33-13 DUCKS! 3 T.O. 3 SACKS 213 YDS PASSING See a run heavy game with "safe" passing plays for the QB's that get to play. Fairly vanilla offense with the focus on execution. See how much pressure the reloaded Duck Defense can exert at all three levels. GO DUCKKKKS!

Hmmmmm. Big and Beefy Trench Monsters. No doubt it will take the offensive line 2-3 games to gel and establish communication on a rebuilt offensive line. The talent level of these players will help hide any early season....shortcomings. But by the time we trip out to Happy Valley I have confidence that Coach Terry and company will have them ballin at an elite and dominating level of play. Remember that not only this coaching staff, but NFL-lite coaches across the country are still adapting and adjusting to high player turnover due to the wild, wild West of the transfer portal. (Well except Clemson maybe...lol). No matter where you get your players from and how you tend to utilize them in your football scheme, they still need to learn how to work as a "team" to maximize their inherent abilities to the fullest potential. Thats where the "coaching" comes into play. I believe that both our offensive and defensive line play may actually surprise a lot of sports pundits as the season progresses. But then again...I'm just a hopelessly devoted fan(atic) of OBD so what the hell do I know, Not filtered through that fandom! 🤪. Go Ducks!

It will be interesting to see how/if Tosh continues in his "growth" as the Ducks DC. He has definitely shown growth from his days in (California?) and Jacksonville, but still seemed out coached by his college football nemesis, Chip Kelly last year in the playoffs. Defense being D.Lannings "cup o tea" and the fact that he himself seems to have a lot of confidence in Tosh as his DC since bringing him in four years ago, gives me hope that they are both on the same page, defensively, and are creating one of the more dominantly consistent defenses in all of NFL-lite football. However if future games arise that Tosh seems to be a "day late and a step behind" the game plan of the opposing offense, with no clear in-game adjustments to counter, then it would not surprise me to see some interest in taking our DC in a different direction. D. Lanning will NOT wait forever for his vision of dominating defense, year in and year out, to become reality. Here's hoping Tosh has continued his progression as OBD's defensive coordinator. It can only bode well for OBD this year and into the future. Go Ducks (T-minus 3 days, 5ish hours)! QUACK! 🦆🏈🪨's

Mega corps are goin' to "megacorp". Us lowly "data points" are just that and not truly part of the overall equation as long as they can get more of the dinero'. Sad to see but nothing will change anytime soon, so we are all along for the ride. One way or another I will partake in watching and cheering OBD to their first Natty...even if I have to "slog" through the accessibility BS. Go Quackers (t-minus 4days/4hours)

Kinda get the "Stacey" vibe from this one. Good Luck with that.

Oregon played Iowa St in a Fiesta Bowl??? Must have missed it from having triple secret probation Covid. Did we win? 😆

Eeehhh. What's Up CFP? Where be all da' dollars goin'? 🤔 SSHHHHH....Be very, very quiet. We be hunting "profits". Heheheheheh. 😉

WHEN Oregon Wins the National Title Playoffs, this Man will be pivotal in that success. Outside of his on field control and mastery of the QB position, This shows even more reasons why Gabriel Deserves the Heisman. Please let me be pleasantly surprised https://athlonsports.com/college/oregon-ducks/one-social-media-post-tells-you-everything-you-need-to-know-about-dillon-gabriel

If Evan (and his agent) are truly testing the NFL market for his talents, that can Only be a Good thing for OBD over the next three games. Evan will be 'ballin his butt off" to help elevate and cement his value for the draft, if these are indeed his last three games as a Duck. Loved his response and want to see him live up to it. Evan helps us win the Natty I will personally drive him to the ESPN draft day extravaganza while wearing my Duck gear, head to toe! Let's GO Ducks!

Absolutely LOVED this Man and the intensity he brings to the field. So happy for him that he has a football championship and with a whole lot more to go. Wish all of our walkons had his heart and intensity. Congrats Dude. You earned it!

Gabriel Absolutely Earned his way to NY. I do believe Bo's "body of work" was more impressive, but Bo had two years here, compared to Gabe's single season. I would love to be pleasantly surprised to see Gabe walk off with the hardware but the simple matter of fact is that the Oregon Ducks Football team is exactly that, TEAM. We do not need to depend on one or two players to "carry" our team to the successes OBD has achieved. I congratulate Gabe on being the Team leader he is and want to see him close out his career with a Natty. I think Gabe would prefer that "group" success over an individual award with no championship in the end. Just glad to see OBD players getting the proper recognition they deserve. Gabriel and his fellow Duck brethren Rock! Go Ducks!

Ok. Let me see if I have this correct. Oregon, on its way to the B1G title, beat the two National Championship teams from 2023, beat the "traditional" top three teams in the B1G (Michigan / Ohio St / Penn St., plus an always annoying Wisconsin team), and now are slated to the possibilty of beating the three top teams in the SEC (Tennessee / Texas / Georgia), if the bracket plays out as "expected". So, when this comes to pass, in the end we would have played, and beaten, 6 of the top 10 ranked teams and 7 of the top 25 ranked teams when we hoist that (1st) National Championship Trophy! No B1G or SEC champion has EVER had a gauntlet such as this on the way to their "championships"! Again, OBD will Have to be viewed as the Greatest, most tested, NFL-lite Champion of ALL times! And after twenty-five years of near misses to a "Natty", achieving one in such a way would be...historical! I am SO here for it all! GO DUCKS! 🏆🦆🏈

Ahhh Yesss. I believe those unavailable "strength of" metrics may be the the SOB (BlueBlood) and SOP (Profit). Which in the current committee based selection process likely supercedes SOS or SOR! Don't matter. Line em up and dem Ducks will knock em down! Go Quackers!

