Yeah while in bed trying to fall asleep last night my thought was we'd probably take 3 out of 10 tries. They are simply a little better than us when we play them.

There was one angle showing the pass was going to be slightly behind Franklin. With the defender so close I assumed it was going to be broken up anyway.

I have no clue who the Doc is or what he wrote, but we're all in a bad mood including yourself. So please make sure you take deep breath and give us a little grace before swinging the ban hammer please.

The players were flat footed for the first 20 minutes, reactive instead of attacking. A reflection of their leader I guess.

Both teams have a large number of transfers. It's like Deboer get the players to believe they are Huskies and truly want to destroy the ducks and Dan gets our players to believe the rivalry is important to the Oregon program and fans so we don't want to lose.

Drinking and driving is really bad. That being said, I don't blame any Beavers for drowning their sorrows at this point though. They lost the civil war bad, fantastic HC left them along with ten of the conference teams. That's a lot of loss to deal with.

In the video the receiver extends his arm which is often an indicator of but the DB wasn't pushed off his spot, and didn't even complain. Yeah, unlike PAC12 Refs, they let the rivals play. Was it the Washington rivalry game where they threw a questionable pi flag that had the announcer really miffed? As much as it is all of our worst nightmare, it is well within the realm of possibility (and would be modus operandi) for the PAC12 Refs to give the game to UW on an extremely questionable PI call on our DBs, despite it being the championship to determine who goes to the playoffs.

Rib injuries can heal quick, but Penix never took time off and has continued to take hits which could reinjure the area, greatly increasing the time to heal. We really can't say if he's fully recovered. Perhaps the sack at the end of the WSU game really reinjured it, who knows?

Logical deduction would say TJ ruined Penix season, but who really knows. He's also likely been struggling with long covid, with people mentioning he's been having immune system issues basically since the ASU game. Both the injury and and sickness issues would impact the amount of practice he can get, and would certainly make it much harder to maintain composure throwing when under duress. I would hope at this point we've learned that the only wrong strategy with Penix is not pressuring him. You need to do it every single time he drops back. If you have to be one on one with the receivers, then so be it.

DeBoer has done more with less in terms of utilizing the talent he has on his roster. Lanning has done more with less in terms of acquiring talent in a state that doesn't have much locally. DeBoer's Coordinators have out schemed us in both games both coming into the game and in game adjustments. That being said, I do think that since the last game Lanning has been closing the game in maximizing talent and Coordinator scheming. OC Grub nearly blew the game against WSU calling passes when runs were in order, and UW fans have been saying his play calling has been very inconsistent, like the rest of the team.

Vegas is it's own draw if you are traveling, there could be a lot of looky-loos that aren't fans of either team, but wanting to see a great football game. Again, this is likely a playoff quarterfinal. Great reasons to draw a full house at an NFL stadium in a neutral site.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks they need to die. 2026 should be 16-20 team playoff and no conference championships.

Oregon 31-20 1 3 333 Assumes recent trends hold, our D is better, Penix is worse and UW's D is better, especially in the second half, our coaches wise up and UW OC Grub makes a few stupid play calls to kill opportunities.

Tez doesn't have the size to be drafted. He can make more on NIL than he'll get on an NFL practice squad. I'd be shocked if he doesn't use up the remainder of his eligibility.

I think by next year Ty Thompson will be similar to better than DJU in every way. We have QBs beating our door down right now to get our NIL and Stein's coaching. DL and Stein will be picky.

PAC12 website says tickets are sold out for tomorrow's championship game. I checked and Allegiant Stadium holds 65,000 people. Does anybody else remember the championships in Levi's Stadium that were embarrassingly empty of people? PAC12 did 2 good things: moving the championship to Vegas and getting rid of divisions so we aren't in the same fail boat as Ohio State. Wish I could be there, but I'll enjoy the game at home.

I'm just happy to be in a playoff quarterfinal. Win the next 3 games and we're national champions. Can't complain.

Why do you equate the absence of money to wholesomeness, innocence and fun? If I recall correctly Millionaire Bo Nix and his wife were handing out free donuts at the dorms on the first day of class, he discusses his faith, and he's having plenty of fun on the field still.

This. I've always thought that the argument "There are only 4 good teams that could win anyways" is a bad argument. It's a self fulfilling prophecy is what it is. Increase the playoffs to 12 teams and every year thee will eventually be 12 competitive teams as recruits redistribute themselves to playoff contenders that offer a better chance to play. Increase it to 16 same thing Maybe over 20 and you will just be having spoilers in there every year, but that's a long ways from 4. As others have said, you will have lower ranked teams that are hot at the end of the season that could potentially beat anybody, like an Arizona team and it's worth capturing them in the playoffs.

I'd like think I'm seeing continuous improvement in deficient areas from last season to this season and during this season. Therefore I am optimistic that players and coaches will do better in this game than the last time we played them. I don't think you can say the same for UW as a team. Yes, they are excellent at playing up to the moment, but I don't think it will be enough to overcome a Duck team that has improved holistically.

I am so sick of every game being a playoff game. Good riddance. I just want to enjoy my team playing and feel happy when they win, rather than feeling relieved they didn't lose.

I'd love that. Go Bama and FSU this week!

If FSU is #2 and we are #3 don't we play them? And 1 plays 4?

Interesting that you have to get down to #13 to see a team with a worse record placed above a team with a better record. Then you think about the situation with FSU and with Texas and Bama... This committee puts a lot of weight into who is most deserving. More than years past for sure.

I think this is correct. The fact FSU didn't budge tells everyone FSU is in unless they lose. Regardless of the eye test we won't jump them with one loss.
