  1. I was shouting at this one immediately after it happened...
  2. This is just with examples with Oregon, and it did not cost us. Check the Nebraska-Ohio State thread that 30Duck started, and the FOUR blown calls in that game against Nebraska. This is getting serious...
  3. Jordan! This was such a fun read, and I am glad that Oregon fans are beginning to realize how good Dan Lanning is at mentally preparing his team. A very physical B1G team with a coach who has a background in physical B1G teams was out-physicaled by OBD.
  4. So Miami beats Florida State 36-14, and Mario makes the following announcement... He is not just insufferable to Oregon fans...
  5. We all look back at the days with Chip as certainly a "glory" era, and helped us get to where we are. Now I recognize that Chip has never come close to what he did at Oregon since he left, but they made a comparison that shook me for a moment. They said that..."after 34 games of being coach at Oregon, Lanning has equaled what Chip did in his first 34 games."
  6. What is interesting is how Purdue drove up and down the field running the ball, but no points. Illinois got their only touchdown against the reserves. This is the sixth game in eight where the defense gave up 14 points or less!
  7. The final score was 38-9, and PittDuck predicted 38-10 for only one total point off! That is pretty darn good, and the closest we've had in a while. Way to go PittDuck! Two others were right there only being two total points off in Fitnessczar (39-7) and ArkieDuck (37-10) which is also incredibly close. Thanks to all who played, and congrats again to PittDuck! Nearly Halloween? We have our own Galloping Ghost!
  8. Well, the massive over-estimation of Missouri was proven by Alabama today. Whew! (34-0) Poor Beavis! Cal beats them, 44-7!
  9. We still are not believed....I think. This will continue through the rest of the season. The speed and skill of Oregon made the No. 20 team, one of the better teams out of an 18 team conference, look silly at times today. No, we are not sweet...
  10. This is why I say that we all are right about half the time; with DTs on the Illinois defense that are light--I thought we'd be pounding up the middle from the jump. No....the Ducks were attacking the perimeter with touch passes, sweeps, and Bubbles. Shows what I know... Or perhaps Oregon anticipated that Illinois would do that and stack the box, thus seal them inside and run outside? Something to watch as the game progresses...
  11. Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! The vast majority of you are GREAT in this thread, but you must remember that this forum is different, as we require civilized discourse. Discussion of negative is fine, but don't vent on us! Rule No. 31d covers GameDay Thread Conduct, and it is not hard for the vast majority of us--just a tiny few who need to reign it in when things don't go well for Our Beloved Ducks. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!
  12. We do NOT discuss the Oregon game here, as we will have a separate GameDay thread for our game, but all the others out there in CFB in this thread. (I will delete posts about the Oregon game, as we need to keep the discussions separate) Do provide score updates when you can, as well as your thoughts of what you saw in all the other games. A rich line-up of games to discuss!
  13. It is funny how a week passes, and Oregon has to prove themselves....again? Yep, that is the way until we do it several times...
  14. I wish we could expand to 16 teams and drop the conference championships games.
  15. Many of us fans wrote about it, cared, but what can we do in the cheap-seats? "In football, it is estimated that more than 1,500 walk-on players — roughly 20-30 per team — will see their spots cut." "In all, the 68 power conference schools are expected to eliminate at least 3,000 roster positions as administrators work to adhere to new roster limitations, reallocate resources from lower-tier to revenue-generating sports, and balance men and women opportunities to comply with the federal Title IX law."
  16. I would want Penn State to win, as I'd like a different opponent in the B1G Championship. But I think Ohio State has more horses, and they are going to be playing on-fire right now.
  17. I think we need the B1G current heavyweights to stay that way to get four into the Playoffs. So, I am curious about Wisconsin, since we play them, but I’ll want Penn State to win. Ditto with Ohio State and Indiana. Boise State winning helps our resume, and I’d love to see the overated Missouri lose. But that one is good-or-good, as Bama losing puts them out of the Playoffs. Cal and Beavis…who cares?
  18. Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction versus Illinois? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Lets get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon, 41-13, 2, 5, 282 Of course this time interference was called...when he caught it!
  19. Who is worse? USC fans who cannot get Oregon off their mind, or a wacko like yours-truly who enjoys it way too much! (Below is from a USC Forum) ------------------------------------------------------------- "Lanning’s had one good win (against Ohio State) in his entire 2.5 year tenure, and even there you could say that Ohio State pulled an SC and beat themselves with the OPI and clock mismanagement stuff at the end. I’m still not convinced that Lanning will win an NC, as I don’t think he’s a good enough coach to beat 3-4 equal or better roster opponents in a row in the expanded CFP." "Lemming will never win a NC. It doesn't change the fact, he's a better HC than Riley at this point." (Lemming is the new slur for Lanning in SoCal) "All things held equal, the kids are still choosing Oregon over playing for the fraud we have as HC. Luckily, that doesn't have to be exposed because Oregon is backing up the truck. We are an embarrassment, dysfunctional program lead by the biggest fraud of them all." "Oregon getting its talent for more than just the bag." "If Lanning doesn’t get it done this year or in the next two or three, Oregon can just add another disappointment to their zero championship building. Dude walked into a nice loaded team Cristobal left and has Phil knight and the administration 100% in on football. What more can you ask for? Lol" "Lanning is a hell of a recruiter. They will basically throw the kitchen sink at a recruit and make you to say no. Plus they are rank No.1, have AMAZING facilities and probably have the best NIL program IMHO. You know it is legitimate when ex-Nike executives are running the show. Y'all know who we have running ours. The person running our collective is basically learning on the job and might be great one day. As of now, Oregon is by far a better program than USC. If USC can finally get out of its own way they can be right up there." "The state of both programs are going in opposite directions and you'd figure being 3-4 would help clear the glaze but apparently, here we are still arguing the amnesty." "The way Mario built that program was not the same way this guy wanted Oregon to look. That’s why they (Lanning staff) pushed out so many dudes out of Oregon. Was it a bigger rebuild than what Riley had to inherit? No. But did they still rebuild that roster? Yeah. They went all in on the trenches and defense as soon as they got there." Oregon is running away from USC...and they know it.
  20. True. Even some great Duck fans are just....not very noble.
