Great topic, Pitt. Even now...both would be worth the gamble, and both would have had a much better chance succeeding under Lanning than under Chip and Helf. In the end...I'll bet Cliff would have made it, but Colt's incredible talents would fall short of his demons. Touchdown...Lyerla.

Bama fans are smarter than some others....

Well, when the SEC decides to go to nine games, and we begin to set up non-conference games between the B1G and the SEC every year with the entire leagues, then we may see at Autzen... While that may not happen for a while, it is now quite possible compared to before.

I agree; those other traditional blue-bloods have their 'Nattys, and while Oregon is an elite team at this time, we will not be a blue-blood until we win a few. Hence those other programs have their traditionals established, and Dan would just be following in their history already built. The expectations would be high, and he would simply be trying to "match" what has been done in the past. At Oregon...he can establish a legacy unlike any other prior coach in Eugene, and I think he wants to. He has stated that he wants his boys to all graduate from the same high school, and the youngest is now 11 years old, thus I believe we have six years of him, minimum. He strikes me as the type of guy that once he has won a 'Natty or two at Oregon...he will have "done-it" at the college level, and will want to match the best defensive minds in the NFL. Although he could be a "Lifer" here if he wanted to! Recruits....Come to Oregon!

Yep, on August 7th, 2011....my web developer texted me and said, "we're live," and the site began with publishing articles. Since that time we have published over 7,000 articles, and yours-truly has written over 700 articles. This birthday is for the article site, FishDuck.com, although the forum did come into existence many years later, and it is very special to me. We serve thousands of readers and OBD members, and do it all for free, thanks to all the volunteers, and your patience with the ads, and backlink references in articles. We are all great at giving a spirited opinion, while not taking personal shots at one-another. It is a rare set of sites, and I thank everyone for being a part of this fun. This video was made right at this time....fourteen years ago! (I miss my Abbie!)

That game came down to the final play...where Cal could have won. They were knocking on the door to score, and it never should have been that close.

The fake smile in the news conference where he told the media he wasn't going anywhere... And he left the next day.

I dunno...I wouldn't mind 17 million to go away, as he got from Florida State. But for me...?

I would "refresh," and give it some time and try it again. That happened to me in the distant past, but have not seen it occur in some time.

I will give him credit for raising the recruiting ceiling at Oregon, as he proved it could be done. Just before he left, we had the No. 3 class in the nation, and Oregon had never done that before. Many recruits dropped off when he left, but Cristobal did do a good job of retaining most of that class for that year.

Because we stumbled out of the gate against Idaho last year...I'd like to think we'll be mentally ready this time.

Incoming Oregon transfer Josh Schleichardt is killing it!

He has unbelievable quickness, and I think...would have been a star last year if Derrick Harmon had not transferred in. I'm looking for a big year from him!

It is always here! Go up to the top of site as you see below and click on "Repository," and then click on ChileDuck Depth Chart. Very handy to always have access to!

What IS he thinking about...if it isn't about ME?

Well, we can't let some Alabama fun slip past...

We need a little fun to brighten our day, and nothing is quite like Huskies gnashing their teeth...

Too funny!

It is funny that many of the services list him as a corner, yet all the film shows him as a free safety? Regardless, he’s very very good.
