Thank you for sharing the roster. I just printed it and will use today.

I am curious. Is this equivalent to a thumbs down emoji? Many times in the past few months I have wanted to either type Yawn or show a GIF of someone yawning. I decided not to do this because I felt it went against the spirit of the FishDuck rules.

David, I am enjoying the discussion. Thanks for your original post and your other responses. I found some information that the NCAA added a 30 day window for transfers starting when a coach leaves a program. See links below. https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/eligibility/transfers/D1_TransferRulesQuickTipsCoaches.pdf https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football/alabama-football-nick-saban-retirement-transfer-portal-player-rules

I hate the Huskies as much as anyone but I believe the difference between what happened at each school this week had more to do with the coaches at each school than one school being a destination and the other a steeping stone. Oregon is a destination school for Coach Lanning because he chose to make it his destination school. Lanning is building a program that can win a national title because of his recruiting ability and the support he receives from his family and the University of Oregon. A different coach might still see Oregon as a stepping stone. Just like DeBoer saw UW as a stepping stone. Fortunately OBD hired the right person this time. Thank you Coach Lanning for making Oregon your destination school.

'Even if a power conference head coach were to leave their school for the Huskies they couldn't bring their roster with them yet because the portal window is closed. They'll have to wait till spring.' I thought the ability to enter the portal opened up once a coach leaves a program. Husky players are entering the portal now due to DeBoer leaving for Alabama. This would make the Husky job more attractive to a current power 5 coach vs not being able to bring players from their old team.

My worst nightmare is Lanning leaving and going to Alabama or anywhere else.

Lanning is being mentioned as a possible replacement in the Tuscaloosa news. Alabama football coaching search: 4 candidates to replace Nick Saban WWW.TUSCALOOSANEWS.COM Who will replace Nick Saban? Here are some early Alabama candidates for next Crimson Tide football coach.

No! For some strange reason you chose to do it.

Thank you Michigan. 34-13. Thanks for sending the huskies home with a big loss.

Not rooting for either team. Strongly rooting against the Huskies.

Wow, Surprised UW run defense was so bad on the opening drive. Michigan up 7-0. GO Michigan, destroy those darn Huskies

I think you are probably kidding. But, No, it would not be great. I am enjoying this years MBB team very much and I am looking forward to them reaching the Big Dance. We seem to have a special group of players that are playing very well together. I will not hope for mediocracy just to keep money from the PAC2.

I was giving examples of other heated rivalries were they do not relish in the success of their hated rival. I am disappointed so many Oregon fans can find joy in watching the Huskies have so much success. I agree that east coast bias is real. Washington winning a national championship will not change east coast bias. Washington winning a national championship will have an immediate negative impact on Oregon's ability to recruit against the Huskies. A Washington National Championship will bring bragging rights for many many years to the Huskies. I am not willing to cheer for Washington Husky success to try and piggy back on their success. I want Oregon to be the best team on the west coast and in the nation. I am willing to wait for OBD to earn a national championship on their own. In my opinion Washington success does not help Oregon attain their goals. There is no way of knowing, if Oregon would have made the four team playoff this year with a win in the Pac12 Championship game. It's fine to state an opinion but it is not a fact. Oregon could have absolutely made the playoffs, if they had finally beaten the huskies in the PAC12 Championship game. If OBD had been kept out the playoffs, pro SEC bias not anti west coast bias would have been the reason. ESPN and pro SEC bias is the reason FSU was kept out of the playoffs and it why Penix did not win the Heisman. ESPN controls the SEC bias and Washington winning on Monday night will not change it. The move to the B1G greatly reduces the chance of west coast bias keeping the west coast teams out of the expanded playoffs. We are now part of the two chosen conferences. We do not need a Washington National Championship for Oregon to achieve their goals. Thus, why in the heck would any duck fan want to see their hated rival win a national championship? GO DUCKS, Go Michigan

OBD football use to be worse than what OSU and WSU are currently. I have been a Duck fan long enough, 50+ years, that I can remember opening up the local newspaper and seeing OBD being in the Bottom 10 rankings along with Oregon State every week. My State of Oregon pride would cause me to root for any win by Oregon or Oregon State. I have entered Autzen Stadium to see both endzones covered in purple. It was sickening to see that much purple inside Autzen and their disrespect towards Oregon made it even worse. I was at the Seattle Bowl and witnessed Husky fans confronting the Ngata family prior to the opening kick off. Yes, husky fans paid for tickets just to be able to talk crap to Duck fans. During the great Jody Runge era the Husky coach couldn't beat the Ducks on the court so she falsely accused Duck fans of spitting on her throughout the game. These are some of the reasons I will never hope for Husky success. Some Duck fans are willing to forgive and forget but not me. GO DUCKS, Go Michigan

