How Many Losses Can the Ducks Afford?
criticalduck replied to CalBear95's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Every team is going to be tough for OBD because the bullseye was pulled from OSU and placed on them! No GAME is easy. -
Charles, I said the same thing about MC. We had to trust his process until he proved to us it, he, was wrong. I was very happy when MC went to Miami and their team did the same things wrong as the Ducks when he was coach. I'm not saying that the coach is always right because no one is. All the coaches of Oregon’s past have made many, many mistakes. DL will continue to make mistakes but has he learned from them? I think he has learned from some but not all. Has he made OBD good bordering on great! He is one of the few coaches that have hired better replacements for assistants than the ones he had previously, IMO. We are all fans, or haters, and we all have reactions to plays and bad calls. It's just ludicrous to read that people are calling for someone to be benched or fired with a small sample size of games. I trust DL in his process and his growth. Until he gives concrete proof that his judgements are flawed I will continue to trust him--even with the field goals and two point conversion tries. I was/am in the minority, about BN as OBD QB, because I watched him, as a freshman, beat OBD in Dallas but all the mistakes he made then he was still making four years later. He's a great kid and will likely have a decent career in the NFL but he's still making those 18 y/o mistakes as a pro.

There were people online saying that Treshon should be kicked off the team, that's excessive punishment. Are these the same people that want DG benched because he doesn't see the whole field or can't throw a deep ball? A different OC because Stein doesn't call good plays? A different running backs coach because Samples isn't as good as the previous one? One thing those experts NEED to know: In Lanning WE trust! Go DUCKS!

A Buckeye Declaration That Will NOT Age Well...
criticalduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
It's a blackout game. If it is 75% as loud as Fright Night 2009? They won't be able to hear any calls on offense. Chip remembers Fright Night! -

ESPN Computer Picks Ohio State to Beat Oregon
criticalduck replied to 30Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Yes, being the underdog is a good thing. We can't really fly under the radar ranked 3rd but I like everyone underestimating Dan, his staff, and the team! -
Disney must be paying the refs to get one ACC team in the playoffs because Miami should have two losses! They have paid the ACC for TV rights and can't have none of the ACC make the playoffs. There were too many game altering calls/non-calls to not have a conspiracy! Miami will be crushed by any team they play from the SEC/B1G.

Thanks HDuck! I didn't have problems with the app but downloaded the tickets to my Google wallet.

Are Oregon Transfers Forever Ducks?
criticalduck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Travis Dye is a tough one because he wanted to stay but there were many "fans" that grumbled and wanted him to step aside so that other RBs could have a chance. He took an offer from the spoiled children. I don't fault him. Some of the players that went to UkLA, per some talk, were ones that were given "suggestions" to leave when Mari left and Lanning came in. But rumors are just that. -
Based on the team "on paper" but that's why the games are played. I agree "coach" Prime was hype for Colorado but they had some athletes "on paper" that should have competed with every team...unfortunately for the Buffs their coach is "good" at best and mediocre as a norm. Lanning is just better at coaching, recruiting, and motivating than "coach" Prime or most college coaches. If Lanning had the athletes that flocked to "coach" Prime I think he would have done more with them. Keep OBD under the radar and keep winning (ugly or not). We'll see who crosses the finish line! Go Ducks.

I personally like that OBD are under the radar. Every team thinks they have a chance to win... Even the C/D team that showed up for week 1, 2, and 5 still beat those teams A efforts. Week 3 the B- team showed up to beat the Beavis but not before allowing them to think they had a chance--thanks to the stellar referees! In Lanning I trust. Please everyone, look past The Ducks because your next game will be much harder than The Ducks... I also think we "fans" are drinking too much of the "hype" Kool-aid like all the people did with Colorado last season. GO DUCKS!

Elite Recruiting Mountain Too High for Ducks’ Lanning?
criticalduck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The only thing I can give Slick and Mari-NO is they started the recruiting boon for OBD. With DL there is not only recruiting but coaching! The BRAND has been around. I remember the first commercial with the Duck as part of college football mascots and was shocked! Little Oregon has made the splash as a recognized mascot! DL will get OBD where we all want them to be. I would not be surprised if it is this football season..."sneaking" under the radar. -
Jump Around is used by the Rats of Arizona. I can't stand the song since the Rats play it after anything positive.

Where Do You Go to Watch Duck Games in Portland?
criticalduck replied to Jolson's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Birdie Time is the PDX Ducks Alumni watch bar for the east side of the metro area. The caveat: the owner is a Fusky and during the rivalry game half the place is overrun Fuskies. -
UCLA: where coaches go to get fired.

I was just going for a name that takes the PAC designate from their "league." I'm tired of their crap and don't want or need to waste anymore energy on them. Their schools, administrations, and fans are ridiculous. First, complaining that OBD and Fuskies "left" them behind in a deal to move forward. Second, scheming and "winning" in court (in the dust bowl of WA) the money that nearly every school earned. Finally, saying that the garbage they pulled on the MWC is completely above board when compared to what transpired in the B1G. Again, they're theives and with the way they have managed their schools,while in the PAC, they'll have to drop much of their athletic departments. That will be when they gather in the "town square" with their pitchforks to storm toward the catsles of the evil empire of Eugene and Seattle. Good riddance!
