Isn't Lupoi screaming, ball, ball, after the ball on the sidelines in the latest Ducks v Them Recap, just before that play? If so, then yes just the way Lupoi "drew it up". 🤔

Indiana, tOSU, longshot Penn St.....whomever. Ducks will be there waiting to continue "adjusting" the B1G conference to Oregon. Next. 😐

"Young Concrete". 👍 Gotta Love It! One "concrete wall" you Ain't going to run through for "the Coach". You can try!....but *see above! You have been warned. 😉

WAIT! WHAT! Didn't they "clinch" that spot few months ago at the B1G media days???? At least that was the impression DL gave to us. Go Ducks!

Metrics, tiebreakers, "perceived" eye tests or strength of schedule ALL take a secondary consideration when it comes to generating the max "eyeballs" and "revenue generation" to the TV execs. You could have all the credentials, position, and experience in the world but 12 teams ARE going to be part of a playoff and in the hearts and minds of the power brokers in this new NFL-lite, what could it hurt to "nudge" the way the selections are seeded to maximize the revenue that this event generates. Yes. Four B1Gs in the top 5, but that Will change as the rest of the conference schedules play out. Next week, primarily because of the SEC, beat down a G5 "bye" weeks, we will see movement Up of all the SEC teams with a cooresponding drop for at least 1, if not 2 B1G teams. This will be used, as it always is during the final two weeks of each football season, to "pimp" the SEC once again as such an "overwhelming" tough conference that, of course, they "deserve" one more team in the playoffs than any other conference. I hope I am wrong and that there is no "influence" by the TV/Streaming powers that be on the directions the selection committee takes in selecting and seeding. But then I would be being Naive. Not that it matters to OBD for they will win, anytime, anyplace, just give em the chance! Go Ducks!

May be just enough of a loss to allow an Indiana team to better compete with tOSU late in the fourth quarter. Should be "a game"! Nice to be able to sit back this week and let the chaos reign around us. Go Ducks!

Psychopathic/Crazy like a fox. The dude Is "The Dude!" So lucky he enjoys Eugenian green grass. Let's keep that grass well watered! Go Ducks!

Hell, honestly I think he "portals" in to those spots against the zone. He Always seems to find that one seam! Yes we need him 100% going into the postseason. Go Ducks!

Hear That?! Sounded like a collective groan from all the corners, safeties, and linebackers who now have Mr Tez Johnson back on their plate. Sucks to be you. 😁

I think it was made clear when a month or so ago the playoff committee said they would NOT avoid conference rematches in the playoffs. Here's what I think the playoff committee has in store for the Ducks and the field. Primary focus. One SEC team in Each bracket. Two: Load up one half (side) of the bracket with the B1G teams. Three: If the wins and losses fall "correctly" the committee would Love to see Oregon have to play...Boise St / Alabama, Miami, then Georgia in the championship. The narratives and storylines for the pundits to talk about for that playoff month would be music to their ears if this were come to pass. Which if the Ducks "won-out" against that "wind" would have to be considered the best college football champion of all times. Of course if they Lost any of those along the way it would be "fodder" for the talking heads. In two years the conference championship games WILL be the first round of (seeding) the playoffs or will be eliminated all together. Either way dem Ducks are going roll!!! Go Ducks!

FEBU you all . FEBU.

Yeah, if I am remembering correctly didn't DL, at the B1G media days, have something to say about The B1G having to adjust to Oregon instead of the other way around? Nice Try B1G. Maybe next year you can schedule OBD to a 13 game schedule to everyone else's 12. 9 game straight, 6 on the road (three of those at night @tOSU, Mich., Penn St), conference schedule. Oh and DL banned from the sidelines for three of the other games for "innovation and loophole" personal foul penalty. Then maybe, just maybe, the B1G and OBD will actually Be on a level playing field. 😉 GO QUACKERS!

