I get it. Completely crushed. But I am a loyal fan no matter what, and I do believe in Lanning over the long term. But he has been the master at having the team mentally ready, and this performance was so....not the norm for a team of his. I was surprised at that as much as losing as we did. This is going to take a while to get over, but I will still be here and keeping up with Our Beloved Ducks. It could be worse....just ask Beavis...

Bingo. I will admit that I did not understand why we were even recruiting him because 1) the QB room we already had, and 2) we will probably go to the portal for an experienced QB when Dante Moore's time has run out. (Since he appears to be who they are counting on)

Damn. A rough couple of days.

Completely agree, and add Evan Stewart and we have a fighting chance...

Holding the Dawgs to ten points? Whew!

BTW...their hatred of Michigan rivals ours with Washington. Our new friend above can be just as reasonable about CFB as we are, while holding intense disdain for the nearby B1G and legendary opponent.

Intravenus is a very rational fan, and my only complaint after talking to him is that he did not join us sooner. We want opposing fans to trade notes and thoughts with, as the future with the B1G is going to be quite a ride for us all. (Like tonight's game of No. 9 Oregon vs. No.22 Illinois on FS1 at 7:00 PM) I welcome ALL fans of other schools if they can follow our simple, yet extremely-difficult-rules-for-most-people in..."1) Be Polite and Respectful, 2) Do not tell anyone how to think or what to write, and 3) No Politics...not even the slightest hint of it." Reasonable people who just give their opinion and nothing about others' opinions are VERY welcome, as we have some class Georgia fans who visit here and we love. We allow and encourage different opinions, minority opinions, and as long as you follow what is above...we will all learn from each other, and it will be fun. C'mon....I KNOW there are tons of B1G fans reading this, as I see their IP addresses. Join us!

What? The season is over? We've been waiting for this part of the season for four months, and there is no more? I was caught off-guard, as I really thought this-was-our-year. I am numbed, bumping into walls, (yes, I'm sober now) and just adrift. I never thought the season would end so soon. Talk about the hole in your Duck Heart of what-might-have-been!

Today.

Not for me. Being No. 1 and winning 13 games doesn't suck. Just ask Oregon State.

Gotta love these fans. Almost never post unless...

The only way to compete with Ohio State, is to have as many 5-Star players as they have.

Everyone can state their opinion here without personal backlash, even if we disagree with your thoughts. Funny how I never see some OBD members post until we lose...

Look this was a nice little run. Not bad for a No. 9 in the nation BASKETBALL School!

I am not as mature as the rest of you. I need some time to heal...

The mark of a champion is consistency, you know, like 13-0? Will Ohio State continue to play as they did today? Not betting on it.

Evan Stewart was injured in the Pre-Game Warmup apparently... I am locking this GameDay thread, and we can discuss on the main page.

Ducks Lose 41-21 and the 'Natty dream dies...

I've waited ALL DAY for this time in the game. It's past 5:00 PM!

Which is worse? Only scoring seven in a half or giving up 34?

The only way I thought we could win this time is with an explosive passing game centered around throwing deep to Evan Stewart often to open everything else up. Stewart is not playing, and Justius Lowe is in his place.

Remember everyone....discussing negative is FINE, as that is what we do on a forum. But in case things don't go well...we do not allow people to VENT on us, or have a meltdown. There is a big difference between discussing negative, which is fine versus Venting/Melting down. My thanks. (Nobody has done anything wrong, but I am just reminding everyone in case)

Penn State played last when we did and did fine...
