The fans of osu and wsu believe the "tradition should have lead UW and UO to "bring them along" not the fact that they didn't invest in the sport that makes all of the other sports go! They are the privileged children that you see on the airwaves all the time because the consequences are "mom and dad" will fix it! Great you have championships in baseball and gymnastics but did it make you enough money for you to continue to operate the next year? No? "Mom" UO and "Dad" Pac12 are supposed to help you get out of jail free...WRONG!! R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y

SEC/NCAA collusion...the SEC just refuses to accept NCAA punishment while other leagues accept them. -
From a Former Midwesterner: The Fun B1G Road Games

The only stadiums I didn't visit for the Pac12 were Colorado and Utah. If we play them OOC I will go because it'll be early in the season. -

Ducks Flying High: Updated Top 25 for 2024
criticalduck replied to criticalduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Remember when OBD hit Penix and he was grabbing his ribs in the 4th?! Penix played like a hero to win that game. His next game against ASU? No show with those ribs OBD hit. Harbaugh saw that you only need get a couple of sacks and Penix would be out of it! Ribs, apparently, take a little longer to "heal." OBD didn't take him down in the CG and I was SO rooting for it!! It was their year--I can't say I have had to admit that too many times since the early 2000s... -

Where the Ducks Ranked Among Most-Watched Football Teams in 2023
criticalduck replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
In the top 10 of most watched programs! Yet with two &%$#@! commisioners OBD had many after dark games! I always said the teams that generate the conference money should always play prime time games!! Hopefully the B1G will recognize this and put OBD in prime slots!! -
Day is following a championship coach, albeit one with a ton of skeletons, so he gets a pass. Until he loses to OBD and Michigan in the same season...

Do they really have Ward tied for 10th?? In MC's offensive non-offense? He'll be lucky to have 1000 yards. -
Which Former Pac-12 Teams Do You Want To Fail or Succeed?
criticalduck replied to Ktmguy2018's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I want Beavis, Fuskies, and Buttflows to FLAIL and FAIL. I would like to see The Devils, Trees, Bears, and Utes do well. OBD crowned the NC for the first 12 team playoff! That would be the best 2024 season!! -
‘If You’re Scared Your Coach is Leaving…’
criticalduck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
DL has does nothing but hire great assistants. If WS gets a HC job awesome for him! DL will just replace him with another outstanding assistant that will be a great recruiter. In Lanning I trust. -
I that he was making half of what DL is making even after beating PBD 3x!! Maybe Phil shouldn't have brought the Fuskies along in the negotiations to become a B1G member? The way they spend their football money reminds me of a certain orange rodent!! Would have been better to bring Standford along as the complement to OBD!! In closing: that's another PUNCH to the Fuskies!!
-
In Laniing I trust!
-
In DL I trust. If there is any coach who would feel that he could take over Bama post Saban and win--it would be DL!! The man has the fire, drive, and belief that he can do it! If he goes, OBD lose plenty but the ship won't sink. Let's GO Ducks!!

Should the Traitorus/Realistic 10 Decline NCAA Invites?
criticalduck replied to Steven A's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
If that would only work... On the brighter side Beavis will play as an independent for baseball under the Pac12 banner...it's the most important collegiate sport... -
Putting Lanning’s Second Year into Perspective
criticalduck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
In Lanning I trust. As a first time head coach making mistakes is a given. Deboer is also a good coach and has out coached DL but he has been a head coach for a while. Lanning has showed he can hire and recruit. He has given us moments of bliss and pain but he is continuing to learn! Cristoballess only hired puppets and gave them no say in plays called. We as fans figured out his M/O and were quite happy Miami paid to take him off our hands! The future is very bright in the B1G for OBD! No more late games. No more incompetent commissioners. No more refs that make bad calls and compound them with bad makeup calls. I feel for the student athletes for the travel but what doesn't break them will make them stronger! I will enjoy seeing some of this community as I travel to away games!! Go Ducks! -

Is Bo Nix Oregon’s Best Football Player Ever?
criticalduck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I will also interject that we need to verify total minutes played. Several games that MM played he was pulled after the first series in the 3rd. Bo is great but I will also give the nod to MM. My favorite player is Jeremiah Masoli--he was fun to watch! -
Lanning Will Need to be B1G in Year 3
criticalduck replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
We already know that DL has a top 10 recruiting class. Replacing talent has happened and will likely continue. His next task is to beat the Fuskies. Out recruiting hasn't equated to out coaching yet. On a side note: the four new B1G teams are 4-0 in bowl games! Like someone else said, at least two teams from the pac are going to be in the teir 1 group of the B1G next season and all for will be in the top half of the B1G! -
Rose Bowl Thread: Alabama vs. Michigan
criticalduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I will always root AGAINST the SEC and the Mickey Mouse network! Are they dominant? Yes. Do they play anyone outside their conference that may potentially beat them in a home-n-home series? Hardly ever. Why? To keep up the mystique. The one rule should be the top conferences should play other top conferences in the pre-season if they are to be considered for the playoffs. This includes OBD. Scheduling lower teir teams should be a knock against a team. The caveat is there are plenty of crap teams in the top conferences!
