I think Lanning will stay but we will need to increase his salary to make that happen. Texas A&M will pay a crazy amount of money for the right candidate. If Lanning is their main target, we will have to pay him $10 million a year and a long term contract to keep Lanning in Eugene.

Besides Oregon and Cal, the game that has my attention is Washington at USC. Since both teams cannot get a loss I will hope for a Washington loss. I believe Oregon will make the playoffs as long as we win out. It should not matter who we play in the conference championship game. My first priority is for Oregon to make the playoffs. My second priority is for Washington to not make the playoffs. Thus, I hope Washington gets a loss today and a second loss to Utah or OSU. A USC win today will make next week a much bigger game and hopefully a much better kick off time on FOX. I do not want to take a chance of having a 7:30pm kick off next Saturday.

Oregon, 63-18, 4, 5, 299

I understand your reasoning that it would be best for our playoff hopes to beat an undefeated Husky team in the Pac-12 title game. If we end up playing them for the title I will enjoy the opportunity to get revenge. My hatred for the Huskies has me wishing for them to get 2-3 losses and we play a different team for the title. If we end up 12-1 and Pac-12 champs I think we will be in the playoffs regardless of who we beat in the title game.

I must disagree. Oregon does not need UW to win. Oregon just needs to win our remaining games. I will be very happy if the Huskies get beat tonight.

The 49ers kicker, Moody missed a 41 yard field goal that would have been a game winner. Even NFL kickers miss from 40 plus when the game is on the line.

I'm glad we gave him the extension. Today's loss and last year's losses to UW and OSU are frustrating but I believe he is the right coach for us. Without the extension we would loose him to someone else. I would love to go undefeated and win a national championship but even with today's outcome I truly enjoyed watching the game. I've seen to many programs striving for the National championship give up on a good coach to only fall into 10 years of crappy football. When we suffered thru the Helfrich final years it was not a guarantee that we would get back to this caliber of football. While I will complain about him for making poor coaching choices, I am happy that Oregon made sure Dan Lanning will be our coach for many more years.

The way Penix throws with accuracy those 50/50 throws seem more like 90/10 throws. Hopefully we see them again in Las Vegas.

The field goal at the end of the game was just one of many plays during the game that Oregon was unable to execute on. Multiple coaching decisions did not help. The decision to not attempt two easy field goals, especially at the end of the first half. Poor play calling on 3rd and 4th down on the last drive. Deciding not to punt deep on the last drive even though the defense had been playing well in the 2nd half. It would be easy to say that if Oregon had blocked better on 3rd and 2 we would have gotten a first down and ran out the clock. Once given the unfortunate task to stop Washington on a short field the defense was unable to make the needed plays. These are some of the reasons, I will not blame Cam for the loss. Yes, he could have made the kick but any number of players on offense and defense could have executed better on their last chances and then Cam would not even be put in that situation. Coach Lanning can also learn that when you are gift wrapped unexpected points at the end of the first half you better dam well take them. I like this site because individual players are not usually called out like this. I'm disappointed to see it happening to Cam.

Thanks for posting. Even with him picking Washington, this type of football talk is enjoyable to watch. Lee makes the show. Gameday needs more of this and less of that previous NFL punter. Hopefully we host Gameday against USC and Lee gets another opportunity to put on the Duck headgear.

I'm not a fan of Urban but he does know good football teams. Let's prove him right.

I've pretty much given up on the gameday show and ESPN. The show really took a turn for the worse when they added that previous NFL punter as a host. My feeling is the only thing that matters is what happens on the field. Show up, play well and get the win. The victory will be even sweeter with the entire gameday crew picking Washington.

Ducks 31-28 2 3 270

This is an easy answer for me. I would always defer to the 2nd half. Close games are decided in the 2nd half. Thus, I want the ball first after halftime.

I think the decision to have a DJ at the basketball games and now the football games is part of the problem. I would rather have the band play and the cheerleaders lead the fans in a GO DUCKS! cheer instead of the DJ screaming into his microphone. Kiss cams, dance cams etcetera might be fun but they do not get the crowd involved with the game. It seems like the university has forgotten that fans come to the games to be entertained by the action on the court and field. At least that is why I go to the games. So my suggestion would be to eliminate the DJ and reduce the amount of blaring recorded music. This would increase the amount of time that the band and cheerleaders can get involved with fan interaction during timeouts. I would think that the band and cheerleaders would enjoy having a captive audience during timeouts instead of an audience that is watching the big screen and listening to recorded music.

