I read your post, Charles and realized "Hey that sounds familiar!" I did the exact same thing that day.....who knows we may have been standing right next to one another. I am ashamed at my behavior when the Ducks are losing. I am an irredeemable quack addict.

Seen enough yet?

Wait until basketball season when PAC-12 officiating makes 40 minute games last 2.5 hours and kills all game flow. #deargodpleaseswallowyourwhistle

IMHO, Ward and Wazzu played 3.5 quarters of unbelievable offense, abetted by unfamiliarity, a wide open playbook, unbelievable luck to escape losses (Ward's pitch over a defender is a disaster 99% of the time), dumb penalties on our part, crappy officiating, and home field mojo. In Autzen that score is much different. Though the officiating crappiness would still be there. Oregon took Wazzu's best shot and then some.

I did notice that Riley and Rogers started on the DL....new transfers in this year.

If you were a HS lineman who had been considering Oregon before, wouldn't you be even more interested now given the play of both lines through 3 weeks? I think Klemm and Tuioti have these lines playing more cohesively than they ever did under Web Ewbank (our last coach whose scheme antiquity set us back to the 50's) and Lupoi and Dilly schemes make the game fun and challenging, as opposed to pounding sand each play. So, you big fellas out there looking for a landing spot, come on down!

I love that Lanning highlighted having to work on his coaching approach during SHOUT Mentioned (tongue-in-cheek) needing to establish possible performance criteria for players to be eligible to dance because he wants to do some coaching up on the sideline prior to resumption of play. R E L E N T L E S S

Short passes to the perimeter and long balls to the non-Gonzo side of the secondary are where we are being attacked. LB's are going to be neutralized somewhat by that approach.....except Bassa, and to a lesser degree Brown, who can cover in space. Bassa was on fire from what I saw

Lanning's quote in last week's presser when asked about Noah indicated that they are using NS in different positions within multiple packages. My take on that was they want him to be the focus of the Offense's shifts to allow others to gain keys on the play and disrupt....to decoy and take on 2 blockers essentially.

Scott Frost has epitomized The Peter Principle for over a decade now. Each successor that followed him on his career climb while at Oregon outshined him. I don't say this out of any animosity towards the guy....I was psyched when Chip brought him in.....he just seemed underwhelming to me. Except when he held back LGB from tearing Bryon Hout's head off.....now that was impressive and exceeded my expectations.

Add SDSU, Fresno St., UNLV, Nevada, Utah St. and Colorado St. There is some symmetry there and geographic rivalries could spur these schools to up the ante on their programs. Will it compete with the 2 big leagues? No. But that ship has sailed already. Bring back the (now Pac16) championship game and hold it in the new LA Stadium. Then go beat out-of-conference teams in bowl games

With so many weapons, distribution will be wide, making a skill player an outside bet. So, a QB, as David Marsh said is the easy choice. For a flyer, I would look at a receiving TE. Dilly's offense will unleash this position. In a feel good story for the ages, I am placing my bet on Cam McCormick. May the Schwartz be with us.

Nothing is worse than the PAC-12 officials.....who, rumor has it, is considering flagging thought crime this season. I wish we had SEC officiating every PAC-12 game. Those folks understand the "flow of the game" and when to swallow the whistle. Bear Bryant once said there is a penalty on every play.....PAC-12 officials get paid by the flag apparently.

He did look good......against Duquesne. I had a Duquesne barbecue once.

And he's right during basketball season 🥸

Have a great time.....Eugene in Fall on gameday is a blast. Walk to the stadium from campus, cross the river and check out the Mo Center inside the gates for pre-game. After the game, hit a tailgater in the parking lot before wandering back across the river and through campus to Rennie's for the wind down. Sy's pizza for a slice between brews is around the corner from Rennie's. Just follow the crowd both ways and you'll get to where you need to go.

This^^^ Rennie's or The Cooler would be better options on game day. They will have good local brews on tap without the skinny jeans & avocado toast vibe. Of course I am 60 so.... Besides, you can always go to Ninkasi or another brewery for the microbrew tour/tasting experience on Friday or Sunday.

Thanks, Stray! i was at those home games in his era but didn't recognize him. His DL teammate Matt Brock was drafted by the Packers and got most of the attention on that squad.

At 2:06, who is #43 the LBer with the tackle against UCLA.....looks like Akili era unis He drops the back and in one move, slides and pops up to throw the full arm "O"

In the modern environment, good online media is either ad-supported or for-pay. Totally understandable for all of your cost and efforts.

Now that is academic prowess!

If Dana wants him, I want him. I trust Dana's ability to determine his value. The danger is he thinks he's his Dad when he is really Adam Morrison.

They couldn't be worse than the NCAA so why not?
