oregon vs JMU Box Score
Maintaining top to bottom buy in has to be trickier than ever in today's college football environment. When your OC & DC coordinators are wearing two hats and working for two programs, and many of your teammates are weighing their portal (income) options (or have already left), and your first round opponent is down 34 to 3, well, you get what you got last night. I thought the portal losses to the secondary were particularly evident in the second half. Seemed like the old Brady Hoke days when they didn't have a clue what defense they were trying to execute or who they were trying to cover. Oh well, as always, Go Ducks!

GAMEDAY! Oregon vs JMU: Let's Discuss!
So far the script is perfect-get the rust off, re-integrate players returning from injury, and keep the players who helped us win the last 5 rolling!

Our tight ends & receivers coaches are the best in the business IMHO.

Fueled Up: Game Week Video
Love this game week video. Nice to add a layer of lore to one of our great game day traditions! (Helpful hint: Crank up the sound when watching, and try to identify who is riding the Harley???)

Uniform Reveal for Home Playoff Game vs. James Madison U.
With some of the uniform reveals, I've found myself asking, "How can they play their best in those?" With these threads, I find myself asking, "How can they not play lights out in those?" Go Big Green & Yellow!

Potential Candidate for Michigan Head Coaching Job - Kenny Dillingham
Dilly was working with a 5 year starter during his tenure at Oregon. Stein has assembled one of the better offenses in the nation with a first year starter (not counting the partial year disaster at UCLA). There is that to consider!

SEC Championship Game Thread
They'll probably end up a 12 seed and be matched against OBD.

Will The Coaching Carousel Kill Oregon’s CFP Chances?
Couldn't agree more. Stein & Lupoi have had the opportunity to witness the benefits of having coached a team to a national championship, and the impact that has on your future success. I believe Lanning & Company will be laser focused on the opportunity at hand. This isn't something that DL will have to conjure up; it's in the DNA of who Lanning is and the culture he has established. Oregon is not a place (post Willie & Mario) where you burn btridges to get somewhere else. Oregon is a place where you embrace the culture, win the day, and launch into better tomorrows together. As always, Go Ducks!
