In just a couple of carries--Harris showed more "wiggle" than either Whittington or Limar, IMHO.

If I actually bet...that would be hard. Do I use the one in the UK, India or Australia?

Some interesting quotes from a pundit in The Athletic with my comments in bold... ------------------------------------------------- "Illinois is to play No. 1 Oregon as massive underdogs in one of the rowdiest stadiums in the nation this season. Eugene isn’t typically listed among the wildest venues in the sport, but the big games Oregon has hosted in 2024 have been a scene. Illinois will be walking into a high-energy thresher to face an Oregon team without many, if any, weak spots." Opposing teams don't get it until they experience it, and every team in the B1G will not be sold until they come to Autzen. Expect an Illini offense a little in shock... "The junior Illini QB is pressured on 40 percent of his dropbacks, and Illinois is ranked 124th in tackles for a loss allowed. Oregon’s daunting pass rush should make a meal out of Altmyer’s protection detail." Oh baby, that is NOT a good matchup against Oregon. Sack-Attack coming! "The Illini have a highly credible defense of their own, coming in at 22nd in points allowed per game (18.6). However, they’ve been wide open to rushing attacks lately, which means Oregon’s Jordan James could be in line for some resume-boosting stats." Right. They have 270 pound defensive tackles of which are 40-50 pounds undersized to what our offensive line is used to. This is one time that the most boring play in the playbook, the most basic play, the Inside Zone, might just be the primary play of the Oregon offense in this game. Thus I do not think we will see anything new from the playbook...

I did not create it, but copied it from another site and filed it under, "Legends of Autzen," although I did not think I would be using it just a week later!

Man...the schedule is so sad. But it is only for one year! Then they move up to playing....Colorado State, Utah State... Some of us aren't sad....

No, it is not. We lose NINETEEN starters, and only return THREE. When has that ever happened to Oregon football?

Look...they KNEW what they were doing... Right? (Is that Boise State?)

Until Saturday night. They will drop out of the standings in a heartbeat....

First time Klatt got it right?

Yep, this is the Oregon B1G 2024 Surprise Tour, as EVERY team we play will have to learn for themselves. Few will have respect, despite what has been written about it. The legends of Autzen will grow! And we welcome any visiting sucker to buy a ticket!

Yes, that is what I said last to myself last year privately, while crossing all my fingers as I thought it. But this year...we do not have a very large high school recruiting class because we do not have the scholarships available, and if the 105 were being accounted for....then our recruiting efforts would reflect it. Look at how many recruits we have committed for 2025 compared to other teams... 2025 all-teams football recruiting team rankings N.RIVALS.COM 2025 all-teams football recruiting team rankings by Rivals.com My Duck-Buddies, I am a DUCK, not a Chicken-Little, but I think alerting all of you to this is helpful?

The Athletic did an article about how there are 30 teams in week nine that still have a shot at the Playoffs. That interest generated is great for the teams, and the sport.

OK...I loved this, but the reference is a little dated for many here....isn't it? TV viewers become outraged as football game is cut off to air “Heidi” WWW.HISTORY.COM On November 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders score two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets—and no one sees it, because they’re watching the movie Heidi instead... I never understood it all, since I tuned in to watch Heidi.....

Kind of like Beavis, now?

I don't think DeBoer got stupid overnight. He is a great coach, and I'm glad he's out of our conference. He'll turn it around...

USC lost two games on non-calls that gave opponents touchdowns, as did the non-call on Bassa's interception in the Buckeye's first drive. This is serious stuff that they do not appear to be interested in correcting. We are being set up to be...

Why would anyone doubt these guys? I still want to know...who is Larry, Curley, and Moe?
