Silver Wings Ducks vs Them? Callback to the game two years ago, on the road, at Texas Tech? Probably will be another defensive play to seal the victory on this one also. Remember how much the talking heads compared TT rise in college football had mirrored in many ways the rise of the Ducks. Sharp Uni's for the quarterfinals. 🦆🏈🪨's

....and I heard him say as he drove out sight. Merry Christmas to All and to All (OBD'S) an elusive Natty-Night! Enjoy the "joys" of life and appreciate the people in your life. Each and everyone of you have a GREAT Christmas season. Peace.

Well Heck! Is even throw in the extra cash to upgrade his SEC mouthpiece to First Class! Later Fawnbaum! Now let's make it so Quackers! Two more games and Ohio St ... Awaits.

I liked the demeanour in the locker room of both Coach and Team. Happy to win, but not happy in the way they won. I do not believe you will see anymore "letdowns", "letups" the remainder of the games Oregon has left to play. GO DUCKS 🦆! Rob The RedRaiders!

Not that I like agreeing with USC but yeah, Notre Dame's absolute refusal to join a conference, even out their schedules home and away, take advantage of its notoriety and tradition to artificially place itself in an advantaged position for post season play, that no other teams get the same consideration for (well maybe a few SEC teams). It is a shame to see another college football tradition fall by the wayside because of the amounts of money involved in letting those traditions die. Notre Dame will continue to "position" itself until they finally agree to joining a conference to ensure they remain the highest earner in whatever conference they eventually, grace their presence with. Until that happens (2035?), ND will be the "thorn in the side" of NFL-lite and will remain so until ND can be assured of preferential treatment to artificially boost their image so as to stay relevant in this new age of NIL, transfer portal, and high stakes program positioning. I don't have to like it but it is what it is. Go Ducks.

Being that I have a "fairly low" definition of a successful season, that being Ten wins each and every season before any playoff concideration, this is my thoughts. Looking at the youth of this team. The loss of both OC and DC coordinators, who have been here for a few years. Lanning still "learning?" the aspects and nuances of playoff football at the NFL-Lite level as The Head Coach. The fact you have to win 4 games vs. the two or single game on the previous iterations of the "playoffs" to be crowned champion. All this makes it that I would be satisfied and concider it a success when the Ducks reach the semifinals and are two games away from that elusive Natty. Honestly, I thought our run would be next year but if there is any true "dark horse" in this year's playoffs that has the ability to plow through to the National Championship, It Be Our Beloved Ducks! (Then we can make Next Year our first "repeat champion" of the D. Lanning era. 😁) 🦆🏈🪨'S

Personally I want Alabama to go down. A win by a three-loss SEC team somewhat "validates" choosing to put a three-loss SEC team, over several 2-loss teams in a twelve team playoff. HOWever, going to a 16 team PO combined with the SEC and ACC going to 9 game conference schedule probably mitigate much of that validation. OU offense is generally...uninspiring, but the defense is formable. Alabama is more balanced on both sides of the ball. If OU can turnover Alabama and minimize their own mistakes, at home, then I think OU pulls out a close 17-14 type game. If not, then same score, opposite result. So. Alabama 17-14.

Great read. My thought is that with NIL, the rush to "get the bag" is not as motivating as it was less than 10 years ago, thus allowing top players to continue to develop in NFL-Lite before moving on to the NFL-Heavy. This in addition to the "free for all" free agency via the transfer portal allows more opportunities to play in/with complete teams thus maximizing your abilities, being surrounded by equal or greater talent. The expectations to Win Now are currently far less demanding in NFL-lite than with the NFL-HEAVY, where you are playing with "grown*ssed", rather large and beefy, MEN that have developed their "ManMeat" against the elite players in all of football. Big difference between a sack from a linebacker two years outa high school and one by a ten year veteran with NFL playing experience. There just is. That all being said, Dante seems to have a solid support structure and people close to him that are more interested in his development, here at Oregon, rather than making a premature push to the NFL-Heavy. At least it appears that way. Dante himself has shown maturity and logic applied to his college career to date, and I fully expect him to make the appropriate and best decision for his professional football career. Dante's is going to have a long and fulfilling career ahead of him. I am hoping that he understands that an extra year under the Oregon banner can and will make him that much more valuable and efficient when he does move up to the NFL-Heavy. As a rabid Duck Dan, I am hoping that the best choice made is to return one more year to Defend(!) our first Natty and secure a second Oregon Football Heisman Winner in the past ten years. Either way we be good. Oregon Football is no longer a team that needs to rebuild after top talent leaves...we simply reload. Probably the most important aspect of the current Dan Lanning era. I am so here for it all! OBD 🪨'S. GO DUCKS!

Certainly some "Quackin" Good News! 🦆🏈🪨's

First of all. Thanks for framing it as "best" path through the playoffs cuz' No Game should/would be easy. Best get that out of the way. That being said..... GO DUCKS! BEAT DOWN THE 'DUKES!
