Isn’t this very similar to what you’ve already posted a couple of times? All roughly the same and you haven’t been on the site even two weeks? We GOT it. Don’t come here just to vent…

Oh Annie...you have no idea how well you nailed it. A fellow got steamed at me a year and a half ago and stormed out of the first version of the forum. I realized that I was rude to him, (this was before I really had the rules solidly in place) and apologized to him--but he was going to punish me, and leave. (Now how does that work again?) I heard from him recently and he was clearly looking for another apology and an opening to return. I graciously apologized again, and invited him back. So what did he do? His first post was effectively venting his frustration over the two games lost. An over-the-top post that just made me shake my head, and respond with something to help put things into perspective. He then put up a maligning, attacking post at yours-truly, and I deleted the post and banned him. He just wanted a pool to pee in, and my experience has shown that if someone operates like that up-front, then I will continue to have trouble with this person who has no consideration for our community and civilized discussion. Had not heard from him all this time until now, and your Reverse Bandwagon Fan description is perfect. I will borrow the term and give attribution credit to you. Thanks! We have nice people here...

Oregon knows that answer from last year--ouch, ouch, ouch! Congrats so much to the Utes, and the great Utah fans who come to OBD forum. You deserve it!

Some aren't unless the Ducks win enough. A ton of people will not read about the Ducks anymore because of how two games went. How loyal is that?

It goes to show how it was all lined up for Oregon to make the Playoff, but for a few decisions. (or one)

OK....now THAT is worth hanging onto. Perfect!

The first time Oregon ran it against Washington was wide open for a 10 yard touchdown. But is a third time a smart call? How many times did Chip run it again that game...I wonder? And yes, if you are a dynamic OC...you should not have to run your QB between the tackles ever, except for QB sneaks, IMHO. Too much risk, as Oregon proved my point. Let's not malign people for a difference of opinion; in fact you or anyone are welcome to write articles...we need more writers!

Another interesting take on being an Oregon fan.... Oregon Fan Loyalty: "Is Our Way the BEST WAY?" FISHDUCK.COM In this off-season I am pondering the Oregon fan more than I am the Oregon football team. In order to build a forum (which will be released in the next month)...

With what I've seen posted in the last week or so...pondering the existence of a "real" Oregon fan is worth contemplating....right? FishDuck Ponders the Loyalty of Oregon Fans ... FISHDUCK.COM Charles Fischer presents an plausible alternate reality that challenges Oregon fans over their loyalty to the team under all conditions. And this was four years ago?

He's 48...isn't that way too old? (Tongue-in-Cheek)

Remember...Dilly is not here anymore. (Rule No. 26) If Utah can beat USC... Lanning Plays With Fire, Duck Fans Get Burned FISHDUCK.COM I should have written this article a month ago when I first felt strongly about it, but at the time I did not want to be a buzz-kill for Oregon fans.

For crying out loud...you write a thread about a game without the score and when?

Perhaps you missed what I wrote; they have already decided, and are STAYING.

The best OC Dilly could hire who is young, but needs more tempering is himself... Wouldn't it be a hoot if the ASU offense was "iffy" under a head coach who was known for offense? (Is this a hire that Mike Bellotti would make? NO.)

It was published on a pay-site over a day ago, so after waiting a respectable 26 hours...I will share that Dilly was trying to entice Adrian Klemm, Demetrice Martin, Tony Tuioti and Joe Lorig to Tempe. But they all have decided to stay at Oregon! Whew! Lanning and Lorig exult at the end of the UCLA game...

Taking a quick lunch break at work to write this and dash... I will admit that I am not into Volleyball, and the Women at Oregon started out slow, but caught fire. They have won 13 straight matches, and if they win two this weekend in the first round of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament at Matt Knight Arena--they would tie the longest winning streak in program history. They are ranked No. 9 in one poll, and No. 13 in another and are a No. 3 seed in their bracket. The Ducks are an impressive 23-5 and went 17-3 in the always-tough Pac-12 for a program record for most conference wins. In fact the winning percentage of 86.2% is the best since the 2012 team that played for the National title. Oregon hosts the first two rounds with the first match tonight at 7:00 PM vs. Loyola Marymount with the winner playing Saturday at 4:00 PM against the winner of the No. 6 seed Arkansas or Utah State. Let's go Ducks!

Dazed and I covered this a long time ago. We were not putting pressure rushing five and six on Eastern Washington, and I believe at that point is when Lanning decided to go with higher percentage with simulated pressures and primarily Cover-2. You can rush, but if you don't have the talent, then you get eaten alive in explosion plays. Lanning looked better when he had Georgia talent...right? But hey...we'll go over again a few times. Circa 2012: Lanning Replicates Bend-But-Don’t-Break Defense FISHDUCK.COM Duck fans, sometimes two heads are better than one, and amazing minds tend to think alike. It appears Oregon’s head coach Dan Lanning has concluded that the...

He regressed in the last year, and saw the numbers of edge rushers verbally committed to Oregon, and yet Lanning is pursuing some more big names yet. Not a surprise to me; we tried a 3-Star who did not work out, so now we take that scholarship and see if someone else does. It is a numbers game.... Oh my...or maybe Oregon is going into the crapper? (Tongue-in-cheek)

Fun read, and great documentation David. Thanks!

What an incredible article from a great Oregon fan. Thanks so much Drex.

Then don’t. No sweat!

Good gosh, I did not know about a few of these guys, and great research! Pretty great candidates!

This is a great candidate. At minimum, he is great for our photographers with his hair... Wait a minute....doesn't he look like....
