The faithless USC faithful have genuflected at their own foil wrapped altar for as long as I can recall. The complaints of toejam failures have a Homer-istic epic tragedy quality. "The Football Gods are against us!"

At least there's little doubt Oregon picked up a recruit or two (Novosad/Brock) that wants to be here, and hopefully, wants to work for that privilege.

Better yet, Oregon takes advantage and qualifies for the CFP... Remind me again, how many invites to the CFP or the BCS has USsssuc received? Win something important, then talk to the hand!

It would be poetic justice if the toejamz stubbed on every perceived obstacle thrust in their path to the exit portal...

Troy-lets are wide open, spewing nasty on the way out the door... Can't wait to watch the crying game in the B1G!

It's not a bad thing to have a serviceable QB as a snapper for PAT/short fg situations, ie, Nate Costa types...

Reading their online chatter, that is EXACTLY what GameyCrock fans were looking for... The majority of Duck fans will be happy with the numbers Burch has already showcased, or, with the right coaching, maybe even better.

The machinations, posturings of commissioners, coaches, sycophants, "student" athletes, and all the other trappings of the sport we love will be far more intriguing than watching the national news any day of the week! Warren and Sankey may be two of the greatest Showmen of the 21st Century. Hope this isn't tripping over the rules, Charles. If so, I sincerely apologize. In the meantime, "How about them Ducks?" I don't think I've watched the recruiting cycle unfold with this much anticipation for the future of this program in years! If Lanning and his master craftsman can produce the work of art many of us anticipate, especially on D, Oregon may loom as large on the NCAA map, as OBD live in the hearts of Duck fans everywhere!

Who's to say what time of year it will be? It could happen!

It doesn't necessarily apply to student athletes, but when my daughter was pursuing post graduate studies, she was encouraged by the University of Oregon to seriously consider other schools for that education, despite high deans list performance on her part.

DL just keeps on building

How in the heck did the frog hop into the end zone?

That had to leave a mark...

Bennett hits the bench with 12 minutes left, and the playbook seems to be wide open... Does anyone believe Oregon would have had a much better opportunity vs Georgia with the second string QB? Sheesh!

45-7.... ? Phew! No recognizable sign of Georgia taking a boot off TCU's collective neck, yet!

The sad part is, Georgia may not believe the mercy rul applies in the natty!

GA 42-TCU 35 Georgia has a far more dependable D than TCU's last opponent, IMO.

"Curiouser and curiouser... "

Honestly. I can no longer afford season tickets or playoff chasing. Prior to the death of my son, I was far more likely to travel with him to a bowl site, simply because that was our main form of guy time, other than him being one of my two main fishing buddies. My daughter and wife used to attend with me as well, but both of them have mobility issues that limit the number of games in a stadium like Autzen or an arena like Matt they can enjoy attending to a couple a year. Good thing My grandson likes the Ducks!

Troy DYE, Michael Clay, Kiko Alonso, one player of that level and heart could have made a huge difference this season.

During Chip Kelly's tenure, the Ducks rarely utilized their full allotment of OV's, and it actually bit OBD in the downy nether regions when the NCAA dropped recruiting sanctions on Oregon over Willie Lyars... er Lyles. Instead of losing a couple visits, from the existing max available, the NCAA took a couple of the average number used under Chip, essentially multiplying the impact of the sanctions.

Dang... Hope it's just a temporary trip to the locker room for Rising.

Wait, WHAT??? No NFL offers for 1-4 Riley?

USC already left a permanent stain on the PAC... The only thing I'll miss about having them in the Conference of Champions is the occasional opportunity to show them why so-called peons usually win revolutions! Hope they enjoy the view of that hillside mansion their 1-4 Bowl coach "earned" on the golf course! Hope the duffers rattle Riley's windows early, every morning. Let the excuses begin! Maybe Jameis Winston can ghost write a comment for 'em!

In the interest of equity, can we take an extra helping of pride in the loyal PAC member's performance this bowl season? Nice send-off for the Dessert-ers!
