Then don't read the "real-life" posts. People are just reporting the news...

Oregon State are our brothers? No, we're NOT related....

You are a new OBD forum member, and you noted in your bio your Oregon sympathies. But when I saw your handle name...while it is not something we usually condone--I thought it captured the spirit of how we love our school, and how we feel about the Bastard Huskies. Pretty clever! Welcome, and I look forward to your thoughts.

What a great first post! Welcome, and do post often...

Darren...you are so right. Oregon would have been hosed in the four-team system, just as ND was this year. Perhaps this will speed us to 16 teams, and no byes to open the Playoffs? No. 1 plays No. 16, and so on as usual seeding takes place. Yes the G6 teams can have a slot or two, but the big babies (SEC and ND) would have had all their wishes granted. And I love your writing style!

Not many great coaches left and available...

Our record speaks to good coaching on the offensive line, but it also speaks to fantastic recruiting out of the portal. It is easier to tweak an experienced O-Lineman, than the years it takes to develop one, IMHO.

Originally, I did not want to remain a No. 5 Seed, but as it turned out--this was our best scenario and I cannot complain. Let's go win!

Well, connections both good and bad. We have been attacked by global spammers from Russia, Pakistan, Vietnam and Germany recently. They have tried to register to mess us up, but my manual approval system now allows me to enjoy declining their application. On the positive side...I really appreciate everyone reading FishDuck.com articles, and ignoring the backlink sentence that helps to pay the bills. You know the sentence...something like, "Our Mr. FishDuck took a break from his degenerative addiction to a gambling site to weigh in on this topic." Know that I've NEVER actually gambled on any of these sites; I have vices, but not that one. We have THREE backlink orders this week, and they are global as well, from Sweden, Philippines, and Andorra. (Small postage-stamp ski-resort nation on the border of France and Spain) And....I do not allow backlinks to ADULT sites, but I have to admit that a site that invites you to create an AI girlfriend? I was tempted, simply for the timeliness and novelty of it. Just Giving THANKS to EVERYONE...

Look how high his HEAD is to the rim....he doesn't have to dunk!

Great article David. In the past, when we had such injuries on offense? We were cooked... But now with a defense, and better depth in the trenches--we can survive these games and build depth as newbies get PT. But when just ONE of the wide receivers return? Look Out!
