HappyToBeADuck

So many outstanding and passionate thoughts on this "one of a kind site". I agree that a paying customer has every right to voice their displeasure. Booing is a part of the entertainment business! Doesn't make the situation any less painful to watch. I have 3 thoughts that keep swimming thru my brain. First: Wonder what the potential recruits felt, as they heard the boos? Many a Duck recruit has been sold by the loud, supportive crowd at Autzen. The most recent commit mentioned that he was influenced by the fan support at the Stony Brook game. He's not the first to mention the crowd and atmosphere influenced their decision to join the duck family. Second. The comments about how fast a power house program can disappear right before your eyes. (USC, FSU, Nebraska, the peewee team up north, for example. Oregon is not immune from downturns. 1998-2001. 38-10 2002-2004 20-17 2005-2014. 106-26 2015-2017 20-18 2018-YTD 30-10 My hat is off to the AD'S and coaches who made the necessary changes and adjustments of the last 25 years. We are not in the scrap heap of has been programs because of that. And we are not headed their now. (Blinders in full effect) Third: When the 2 deeps are announced for the UCLA game. Look at the true freshman, covid freshman, redshirt freshman and sophomores on that list. Add in the injuries and our results are pretty solid. We may fall flat and end up 6-6. We may end up 11-2 and headed to Rose Bowl. These coaches are teaching 18 year olds to compete with 5th and 6th year players. I love this painful journey as we watch boys grow to be men. Go Ducks and thank you to all for what you bring to this safe site.

Thank you 30Duck for taking the time to present these stats. The rushing leaders are at the top of their divisions, with winning records. For the most part, the passing leaders are finding wins difficult. Go Ducks! Help the believers believe again. Very certain you have the right stuff, coaches too!

As a displaced Coug, I have been a rabid Duck fan since moving to Oregon in 1984. Just as things got moving forward on the Duck gridiron. For almost 3 decades Duck football had an identity. IMHO! Recruits knew what they were signing up for. Since CK left I have been wondering what our identity is. Maybe some potential Aircraft Carriers, Bell Cows and their parents are wondering that, too?
