Got to love it, as yep...it makes the CFB world go-round. Who do I root for in the ACC? Whoever is playing Miami...

I love that word...so rarely used and so accurate in reference to the NCAA. Another rarely used word that I love...."belay." (Bear with me, as we are all weird in our own way!)

Dan....I have enough to watch for, and making everything nice for recruits or coaches is not one of them. You must be new because we state often that we want all views, and negative is fine because....that is what forums are for. We can be critical of player performance and coaching decisions, but we cannot get personal toward a current player or coach. And coaches and recruits usually know well enough to stay away from these forums as they know what they will see. One of the things they will see is incredible passion for Our Beloved Ducks... Note: Dan and I have chatted, and he is another example of the well-meaning good people in this community.

Ok...now that is funny. And the language is acceptable for this crowd...

I have known MaiTaiDuck for years and love him dearly. But as we all do on occasion...he made a mistake. But the biggest difference between him and the people I was haggling with yesterday by email, and on the phone is...MaiTaiDuck values what we have here and has been a gentleman in his response. He demonstrated real class that the two people I banned yesterday did not have.... (A second day of banning a pair!) Most everyone here are wonderful, and MaiTaiDuck is an example of a stand-up guy. Thanks also to Haywarduck, as he was very kind... Now we move forward, forget about it and talk some Ducks!

He was a GA at Oregon, so they know him well. Below is an article with more information about him, and it sounds great. REPORT: Oregon Bringing Back Former GA for Analyst Role by Matt Prehm of Duck Territory 247

This is a very big development for a defensive line that is already thin on experience. He will not be in the bowl, but he will be back for Spring Football and the fall. Oregon NT Popo Aumavae Set to Return to Ducks for 2022 Season by Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire

Sounds good; as long as you follow our rules...you are quite welcome and that was a nice first post. Do read the personal message sent (In upper right corner, a red circle over the envelope symbol) and do share your thoughts.

Good stuff, Log Haulin...thanks!

Looks like some smoke, and it will fun to learn more about him... Key Ole Miss Assistant Emerges as Top Target at Oregon for Same Role, per Report by SDS Staff at SaturdaydownSouth

Thank you. We are not perfect, and in fact will stumble on occasion, but we have established a foundation that works and we will strive to keep it going!

Hello My OBD Forum Friends! This is the last game for eight months, so let's enjoy all we can! Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Lets get these predictions started and remember I look for the spread with then the closest score that has the spread correct. The data I need from you is: (entries without all the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count as I am not going to hunt them all down) --the winner --the score, and the tiebreaker information needed from each of you is... --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards. My guess is: Oklahoma 34-20, 1, 1, 221 (C'mon Anthony Brown...have a GREAT GAME!)

While I fear the changes that are indeed coming? I plan to soak up as much of the current "era" as I can. While what you describe is never returning....the same is true with what we are experiencing right now. Who knows what it will be like in just three years from now? So let's enjoy the next three years!

That is a cool look...clean and fast! (And THANKS for posting it!)

Precisely. At the beginning of the season....they are fun, but now...."blah-blah."

(Press Release from Oregon Athletics) EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon’s game vs. Colorado initially scheduled for Dec. 30 has been rescheduled for Monday, Jan. 3 at 7:00 p.m. in Matthew Knight Arena. The contest will be televised on Pac-12 Network.

Thanks, as I am developing a more rounded set of goals for the forum: 1) provide a safe place to post 2) post the news pertaining to Oregon sports 3) Entertainment...such as humor and interesting off-topic areas such as the weather thread, Christmas decorations, etc. Just trying to do my part with the entertainment component! Everybody can contribute in all the areas!

My FishDuck Friends....you may have noticed that quite a few articles are not posted here, because I am looking for more than the typical coach-speak you see before the games. So many times I pass on an article because the title was good, but the content was just nonsense to justify publishing something. Many former FishDuck writers would get angry at me for busting them on writing, "blah-blah," and they knew I was right. After all...I'm a writer too and know "filler-text" when I see it. Besides, there are other things I'd rather watch...

I really thought we were going to get our butts-kicked in Columbus...but the team surprised me. I thought UCLA was run over us with a 17 point spread...wrong again. And I thought we would lose to the Beavers by 10, so either this means that the Ducks really do have a chance against the Sooners, or.... I should not ever get into sports betting! Sometimes you can put up a good show, but it still doesn't go well...

You gotta love reading this... "Sorry, Mario, but this seems like karma." Oregon Football: Dan Lanning Already Winning Battles vs. Mario Cristobal by Connor Muldowney of Autzen Zoo

Amen. It is not often we disagree, but I love how we all can do so with each other without it getting personal.

This is terrible! I would hope the coaches refer to these stats, but I'm sure every player "knows" he is much better than Oregon is recognizing.

Completely agree, as that is what I call "Critical Analysis," to give credit where due, and grief when deserved. It is not being "spoiled;" it is holding the team/coach/player accountable to a standard of excellence already set.
