Sure, we've enjoyed the ride of the season and what each and every game brings. Im not discounting that. Simply put, I feel if the Ducks lose to Texas Tech that they fell short of where I believe they should be. If they get to the semis then in my book they've have gotten to where they should be. Anything more than that of course would be dreamy. And, embellishing in the title a little with a word like "bust" to hopefully draw interest? No, not me! 😛😉

Well, we'll see if Lanning's "peaking at the right time" plan pans out.

Yeah, Texas Tech should be in the category you mentioned. But. Ya never know....

Lots of great input as always. Thanks, Jon!

Agree, and will probably happen in the early 2030s when the conference television contracts are up. And bye bye bowls, you had a great century plus run.

Thanks, Charles I would prefer a 14 team playoff with 2 byes. It gives the ultra no-brainers soemthing to play for down the stretch. But, what do i know. A conversation for another day. Along with having the quarters as home games, fans will get fatigue in a couple years with all the travel once the "newness" of the playoff wears off. Oh, and adios to the conference title games.

And how bout when they made the title game in 2012 when the Ducks were clearly better. Go away, ND!

And correct me if i'm wrong, but the conference will get more money to distribute, while ND would take all of the post-season cash. Of course the ACC is going to want Miami. This is the price you pay, ND, for not fully committing to the conference. Go fly a kite!!! (keeping it PG)

Totally, they can disagree all they want, but playing the "victim" is off-putting.

Very possible, i see what you're saying.

Thank you! thanks for reading.

Great info, thanks, John!

Yes, it's silly. A "championship game" is something everyone should WANT to play in. If they don't, time to drop the game.

With a guy named "Bear" it has to be!

The days of it being a good thing that coaching staffs stayed together, like the majority of oregon's under brooks, bellotti, kelly, and helfrich are long gone. You want climbers at the OC positions, type-A guys who want to be a head coach.

Negative reminders are always helpful! thanks!

It's totally "rich!" And that's why i did it. Dang, Ducks better win now. Yes, UW tough D, but I think Lanning wants to make a point to finish the season.

Perhaps his nickname should be "the boat"

If I recall correctly, that game wasnt on TV. I listened on the radio. Dinosaur days.

I know! I need to stop holding things in. 😀

USC 🤮

I like this, sounds like something I would write: "Now that OBD's are in the BIG, your trifecta of disappointment is complete!"

Anytime! Thanks for reading.

And, they would have won by even more if they hadn't had been such hooligans. Stupid flags, celebrations, etc... But, hey, throwing together a talented group like this at OSU at the time required overlooking some character flaws, I don't blame 'em. It kick started them becoming respectable. They might have to dive back into that playbook, lol.