Obviously, you are free to root for any team you like. But, I completely disagree with your theory that Washington success helps Oregon. The east coast people do not equate Washington wins to mean Oregon is good. They do not spend any energy or time thinking about such things. Thus, the only thing that helps Oregon is for Oregon to beat Washington, Ohio State and Michigan. Our ability to be the best program in the west and nation is not helped by having the Huskies win a national title. Do you not realize that winning a national title makes Washington the best team on the west coast and the nation. This is exactly what OBD is striving to accomplish. I will not root for the Huskies to accomplish our goals just because some duck fans feel better if we loose to the eventual national champions. My dislike of the Huskies did not occur overnight. The Huskies have earned my dislike of them over the past five decades of their arrogance towards all things Oregon. Maybe you and other duck fans can ignore the arrogance and hatred that the majority of Washington fans have for Oregon but I cannot. I will be cheering for Michigan to destroy that hated team from the north. Do you think Auburn fans cheer for an Alabama national title? Will Ohio State be cheering for Michigan? Did South Carolina fans feel like the football world gave them credit when Clemson won their national titles? I am a Duck fan that refuses to live vicariously thru the success of the Washington Husky football program. GO DUCKS and on Monday night Go Michigan!

I respect Deboer and this years Husky team but I hope Michigan stomps on them and gets a blowout victory. No, I do not want to be battling the Huskies every year. I want OBD to not only be the dominant team on the west coast but in the B1G and nation. Husky success does nothing to help Oregon. Continued Husky success will start to hurt OBD in recruiting west coast talent. My two favorite teams are Oregon and whoever is playing Washington. Go Michigan.

Texas fans must be pissed at those final 4 plays. The last play has to be catchable in the endzone. I was so excited to think that the Husky fans were going to have a gut wrenching last second loss but it wasn't meant to be. Oh well. Go Michigan!

Who is Coach Mastro calling a clown? I'm no expert on the platform X formerly known as Twitter. My thought is he is calling Leavitt a clown. If he agreed with the Leavitt post would he not post a or . A friend asked me and I'm not sure. Maybe Mastro thinks both are clowns.

Oregon, 56-21, 3, 3, 375

Wow, fire one third of OBD athletic staff. This is one life long Duck fan and proud Alumnus that strongly disagrees with that idea. I understand that Rob is evidently fair game but to attack the hard working members of the Oregon athletic department seems wrong to me. These people have helped to make Oregon one of the nations premier athletic programs. Firing one third of the staff would not only have a negative impact on OBD but would also be devasting for the employees and their families.

With the CFB Playoffs expanding to twelve teams, OBD should not play thirteen regular season games in 2024. Oregon's goal is to play in the B1G Championship game and then in the expanded playoffs. It will be difficult to stay healthy for those late season games even without the extra game in Hawaii. Having an experienced QB in Gabriel, is another reason why OBD should only play three non conference games in 2024. If OBD was starting a young QB then it could be argued that the risks of an extra game could be offset by the game experience that the young QB would gain by playing. Considering the late season goals of OBD, I have been worried about the short and long term additional injury risks associated with playing the game in Hawaii. I will be pleased if the game is removed from OBD 2024 schedule. I do feel bad for the Duck fans that have been planning on attending the game.

Oregon can look good by beating Liberty. I never want to ride the coat tails of the Washington Huskies. If Oregon needs to rely on the Huskies winning a game to make OBD look better then that is just pitiful. The thought of the Huskies winning any game is a disgusting idea to me. I did not want to see an undefeated Husky team in the PAC12 Championship game because I did not want the Huskies in the playoffs. I absolutely do not want the Huskies to win a national championship. Do you really think that the Huskies want Oregon to have any success? I hope Texas destroys them. In the early 90's my friends and I had sweatshirts made that said 'My two favorite teams are Oregon and whoever is playing Washington" We wore the sweatshirts to the Oregon game at Husky Stadium. Thirty plus years later and I still feel the same way.

I noticed the ad video last night. I have not noticed it yet today.

I use both my laptop and phone. I have noticed the ad video. My phone has not been slow.
