The bald-faced dimwit has been wacko for decades

In fairness to Ty, when he did get into games, he looked better than Chris Harper at QB.

An all-time favorite hog.....JPJ! Now go protect Justin in LA please

I feel similarly about recruiting and the portal......I get excited about a player when he laces up cleats and steps on the field as a Duck. I have had my fill of 5 star recruits who never play a down and never grow tired of the 3 star kid that develops into a regular contributor. Sure I follow the drama of the offseason because I love OBD, but I don't lose sleep over the roster churn and trust the staff. The older I get the more I just enjoy the journey, the ups and the downs, and realize how precious each season is. Besides, what else a I going to obsess about? Politics, pop culture, AI.....no thanks.

I cleared the shelves at Bi-Mart....but, I could conveniently courier a couple of combustible carbon cubes Chez Vous compadre!

We'll put DeBeer's out of business!

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.

This is the key to happiness I have employed for years now.....and it works.

Make sure you don't forget to lock the van while you're gone, Matt Foley. You remember what happened last time.

The sharps know something......

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.

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.

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.

There 100% Czechoslovakian Ivory

This thread needs a "Trigger Warning". No, wait, the word 'trigger' is triggering. Uh...? Somedays I feel like Kerock the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, who struggles with modernity

Wish I could have been there.....

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.

Wow....the plot thickens

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.

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!

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.
