Alex! Great to have you writing every week for football season! I believe the tight pass coverage we saw in the Spring Game will show again versus the Red Raiders. They like to throw quickly, which prevents sacks, but if Oregon can cover well early in the play-the turnovers you wrote about can happen. Like you, I want to see a dominant running game, and I would like to think that the 2023 offensive line is now going to turn heads.

What I love about your explanation of Bucky's long run against North Carolina is--how hard it is to see the cut-back lanes before they materialize...and how he is doing that in milliseconds. Hard to teach! His jump-cut (Saturday) away from hole after he sucked in the PSU linebacker and then exploded outside was epic stuff. So fast! Thanks David!

My Duck-Buddies, you may notice at times of how your post has been changed. We are not everyone's editing maids, and we ask you to observe these requests below to help everyone here, and to help this forum flourish. Most new people find this forum by searching for an Oregon message board/forum on a search engine, mostly Google. So we need to make Google happy to suggest this forum when people are searching for forums, or for a particular topic. 1. Capitalize every letter in the title of a new thread please, except for the inconsequential words such as, " the, and, as, or, etc." Google will suggest one article over another simply due to looking more professional with the capitalization. 2. Tell the readers in your title what the thread is about, please. Don't give us a three word title, and make us figure it out. People won't open a thread unless they know what is in it, and Google won't suggest a nebulous title either. Everyone wants certainty, so please tell us in the title what your thread/post is about, please. 3. After every three sentences, or maximum four sentences....hit the "Enter" key twice on PC, or "Return" key twice on Mac. Reading continuous text is hard on all the old eyes on this site, and people see continuous text and ignore it. If you want your post read--give us spaces after every three or four sentences please. 4. Please don't have a massive space at the bottom of your post. After your post goes up--go check it. If there is a big space on the bottom, click the three dots in upper right, click on "Edit" and then put your cursor at the bottom of the post and backspace it up, please. Easy-peasy, and takes 20 seconds, if that. This will reduce the time spent for everyone in scrolling... We all have up to an hour after we put our post up to go back and edit it. So check it, and edit it! Why am I asking for all of this? These are courtesies that your fellow OBD members are already doing for you--so please extend the courtesy back in return. If we do things the way Google wants for their search engine--then more good people like you will find us, and join our community.

I know a couple of Red Raider fans, and they taught me to, 'Get your Guns Up." Passionate fans, and good people....just like the community here on the OBD forum.

Ty could not hit a slant pattern for two years if his life depended upon it. Now he hits WRs in stride? Will Stein....

Everything Dan Lanning said Monday of Texas Tech week 247SPORTS.COM Below is a complete transcript of everything Dan Lanning said from his Monday press conference.

This is the 23rd verbal for the 2024 class which is now the 3rd best ever class at Oregon. (Lanning had the No. 2 class last year with 16 of the 4/5-Star players on Rivals) Platt makes the 15th player who is 4 or 5-Stars on Rivals, with a long ways to go before December signing date. Will Lanning pass the all-time record of 19? This moves the Ducks up to No. 7 in the nation at Rivals. Whew! 2024 Oregon Ducks football commitment list OREGON.RIVALS.COM The definitive source for all Oregon news.

What is amazing is that we had a real idiot, a bonehead of a writer at FishDuck who actually interviewed Ken Goe in the past! So What HAPPENED to Oregon Track? FISHDUCK.COM Charles Fischer of FishDuck.com interviews Ken Goe of OregonLive to discuss what happened to Oregon Track and Field this past year and what the future holds.

Right. I'm up in the stands watching a game, and yet I'm supposed to keep track of where the offensive coordinator is? I stated in the top post that I learned this from watching the game replay, and no--they did not show him on the sideline after that...so how would I know?

Accusing us of cheating? Do they ever...

How would I know any of that?

Good gosh, I forgot all about it! Sorry for the delay as LB48 wins with his 70-10 prediction that was much closer than than most of us! Congrats, and let's have fun with this again on Saturday morning!

Thank you. It is not foolproof, but it is telling the vast majority of the time when applied to players, coaches, and my experiences in the work-world. The other part of it that is equally crucial to me? When Weakness Emerges Early--it never turns into Greatness. You put a ton of time into this person to elevate this person to just average, or below average. Better to put the time into finding a winner who performs out of the gate.

As if we did not have enough surprises from Stein: 1. Recruited three 4-Star QBs already. 2. Unleashed an offensive titan with tons of weapons. 3. Revealed a new Ty Thompson--so very welcome. 4. Calls plays from the sideline. What else has he got up his sleeve? Another great hire by Lanning?

Agreed. What we saw from Ty is unlike anything compared to the last two years, and it was startling. When you consider how Stein has recruited three 4-Star QBs before he had even called a play for us, the offense we saw, and now the improvement in Ty? Will Stein be the best OC ever at Oregon? "Greatness and Weakness Emerge Early," and thus I love what we have seen thus far!

Seeing the stats lined up like that makes the game that much more impressive. Probably the biggest impression most of us received were all the weapons Oregon has on offense--more than we thought and Coach Stein is using them! Thanks Jordan.

That is the one I skipped. Thanks for the heads-up. As for the Beavers....

I can't make this up... Too funny!

I've been a good sport reading John Canzano, as I would read his takes on Oregon, the conference, and would hold my nose and read his columns on Oregon State. But now his OSU articles come to my inbox, and I am just "meh" about them. Part of it is their petty, immature blaming of Oregon for their mess, but part of it also is....they are a future Mountain West team. I have as much interest in that as I do in Utah State, San Jose State, etc. I am just not interested in what those in orange are into...

Right. A bunch of offensive analysts, but still--it is harder on the field. When you have a newbie QB--I get it. But with Bo?

After watching the game, I just about choked when I saw him on the sideline in a huddle with the offense. He’s not up in the booth! Can you really see everything and plan it best that way? I recognize they all have their own style, but this was a pretty big surprise to me. In the end, it’s all about results, and if that’s the way, he wants to do it…

Our fellow Duck-Buddy, Jon Joseph, pointed out in another thread the low scoring and boring offenses of the B1G this last weekend. What if....?? Oregon and USC come into that conference and simply outscores everyone, and leads the damn thing from the get-go? How would that go over in the Midwest? (Would Fox heads explode?) Fun to Ponder? Not if you are in the B1G!

Holy Crap...what a great post.

"The Ducks played an outsized role in blowing up the Pac-12 Conference a month ago by fleeing for the Big Ten. The abrupt move, jointly made by Oregon and Washington, was a grab for more prestige and television money at the expense of a century of tradition and West Coast collegiality." Sounds like another lamenting loser blaming Oregon for the Beavers demise. Nothing about Oregon State management over the years, nothing about how their lack of brand and following is THEIR fault? "If you don't sit at the table....then you will be on the menu."

Again...we have been discussing this for the past year. First, it is being hinted that Autzen will be upgraded in the near future to handle more seating, and that if donated by private donors and from the season ticket holders like myself--(charged 1,500 last time) that extra revenue for the athletic department will come from the B1G connection, and thus we would have the seating to handle big Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State fan bases. And to repeat; this is not about stadium size when discussing the media contracts, Mic. These are two different things, and the primary driver of TV is actual eyeballs on the set and Oregon is one of the best at attracting those eyeballs. Come 2024....our audience will REALLY grow with all the B1G fans who are curious and want to watch/scout Oregon on TV. This forum will also have many new members from B1G teams who will be very welcome, if they are anything like the good people we have had here already. The Big-12 people wore out their welcome, and many were banned...
