The Most Nervous EVER? This is the WORST Week...

The Most Nervous EVER? This is the WORST Week...
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I am on double colon-clench lockdown this week. If I were to use a Kingsford charcoal briquet as a suppository, by Friday's kickoff, it would be a diamond. We're talking pressure on a geologic scale.- 72 replies

The Most Nervous EVER? This is the WORST Week...

This is the key to happiness I have employed for years now.....and it works. -
Revisionist History, What Would You Chose?
idontrollonshobbas replied to Steven A's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The loss hurt.....but having the pressure on the Doogs for the last 5 weeks has been beneficial to us. -
Yep, we are in Bama/Georgia strata for now in terms of coordinator poaching....there will be a rotation through the program as long as we are successful. In a couple of years, we will be rehabilitating someone like Chip or Billy Napier into a second chance HC. I hope we hang on to some position coaches that recruit like banshees and maintain the culture.

Jonathan Smith...STAY With the Beavers!
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Agree totally with Mr. FishDuck on this. Jonathan Smith is a Duck nemesis. I have animosity toward the fine gentleman ever since a crappy November night in Corvallis in 1998. -
Are Oregon's Corners Too Physical for the Pac-12?
idontrollonshobbas replied to David Marsh's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The number one aspect of the Pac-12 I will not miss is the officiating. It has always been a detriment to style of play and the comparison to other Power 5 conferences. A huge chunk of the conference's "softness" reputation is due to the way Pac-12 officials were groomed for league play. Once we found out that Limo Larry was trying to control game calls live from a "central location" it confirmed that the Pac-12 was an outlier in how it viewed the role of officiating as "consequential" to the game. Other conferences let the flow of play, coaching, game planning and player talent dictate the action with officiating as a "last resort" competitive element. Now we get to smash mouth with the big kids and leave the nursery school behind. Good riddance. Oh, and I won't miss road games at Stanford, The Palouse, Bean Dip Bowl, and the Arizona Desert either. -

Rationale for Predicting a Blowout vs. USC
idontrollonshobbas replied to Solar's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Caveat: I am no genius. That said, I would run the ball and bleed the clock until they can consistently stop our backs. Keep the ball out of Williams' hands and build a lead through a quick first half. After a 7:30pm cold November start in Autzen, and a 3 score deficit at Halftime, if the Ducks get possession to start the second half and score, the Trojans will fold. -
Caleb Williams - Out Rest of Season?
idontrollonshobbas replied to Desert Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
What's an 'Acho'? -
I suggest watching it in June. By then the Ducks will have finished the best season in school history and the loss will be the catalytic moment you will want to watch in the dark depths of "the off-season"

While I lament the downfall of the Pac-12, two things I will struggle to miss are playing Stanford and Wazzu....two teams that haunt my OBD dreams.

Prime's humility would be more impressive if it showed up when he wins, instead of only when he gets his aZZ handed to him.

Famous FishDuck Keys to Beating the Huskies
idontrollonshobbas replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Wow...how right you are. I haven't watched that show, or ESPN in general, for a few years....and I remember why now. Gameday is a jock version of The View. Four people talking at once and somehow saying nothing. I was never a fan of anti-Duck Pollack, but McAfee makes him seem erudite. According to the Google, Pat was a Pro Wrestler, Punter, and "kickoff specialist." They couldn't find some one with more insight than that? Where's Ray Guy when you need him.....or George Blanda? 26 year pro football career! -
UW Has an Extra Week to Fix Weaknesses
idontrollonshobbas replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Pressure is on the Doogs. There are higher ranked, at home, with Gameday and all eyes on them, and they won in Eugene last year so the lazy narrative is that they should win due to all of the above If we protect the ball and can get to Penix, we will neutralize the home field advantage. Then it comes down to turnovers and penalties. I like being the road dog here. -
Beavers vs. Utes: Who is Your Pick?
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I think the Utes win ugly.....19-17 DJU needs a pristine pocket to complete long throws. Utes will disrupt him enough that he throws 2 picks. -
QUAAAAACK! 2026 5-Star DL Tony Cumberland Commits to Oregon

Another site suggests he will reclassify as 2025 -
Bryce Boettcher - Another Eugene Product & Surprise
idontrollonshobbas replied to Mic's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I like the Joe Walker comparison for Bryce....both in terms of style of play and being a surprise star to us fans. Kiko was a high profile recruit...Joe was a JUCO transfer. Bryce is a walk-on. All three are instinctual ballers who deliver a payload upon impact. -
I saw the 60 minutes segment on him that made him more sympathetic to me than I was before as well. It will be interesting to see if he continues coaching past his kid's college era. He doesn't need the money, or he could make the same money with less work, given his brand. So if he continues coaching when his sons are in the NFL, then he must have an abiding passion for developing young men. And there is seemingly no limit of young men who need mentors, coaches, teachers and parental figures in their lives. I teach at a community college covering a chunk of rural Oregon, and I would love to have more guys like Deion leading young men to become their best selves, instead of slowly giving up on their circumstances.
