Wait....I thought Alex Grinch was the problem?

Of the two teams, arguably, Oregon has more room to improve. I think we took their best shot. In a rematch, with Burch, Howard will have even less time for routes to develop.

In the Pac-12, that PI call would have been automatic. B1G refs seem to swallow the whistle more. I prefer the B1G option.

According to Brock Huard and Jason Bennetti, Tez is an NFL prospect who will challenge NFL LB'ers with his elusive ability to get open. I hope Stewart wasn't hurt on the end zone throw...

I read a lot of discontent with the offense. I am no expert. Replacing JPJ, Bo Nix and Bucky Irving has a lot to do with any perceived drop-off doesn't it? Plus, a possible 16-game season in a more difficult conference. Pacing the playbook and utilizing roster depth were issues Dan identified in the off-season when talking with NFL coaches about these transitions. Another view is that the Ducks are strengthening depth, connection and technique by limiting the offense against lesser competition. Time will tell, but I find this perspective as valid as the Chicken Little version right now.

The Punk-12 Conference of Chumpions

I am over my Mariø hate since we traded up. Cam Ward may make his long-term regime imminent, but he is a once in a lifetime talent (see: Michael Penix) and will represent peak-Hurricane in the Cristobal era.

In my hood, it's Tryon Creek Bar & Grill.....Burlingame. Or Hanko's in Mountain Park. Beneficial pours is all I'm sayin'

If AC/DC is the choice, then Hells Bells seems like a good choice?

I share your biorhythms, Annie. I usually record these games and get up Sunday morning to watch before the NFL games start. It has the added advantage that in the event we lose (last year, UW) I can delay the torture indefinitely.

Nishad has a strong gastronomic game

If we have to do this in Football every year, then if I am Mullens, I refuse to play in Corvallis ever again. You want it, come to Autzen.

I am not even a "singer in a rock-n-roll band" so take my thoughts with a ton of salt.....but, sitting at home, that sun angle looked brutal. A couple of close-ups of DG during the quarter the Ducks were driving to the west, showed him squinting and blocking the sun with his extended hand between plays.

Memo to Rob Mullens: Call Southern Oregon University and schedule them in Week 10 every year. Also known as the Crimson Tide's Directional State University late season "bye" week to heal up for the stretch run strategy.

The Forum with Decorum

Jim Loscutoff approves

I was gutted when Pre died. Today feels the same. Though Bill's record-setting days were over, unlike Pre's, he was living his best life as an elder statesman and broadcaster. My two childhood heroes gone. I ran track and played basketball because of those two athletes. Bill turned me into a Deadhead too. It all rolls into one.....

I hope we can start gearing up our shipbuilding capacity once again......what a wonderful addition to the fleet!

Nothing about this is surprising to me. Feel badly for the victim and hope he gets paid. Assault someone, blame them and then blow off court thinking there won't be consequences? Character counts.

I think Mr. Neon should spend more time studying film and leave the talking to the winners. Earn it first, then open your pie-hole

tOSU has a loaded roster, too....though I am much less familiar with the individual players they have. As for OBD, DL and Safety were my concerns coming into this Spring. I believe Charles and others expressed the same assessment. Not only did the Danimal go out and fill those gaps, he did so with arguably the best options available. Ice water in his veins, stone cold assassin.....like Payton Pritchard icing the Dawgs in Hec Ed with a dagger 3 at the OT buzzer.

Booty? I grew up with a Booty. Not General Booty rather, Illgotten. Illgotten Booty.....wasn't a General though he might have been a Pirate.

Wow...lot of options, line-ups, styles of play available to Dana next season. Should be fun to watch.
