Proud to Be a Duck, Win or Lose Hi everyone, This is my first post on the OBD forum after years of reading as a guest every day. Reading this post, I decided it was time to start contributing my part to the forum and lend my own position on being a fan. Thank you Charles, for the intake call. I learn from all of you and feed off your passion. Like you, I share a deep enthusiasm for the Ducks. Through great wins and brutal losses, my respect for the coaches and players never wavers. They give their all for this team, and that effort deserves my support no matter the outcome. One trend that stands out under Ciach Lanning is the average points allowed per game: Mike Bellotti: 27.0 PPG average, highest season 32.4, lowest 21.0. Chip Kelly: 23.0 PPG average, highest season 24.5, lowest 22.0. Mark Helfrich: 34.0 PPG average, highest season 42.1, lowest 25.0. Willie Taggart: 41.4 PPG average (one season). Mario Cristobal: 27.0 PPG average, highest season 30.0, lowest 25.0. Dan Lanning: 19.5 PPG average, highest season 22.0, lowest 17.9. This is just one example of a special era that continues to look promising going forward. And this on top of tying the school record for wins (13), a new program mark of 71.8% for passing efficiency, and some gritty road warrior games. Looking forward to engaging with all of you, and what's ahead in 2026.
