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...

There was even the possibility of two Pac-12 teams in the Playoff if the right things happen. Louisville beats Florida State, and Oregon beats Washington. It was suggested that Washington's resume would be better than Texas or Ohio State? That would be a cool finish to the Pac-12...

The Athletic just had an article with 16 different scenarios with different teams winning. In fact that fellow thinks that Ohio State will be No. 5 this week, and Oregon passes them the next week if we beat the Huskies. There were EIGHT different scenarios that put Oregon at No. 3 in the Playoff if they win. All eight with Oregon winning had them moving past No. 4! Just to be having these discussions....

Oregon has been ranked ahead of Texas all season, so if Ohio State, Alabama or Texas are ranked ahead of Oregon? Not good going into the final week. As it sits now--we are projected to be No. 5, and if we then beat No. 3 Washington--we are in. And I'd love to take their No. 3 Seed, because I'd like to play and beat Michigan, and THEN face that formidable Georgia team. Stay at No. 5 this week! Beat the damn Huskies!
