So glad to have your factual input with a conclusion--great information for us all. And gives us great hope...

🤮 I never said I was noble...

Agreed Jordan, and if it defines the Lanning era, it might be in how the team responded. I like what I saw at times, but other times I felt our offensive line missed more blocks than I would have liked going against a FCS team. But the vast majority of us saw a 20-24 point victory, not a 56 point spread. Thus they stepped forward in a great way. But I think a question does remain... Bo Nix's Picks: Can You Live With Them? FISHDUCK.COM Right now Oregon fans are almost swooning in a classic "honeymoon" phase with new head coach Dan Lanning before any games are played. To a degree...

Florida Duck! The actual game stats were: Oregon 70-14 for a 56 point spread, and Florida Duck predicted a 65-14 score for a 51 point spread and pretty darn close to the actual score. Log Haulin and Steven A. were close with a 46 point spread, but Florida Duck was pretty impressive! (No need for tiebreakers this week--whew!) That was fun, and look for it on Friday again of this week versus BYU. And look for Alan's Saturday Spoof to come out on Friday since the game is at 12:30 on Saturday, and I want you all to have a full day to enjoy his extraordinary article. Defensive analysis coming out on Thursday by yours-truly, and a week of great articles from the FishDuck Staff. Do have great fun reading all the Oregon football articles today in the Famous FishDuck Feed!

I agree with you, in that we love what we observed in the second game, but we still do not have a good reading on this team. As everyone has noted...the BYU game will tell us a ton more.

Good grief. Can somebody tell Ted Robinson after all these years of calling Oregon games, that it is not YOU-gene, but it is pronounced you-GENE with the accent on the second syllable? But I should not be surprised...a decade ago in 2012, when Mariota pulled the ball on a Zone Read he shouted, "Great fake!"

Here we are my friends, the thread for discussing the actual game as it happens. The vast majority of you are GREAT in this thread, but you must remember that this forum is different, as we like civilized discussion, and really don't want to read nonsense from other people. I have had to ban a few people in the past...simply because of this thread. They were fine during normal forum discussion, but turned into something ugly in this thread when things in the game did not go well. Posting negative is fine, but going dark on the entire program, the future of Oregon football, the IQ and tenure of Dan Lanning over one play, one decision or even one game is too far. Again, usual negative observations and opinions about the game are fine. No venting. Telling us you don't like the interception and adding some salt to it is fine, but hammering us many times in the thread about how stupid something is--will be deleted. This is a place to let go, but not vent. Can you tell the difference? When you write that Oregon is playing like crap, or sucks, etc....do you really think your astute observation is not already noticed by everyone else? When you are writing stuff like that...you are not adding comments or analysis, you are venting. Again....negative is fine! This is the hard part of moderating, and that is explaining how 95% of the negative written is just fine. What about being critical of the players/coaches? We can be critical of player performance and coaching decisions, but we cannot get personal on them. I really do want you all to have fun with this, and sorry for having to delve into it, but I know I need to spell this out for a few people. Now let's have some fun discussing this upcoming game of the Dan Lanning era!

Texas ATM losing to App. State at home...is an absolute riot.

I could have sworn I saw a rendition of this by USC fans toward Oregon recently....

Perfectly stated.

There was a Miami fan that I eventually banned because he refused to consider what we stated about Mari's style and game management. To him...we were missing out because of his recruiting, and we would regret the loss of Mari no matter what we said. He kept steering the conversation back to recruiting and would dismiss everything else. I told him to quit hijackings threads, and he then proceeded to lecture me by email, as if we did not know Cristobal. (Things did not go on much longer with that 'Cane fan)

Yes. EVERYBODY can edit their own post within an hour of putting it up. Click the three dots in the corner, and click on "Edit" and the original post appears. I would ask everybody to fix their title, to fix the continuous text and to tighten up the bottom of their post so people don't have to scroll so much. All these items I request as a courtesy to the good people of this forum...as they are doing for all of us. All the rules here are designed for the ease of the readers... Right now...we have moderators who will fix titles, capitalize them as they should be, and I've done a lot of that too. But I am not everyone's damn editing-maid, as I have enough to do with getting and keeping the sites up. (Good question Mic, and the above is not directed at you)

Southern Miss...what? For crying out loud folks...give us titles that tell the readers what the thread is about.

It is on the list to repair…

Is this hell? No, it's Eastern Washington. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! (For crying out loud guys....before you complain about the opponent--at least read Alan's amazing article first!)

My friends, you gotta wait a bit for the Tweet to load, but baby, try watching that--especially the end without your eyes glistening a touch.

This is a good article going over the pros and cons... Thank you Pennsylvania Duck!

And it's going to get even better...

I cannot imagine any insights better than this community has already covered, and I'd bet we have a few better than they do. (But I am highly biased!)

If you are interested--go up to the upper corner and click on the envelope and send a personal message (PM) to DucksWinTheDay to work it out.

Make it a "Yell-O" night!

Doggone it...there you go with those pesky facts again! As always--you make great points and I do appreciate the feedback.

Something most of us forget is...if you go with an inexperienced QB in Ty or Butters...you are trashing the season. They will make more costly mistakes than Nix as they go through their learning curve. Play them at garbage time and get them ready, but giving them the car keys is asking for a pile-up, IMHO. I would like see more the defensive scheme revealed, as we saw almost no blitzes...for pass or run last Saturday. We played base a ton, and the Bulldogs chewed it up.
