[Mari(0) - A Record that Will Never Be Broken?]

Well, will Mario make Cam Ward look mediocre as he seems to do with all the talent he recruits?

[Dana's Team: No. 1 for Another Week...]

I live in Boulder.  I have been to a few Duck-Buffs basketball games.  The Ducks usually play HORRIBLY here.  I can't figure it out why.  This will be a big test for them.

[Two-Year Anniversary: Beyond Thankful for Lanning. Imagine if it was Wilcox?!]

Wow am I relieved that Justin Wilcox turned the job down!  We'd be stuck in recruiting mediocrity.  Not what is needed if Oregon is to stay on the national scene.

[Transfer Portal Tracker: Updated list of Players to Leave Oregon Ducks via 2024 Portal]

Sorry but I'm confused.  I can't seem to tell from rosters who has used up their eligibility.   There seem to be seniors who could return as they have another year, yet there are seniors who are finished.  Does a list exist that shows those seniors who have exhausted their eligibility opposed to those who could return for another year?

 

Thanks.

[Heartbreak for the Ducks in Vegas]

It was hard to watch the game.  The players, for whatever reason, weren't ready to play, at the start at least.  Also, Lanning, Lupoi and Stein were out coached AGAIN by Washington. What happened to the offensive line and defensive line, they were pushed around the whole game?  Washington wanted the game more than the Ducks.

Where is Alex Forsyth?  What did I miss?

[I am Surprised at the Wolfing and Showboating...Are You?]

I don't like it either.  I think it reflects a lack of discipline in the program.  Let your play and the scoreboard do the talking.

This was not allowed at Georgia, and I'm surprised and quite disappointed at what I see.  Now an argument can be made that today's athlete is different, and you have to give a little, especially with the portal always available.

 

The excessive celebrations with a sack, or wolfing at pass defense or trash-talking by receivers is disgusting to me.

 

Lanning is new at this and wants to be liked by the players...

 

But I don't like it.  How about you?

 

 

[Oregon/Georgia GameDay Thread!]

For the Oregon defense it is as Yogi Berra said "Déjà vu all over again". Can't cover the the receivers, poor tackling.  Can't stop 3rd and long. 

 

Bo Nix is as advertised, too many poor decisions.

Thank you Charles.

[Informed Prediction Time: Chip Kelly Might be the Next Guy]

Hard to see how Chip could have the same level of success as he had in his first rodeo in Eugene.  However, he is a smart (also a person who doesn't suffer fools) guy who can adjust to the changes in the game.  But the recruiting issue and his attitude towards boosters should be a red flag.

 

Chip would need:

1. Assistants who are top notch recruiters.

2. Attitude adjustment towards boosters.

3. Top notch DC.  We don't need any more Brady Hokes or Don Pellums, though he has been a good LB coach.

 

 

 

[10 Takes on “The Assault in Salt Lake”]

Well, I remain skeptical of Mario Cristobal's coaching.  Without a doubt he is a great recruiter.  BUT why weren't the Ducks ready to play the Utes?  That's the coaches' job.  Why aren't all these highly regarded recruits playing up to their potential?  Again, that's coaching.  Are we becoming the Texas of the Northwest?  Great talent, but not the corresponding performances?

Has Moorhead been given the “keys” to the offense or is Cristobal still holding them?

2021 should tell us much more in regards to the direction of Oregon football under MC.