Everyone in my group likes how we honor a veteran and a cancer survivor at each home game. It is also enjoyable when other Oregon athletic teams are introduced at the football games.

I agree with OSU and WSU. If USC and UCLA immediately lost their voting rights then the other 8 teams should too.

For the past three years I have purchased Sling during the football season. I will probably buy Sling again this year in October, so I have not confirmed that all of their packages are the same this year but Sling worked great for me in the past. If you purchase the sports pack you should get all of the regional Pac12 channels. ESPN comes with the Orange pack and Fox Sports and Redzone with the Blue pack. I did not buy the combined orange & blue. I have been able to go online and switch between the orange and blue packs whenever I wanted for no additional cost. Last year I would have the Orange on Saturday for college football and then switch to Blue Sunday morning for the NFL's Redzone and then back to Orange for Monday night football. I am the only one in my house that watches Sling so I had no other family members complaining about switching between orange and blue. Hopefully they still allow switching between the orange and blue packages without any additional cost. I do not receive local channels with Sling, thus any games on FOX, I would use my indoor antenna. Fortunately Sling can be purchased one month at a time.

Since you warned us about the slow download times, they did not bother me at all on Friday. This was my go to site on Friday to get up to the minute updates on a very crazy day. I greatly appreciated you providing the many many updates.

Tired of nonstop realignment? UCLA's Chip Kelly may have the common-sense solution WWW.LATIMES.COM UCLA football coach Chip Kelly suggested completely reorganizing college football into a system that more closely mirrors... I like this quote from Chip in the article. I hope this stays the same now that Oregon and Washington are in the conference. Previously, I was concerned about the possibility of a noon eastern start time, 9 am pacific. Over the years I've watched several non conference games that had a 9 or 10 am west coast start time and the west coast team did not seem to wake up until the 2nd half of the game. “When we go to play an East Coast team in the Big Ten a year from now, they’ve told us we won’t play any games before 12:30 p.m. our time, so that would be a 3:30 kick for them, so we’ll stay on our same time schedule because we would leave on Friday, play a game — which would be noon for us, 3 for them — on Saturday and then get on a plane and come back, so it doesn’t affect you from that standpoint because you’re only there for a short time, so you really try to stay on the same schedule that you’ve been on for the whole time.”

I realize these specific schedules for 24 & 25 are no longer relevant since Oregon and Washington have joined the league. This schedule was created within the last 12 months, thus I thought the basic concepts used to create the schedule may continue with the addition of Oregon and Washington. The basic concepts being, limited guaranteed yearly matchups and creating a 2 year schedule with some home and away games against specific teams for the 24 & 25 seasons.

It seems unlikely that we will get to play all three every year. The scheduling model for the 2024-25 seasons only had 11 guaranteed yearly games. I have read that some Big 10 fans believe our game against Washington will be added to the yearly list but not games against USC and UCLA. It will be interesting to see how often we play Michigan and Ohio State. UCLA was scheduled to play USC, Ohio State and Michigan in 24&25.

The Duck ticket office is now selling $40 all session GA tickets again. I'm guessing they added additional bleachers.

The games at Boise State, 2025 and Utah State, 2028 are part of 2 for 1 deals. We get Boise State at home in 24 & 26 and Utah State at home in 27 & 29. For me this makes the road games tolerable. If Coach Lanning gets the Ducks performing on the field like he has in recruiting then I look forward to watching the Ducks destroy BSU inside Autzen in 2024 and 2026. While the risk/reward for games against Baylor, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech are not as desirable as games against top 5 teams, they should be fun and exciting games to watch. They will be games that I am excited to spend a Saturday inside Autzen watching. We are scheduled to play at Hawaii in 2024 along with 3 home games against Idaho, Texas Tech and Boise State. I'm not a big fan of playing the extra regular season game. It will make it more difficult to stay healthy for the end of the season. I would play at Hawaii but then eliminate one of the 3 home games (Idaho) so we stay at 12 regular season games.
