Holy Crap! My Replay Study So Far Shows...
Maybe it has something to do with protection for a "leftie" quarterback? But was nice to see our "leftie" protected as well as he was. GO Ducks!

So...How About THAT Get-Well Game?
The Oregon Running Back room was able to "release the hounds" with a much more improved offensive line play. Wave after wave of Oregon runnings backs being shoved down Beavers throats. Defense came to play And Boettcher is a Beast! He was everywhere and that rundown, across the field, was...impressive (maybe he can start a bidding war for his services btwn NFL and MLB). The team I think ALL of us expected to see at the beginning of the season. (But, Wait!!! No special teams TD's???? Slackers.) GO Oregon Ducks!

Words Alone Cannot Describe the Utter Ridiculousness of this Face Book Post
And all available to stream from Apple TV(?), or the like for a HUGE television/steaming contract to pay each school 10-15 million dollars each. Good luck winning super conference games against teams with 60-80 million TV budgets. Yeah good luck with that.

The "If Not For X, Then Y Would Have Happened" Sports Fallacy
Whhhaaatttt??!!! You mean to tell me that the team that doesn't find the means to put more points up on a scoreboard, by Whatever options are available to do so in any particular game, will eventually come out as the losers of said particular game???? I swear football fandom life is soooo complicated and unfair. Maybe We, as fans, should have our own NIL to soothe over those "unrealistic" events! Thank the Football Gods that OBD figured this out before last week's game, whew. GO Quackers!

On Saturday: What Do YOU Want to See From Oregon?
I want to see proper communication, execution, cohesiveness, focus, and most important of all....FIRE🔥 behind it all. Simple right??🙄 Need to start playing "championship" type football or it could end up being a very long, "cristobal-ish" type season. Still successful but Not Elite. Let's Go Ducks...Bury the Beavers! 😁

UO vs BSU: Three Sips From the Half Full Glass
I believe this may be Right On! As much as I tend to discount preeseason pollings and prognostications it should be noted that Boise State was the preseason Favorite to be the G5 representative (and rightly so with that "Heisman caliper bowling ball" of a running back), with their ONLY regular season loss being to Oregon. Then having the first round playoff Boise St. visiting Autzen against a "#5 seed", Oregon. Might, could, still happen and won't that be a fun buildup after what we just saw on Saturday. Boise State, not having Ever lost to an Oregon football team, came into Autzen looking to make a statement and were Not intimidated at all. They gave us a Game! But...we gave one right back to a Very good football team. This WAS NOT Idaho. Obviously this football team still has a long way to go until they can be, correctly, viewed as a Playoff team. But, resilient games such as was just played, getting scoring from unexpected sources (TWO, kick returns for TD's.....Ok maybe One and a half!), and an obvious improvement in several areas from week one; I can only hope this does become a Positive over the course of the season. Anyway. The next two games, Oregon State and UCLA will go a long way in determining the direction and potential of this team. After that there will be no "wiggle room" in playing expectedly as a cohesive and dangerous team. Yes. Only time, and games played, will tell. GO DUCKS FOOTBALL!!!! 🦆

Idaho Issues: We Can’t Duck the Blocking Analysis…
Ok. Offensive line seemed a step behind and was just "manhandled" by a defense averaging twenty pounds lighter. I just passed it off as underestimating Idaho as an opponent and not bringing our "A" game. But, this analysis showed a lot more concerns. Hopefully, it is simply an offensive line that is still coming together as a unit, learning to work and protect a left handed QB, but we need to see a lot more cohesiveness and a lot less "deer in the headlights" performance against Boise St. If the OLine doesn't "flow" against a Boise St. team that just gave up 40+, then there will be, should be, some major concerns going into the "new" civil war; and talks of a B1G championship in Oregon's first season as a member will have been Greatly Overstated! Hard to win football games without solid offensive line play, let alone play championship football. I am confident that Oregons OLine WILL become a solid playing unit. But it has to happen NOW, Here at home, before we start into B1G play. Currently I am confident and optimistic that it will happen. Please Oregon O, make me justified in my optimism. GO Oregon Ducks!! 🦆

I Only Have One Word for This Game...
Poison! Seems to me some were drinkin in the "hype", did not bring their "A" game 'cause....Idaho. BIG Hats off to Vandals who were half step faster and finished with...intent. Caught the Ducks sleeping on em at home. Need "reader leaders" on "D" to recognize and call out adjustments for unconventional plays. The "Dr's Visit" will be quite interesting this week and hopefully has the antidote to the poison. In November NO ONE will remember, talk about, or even care how this game went down if OBD is in the driver's seat for the B1G championship. Game next week with BoiseSt coming in, just got a whole lot more interesting. Especially with their 3-0 record against us and a "bowling ball" of a running back who went for a buck-fifty and several TD'S yesterday. Heal Quickly Ducksters!!

Great Question: Who Would YOU Sit Next To?
3C! Definitely. Get to listen/participate in two wildly different approaches to "winning" football and player relationships. Plus get to tap the "righteous" dude sitting in 4C, to see which one is actually the "savior" of their respective programs! 🤪😁😎 GO Ducks!

Comcast/Xfinity Blacking Out West Coast B10 Games Due to Carrier Dispute
THIS, is all 🐂💩! Wasn't "consolidating" conferences, thus TV contracts, suppose to have streamlined the ability to stream/broadcast college football in order to institute NFL-LITE??!! OH YEEEEAH!!! The consumer is ALWAYS at the Bottom of the "feeding frenzy" and we tend to forget about the multiple layers of "profit sharing" that always goes on behind the scenes between the consumer and the "delivery" of the final product! I guess "capitalist" are going to "capitalize" when the money, odds, and public sentiment (Outrage!) is on their side. (And we wonder why there is such a thing as a Billionaire!) Now don't even get me started on the hoops and hurdles and outright Lies I had to deal with SPECTRUM'S customer service to ensure they were delivering the B1G10 channel that was listed, but not broadcasting. (Thankfully as of August first it became available). Here's hoping Comcast/Infinity gets their "contracts" in order....much sooner than later. Good Luck subscriber's! Until then...Go Ducks!

Oregon Unlikely to Play Alabama in a Home & Home Series Anytime Soon, According to Native Eugenian Greg Byrne
Yup! The realignment shift has automatically set each season up with meetings between several top 25 teams throughout the season, especially in the Big 2 conferences. With the expanded playoffs and number of games played to reach and win the championship game, there's no incentive to schedule teams that you will most likely see in the playoffs (to be expanded to 16 teams in the 2027 championship season). Before it was imperative to schedule a "marquee" game each season to bolster SOS in order to be considered as a "playoff" team. "Marquee" games now fall to simply scheduling each seasons conference slate. OBD should focus on scheduling "West Coast" teams during the non conference games, especially with teams that were part of the conference formally know as the PAC. I would be fine with no longer scheduling FCS opponents from here on out. Regardless, we as Duck fans are in for a run of highly competitive and entertaining football in the new "NFL-lite. (And YES! SEC Needs to go to a NINE game conference schedule AND until they do they need to be "punished" by the selection committee by lower seeds and further travel requirements during the playoffs, until they do so!.....yeah right!) GO Ducks!
