  1. I haven't heard anything from former players that is negative about Cristobal. I guess the closest thing would be how current players are saying football is fun again. I do believe he lost the team towards the end of the season especially after everything that went on.
  2. Mr Fishduck I have to honorably disagree with your concerns about him staying a Duck. McDuck's information about him being from the NW and not seeing anything at MCs Oregon in comparison to OU Riley then oops everything changed gives me confidence he's a Duck and will wow us along side Dickey for years to come.
  3. Yes he was "blur" but he was also tough and strong. I don't remember exactly but his YAC must have been off the charts. He is and was the goat RB for the Ducks. If he had played 4 yrs he would still hold the record for most yards gained by a Duck. He's my favorite Duck I've ever seen play and I'm a greybeard.
  4. I don't know how many times I have seen coaches do the same thing and probably more times but they didn't show it on TV. Coaches and players are human with all the intricacies of behavior. No one is perfect Those who expect perfection are not living in reality. The pressures placed on coaches and since s**t flows downhill the players has always been enormous but I believe now it's gone way overboard. That being said I support both views stated above. On the one hand it would have been better to reprimand him away from the TV lights. But on the other hand you can bet Mr Hutson will remember that play for ever because of the intensity of the moment.
  5. Wasn't there was a game back in the Joey Harrington days where he brought us a win with a pass on the the last play of the game against ASU?
  6. Up to 21 nationally. Way to go Ducks Keep Flying High.
  7. It's a rivalry because we hate them they hate us even tho we've been kicking the snot out of them this century.
  8. Just the way we like it being underducks (couldn't use under you know what turns my stomach to even think about the butt sniffers). It will make it so much sweeter when we beat everyone
  9. Our defense is stacked. We are looking good for the people we want on defense. Remember signing day isn't until Dec. We got plenty time.
  10. After losing McClendon who I was hoping would be retained I didn't think there was any other coach who could compare. I was wrong. Recruiting ✔. Now the final test is how he coaches his room. Any incite about how he coaches his room up?
  11. And now with Cota it gives us 2 WR with years of experience to help our young studs pick up the intricacies of the position to make us even more potent.
  12. Hopefully Waz has them peaking at the right time especially the pitchers.
  13. As long as we stay relatively healthy I do see us winning the PAC. Last year we peaked to soon by beating tOSU. Then the injuries hit us harder than normal. Then the rest of the season was underwhelming and at times just disappointing. That I believe left this team with a sour taste. Then you add in better players then what left with better and more inspiring coaching and you have a decidedly better outcome predicted. I believe to much is being made about the inexperience of the coaches. Bah humbug. I believe to much is being made about the new QB. He has 3 years experience in the toughest league. Our RB room is better with all types of runners. Our WR are taller and faster. Our OL will be one of the best the Ducks have ever seen. We will have a much better offensive scheme. We have one of the best defensive minds to run our stacked defense with 5* talent everywhere. We are so deep and talented with experience in every position. Our Special Teams will be measurably better. So where am I wrong in this analysis?
  14. It's all about the dinero. IMHO Just because you don't play all the teams in your league doesn't lessen the title. If you win your in. Rivalries are what makes CFB special they have to be preserved. Playing 8 league games rather than 9 means you are not pushed hard for all season long and can have a fresher team at the end. I do believe that it's been one of the main reasons why the SEC is the top league and helps them in the post season. It would help us more than the changing of who plays in the title game. The problem is the TV people won't let us do that. Deniro matters more than common sense. Oh and the B10 staying at 9 means we won't either. Sure wish we would stop letting them dictate to us like we are their baby brother rather than equals. But again dinero trumps every other thing. Our friend Jon Joesph has pointed all these things out numerous times and I agree with him we should expand our league into Texas with it's TV rich implications. Then maybe we would have more of a bargaining chip with the money matters more people.
  15. Brought in just as many. We want players that want to be here. It's the Oregon Way.
  16. Like it. Live it. Love it Go Ducks Fly High
  17. It's amazing what people can do when faced with such hardships.
  18. Icamel thanks so much for play by play calling of the baseball games for the whole season. Looked forward to it.
  19. Yahoo way to end the season and start playoffs on a good foot.
  20. A foghorn is perfect foghorns scare birds away. It would be great to blast it after any points scored and defensive takeaways. It should become our next fashion along with the 3rd quarterback "Shake" and the pushup Duck.
  21. It's never foggy in Autzen. Haha!
  22. Read this article also. Wow maybe that's why we haven't been as successful as other conferences.
  23. Welcome to the Ducks Mr Chapman. Wish you a lot of success in every aspect of your career with the Ducks.
  24. USC had him a NIL deal set up before he placed his name in the portal. Not following the rules. Not USC. Go figure.
  25. I just Google Oregon Ducks football and it brings up all the sites you listed based on something to do with the Ducks at different times based on the newness of the topic. No comment section tho.
