  1. Almost as funny as SEC fan crying about teams "buying players". SEC truly believes a championship isn't valid unless one of their teams wins it.
  2. True. Sometimes, it shouldn't happen, but I think Ref's really call "ticky- tac" fouls just to make sure the players remember they're there.
  3. So true. Paraphrasing Bill Walton & other winners, you win on the road by feeding on the noise and hate from the homecourt fans. Now, to be fair to the MKA crowds they aren't hating on the visiting teams either. It should be great that the next game is at home against Purdue. Fortunately, the games against Michigan & Michigan State are on the road.
  4. The B1G officiating has not hurt the Ducks at all so far this season. The Ohio State fans were positive that the call on Shelstad at the end of a game should have been a charge, which is to be expected from any fanbase when their team loses by a point, and then whatever the situation was with Tracey definitely moving before throwing the inbounds pass at the end of the game against Penn State. It sure seems like a player can move, as he obviously did, and no whistle.
  5. Jackson Shelstad's jumper puts Oregon ahead for good - ESPN Video WWW.ESPN.COM Jackson Shelstad knocks down a jumper with under a minute remaining to give Oregon a win over Penn State.
  6. As you can tell from the predicted scores, we thought Ohio State was going to have a much easier time with Texas than it turned out. Smith didn't play like the Heisman winner I predicted for the next two seasons. Texas was a team that didn't have much of a SoS and lost to Georgia twice. It sure looked Ohio State, after the Tennessee game and crushing Oregon in the Rose Bowl, had reached a level that Texas would only be able to look up at.
  7. It is, and I believe are a large part of what goes into a NET rating, which is very confusing. Going into today's games Arizona is 10-5, with a Quad1 record of 2-5, yet their NET ranking is 14. Maryland, who Oregon beat, is 12-4, Quad1 record of 2-3, and NET is 20, Above Oregon who, before the Penn State game, is 14-2, Quad1 6-2 and a NET of 21?
  8. Oregon's last 7 games are 4 at home, 3 on the road, and the last road game is the last game of conference play, at Washington. Turns out the Pac-12 teams play each other twice and the other teams once.
  9. Sandy Rocks, you were right! In the last 3 games Shelstad has been everything the Ducks have needed, just like Pritchard was, with a DEEP 3 pointer when needed, and just the way he and the Ducks are cold blooded at the end of games.
  10. They were when the came from behind, and with a 21 point swing, Oregon up 14, then Penn State up 7, I could understand. But they weren't against giving the Ducks credit, especially noting that Oregon is very comfortable in tight games at the end. Ducks get a B1G Road Sweep, and hand Penn State its first home loss.
  11. Great to be up at halftime for a change, should be by more than 7. The first 5 minutes of the 2nd half will go a long way in determining who wins.
  12. In terms of never getting over it, creating chills just thinking about it, 2012 Stanford & NC Auburn 2010 are leaps above any other games on the list. 2025 Rose Bowl goes into the trash heap, along with a movie, "Eye of the Beholder" that I was actually glad to have had a screeching migraine during, it was so bad. Cameron Colvin does have a select place in my memory, is he a "Once a Duck, Always a Duck"?
  13. A great sports day for Duck fans. Start with Bo and the Broncos, moves right into basketball with No.15 Oregon against Penn State, then to cap it off, Bucky Irving and the Bucs take on the Commanders.

  15. Minnesota defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman has resigned his post with the Gophers and will accept the same position at Miami, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Saturday, confirming a report.
  16. This losing streak for the Bruins is hurting the Ducks. The loss was bad enough, but now it's looking worse and is bringing the Ducks' NET down.
  17. This game could actually be worse than the last Playoff game for the Chargers, when they blew a 27-0 lead at halftime.
  18. Emulating the NBA is ridiculous. I haven't followed it in years, and attendance and ratings are down. Load management is a big part of the lack of interest, and of course the season is way too long. The All-Star game, after being 200-200 the last couple of seasons is now going to be some kind of bizarre game without teams. The Dunk competition was exciting 20 years ago, but lately no player anyone would recognize enters anymore.
  19. TD, Herbert to McConkey, the extra point is blocked and run back fo2 by Houston. 25-12.
  20. Chargers had the lead, a pair of field goals, for the first 28 minutes of the 1st half, but a 99 yard drive got a TD for the Texans, Chargers stalled, and the Texans added a field goal, Texans QB, CJ Stroud is from osu2.
  21. You can't spell NFL without Ducks. Well, you can, but there are a lot of Ducks to watch in the Playoffs this season.
  22. I'm not saying we're perfect, here at "The Forum with Decorum" but I don't remember seeing anything close to what we saw from osu2's and now Texas, after either of the Ducks losses to the Huskies in 2023. I guess we just handle presser better.
  23. For the most part, the comments in "Eleven Warriors" osu2's site after the Ducks beat the Buckeyes, wee that their coach and team were awful, but there were these: We are the only team in the big ten that doesn’t get a call at home I’m sick of it Refs make this stuff about unwatchable. Every time we go up 8 they get a call, then can't call a textbook charge at the end
