LOL...YEAH! But, GREAT recruiting tool....FOR US! Says to the world...yeah we have LA and all to do there...but if your truly serious about being DEVELOPED to the best of your abilities...the U of O is where you need to go. Thanks USuC. Now can we get OOOcla to whine about Dante's resurgence as the top Heisman candidate this year. (Please make sure to mention him as the THIRD Oegon QB, in a row, competing for that). OBD loves us some free "pub". Thanks! 😁

AAaaannddd there it is. As soon as college football became NFL-lite "money" ideas started to be put into play by Non-football entities. Always, always seems, looks, feels positive and a greAt idea (sold to us that way), and sometimes it can be, but as Steven A pointed out that when the "profits" hit the bottom line the ONLY concern a "private equity" firm has is for themselves and their Largest investors. Maybe the B1G should have a "chat" with struggling Las Vegas and how their "partnerships" with the "private equity" firms have worked out for them so far. Lord please let the Ducks win the "Natty" before too much of what we love About this sport, that we enjoy and follow so adamantly; gets morphed into simply another "product" to mold, control, manipulate, and bullrushed into squeezing every last penny of profit out of it by people who give an absolute rat'butt about the product that they squeeze the life out of. Hope they know what can-O-worms they are opening and how the echos of the consequence's will become permanent and irreversible to the NFL-lite landscape. Be careful for what you wish for. Monkeypaw energy with this announcement. Go Ducks.

And Never discount a teams desire/obsession of winning at home, especially on a nationally televised top 10 matchup. I can't even count the times that OBD made furious comebacks in the fourth quarter at home, some to still lose by three points or less, some we pull off the incredible comeback win/upset. Those teams up big on OBD didn't "suck" in the fourth quarter, just the desire to defend your home turf and persistence to that goal, brought the Ducks back. Penn State was trying, desperately, to comeback and win the biggest game of the year for them at home. That they almost did, but our team was just a lil bit better thus winning an absolute "classic" in the D. Lanning era. A "thousand cuts" for sure. 🦆🏈🪨's

Another "Man Of Oregon". Good to see in the current social climate we live under. Kudos young Man. 🏆

Welcome to the O(ur)B(eloved)D(ucks) fan club...even if only for a year. Beware though! You maybe, just maybe might run into a OBD fan, or two, with some PTSD, chas'n that elusive "Natty". Lol. But some GREAT football none the less. GO DUCKS. 🦆

YES! Reason this game is the "Game Day" game. Winner of this game will be thrust into the "National Champion Favorite" narrative, while the loser will be a "great team" but XYZ issues will limit their ceiling. (ie: Ohio St last year after loss at Autzen, and we ALL know how that turned out). Regardless of the winner/loser of this game Both teams will be in the playoffs conversation the rest of the year. The playoffs are when you want to have discovered and addressed any weaknesses revealed during the course of the season. Then, is when you want to make "a run". Looking forward to this game. Could be a classic! 🦆🏈🪨's

And of course the inverse to that: How quickly Dante releases based upon the distance of a 300# "edge" barreling down on him with murderous intent!

I think next week many of us "hyper focused" critIcs 🧐 of some elements of OBD's shortcomings may realize that it was mountains outa molehills. (Of course get blown out in Happy Valley and we might have some "mountainous" shortcomings to overcome. 😬) Go Ducks.

Man O Man this is a tough one. Penn St. 34-32 (Last second field goal as time expires) 1 T.O. (Dante will also throw his second INT) 3 Sacks 302 Yds Pass HATE to go against OBD but, at Happy Valley, White Out Pandemonium, two weeks to prepare for OBD. GameDay crowd primed from early am, two of the top rushers in NFL-Lite, B1G conference winning streak Has to end sometime, right? Revenge Game AND "show-me" game for Franklin and his staff. OBD will be in it from the kickoff with several lead changes/ties. Just will run out of time as Penn St. kicks the winning field goal. Will be a win for Penn St comparable to the Ducks win at home, last year vs. Ohio St. For once I hope I am WWAAAaaayyyyy off on my prediction. GO DUCKS!

