Does this happen at USC? One of the nations best running backs is getting his a$$ chewed, and he is listening to Coach Locklyn. What a sharp image for an incredible moment...

The only time in two seasons that I've caught Bo on the field with a smile. (After his fantastic pooch-punt)

My Duck-Buddies, something I do for the FishDuck writers--is capture screenshots of the game for use in FishDuck articles. I can often capture images that our photographers do not, and if not utilized for articles--I can use them for posts in the forum. It is quite a arduous and complicated process for the conversion process than often has unforeseen glitches--like one today. As I watch the game, I must take note of where the event is in the game, what it is, and why I need an image of it. To capture the image--I am often going over it many times to time it just right to get the precise moment. Doing the WSU game took me five hours... The different stations that televise Oregon games have different levels of technology, hence the sharpness of image--number of pixels, etc. Bottom line, (and no surprise) that an ESPN or Fox telecast has better quality images than the Pac-12 Network does. It is hard with the latter to even have still images that don't have some blur... But this last ABC/ESPN telecast had terrific crispness in their images. Normally I share these throughout the year in posts, and with the FishDuck writers for use in article, but I thought I'd share a few with my own captions. I hope you enjoy them as much as I... Oregon fans are normal and completely rational....right?

I will explain in another thread, but I captured a screenshot of the play with my own caption below it... No. 8? It sucks to be you...

Look, I saw it in real-time, but also saw the block by Ferguson that was actually much more consequential for the success of Bucky's TD reception. But I gotta love what I see here... Geoff does a great job reviewing the play...

Dan knows the way.....

It certainly is not. Especially when you made me laugh-out-loud. Love you guys...

Me neither. Until Saturday!

How would I know? Ask them, as it is the way they do it!

But you have to admit, with the way he operates, he is the perfect matchup for the University of Spoiled Children! He is truly one of them!

My Duck-Buddies...these are already in an article posted on another thread, but I wanted to single them out for discussion--which is something I encourage everyone to do when they see something they want to comment on. It is one thing for Coach Dan Lanning to say he is aggressive, or the team is espouse it...or even for the media to claim it--but it is another to hear it from the opposing coach. For me, all these tidbits add up to learning more about what Lanning is building at Oregon and how he wishes to play. Doesn't it make you reflect on his 4th down choices when reading what is below? I know it did for me... (I have inserted what he is referring to at times) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Washington State Head Coach Jake Dickert: "I just want to start out by saying that's a heck of a football team that we just competed against, obviously they've proven the first seven weeks, eight weeks of the season that they're one of the best teams in the country." "...we just didn't match their physicality at times and didn't make some plays when we had some opportunities. It's a credit to them and what they're doing..." "I think in the second half it (the WSU pass protection) started to get a little bit leaky, he did more of those scramble plays. We (Cam) were off target and timing was a little bit. Give credit to them. like I said, they roll in 18 guys up front, they keep attacking you. We were ok in some off-script plays, and did an average job of establishing the run when we did run the football. I think the bigger moments is they won some key four, and we had some opportunities late in the second half. Credit to them, but I like where we were offensively, had some explosive plays, but they kept us off balance up front in the second half.” This is two years in a row of almost giving up 10 yards per play to this team. And they're good, . I thought they stayed ahead of us in the run game.” “We knew if we could come into the game and find a way to get them to turn over the ball, which they don't do, and protect the ball, that we could gain an advantage. We knew we'd have to stop them a little bit with a fumble or interception and that was going to be part of the plan defensively to try to get the ball back. There's never really an opportunity there to go do that." "I think early on, they came out and tried to attack the system pass game. I think we managed that well, we had some really good red-zone stops and then they came out and said, Hey, let's get physical with them. And I don't know if we responded to it, as well as we're capable of and being as fit conscious as we were. Some of those were untouched runs, and you know, we can't have that against a really good opponent. Some of them were those making our guys miss." "Oregon’s Oregon and they’re comfortable with their game plan and they’re more of an attacking style. In that first half we walked in and said man that was a heck of a job in protection. I felt that way across the board. Clean pockets, I mean, we were picking their stuff up and I thought they leaned on us a little bit as that game went and that was probably the shift in the second half." "But you know, they didn't do a whole lot of three-down drop eight, that's not their style, it's not their nature. They played within themselves, and besides a couple of new pressures that got us on the fourth down and got us early on in the third down. We felt like they were pretty consistent with how they attacked a lot of people."

The KING of the one-liners. We love you Steven A.!

Oh, I do. Everybody was screaming from the stands the plays in advance.... Not that I would notice that kind of thing...

Now THAT is a great first post. Welcome to the forum, and do post often--especially if there is humor!

Trojan tears sweeten my coffee...

....but I never said I was noble.

A touchdown was denied ASU because the back judge could not see the holding of the jersey in two places by the UW DB on the ASU receiver. ASU went for it on 4th down and failed... Like the ball on the ground by a Husky receiver against us that was counted as a catch and was crucial in one of their drives. They are getting the key calls or ignored calls that change games...