This game had all the vibes of an OR/STAN game back when Stanford was relevant. Oregon football has always had a letdown game or two each season. Stanford, Washington St., California, AZ schools in the desert, have all given highly ranked, championship, caliber OBD teams fits in the past. This last game was no different than any of those others, except it was now a B1G conference foe. I would argue that this was probably one of the better games of the year for OBD. Hostile environment, at night, #1 team "target on you back", eighth conference game in a row with no bye, playing a team that is coming off of a bye AND could have had two more wins than they actually did coming into the game. To execute a game plan, substandard to OBD "standards", and not let a game, which in the past OBD may have actually lost, not get away from them, and to do so in seemingly confident fashion (OBD did seem frustrated but never panicked), makes this a game that will serve them well in the playoffs. It is important for a team to learn how to win ugly just As much as winning through a "complete" game. Championship teams do both! 🦆🏈🪨's

No. No. No. You don't understand. For a USuC fan that actually reflects the fanbases preferred USuC attitude thus, being even more complimentary of DL. 😎

At the beginning of the year I was seeing this as an end of 8game conf stretch letdown game in nasty conditions losing like 28-27. After last week's game I don't see that happening like I expected. That being said: Ducks Win! 39-13 1 TO 2 SKS 272 P.Y.

By design I am sure. The "owners" of those multi-millions of dollars want to make sure the "playoffs" maximize, those multi-millions of dollars. By making sure the "playoffs" closely resemble the business model/predictor that "promises" the maximum return on those multi-millions of dollars. In order to pay-out the multi-millions of dollars to television contracts promised to all those football conferences for their football products "for sale" for multi-millions of dollars. In order to guarantee to add multi-millions of dollars, to their already rather large amounts of multi-millions of dollars. You know. Just like the Mom & Pop store down the road! 😁

Ohhhhh...so now I get what Dan meant when saying the "Grass is pretty Damn Green in Eugene"... euphemism for $$$$$. Silly me. 🙄 Well in a lil over two months I fully expect Dan's adopted home to get a whole lot "greener" for him, as he returns "home" with some "Natty" hardware to go along with, and bolster, all that "green"! 🦆🏈🪨's

You can have our Dan Lanning when you pry him from Duck fans "Cold Dead Feathers!" Ain't gonna 'appen.

Lol...isn't there a television commercial currently running about a bank being "boring" and how "boring" is actually what you want?! Well if I have to be "bored" all the way to the National Championship, then bring it on! Cause I have had more than my fair share of "Duck Stress" to last the rest of my lifetime. I could use a little "boring". 😉

They are "meant" for each other! The "Ego" clash would be....Epic! With Jimmy Johnson Laughing his butt off at the spectacle. Now THAT's "Reality TV" I could actually get into. 😆

Just ask Paul "Fawn"baum. He'll sort it all out by repeating his choices "ad nauseum", morning, noon, and night! Being the definitive expert on the "superior" football conference in the history of all football conferences, now or in the future. Of course the SEC needs FIVE teams in this year since it wouldn't be fair to all those poor 2loss teams that wouldn't have two losses if they weren't playing in such a tough, tough, conference. (Also why next week is "beat down a G5 team in the SEC, Sooo Hard to play another conference game). It's not cannabalizing each other, it's putting on display the overwhelming toughness of the SEC. There fixed it for the committee. Just get Paul on board the committee and we be good! 🙄

This is becoming more and more apparent, as the Dan Lanning Era at Oregon Rises. So much so that college football "pundits" are taking notice at the national level along with other high profile football programs. Even us fans are starting to "see" a difference on how Oregon approaches roster management and, more importantly, the "human" psyque management, something that DL excels at, almost to the point of "gifted". Because of DL and company, Oregon Football may be positioned the best to "manage" the intricacies of the new NFL-Lite more than any other D-1 program. We haven't even begun to see the benefits of this fact. Go Ducks!

Isn't this suppose to be part of the "steps of grieving"? Just always thought that was suppose to happen....AFTER...the beat down! 😆

I myself found the final quarter, riveting. Baylor played some real "BullyBall" to scrap back in it, but unlike the previous few years the Damsel Ducks did Not panic, hit their free throws, and played fundamentally sound and tenacious D to seal the victory! GREAT early season win AND the first time I have felt a little confidence for the upcoming season. Let Go Ducks!

There Are letdown games for All teams. Maryland was an "average" opponent with some outstanding receivers. No run game to speak of and a game manager QB (thank God no DG type on that side of the ball). HOWever they were 4-4 (now 4-5) and Obviously came ready to play after a two week prep and heal time. Oh yeah and there is that little thing, growing by the week, of a target on your back! Sloppy, unfocused game for sure with WAY too many Penalties, but I never really felt the Ducks would be challenged for the win. With a better team, this game would have become a trap game! I don't expect any "carryover" going into Wisconsin. And hopefully by the second quarter any concerns about this game will have been forgotten. 10-0 Babe! 🦆🏈🪨's
