And yet they worked wonderfully vs. USC. (I watched the game again the other day) We don't remember the ones that worked...

From Canzano: "People keep asking me if Utah coach Kyle Whittingham would pop up as a candidate at Michigan. Not happening. His retirement is actually a retirement. Whittingham’s last contract extension at Utah didn’t just include a raise — it got him a $1 million retirement bonus, and a promise of free tuition for his grandchildren."

Reported by The Athletic... (Above) You never know because coaches have egos...even Whittingham. "What if I had a fully stocked program? Create a legendary defense, and explosive offense for five years...and show everyone how good I really was?"

Let's see...we lost one game last year, and I certainly don't think we can blame that all on the offense! In our one loss this year...we had receivers open--the plays worked, but the QB could not deliver. Dilly was good...Stein was good.

Great article David, and I forgot about the expanded number of officials visits, and how that helps us enormously. How many coaches double, and triple-down on "I'm not leaving" as Lanning has. I agree that in a very unstable business--hearing that is certainly another recruiting advantage.

Getting ONE back of the three would make all the difference in the Playoffs.

That is the first men’s championship in any sport Washington has won in over 130 years of competing. And it takes away my favorite declaration of, “they don’t make championship caliber men in Seattle!”

Now we can insert video shorts!

It looks like we can insert video shorts without them blowing up into a huge size as before...

I think they will come storming back--like last year. And Jon....your word-play is so MUCH fun!

So much I could say....let's just say that Eugene/Oregon is....unique. The video is funny, but it does carry out all the narratives to the extreme. The Man-Bun was a nice touch...

We have two tickets available for the JMU game that are section 32 Club Level, row 57, seats 9 & 10 that are covered. They also include a pass to the club level only concessions, clean bathrooms, and free popcorn for these club level tickets only. The Club-Level Only is a heated area, with massive big screen TVs for if you want to go inside to warm up, and both inside and outside are available to you. The tickets are $400.00 each, offered to this community, because they are listed for $700.00 each on Ticketmaster. (He is just trying to break even between ticket cost and processing) I personally know this fellow quite well, and he is a great guy and huge Duck fan. You would find that out, as you will be sitting next him with these tickets. Call Mike at 214-632-6230 to make the arrangements, as these tickets provide a unique experience at Autzen.

Huskies cruise in the second half winning 38-10.

It's not FOREVER, it will just SEEM that way...

I wish people would give a score when they post for everyone else... 24-3 Washington at half, as the Huskies look MUCH more talented than Boise State in the trenches, and also with the skill people. Run blocking against the Broncos is much easier than against Oregon, and Husky receivers are getting open easily compared to a few weeks ago vs. OBD. Washington defenders are overwhelming BSU at times, and the talent difference was quite a surprise to me. Damn...Fisch is going to have NINE wins in just his second year? Pretty impressive considering the tire-fire he got handled to him... Put Some Ears on Him and He Kinda Looks Like a RAT?

Problem is....we won't know if Dante is leaving until after the CFB Playoffs, but the portal closes before then and many of the top portal QBs will have already decided. It could put us in a tough spot....

I'll bet Poncho made Bear better in practice, and vice-versa.

This is a "good-or-good" kind of game for me. If the Huskies win? Good for the Big-10, but if Washington loses? Good!

And....I have just confirmed that FishDuck.com and the Our Beloved Ducks forum will have two photographers on Rich Brooks Field for our first home Playoff game, and will have former local TV Sports News Anchor Mike Ostrom reporting for us up in the Press Box. Mike is a long-term veteran of advertising and sportswriting, who has set the valley on fire in the past with articles like this one. Whew!

Last summer in July we had to move the forum to their new platform, and so much of the customization we had before was lost and had to be reapplied to this new platform. The challenge was that my web developer has had too difficult a personal schedule to work on them...until now! OBD Members....See If You Notice... We have two small changes done, with many more coming. The first is when you want to delete a post that is a duplicate, or you just decided to start over later? Just click on the three dots in the upper right corner of the post, what they call ellipses. We use that drop-down menu to edit a post done in the first hour, but they now have also added a "Delete" option when we want to remove a post. Yay! The second one is a small one, but bugged me anyway. When you want to add a emoticon to a post, a thumbs-up, a laugh, etc....the ones used the most used to be the closest ones to the Duck on the right that you click on. With the change in July....the order was reversed, and the most common emoticons used were at the end and more cumbersome to add. The order is right again, and it was great a moment ago for me to place one in a post so easily again. When you donate--you help these changes to occur, so those who have lately....THANK YOU.

The Athletic reports that he is open to new coaching gigs outside of Utah...

You read my mind; with NIL being so high and rightfully so for an experienced player--many who are juniors may decide to return as this announcement and Dante Moore's decision could encourage others to stay and improve their draft stock.

Actually, what I read elsewhere was that he was leaving Utah, but could still be interested in a coaching position. Michigan?
