Disappointing end to a GREAT season. At least the Ducks were the last PAC12 team remaining... Bodes well for the B1G, as far as I'm concerned. Good job boys. Shore up the pitching (and even that had flashes of brilliance. Need more consistency annd experience.), and things can get much better.

Waz has got to make a change! Tie game after multiple walks in the 7th inning! Unbelievable! Jaxson Jordan in at pitcher for Oregon, now.

Nice coaching job, eh?

I remember feeling, off and on, that entire season, that there was a different chemistry to that team. I think the unexpected victory at USC, when Oregon had to use a then un-heralded quarterback named Tony Graziani, while Danny Oneil recovered from his hand infection, got my blood starting to simmer. The pick pretty much brought things to a boil.

I check in as much as ever, however... I have gotten more likely to select a couple sites to monitor (OBD being my primary place of residence), and tend to do less active posting than in my youthful exuberance.

Oregon's pitching this season, is so far above the level reached with last season's injury riddled corps.

That QUACKS me up!

Excellent game. PRIDE of OREGON, indeed!

WOO HOO! Ducks win, on the backs of defense and a great pitching performance!

Let's go, Ducks! End this NOW!

Walsh nailed that ball! 3-0 Oregon!

My Grandson was hanging out the window, screaming in joy when BB hit that Homer. I think he might be a Duck fan...

Dang... 1 year older than me. RIP, big fella. You may not have been a Duck, but you were true to yourself.

My father-in-law was a seaman on the maiden voyage of the USS Hancock (CV-19), near the end of WW2... The flattops, even then, were large enough to allow the men to play softball on the deck. The Enterprise 2 (CVN-65) and Eisenhower (CVN-69) were considerably larger. My FIL was one of the strongest men many of the crew had seen, and found himself barred from playing after he lost more than one ball overboard when he batted. Part of the onboard training regimen involved jumping from the flight deck, into the waters below, to prepare the crew for emergencies. https://www.navsource.org/archives/02/021988.jpg

The famous, "I didn't know" defense... “Shilo is the honest but unfortunate debtor looking to get his fresh start in life, free from the oppressive burden of his debts, including the default judgement to the Plaintiff,” Shilo Sanders’ attorney wrote in a court filing in February. SHEESH1

Disappointing after the regular season they put together. Go DUCKS!

Might have to lay this down as a $5 parlay... Might be a an incredible, history making payout! LOL (Added for clarification... wouldn't want any hardcore OBD fans to think I've completely lost my marbles!)

When an idiot gets the last laugh, it often indicates something short of savant status.

Kids need support, but t h ey also need to learn self control, self discipline, and how to fight through adversity on their own, among other things.

I will always remember Smith for one other reason... My son was part of what was then known as, TEAMWORK", a work/study group of Oregon students who assisted the football coaches and team with various jobs around the AD (my boy was under the supervision of coach Zoumboukos). He was allowed to bring me to Oregon home games as a guest. We usually entered through the tunnel after the team on game day. The first time I became aware of the strength of Akili sr's arm was one such occasion. As we reached the mouth of the tunnel, qbs were warming up, from about the 20 yard line. AS threw a pass that the intended receiver failed to catch. It went through the end zone and nailed me about 2" above my sternum. Despite the fact I was wearing multiple layers, I found out after the game I now had about a 3" diameter bruise on my chest. Never forgot that experience.

FIFY

Who were they playing, a middle school powder puff team(apologies to the many talented players I knew when i actually attended those games...)?

Buffing a brownie is a fine project for aspiring engineers...

RIP, Duckster. Your wisdom. Wit, and insight will be missed.

The Ducks have been very consistent this season, with a brief hickup or two. Time to get back to dominance!
