This did not age well...

I received an email announcing that Our Beloved Ducks will kickoff versus Illinois at 12:30 PM on CBS! Win B1G games, and move to the Primetime slots! Something tells me that evening slots will go to UCLA, USC, and Washington!

USC fans are not handling the flips to Oregon...

The No. 1 team in the Rivals Recruiting rankings for 2026 was USC, but now they lose this one, and No. 2 Oregon picks him means that we have a new current No. 1 in 2026 Rivals Recruiting Rankings. Guess who? 2026 all-teams football recruiting team rankings N.RIVALS.COM 2026 all-teams football recruiting team rankings by Rivals.com The average quality is incredible, 4.0, like the 2025 class thus far!

He is a Rivals 4-Star, and besides his offer from Oregon, his other major ones were Utah, Tennessee and of course USC. Viliami Moala | Rivals.com N.RIVALS.COM Viliami Moala - 2026 4 Star Defensive tackle for Bingham (South Jordan, UT) on Rivals.com

Oh boy....gotta love it! The allure of Autzen is working... (A 6'3" 295 lb. Defensive Tackle!)

Want some fun?

Has done it in three games now, and while this play was incomplete in the end zone...later in the game he finally got called for it at a most inopportune time for Ohio State. Buckeye fans says this is clearly NOT offensive interference. Right! (Thank you FishDuck Photographer Eric Becker!)

This is what needed to be done, and I'm glad to see it and move forward.

Good points Alex, as he was unbelievably cool under pressure. I still cannot believe how accurate he was on the Bird-Bombs, and the touchdowns. Neither could the Buckeyes!

I am going to politely disagree. I was not looking for them to "get me" in their telecast, as I assumed professional neutrality. But it was they who proved who/what they really are right up to the final words of the telecast. In fact I began a thread about those parting words right here, and clearly--many other OBD members agreed. I am sick of the lies and deceit in today's media; can they state something as it is without a spin on it? Now we are getting it in our sports telecasts? The obvious slant and spin? As the late-great Bill Walton would say, "please!" From what I've read about Ohio State fans....they never get beaten. Either they beat themselves with mistakes, or it was the officials, or corruption with the officials. (That last one is what the wacko who sent nine emails to me today was claiming) So perhaps the sportscasters were just playing to majority of their audience? I say give people the benefit of the doubt, but when they prove otherwise, (by halftime) then you have to call it for what it is. They didn't believe how Autzen could be intimidating, but they do now. What I really sensed from many different telecasts and shows on the B1G Network is that they welcome Oregon's Brand and eyeballs that benefit them all, but we are to "know our place." This is an old traditional conference, and our shiny uniforms, our inflatable river-Ducks will have to sit at the end of the table. But Oregon is pressing the issue. As Josh Pate said in his video tonight...."The B1G was expecting Oregon to have to adjust to the nature of the conference, and now the B1G is learning that they will have to adjust to Oregon." Yep, in just six games, we are impossible to ignore which will generate more of the 'tude we are seeing from them. DuckPop...I can be polite to them, but that does not mean we have to accept the nonsense they sputter on telecasts. And you and I can cheerfully disagree. (And as for being a small-time schmuck? I never said you were small) 😆

Put me in Coach! Fat-Boy here is Ready!

Good gosh, the reaction of crybaby Ohio State fans is something to behold! Will they get the Ohio Governor involved the way Oklahoma did years ago? Now keep in mind that not all fans are this way, as FishDuck has an editor who was the perfect sport after the game. She also told me that the stadium was "vibrating" a few times. What? That area is made in CONCRETE! But it got me to preparing for next time we play them, which will probably occur in two months? "Playing Ohio State again? Kinda boring, as they haven't beat Oregon in a decade." When we beat them in Basketball, Softball, Baseball, etc....."That was nice to win, and not bad considering we're a FOOTBALL SCHOOL."

I was thinking about it, but figured that Stein had another miracle play ready. But like one of the 4th downs vs. Washington last year....the QB missed an open receiver. It happens.

Basking in the glow of one of the program's biggest wins is one of life's luxuries. I cannot wipe the smile off my face!

Starting with the second half of the Boise State to now....no sacks. The first half of the Boise State game? Four sacks. Whew! I'd say we got the right combo, and we outrushed Ohio State? Oh my...

We gotta have a little B1G humor! (A fun watch)
