OK...this is funny!

The problem is more with the fans than the coach!

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction versus Purdue? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's 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, 45-20, 2, 4, 302

Wow. As we beat Ohio State, they lose to Nevada?

My impression is that the true blue-bloods, of Michigan and Ohio State were fine with our arrival, but others such as Wisconsin, Iowa and even Penn State were not excited that we could knock them all down one more place in the rankings. But now we have torqued off the ultimate Blue-Blood; isn't it sweet? The Volleyball team is No. 11 in the nation and doing well, and other sports should fare just fine. My Biggest Surprise? The officiating is every bit as bad or worse than the Pac-12, and I did not think that was possible. USC has lost two of their three games on holding or interference that were blatant, and not called. It happened to Washington last weekend, and we were certainly hosed with Ohio State getting a touchdown after we had intercepted the ball. This is going to be a REAL problem IMHO. So, if we can create frustration for them--let's do it!

Good gosh...are YOU getting anything done? I cannot believe how much time I am wasting posting, searching, reading and howling with Duck-Buddies on the phone. This is terrible for productivity.... But then...Oregon is No. 2 in the nation and we have a chance to win the B1G, go 12-0 and have a shot at the 'Natty! So we gotta SAVOR this journey!

Really? Google is your friend....

Maybe....but this is one example is why the stats for making 4th downs are not good; anything can happen! Play the odds, Dan. Take the damn points on 4th down! You had three other downs to get it done for seven points....

I love how he came up with this, but it does not remove the fact that his judgment almost cost Oregon the game. 4th and 2....you take the damn points. Then you have a four-point lead, and the whole discussion of Ohio State getting in FG range is moot. Going for it on 4th down has the odds they do...for a reason. He will have to lose another game or two by not playing the odds until he learns!

When it involves Oregon....yep!

"That game was just a bad dream....just a bad dream....just a WHAT Dream?"

Oh, I gotta save this for my "Legends of Autzen" file!

Ohio State's corner....whew! How burnt do you like your Hot Dog?

We won with Justin Roper at quarterback, but then HE got hurt and we had a freshman QB fill in for overtime. Ducks were down 20-3 at one point, and the highlights below were only 2.5 minutes. Love the uniforms...

As many of you may recall, I called for Evan Stewart to be the player of the game versus Ohio State, because we needed the downfield passing attack. Glad it happened! Although in other quarters....some fans believe that all the Bubble passes that went for nothing in prior games was setting up Ohio State for playing press coverage, and then we run past them as we did? Interesting stuff... I also felt that Matayo Uiagalelei would fill in for Jordan Burch just fine....and not only did he, but he had a great game. PFF made reference to how he cleaned up on a number of plays that Harmon helped to set up. I think we will be just fine without Burch, and no need to hurry his return. Finally, I've never seen such a good Oregon team at the halfway point and still have so much upside. The pundits are not seeing it, and the disrespect written about the Ducks only adds to how so many are going to overlook Oregon. Well, I did write this last summer about how 2024 will be a "Surprise B1G Tour" for Oregon, and that remains true, IMHO.

You are going to have a ton of us Duck fans channeling as temporary "Dawgs" in support of your team Saturday. Win, and we both benefit! Love it!
