Pritchard and Duarte making a case for staying and playing more years before going pro!

Why not a HC job at USC...OCs come here to pare down their offensive ingenuity...

Prevent offense is the correct name of the style that MC likes. Many believed that it was the OCs that caused the problems...I "knew" before the pac-12 championship against Utah a couple of years ago that everything ran through MC. Love him as a CEO but he is too much of a micromanager...

Chip will only have to employ the hurry up 50% of the time and that will have a huge impact on our D. They will be gassed all game long...

Oregon needs to win all the remaining games. If that doesn't happen I will settle for playing all games well, competitively, and beating the Fuskies and Feavers...

I have only booed the refs also. I think booing players (from either team) may be excessive. I can see booing coaches though. I agree with Haywarduck that the pocketbook is the best way to vote, ultimately, but if the fans walked out just for one quarter or half turning Autzen into a visiting fan's dream that would also get the point across.

I don't know, I was at the Stanford game and it was a wash until the end. Like many other posters' have said the offense plays just well enough to win or lose. I too believe Chip and his staff will out coach our coaches.

Ducks give up more ground to running teams through the air...

If he could pass to himself he would. The guy is as selfish as any QB can be. There are plenty of plays for all six games I thought just be a true, "point guard", field general and this team is electric! You do you and just be the first QB to be booed by the entire student section.

He could take that job but it's a guaranteed two years only. SEC fires coaches two years after a NC because they are not as good as Alabama or Georgia. Pac12 is the only guarantee of five years or more of average coaching.

I left at halftime. I couldn't take it anymore. I was angry and frustrated. I went out for sushi instead. I actually am considering dumping my six seats and using those funds for both basketball teams, the track teams, and serious celebration while attending those games. I've been a season ticket holder for quite a long time and never once had these thoughts--even when times were lean. I have never experienced the rain of boos for the home team. There have been boos for kicking versus going for a first down or touch down. Those boos felt like they were directed at the team and the staff. The team is not to blame.

I don't believe that the coaches are actually running AB. I think he is making the RPO decision to keep the ball. There have been several plays this season where AB could have easily pitched the ball but keeps it and is stuffed. Other plays where he keeps it and scores but could have pitched the ball to the RBs and they would have scored. To me AB is trying to finish his college career with more stats. He is, in basketball terms, a ball hog. "Look at what I can do!" The team will NOT win, IMHO, with a selfish and stubborn QB compounded with a stubborn head coach. Chip was stubborn here at Oregon, would have won a NC had he not been, but he was innovative and won more than he lost.

Coach Altman will squeeze the most out of the rotation like he always does. In Dana we trust.

There is an interview with Dana at the beginning of this season where he was asked why he doesn't tell all the "news" outlets how good his teams are? His reply? He would rather let his team show how good they are then to stand on a soapbox and tell everyone. Speak softly and carry a big whoop'em stick...

Altman and staff are doing an incredible job of recruiting and using the transfer portal. If they win the players will come no matter what their rank is.

Hey now?! Please bet against the Ducks!! It give me better odds for a larger payday...

It's an amazing complex! Can't wait to see real track meets there!!

I love the Ducks being the hated ones! It makes me laugh...Give everyone else the accolades as long as the Ducks take home the trophies!

I absolutely love this! When Oregon was a 12 seed in 2019 and everyone thought there is no way that they'll get out of the first round. They ended up losing to the eventual champions but even that was a tight game. If they didn't disappear for three minutes they would have made the final four because Virgina just squeaked that game and the rest of their games out. Back then only one of the pundits, from the west, said that Oregon is a scary 12 to face in the first round. I think the "East coast" bias works in the Ducks favor! Let's Go Ducks!

All this love for "our" guy!! I remember being at a tailgate Herbert's senior year in high school. I was told by someone who lives in Eugene and watched Herbert play baseball, football, and baseball.. He told me this kid is going to be special--he said Mariota but bigger. I told him I couldn't wait to see!!

BDF, I don't think Shough regressed I just think that he lost confidence. Once that happened he started second guessing his decisions. I know the coach was always a very vocal supporter of him to the press but I wonder if Shough didn't feel the same? We'll never know. As far as the offense goes, I still believe that coach hired JM for a reason, he needs to give his input and just let JM work. The pistol is a joke 90% of the time! Let's get to an offense the looks more like Alabama and Clemson. We have the pieces on offense and defense to be an all around stout team!

Coach Altman just gets his players to play they need to play at the end of the year. This is his 11th year and no matter how many new players are on the team everyone in the conference knows that the Ducks will be a tough out. I wonder if some of the players that left early would have stayed how many NCAA final fours and championships would there have been? Payton shows what four years under Altman can get a player!

I don't see the women getting past the second round. With all the talent on the team there isn't a strong leader to push the team like Sabrina did for four years. They lack that strong personality. What do you think? Have a look at this article.

Remember 2019? They played eight games in 17 days. They had to play all four rounds of the Pac-12 tournament and won. I agree with geo!

I hope he is the best QB for TT just because of all the adversity that he had to face. I agree that he would not have started for the Ducks had he stayed.