Yes it will Don't we have a JUCO transfer player wanting to get back his JUCO years? If so then this is certainly good news. Just can't remember which player.

Commitment regarding recruiting has become a leverage tool. Many players are just looking for the largest "paycheck", believing their raw talent will carry them on through to the pros. Many are looking to get paid, but value development beyond what their talent alone allows. Many want to "be" somewhere that they feel they "belong". Many want the "high profile" program to get the most media (traditional and social) attention. Then, many know and Are committed to a program, but why give up all that free "swag" and "courting" by other programs if they "truly" believed you where committed. Being "committed" says to any program that, I believe I have found the place that best meets my needs, whatever those personally are to the individual recruit. Challenging other interested parties to prove them wrong. I believe Lanning and Co. know this. I believe Division St. knows this. I believe most recruits (and their advisors) know this. So like many have already posted. Following recruiting is fun and all. But absolutely no one or nothing to get "excited" about until pen hits paper...and then sometimes not even then...transfer portal and all. Remind me? Didn't we have a 5* recruit who wAs "committed" until days before signing day where he went...elsewhere. BUT, now back where he originally "committed" to and BTW is going to tear up "Happy Valley" in a couple days??? 😉 GO DUCKS!

Ducks Dominate! 57-13 4 TO 4 SKS 270 Yds Pass ( 250 yds Rush) Beavers seriously think of NOT signing the new "rivalry extension" contract proposed this week! 🤔

Against the completely putrid Beaver running game.... < 3.0 ypc. No rushing score. GO DUCKS.

Good to see the "marker in time" for the rise of Oregon Football get a lil retroactive NIL for his place in our collective memories. 👍 Even if it be only unlimited supply of HOPS Valley pale ale. Lol. 🍻

And that's what happens when you FOLLOW you blocking!!!! Go Ducks!

Well not a whole lotta "fire" going on, but efficient and controlled so far. Hope to see a little more bang in the second half. Go Ducks!

Think the coffee has finally started to "kicking". Now let's see if the D is now fully awake

Gooooooo Ducksssss!!

Hmmmm...wonder if that number also includes Linemen (huge, beefy, fast Linemen) from the Pacific isles, and kickers from Australia??? Global talent recruitment agenda! Go Ducks.

Oregon Wins Comfortably (while still in robe and slippers-9am....gawd awful). 47-9 T.O. 3 SKS. 4 237 Pass Yds

Probably the primary difference Penn St. will encounter is the size and speed of the Ducks compared to who they would have played so far. Not that they aren't accustom to that, playing on the B1G, but first time in a season might take a quarter to a quarter and a half to adjust properly. I see that time frame as the perfect opportunity for the Ducks to "pounce" the lions and get up by double digits early and make the "green", in a sea of white, stand out even more! 😉 But first things first. Got us some wildcats and Beavus to lay a smackdown on first! 🦆🏈🪨's

After winning a "Natty" or two and if the Riverwalk park ever reaches its full funding and potential; I can definitely see something like this scenario coming to fruition. A "block party"/Saturday market vibe with monitors throughout the Riverwalk park live streaming the game. Would work Great for September/October games...not so sure about November...never rains at Autzen stadium but everywhere else it does! Fun stuff to contemplate until the narrative changes to favorite Natty contender, after our takedown of Penn St during their "whiteout" the end of the month. Go Quackers!

And just to "appreciate" the Fact that just One decade ago, this photo could not have happened. Today (last night), in ONE game, between two of the 32 NFL teams, we had FIVE players who know that the NFL is just their day job (a very lucrative and hard earned "day job") but in the end "Once a Duck....Always a Duck! And that very program that helped make them the men and players they are today, is proving its ability to send Duck brothers to the NFL. What a great way to show it to all the "future" Duck brothers. 🦆🏈🪨's

OREGON 43-13 2 TO 4 SKS 253 YDS Pass GO QUACKERS!!!!

Uncle Phil? Is that you? 😆
