  1. UW probably won't be Cal because I feel like Cal, its coaches and fans are fine the way it is. Cal doesn't have a "tradition" of greatness to rest on, nor does it think it's football power now. as Washington does. Compared to the atmosphere of the Oregon program, Cal football is a club sport. Washington still acts like it can contend for championships, compete with Oregon and USC, I don't think many at EWW Dub consider Utah a threat, so apathy hasn't set it, yet. But DeBoer will become TheBore if he doesn't win.
  2. It's all we got for now,
  3. Definitely a double feature, Pac-12-SEC battles. I don't loathe Florida like some other teams, I mainly hate the.Gators for 2006-07 when Tajuan Porter's 3's kept clanking off the rim...pain!!!
  4. Absolute agreement! Being at Autzen for a game was a huge part of KT picking the Ducks. Meanwhile at Washington, I hear paddle boating outside Husky Stadium is an absolute blast.
  5. I've reached a level of loathing toward, "THE" than can be raised no longer. It just goes on boiling. The victory at the 'shoe, combined with the win by the Tall Firs in 1939 over Ohio State are cherished occasions. It would be great if the Ducks could do the THE what they have done to the Eww bunch, but the THE actually have good, if not great teams, so it will take a while, but as Khan told Captain Kirk,
  6. I have great confidence in Coach Graves, ever since I heard him tell an interviewer once what he attributes his coaching success too, and he pointed to the court where Sabrina, Ruthy and Satou were playing, "Them". The 2019 Lady Ducks basketball team was in my mind the greatest Ducks team of all time. The loss of 3 of the players in the 1st round of the draft speaks to that. Sabrina was Magic Johnson., not as tall, but could do everything, and played with the mindset of scoring when needed. Ruthy, 33 sots in a row without a miss, amazing at the basket, and Satou, a gazelle on the court, could shoot a 3, and it was amazing that when it looked like there was no room at all, Sabrina would find her at the basket for a layup. There's a reason the other teams hated the Ladies, and still do a little. They're not on top now, but the players assembled for next season look like they're ready to restore order
  7. Washington should start finding the end zone again and make a quick return to competency.
  8. I want to thank the Huskies and their fans for doing so much to entertain us for quite a while now. Aside from Coach 17 bathrooms & Cowherd, the only team to generate Buzz in the Pac-12 is Oregon. Washington Boards can't go 3 posts without bringing Oregon up. For a bit of diversity, every once in a while, somebody will post that Oregon is not everything that is wrong with the world, but that's basically just chumming for more vitriol towards the green and yellow.
  9. Great get. It's more fun when the W hat is left sitting on the table, but that's a nice list of schools Oregon beat out. Hard hitting safeties are vital to a dominant defense.
  10. You know there is a lot of highly rated football talent ooozing out of Washington high schools, fortunately they have enough prowess to get out of there!
  11. Johnny Rodgers, Greg Pruitt, back in the 70's we can remember when Oregon went to Neb. and OK, and got slaughtered, '74 at Nebraska, 61-7, '75 at Oklahoma, 62-7 Not so much in these games, but those teams were fun to watch!
  12. I realized afterwards that this was a legacy of Campbell coached RB's, which would explain li'l Bro's pic not being included. But I don't know if I'll be okay with including him a year from now, for me "Once a Duck is NOT always a Duck"
  13. Yes, having the names on the bottom helped, and the best part is that Troy Dye's little bro isn't in it.
  14. I'll take a Moral victory, "good loss" against Georgia and be able to watch the rest of the games that day. I don't know if knowing that the players are having fun, and I'm having fun watching them is enough. That's what parents say when they watch their kids play, and to a point, where Beaver Nation is. It's not where the Ducks are. Chip's teams were fun to watch, and they won. I wouldn't remember the Kelly era as fondly if they played the same exciting style but were 24-29 instead of 46-7. That isn't the Win the Natty or bust feeling that has taken over college football, but I put a premium on winning, winning ugly can be really fun. Now, unless you're Alabama it's not realistic to expect to win it all. If you're going to even entertain the thought your team has to play top level football every week, it won't always be pretty, but it must be relentless. No fooling around.
  15. “I’ve had conversations with several of the FBS commissioners," he said. This alone is enough to be very thankful that the Pac-12 has a new Commissioner.
  16. It could be a uniforms issue; Proctor might be worried about never knowing what he was going to wear at Oregon. But at Iowa he just has to remember the Steelers. Steelers: Iowa:
  17. Shhhhhh! Top secret plans of just how eye-popping Iowa is going to be:
  18. Sorry Jim, but that's pretty sad, kind of like if Washington hangs up banners with the scores of their wins over Oregon the last 17 years.
  19. Sabrina, Sabrina!
  20. I understand your concern, but I will take the QB that will make the %$%^&% throw over the cautious checkdown one every day.
  21. I will never be convinced that had Dixon not gone down the Ducks have the Heisman winner and the Natty in 2007. Take it to the outside Kenjon, they beat Auburn, don't have to worry about whether Dyer was down or not. What if Stanford and Nelson don't have dropsies in the first half, Oregon takes the lead and Cardale Jones is just a 3rd string QB, and Elliott doesn't run over the Ducks in the 2nd half. The Ducks have had lots of chances to win the championship. After the fact it comes out that NO team has won the championship with recruiting like Oregon has had, and still doesn't to match the Alabama's and Georgia's. But they were thisclose This year of course the odds are against Oregon winning it all. So what?
  22. I agree with some of these, but I still pick Oregon to beat BYU, and by the end of the season I like the Ducks over the Utes at home...and I don't agree that Fresno State is going to beat USC, UCLA looks about right, and so is the call on EWW Dub. Skopildamus: My preseason predictions for the final Pac-12 standings 247SPORTS.COM My colleague Jared Mack posted his Pac-12 season predictions a day ago. Here are mine.

  23. I guess we'll find out what, "most definitely" means.
