Darren Perkins

If he and the Ducks have a very good season, his name will most likely be in the mix (which is what I'm reasonably hoping for) and then if luck and other top contenders falter then who knows.... crazier things have happened.

Yikes, we don't need Clemson rebounding, we need them to have several repeats in a row of last year.

Nix's name did consistenly come up in the 15-25 range, so it's not like he's totally coming out of nowhere. And, I think that after the low-grade MC offense has trained us to have minimal expectations with the offense (can you image us saying the pre-MC? Crazy), but the offense will for sure be more explosive, if he can cut down on the mistakes, the Ducks win the Pac-12 (which is not a crazy thought) then his could very well be in the mix. But, yes, alot would need to go right.

Stop making so much sense! Lol. It's June and the Ducks are going to win the natty and Nix the Heisman and that is that!!! But seriously, maybe not "zero" in my book, but pretty darn low chance, I do agree. Yeah, I was wondering about DJ as well, but his name is in the mix even though he stank last year, they must be betting on being at Clemson and a year 2 improvement.

Agreed, but I'm grasping onto that sliver of hope.

Very true. It will be so nice to have a non-conservative offense, if MC was still coach, and somehow we still got Nix, there is no way I would have even thought about Nix and the heisman. But, now, we have hope.....

I hear ya. I've been there, I have certainly been there....

Agree. If the Ducks are sloppy with the ball it could get ugly, but if they protect the football they should cover.

I would buy the spread if we had an inexperienced qb such as Thompson, but Nix keeps us in it.

Seems right to me as well.

Should provide more inspiration.

well said...

agree, I expect it to go down as the game gets closer.

yeah, that seems more reasonable, maybe even 12, but 17? nah.

Oregon-Georgia: I'm Betting on a Close Game FISHDUCK.COM Darren Perkins of FishDuck.com believes that the 17-point spread on the Oregon-Georgia game is...

I see Utah as being the Wisconsin of the Pac-12.

Well heck, I have to respond to this one: Thank You!

That's a scary thought, for sure.

Very true. And it didn't seem like those who had worked under MC left the working relationship on great terms.

Agree about the expansion. And, the Pac-12 can always attempt to expand down the line, best GK get his footing under him first before doing anything rash.

Good call. I think he'll learn the sideline quickly.

Yes, good timing with Oregon, USC, and UW seemingly on the rise.

For sure, on the upcoming tv deal, but definitely feel better with him making the deal than Larry.

I'm not sure what he could have done to entice the Big 10 (who opted to stick to 9 conference games instead of dropping to 8 for Alliance games), but dang, it would be nice if they would.

Thanks, Charles. Ya know, naming names it just too easy, we all love a "mystery." ; )