The next three games for OBD are the "bowling pins". OBD is the "bowling ball"! Three strikes in the "tenth" (ok...14th, 15th, 16th) for the (National Championship) WIN! 🦆🏈🪨's

Just more "fodder" for us Ducks fans to use "against the winds", to justify and celebrate our soon to be national champions Ducks as the Greatest National Champs....ever! Go "Natty" Ducks!

Awesome, competitive game and I really thought that Shelstad "dagger three" with like less than 5-6 seconds on the clock was the game winner. Unfortunately UCLA had one in their back pockets to "knife through the heart us" in that little bit of time left. Still, a loss like this will probably serve the team, in a positive way, in the big picture. Can't win em all, but 9-1 a third of the way through the season, with three Quad 1 wins, is an enviable place to be in. Keep on grinding hardwood Ducks!

Biggest "threat" was/is the selection committee. That being said a first round matchup for OBD between the third place team from either the SEC and B1G in the Rose Bowl will be must watch TV. How it is fair that Georgia gets the fourth best team in the B1G or an independent ND. Boise St gets second placed team from either the B1G or ACC, and ASU gets the second place SEC team (Texas) or the 3-loss surprise ACC winner (Clemson); will probably have to be addressed before next seasons playoffs, but I won't hold my breath. As I have stated before, Because of this "inequity" in the seeding of the playoffs, When OBD win the national championship in January it will HAVE to be viewed as the Greatest championship run in modern NFL-lite history, because of the gauntlet that had been laid before them. And I am here for it! Of course ESPN and it's "pundits" will still be bringing up the narrow victory vs Idaho as why OBD is not "really" that good. (Everyone else is Obviously having a "down" year). Regardless of the playoffs beat down OBD is about to release on the NFL-lite twelve team playoff, that will leave a "bad"(Duck) taste in the mouth of the BlueBlood programs mouths, they will Not be fazed (FEBU). And this too I am Definitely here for also! LETS GO, CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST, DUCKS!

2024 B1G Champions OREGON! 25-17 2 Turnovers 3 Sacks 272 Yds Passing 🦆🏆🏈🪨's

Good Combo for the "wrapping up" of the B1G conference in our first year. I guarantee that as OBD advances through each round of the playoffs (3 or 4 games) that the uniform combos will get more and more "fresh", with a nod to tradition. When we make it to the Natty I would Love to see the 'ole "Duck" pushing through, not the original "O", but the new "O" (on same green helmet as this combo). For me that would not only look cool 😎, but would pay homage to the 25 year history of OBD's journey to finally winning a Natty. As long as the playa's "bring it" they could be outfitted in whatever color scheme / combo you can think of, just as long as they Win It while looking goood in doing so! Go Quackers!

Poor shooting, limited ball movement, FOULS, and they still found a way to win. Nice to see Shelstad again in the second half (where ya been homie?). First time this year he literally put this team on his back and went through USC via the free throw line. (Half his points came from the stripe) Fifth comeback for the win this year and the third after being down by double digits at halftime. Dana put it perfectly. "It's certainly nice to be 9-0, but we have a very long way to go to being a really good basketball team". I agree, but this team has showed a tenacity and drive to NOT lose regardless of how the game flow goes. This first nine game "flow" should serve them well in the B1G, especially during the month of January. If they "tighten things up" then this will be a very dangerous and competitive team moving into March Madness. Glad for the team and for Dana. Now let's make this thing "roll"! Go Ducks BB!

Ok ..ok ....ok. I get it. New kid on the block. Gotta "make em" Earn it! So let's make sure that IF they get in as a #1 seed that they will have a significantly more difficult path to a championship. WHEN OBD finishes running the 2024 gauntlet set before them, back at the beginning of September, and WIN their first Natty under DL, it will HAVE to be viewed as the Greatest Championship run by Any NCAA football power! Then, grudgingly, the Blue bloods will have to Deal With a little bit of Green Bloods crashing their "exclusive" party! Can't wait for P Fawnbaum and the ESPN narrative to make whatever excuses they can muster on why this has happened. Tough T***ies! Just going to have to "suck it up" and accept the fact that there is a "new sheriff" in town and he is "Damn Green! 🦆🏈🪨's!

So far, so good. Any word on OBD's transfer portal...in or out? And yes I too miss the "waiting for faxed (yeah I'm Old!)" letters of intent to come across the board. But we are in a different era altogether now, so I will just have to play those memories out in my dreams. Go Ducks! Let's get another top 5 recruiting class!

Yeah he is! And going into my fantasy football league playoffs as the number one seed, Thanks to Sir Bucky Irving! Now only if I had been able to have also drafted Bo! Go Ducks!
