This would have been so cool for Bill Walton... Turn up the background music!

OK...maybe this is not so bad. It is good to have some fun on a game that will not be too challenging--right?

Never seen this before at Oregon! Both backups have used their redshirt year, and both are in uniform on the sidelines...but don't play in garbage time? No facts or explanations on the other sites, except the same speculation as we have here. Just that thread on ScoopDuck alone is enough to make me very grateful for the community here. There are a ton of attacks on each other for simply disagreeing, or scolding each other for bringing up the question, etc. Civility is highly underrated.

BeaverStateDuck! With a final score of 56-10, and his guess of 52-9 was only FIVE points off the total! Pretty darn good, and it was GREAT to see a Duck fan rewarded for being super-positive, instead being a bit hesitant as most of us are prone to be after tough loss. Thanks to all who had fun with it, and CONGRATS again to BeaverStateDuck! I Was Almost Right There With You!

The list of surprises is long, but for me--it was great to see the offensive line get angry and dominate a so-so program's defensive line. No playing down, as we had hat-on-hat often, and saw superb extended blocking. On the flip side...I saw a few holds by us that were not called, and would love to clean that up. What surprises were there for YOU?

It is the question of the day...

OK, let's transition to new threads after the game. Start one!

He grew up a USC fan, as his father had season tickets that they sat in.

Our own NJDuck and his family are seated on the 40 yard line, mid-way up at this game. Good for him!

Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish. But Note the Parameters: --This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past. --You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week. Remember how we discussed this upfront in this thread. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

So the Huskies and Wolverines at tied at half 7-7, and Vanderbilt leads LSU 17-13 at half? Something to keep an eye out for...

You are my-kind-of-fan! Not everyone would agree....

24-13 with seven and a half minutes left...Louisville!

This is from someone on another site... "I heard a really interesting clip from a Michigan State radio broadcast on 1080 The Fan in Portland this morning. They are NOT happy with Jonathan Smith in Lansing. Said he doesn’t recruit, not good with the portal, and doesn’t work with the donors/boosters. They actually called him a “Weirdo”. They also claimed that when Oregon State was left without a conference he felt he had to go and that he really didn’t want to leave Corvallis. Supposedly his agent strongly encouraged him. He has a $31 Million buyout and apparently, MSU is considering giving it to him. So “why not” Smith returning to Corvallis? He loved it there. OSU can’t get anyone better. Before you say “no way”, remember, Mike Riley left and was welcomed back. It could be a win-win for both parties."

Jordan, you always are quite entertaining to read, as who wouldn't gag at the mental image of eating a "hair-salad?" The additional facts are very helpful as well. We are grateful for you!

No, Oregon got THREE fired. Gundy of Oklahoma State, Bray of Oregon State, and Franklin of Penn State. We DID help one get a massive raise and extension! (Cignetti) Is Oregon the new measuring stick these days?

30Duck sent his prediction along and it is: Oregon 38-17 1 Turnover 1 Sack 249 Passing Yards

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Oregon versus Rutgers? 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. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are the same? The first one who posted wins, automatically. TerryM9 gets 42-6 locked in every time as his. (I love this guy!) 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 3 251

The original post... (You can't make this stuff up!) Some narratives never change...

Thanks to our friends at Message Board Geniuses who capture the best trolls, rants and wild stuff. He is suggesting the next replacement for the current Missouri coach....

For coaches who remain loyal to the school who gave them a chance...I salute it. Dan Lanning has stated many times his loyalty to Oregon for giving him, a coach with NO head-coaching experience, a chance. Two Loyal Men...

Third highest salary in the nation...just as his Hoosiers are No. 3.
