Right. It is crazy with a dozen for one position? Two at most needed in an obvious passing situations? This is called, "finding out who can play?" There will be huge fallout in this position over the next year... And it will show veterans that they better play hard every down.

It was coaching as well, IMHO. But I do believe that this is a three-year install, with it coming together in the mid-2024 season. This year will be an improvement, while late 2024 will be the beginning of something special in defense at Oregon. 2024 is my fantasy defense, and I'm sticking to it!

If Riley were to take the NFL job, (which he might to get out of HS recruiting, portal recruiting, and recruiting his own guys to stay) then all the current signees to the USC 2023 class could opt out...and Oregon could benefit! At minimum it would help us immediately with speedster Rodrick Pleasant, and 5-Stars Duce Robinson and Nyckoles Harbor. Duce Robinson

Watching that meltdown?

Gotta feel for USC fans?

Look, I thought Grinch was awesome at WSU for Mike Leach...but the wolves are howling down there! USC Fans React: "If the defense is terrible again the whole blame will shift to Riley." "Let’s hope we get Oregon State Grinch and not back half of the season Grinch. No excuses next season because looking like he will actually have some dudes." "Can we make this thread the official "I NEED TO RAGE POST AND TROLL THREAD," and merge any future anti-Grinch posts here so that the 50 year old men-children have a place to play?" "The program isn't committed to winning national titles like we were told they were. That is disappointing." "Just another B12 team." "Championship talk is hollow from Riley. Penix gonna hang 80 on us lol." Gotta love it!

Some of the guys returning are going to need to step up their game...which is what Lanning wanted. He knows we needed D-Line depth badly and went out and got some great transfers last year, and now is building on it.

Unbelievable. This helps Oregon in so many ways...our growing image being one, and what Lanning is building. Whew!

I have so many cool photos from the FishDuck photographers...it was time anyway. There is an idea....provide a batch of photos for OBD members to be able to download and use as a background/screensaver on their screen?

A point mentioned on other sites is that often a scholar will not want to get their Ph.D and their Masters at the same university? I don't know anything about that, and those of you in academia or retired from it can tell us better. And I withdraw my comment about it being about NIL; I was disappointed and hot-headed. Not fair to slap something on him when I know no details. This was the screensaver on my home computer....guess I have to change it!

I am very disappointed with this...you put all this time and money into a player and he leaves after this first good year? This must be an NIL thing...

The background photo that those who have desktop or laptop can see has Cota celebrating after catching the winning touchdown in the Holiday Bowl. Look who is circled, (Justin Herbert) and pointed to by the arrow. (Phil Knight) Kind of cool the photographer caught that...

Again, as referenced in the recent article about trimming the roster to 85, I believe that in this first year, Lanning simply did not want to be too rigid and tough on the players as he needed to first build the relationships and build cohesiveness. But I believe he will be demanding that of the future when he has a full roster that is primarily four and five star players. Then we will see players transfer out, and those who remain will be disciplined and tough.

As a side note to you all.... As you know, I include links to gambling sites because I get paid to do so, and like the advertising--helps pay the bills to keep both sites going. Today's article has a link to a site in India? Now this is not advertising, but placed inside for SEO purposes. And when Oregon loses a game,...the writers cannot use a picture from a losing game, as it will take the reader away to thinking about the game. I never thought I'd have a use for our Georgia pictures again beyond the first week, but they fit the topic of the article and I happened to find pictures that matched up with what I was writing. And they will probably never be used again from that game!

It is a highly understated point, as Dazed and I were talking, (he can't post due to a computer issue) and he pondered out loud, "if Lanning stayed here and worked hard....what would Oregon look like in his sixth or seventh year?" I would like to think we would be a perennial Top-Five. (An Elite)

It is then available to use by someone new by HS or portal.

Gotta love seeing Justin Herbert in a commercial for a bank… We love our Ducks!

Here we are my friends, the thread for discussing the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! The vast majority of you are GREAT in these GameDay threads, but you must remember that this forum is different, as we require civilized discussion. Rule No. 31d covers GameDay thread conduct, and it is not hard for the vast majority of us--just a tiny few who need to reign it in. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

What is interesting is how our points per game declined from an average of 43 points for the decade before Cristobal, and he brought it down to the 33 point per game average...where is roughly Diaz was when Mario took over. But boy...Mario could sure run that scoring down even further to 23 points per game? It was worse than I thought...yikes! The good ol' days...

Why Do I Allow Continued Discussion about Mario Cristobal? 1) Because it is fun. 2) Because it is entertaining. 3) Because it makes me grateful-as-hell that he is no longer here. I never said I was noble...

I believe they can do that, and it will also happen with portal transfers who don't work out. They will take a scholarship and focus on school.

His best move, considering all elements, was to move to a lower level school where he could start for certain, be a star and create stats. He will play as much with the 'Vols, as he did here IMHO. (I believe the problem was not with his talent, because he had the talent to beat out Chase Cota easily as starter. If he could not beat out Cota...)

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction for tonight's National Championship Game? 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 TCU creates --the number of sacks Georgia records on TCU --the number of passing yards by the Bulldogs. My prediction is: Georgia 34-27, 2 3 287

While I do like an underdog, the Georgia fans have been complete class on this site and I will cheer them. There are quite a few tactic items I will be watching tonight on both sides, and it should be dandy. I'm thinking I will start a 'Natty Game-Thread for those who want to be a part of it as well. \

A couple of things: -He may just be NIL and not on scholarship. -He had very high marks on Special Teams, and Oregon’s coverage units…need help. -We are thin at linebacker, and he is the faster prototype we are moving to, as previously mentioned above. -He is not expected to be a starter, but he was in on passing situations often for ASU. -He helps us in two areas.
