IIRC correctly, Nebraska (Pre-schollie limit) had something like 3 times the players suited up for the road game in Omaha that Oregon did. There were 3rd stringrs on Nebraska's squad who would have been potential starters for multiple PAC8 teams of the day. One write up by the R-G mentioned the huge disparity in facilities... The entire Duck football complex of the day could have fit in Nebraska's weight room, IIRC.

Ducks up 3-1 in the 7th for this final game of the series.

The refs worked hard to keep UCLA closer than they should have been. Ducks D and execution in the second half, PRICELESS!

I think the Duck v Beav game could be the "HoozyerDaddy Bowl", or something inoffensive like "Thump Yer Budder Cup", most years.

Ouch! So, you're saying, there's No chance? I'll admit, 'Analytics For Dummies' would suggest so!

If Brown could absorb half the skill differential between him and Adams, it would be a significant upgrade!

"Oh, well... They weren't up to the Pastel Purple Puppies' exacting standards, anyway. You know, just not an "OKG" sorta fella! Oops! Maybe that's a little to retro?

Sounds like Charles may need to adopt Jim Rome's theme song, "Up All Night"!

So far, MC is the only thing that Wonkee Willie seems to have gotten right... If he can learn to enable his assistants and allow them to do their jobs to the best of their ability, while maintaining a stronger hold on things like clock management, I believe the Ducks will be just fine.

Ducks win second game vs the Bulldogs, 2-1. Raegan gets the win (1.08 era), Diaz with the save. Ducks improve to 7-0 for the season!

10-2 VICTORY! Yanez with her first complete game (12k) of the season, and hitting lead by the freshman!

What can I say, but please, everyone, encourage your Duck friends to check this place out! Nothing makes a developer happier than to see positive growth for his vision! Thank you, Charles!

Impressive... How in the world did UW let these slip through their fingers?

"Punky Wood", at that... What us loggers kids (And some farm/ranch kids) liked to refer to as 'culls'.

Charles would likely do a far superior job hiring subordinates to whom he could delegate responsibilities such as those! Although he might prefer some venue such as Sisters, Oregon, to Las Vegas! I'm on board!

And the Ducks finish the night with a 5-3 victory over the Lopes.

Usually good for a program to 'grease the skids', so to speak. Of course, handle the grease wrong, and it might speed up the skid...

Squintz Rides Again!

The only time I ever rooted for UW was when Jake Locker was leading a late comeback attempt against BYU, and got a delay of game penalty for throwing the ball in the air in his excitement... Typical PAC12 style ref work, but I hate to see something like that decide the biggest game of a kid's life. Jake didn't get many of those opportunities while suffering the consequences of poor life choices...

Grandma used to wash my mouth out with soap, when I told those sort of 'stories'!

Considering Charles has seen me lurking in the past, I was quite relieved he replied positively to my email!

Gotta admit, VA, with that kind of O-line, would have had the opportunity to beat ANYBODY.

I could seriously imagine OC's whining about how unfair it would be for one team to have Sewell, KT, HT, Flowe, and Brown on one roster...

Oregon, FSU, TCU, and Nebraska? I'd like our chances!
