DING, DING, DING! I'll take door #2, Monte!

Spare the rod, spoil the child? Part of the reason some peeps complain is because in today's permissive, er, inclusive, world, it's considered rude to expect somebody to follow the rules, or enforce them. Odd, but it works, doesn't it? Good work, people!

I'm thinking if Smart were available, many Tennessee fans would be salivating...

I see what you did there, Jon. Remember, Fortuna was a deadly combination, a woman and a goddess, subject to an unknowable (nee, capricious) turn of a whim. Much like the turn of a knife, luck cuts both ways, hence, Orebon's two humiliating, indeed, frustrating. Losses to the fuzzkies, followed by U Duh's I'll fated meeting with MeatChicken...

Charles, I have heard or seen you called a lot of negative things over the years, on multiple forums... Funny thing is, THIS is the place I chose to call home, and most of the other sites, strangely enough, no longer exist. Keep up the good fight! Most of us will be here to support the cause!

I think the ex-PAC-triots do include 2 of the "Whiniest" fan bases...

Call.The.WAaaammbulance! My Dad was a big fella, 6'3"/260 when he played for OAC (Oregon State), in the early 1940's. If we whined like that as kids, he'd hold out his rather large right hand, and quietly say, "Cry my hand full!" I think he'd say the same to some of these toejamz.

"just like USC?", eh? Seems to me, the Ducks are getting paid half the money, not to SUC!

Leaky Trojans? WhoDaThunkIt?

My step-father was a starting defensive lineman on that beavitch team, right up til Pearl Harbor... That changed everything!

The one time I was semi confident the Ducks would go undefeated in the regular season, my son lived in Las Vegas... I dropped $20 on it at the new sports book near his home, and left the ticket with him. Ducks came through, and he got a month worth of rent money out of it.

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
