Would LOVE to see the new staff's approach in practice and the training room result in a HEALTHIER football season, for all OBDs!

DOH! My wife glanced at the screen as she walked by and asked, "What's a porn pom?" Yikes!

I loved watching Devon play with fire, but DAT in pads was a level we may never see repeated (Hope I'm wrong!). The memory of DAT making a defender's heads spin trying to track him on the way to the end zone is something I will be seeing in my mind for a long time!

The hard part right now is that with both Belloti and Chip, we had seen them be an integral part of the success machine at Oregon, so there wasn't as much 'anxiety' over what to expect, especially given the limited turnover in the staff at those critical junctions. Heck, Belloti was a stroll down the hallway if Chip had wanted to pick his brains. With Lanning, it really is a whole, new, ball game.

Is that a new slogan? "You did the Work, NOW Let's Have Some Fun!"

McCallan, Rip Van Winkle, or something more down to earth, like Glenlivet or Glenfidditch?

Don't miss the old style pads, but these have a certain cache, not the least of which is that many of the teams that sported the iconic Duck/Packers look had stiff defenses, even while lacking the ability to score on a regular enough basis to win consistently. I also liked the diamond plated in Green/yellow (PLEASE, no GRELLOW !!!), and wings has been a good variant.

Remember when a 19 win season would have thrilled nearly any Duck fan? Altman's tenure has spoiled all of us, to a certain degree. Heck, thanks to the limited entries available to the Madness, Hater's Kamakaze Kids couldn't even sniff an invitation, and ended up in the NIT 3 years running. Now, many Duck fans consider it an epic failure! "My, How the Worm Has Turned!"

I once got a new job, while my young wife was employed at the US Bank branch on the Oregon Campus. It was rush week, so there were TONS of new enrollees in making deposits, opening new accounts, and other fun stuff. I walked in and waited until I could get face to face with her to announce the news. Without considering the potential consequences, I proudly announced the job title... Pretty much everyone around me started squealing and backing away! When you think about it, "I'm a HOLD-UP MAN", probably wasn't the best choice of words! When this pandemic first began, my bank insisted that as we entered the building, customers needed to stop, drop the mask, and face the camera, then replace the face covering before proceeding. Let's just say the words, "Boone's Farm" will not have anything to do with my beverage of choice this evening!

Take em all... Green is Beautiful. Time to turn the Pack GREEN with the Duck bug, again!

Jayden Wayne, because I love the keen ofDawgs crying in the wilderness of despair..

Checking his 247 page it shows junior as 5'9"/170, in class of '23... Methinks dad was just a bit more, er, robust. 😜

Yikes!

Prayers for a speedy recovery, and better health moving forward.

How simple do the rules need to be? I was in charge of training a a group of men to operate large, precision equipment for grinding steel (We manufactured saws, in this case, band saws up to 60' long, and 16" wide.). A huge part of that is SAFETY PROCEDURES... duh. Some of those involve proper use of the proper tools, and good maintenance practices... Again, duh. You would probably be shocked how many potentially crippling injuries I witnessed over a 20+ year career that involved little things like not replacing a screw with a worn Allen head, or wearing safety glasses around the grinding wheel... Or even reporting what should have been a minor bit of grit in an eye (we had trained first aid staff, as well as an eye wash station in the immediate area). In that particular case, the guy was in a hurry to leave for Thanksgiving weekend, and returned to work, the following Monday with both eyes swollen shut with infection, and argued when I insisted he go to the ER. The doctor told me it was bad enough the employee would have lost vision in both eyes, permanently, in a very brief time. To top it off, when the injured party filled out his incident report, and wassubsequently interviewed by OSHA, his explanation was Thai failed to properly train him, and he didn't notice the multiple warning signs in the area. STICK TO YOUR GUNS, Charles!

U Duh is a crew/rowing school... They tried Curling, but the ice was so thin, they kept losing their rocks. The shells are equipped with low drag coefficient sonar (Most likely snagged during a breakin at the OSU engineering complex) which allows the search for the lost equipment to continue to this day.

My step dad played for the beavith... (starter on d line. Quit the team a couple days after Pearl Harbor) He worshipped the ground the great pumpkin rolled upon... It was logical, Captain.

Scratch that... I could probably make a small dent in a few things for that kinda dough. Most weekends, the NFL gives me a pain a pill won't reach 😪.

When the Chips are down... Grab a shovel?

Hmmm..Hmm... As my Aussie friend would say. "Keep yer peckers up!" U Duh fans quack me up... Their bravado is so stripped so bare, they're de-nuded-sional.

Las Vegas wouldn't be an equitable comparison for Duck fans, distance wise. the problem is, there are no major stadiums available in similar driving distance.

FIFY... if some of those dudes were on the contiguous US back then, they would have been out faster than a Don James Era linebacker...

The obfuscationality is impressive.

Two of the most important words in the English language... 'If', and 'Then'. IF MC allows his assistants the freedom to perform with a reasonable level of autonomy, THEN it is reasonable to assume his team has a legit chance of success

How long can we swat this back and forth?
