First of all, I think Vernon Adams does have a relationship to Oregon State, as I believe his team upset Oregon State before he came to Oregon. Second, how could a mistake like an accidental published article happen? As a publisher of over 6000 articles, 600 written by yours truly, I, and the other writers of FishDuck can tell you that it is real easy to make a mistake like that. The damn “Publish” button is right next to the “Save” button in WordPress, the most common publishing platform used these days. I cannot tell you how many times that I have accidentally published an article that I was writing for the future, or for a “What-if?” And then it got published accidentally because I had a spasmodic moment! Or exhaustion, or momentary confusion, or just plain being as senile as it gets at my age. I have a lot of bones to pick with other members in the media, and how they write and report things, but an accident like that is something I completely understand.

In some of our Simulated Pressures, we overload blitz one side, while the defenders on our other side will rotate back into the short hook zones. The speed of our No. 44, freshman Teitum Tuioti is superb, and he has been used as a Spy against running QBs, and has often rotated back--right into the middle of the hook zone where the hot receiver or TE drag routes will get thrown to. Great point, as that TE can be a 3rd down killer for them.

We can still get pressure on him with only four rushing and seven dropping back with Lanning's Simulated Pressures, where they do not know where the pressure is actually going to come from. And we overload a side to create the pressure while have seven in coverage. We will see some of that today, because we will not worry as much about Penix taking off running. Simulated Pressures are a bigger gamble against a team that has a good running quarterback as North Carolina did, and as Texas Tech had. The most running yards we gave up all season was to the Red Raiders, and most of that was Tyler Shough. I don't see that threat tonight...

Does Lanning have a DeBoer problem? Not for long!

For those who have a problem with hitting Penix hard early--see the video below. It is qued up to the play I am referring to... Did you have a problem with the hit in the video above when it happened? Why not? It put that QB out of the game?

Wow. Great information, as it certainly seems plausible. That would mean the actual injury took place some time ago, and he is going through what your wife went through....which means that he will be very sensitive tonight?

That is a massive point...just huge. Whereas the Husky offense has declined in the same time...

My Duck-Buddies, You may have noticed an issue with a video popping up in the lower right area of your computer for a few days, and if you left the forum page up in your browser--a video would start playing! It would take me too long to find the damn thing and shut if off, and I did not want to do that every time and I certainly did not want the good people of this community to suffer through that nonsense. It took me a couple of days, but I got it all turned off from the advertising platform company. Oh, they told me how much more money the site could make with them, but again--I do operate by the Golden Rule, as I hate it when other sites do that to me. My philosophy on this is similar to your personal information shared in your membership profile. In 12 years of two sites--of thousands of readers, members and hundreds of writers and editors--I have never sold or shared that information with any marketing organization, and never will. I hate it when companies pass my data around, and I will not take part in that here. The sites make enough from ads to pay the costs of the site, thus they are 'hobby' sites for me. No amount of these other strategies are going to appreciably help my bottom line anyway. A New Problem I Am Working On... Over the last couple of days--when you come to the forum on a mobile phone--you would occasionally get a strange sight, as the form looked completely different. (See below) This is a new problem, and I am working on it with the Advertising Platform again, as it is their issue as well. And I just got the Spamming problem solved! Sheesh.

Mike, I think you make an excellent point. The totality of physical AND mental superiority needs to be addressed, as there is no other coach-on-the-field as Bo Nix. It is massive impact on our success, and one that is overlooked by most doing the voting-I am sure. Thanks for the guest article!

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction versus Washington? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Lets 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, 41-24, 1, 2, 378

No thank you. We need more accuracy, although he would be an adequate backup in case of QB injuries.

Yep, recruit tons to the position, and find out who is best. And then the others who are 4th team transfer out… Rinse and repeat.

Jon, I like your 16 team playoff—more games for revenue, and we would see an occasional upset. A No. 13 beats a No. 4?

A really good point. The objective then for coaches is to "make the tournament," when none of those teams actually have a chance of winning the tournament. I cannot tell you how many times I see protracted discussions about teams making the tournament or not and I say to myself..."the tournament is to establish a national champion...and that team should not even be in the discussion." However this football year? We could have seen some VERY interesting games if we went to 12 or even 16 teams.

You could have a comfortable 17 point lead for most of the game...and in three plays those bastards can turn the tables. Their QB and receivers are that good...

I'm not going to have any fingernails left....

This is the worst week for me in a very long time. I am much more nervous, anal, agitated, distracted, pissy, annoyed, and over-the-top-loud,...than usual. I banned a new member this week for twice being rude to me in public on the forum. Now I could argue that he should been at least reprimanded for simply being stupid...I mean, when you poke-the-bear...what do you expect? But I realized my reaction was over-done due to my anxious state. (I released the ban, explained what he did wrong, and now we forget about it and move forward--unless he does it again) This week is murder on my nerves. I've talked to a ton of people who are feeling the same because the stakes are so darn high in this game. The most since a 'Natty game nine years ago? How about for YOU?

There IS quite a resemblance to new Oregon State coach Trent Bray!

Wow, these will be a collector's item...for Oregon fans!

I am getting too nervous. I agree this is the most complete team, but Good-Gosh the stakes are incredible. What you win is amazing, and if you lose...it is more than just a loss. Whew!

Reminds me of another game...but I like this helmet better?

C'mon...this is funny!

The good news about this? It is not real, so I can laugh my head off...
