Painful and deserved...

Spending 13% of the athletic budget on an oversized novelty chainsaw just to lose to UNLV on homecoming? The state of Nevada OWNS Beavis...

This is JUST like Marcus...

I dare you....try, TRY to watch this without getting the wiggles...

It is incredible what he has done in just 2.5 seasons as our coach. It feels like...

In this instance....your point about how far we have to go is true, but being No. 1 does have meaning for the fans, the recruits and national awareness. To have that coverage for another 5-6 weeks would be nice!

I love that label you coined. So descriptive and perfect!

That so warms my heart, as the reason I created this forum is because of the absence of rational discussion in other places. Just this morning a moderator caught a political comment immediately and hid it from view. It is SO NICE to read posts without any thought of having to screen for politics, or nastiness between people. Although, one thing I've learned is that nice discussion comes from NICE PEOPLE. This is a special community, and I so appreciate you and everyone who posts their thoughts.

But the Comcast problem is over, so we can easily watch it there when it happens. No sweat.

We get PRIME-TIME at Oregon! Oh yeah!

For those who did not see this in another thread...it is from the Trojan Wire site where they are wringing their hands... ---------------------------------------- "Meanwhile, USC’s Western competitor, the Oregon football machine, is now No. 1 in the poll. It’s a worst-case scenario for USC football under Lincoln Riley."

Another benefit to the B1G that Oregon is in the conference? For the first time in NINE years....the B1G has a team ranked as No.1 during the regular season. This has not happened since Ohio State was back in 2015, thanks to the information provided from The Athletic. This is going to be a very successful relationship for both parties...

The longer we are No. 1, the easier it is to retain the recruits who have verballed to Oregon. Pretty cool for them to say that they are committed to the No. 1 team in the nation, and that builds pride for them and a sense of ownership in the program. This is important because we have some top players who while verballed....are still taking other trips. Not good. The top-spot ranking helps a ton in those cases. I don't think Dan is going to deviate from his plan to slowly roll-out the offense and defense in order to "win-bigger" to retain the top spot. Right now just winning is what matters, as the B1G Championship is going to be a pretty tough game...

Guess you didn't see this... Oregon’s Secret That Nobody Talks About... | FishDuck FISHDUCK.COM There has been so much written about Oregon football in the last couple of days, yet I sense there is a major element to the remainder of the season that…

The offense would be if we played the same way as back then, in terms of our philosophy at the time. 1. Back then, to make a two-team or four team Playoff...you needed style points and win impressively. Not now, just win and get to the 12 team Playoff. 2. Lanning consulted with NFL teams on how to navigate the long season, since the Ducks could play as many as 16 or 17 games. He has changed his approach on many items as a result. 3. Instead of revealing this year's playbook right away and scoring more points, we are getting a lead and then killing clock to shorten the game and reduce the possibility of the other team having enough possessions in the second half to win. This allows you to slowly unfold the playbook, and we are actually seeing that happen this season; a very slow-rollout of the offense, IMHO. We didn't do this much until lately....and we will gradually see more of it. This offense has massive upside remaining...IMHO.

30Duck posted this article on another thread, (thanks!) and I thought I'd combine them. Congrats to Sabrina!
