  1. This was a 4th down play at the goal line just before halftime that was stuffed in the National Championship game of 2010. Had he gone outside as the play was designed for--we score and change the game. He went inside...(orange line) And if the QB pulled and went left--I think he would have scored as well. The coaches can draw up the play, but the players need to execute. (And Dyer was down)
  2. That was funny and accurate!
  3. This is a great start for DazeNconfused, and you can look to many more articles from him in the near future. Great to have him as a FishDuck writer--welcome!
  4. The only solution I see to that is pouring the same amount of money into football that the B1G/SEC teams do, but that means we have to cut sports. We would go from 19 sports...way down. It would be the only way to stay competitive in football I believe, and boy will our travel costs go up!
  5. Alabama, Georgia and Oregon! In pretty good company... No more lovefest?
  6. This is BIG, BIG, BIG! Between him and Cole Martin...we have two really good lock-down Rivals 4-Star corners in this class! He was offered by Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA, USC and Washington! (He is from Washington Power program Rainer Beach! Whew!) He might end up being the best of this class...
  7. Let's not make any further references in this thread to politics please, as it will just start a forest fire. Thanks to all.
  8. There is a ton of very good information here....how much we lost when the LA schools left, why we will never partner with Boise State, and where Oregon is trying to go. And yes...Phil is active helping us!
  9. Thank you, as that means a lot to me. I am very fortunate that so other great people wanted to join me in forming a community based upon civility and kindness toward each other. We debate the topic and not go after each other... My thanks again.
  10. So supremely written that transmits our feelings of betrayal like no other. Thank you for the humor and the catharsis. (Part of the healing!) It seemed like a good idea, but the LA schools may find B1G is not a good fit...
  11. Smile through those tears! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! And so true...

  12. ICamel…Lois drinks Coors, and I’m having a Widmer Hefeweizen from Portland. Good times!
  13. What I'm doing right now... If it is not the best Bar-B-Que Chicken you've ever had ....it will be in your Top-3!
  14. Think of it....Lanning is going to completely do what he wants, without Kirby's control. Between him and Dillingham...we might just have quite the compelling story no matter where we go!
  15. And OBD will be here no matter the outcome, to remain a GREEN REFUGE. Amen, Duck Brother.
  16. You spin it in your head as you need, as I will do in mine. That is my fantasy, and I'm sticking to it.
  17. This shouts for the "Shameless Beggar" to appear, and here I am! To help pay these costs...go to this page, scroll down to the bottom and click on the "Donate" button. Everyone here thanks you!
  18. Those babies have degraded badly; I've got to convert them to digital!
  19. Look....I am a muttering mass of protoplasm at times talking about this. And I really think I've gone through the stages of grief for the Pac-12, and have come to "acceptance." This is my own spin, the mind games I apply internally to retain sanity as an Oregon fan... "I will make the best of whatever happens. If we go to the B1G...then the travel sucks, we won't win as many games, but we will have more prestige and money to stay relevant for the top recruits. If we go to the Big-Pac, then the travel sucks and it is not one of the Super-Conferences, but we have a chance to win more games and still have an impact on the national discussion." In other words... "It is good-or-good." (Or I will make it that way internally) Are you there yet? No, I'm still not feeling quite myself yet...
  20. I am grateful to have writers like you who love to ponder Our Beloved Ducks as I do, and boy will we have a ton to consider in the future!
  21. I wanted to announce the new "About Us" link at the top of the site, since most here do not know the history of the two sites. Thank you Jordan for this very kind article, and thanks to all for their wonderful words on my 66th birthday today.
  22. I brought this over from another site and appreciate the homework the fellow did...and how about that? With all of the realignment discussion, I decided to gather viewership history for the PAC 12 going back to 2012. These numbers are what I believe will drive the realignment discussion, and Oregon clearly brings the value with the highest average viewership in the PAC-12. 10 Year Average Oregon 3,355,620 USC 2,898,676 Stanford 2,537,460 Washington 2,168,508 UCLA 1,983,096 Utah 1,711,963 Washington State 1,586,624 Arizona State 1,476,621 CAL 1,455,353 Arizona 1,323,943 Colorado 1,316,262 Oregon State 1,266,235 Full Data can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mmhVtiVAzkxbDtGoo1iGBVKpGs2wLkfd8tIXX4y01Os/edit?usp=sharing Information was sourced from here: https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/
  23. Awesome article, thanks. But when you talk about travel...if we merge with the Big-12....have you ever flown to Houston?
