Jesus, PURPLE? That color reminds me of a Corpse Lily that someone planted in our yard, a decade or so back... Putrid! Just like their current brand of football.

Polluted... Stagnant?

Oregon Storm Trouper assault on Flushkie stadium... What a massacre!

What's the descriptive term for a young father's reaction when rocking a sick child in the wee hours of the morning, and just as he dozes off, the burbling sound of fresh vomit assaults his ears for the first time? Yeah, that word!

The outcome of this game could easily lead to the appellation, "Fanturd", if things go the way Duck fans hope.

I remember Oregon fans being petrified when the Ducks were forced to play an unheralded QB named Graziani against USC, when Danny O'neil was forced to sit out the game with a flesh eating virus on his throwing hand... Seems to me that game turned satisfyingly well, as did the rest of the season.

Oregon Health Sciences University was a subsidiary of the University of Oregon, at one time. Oregon also had an engineering department. The state of Oregon dictates what each school is allowed to offer, and spun off those programs at some point in the past.

It's a package protector with the instruction sheet attached...

Charles, that picture presents a vastly superior view than the somewhat similar combination employed by the Oregon football program in the recent past!

4 quarters of that 34-3 offense we glimpsed would easily come close. Dang, that was some uplifting stuff to watch, for a bit!

I was sitting there with my Grandson, foolishly thinking , "Geez, they way this half is going, a couple more first downs, and Duckies might have this", then the field opened up in front of Brown, like the parting of the Red Sea, and he, he... threw that gawdoffal pick, instead of scampering for an untouched 7-10 yards. Why can't Duck fans have nice, relaxing, Saturdays in the fall? Oh, well, glad I don't have to eat crow, again... Yet.

Ya'know... It's NOT me! OK, not funny, I know. I appreciate the dedication, Charles!

Nightmare green is close enough to black to get the attention of any viewers watching Oregon stomp an opponent into the turf at Oregon. A stampede on a cattle drive is fast and deadly, compared to the daily grind the cowboys preferred. (At least that's what my grandpa liked to spin yarns about when talking about the long cattle drive he made to get from Oklahoma to Oregon... )

That was pretty much my main complaintwhen Chip was here... Oregon lack the ability to play tough when that was the needed factor. Smarter or faster? Those were Oregon's hallmark. Tougher, especially along the both lines might have given the Ducks a better opportunity to get the job done in the few games where speed was simply not enough.

Helf had his shortcomings (I know, UNDERSTATEMENT of the decade!), but he definitely could get more out of a QB than some give him credit for. I wish Costa had been able to have a more protracted playing experience... I believe he might have been part of the answer.

IIRC, the "tree" was introduced as their mascot shortly after the Cardinal replaced the "Indians" as Stanford's mascot... If memory serves, it was at an Oregon game, around the time the timber based economies of Oregon and Washington were coming under heavy attack by the environmentalist movement. At the time it was considered by many as a cheap shot. Some of us failed to recognize the thinly veiled insult as "humor"

Graves is here because of his long, VERY successful career. Oregon recruited him as hard as Graves pursues top level student athletes.

Just be glad OUR Duck is Green and Yellow... It could be worse, And beats the heck outa "Gamecock!

OMG!!! Is that a fuskie grave he's dancing on? How droll!

My vote goes to Campbell. I believe at times he was the best RB coach in college football.

Stanford is his other major academic institution of note, IIRC. Didn't PK have a Masters of some kind from there? Hard to believe my first running shoes were bought from him when they (Eugene Off Willamette Street, IIRC.)

Hopefully it is a huge boost for the Ducks, and Eugene, as well. I honestly haven't flown Southwest since my flight was delayed in Phoenix, and they decided to put us all up at a hotel adjacent to the ASU campus, on a party weekend... Let's just say, nobody got any sleep, that night!

Doubters need to admit, Lombardi inherited a @*%?!! Show when her predecessor departed, and still managed to produce a half decent result with a miss-matched mash-up of walk-on's, late transfers, and players lined up in positions they traditionally hadn't played in the past. Even more impressive wass the start put together by the team in last year's COVID shortened season. This year, with a much better prepared squad, and several well chosen additions to the line up, her talents are being highlighted in spectacular fashion. This is looking like it may have been an Altman-like hire. Time will tell.

Yo-Yo-Yo! It was a very impressive performance, on a weekend when the Ducks were putting on a show.

I keep looking at Joey Harrington and Jason Feeley... Feeley had by far the longer pro career, yet couldn't keep his starting gig at Oregon once JH got his chance.
