The Pig-2 have no idea where they are going...

A very kind thought, but I am more of a "whine" guy, than "wine" guy. There HAS to be some good IPAs in Northern California?

Take the points and the win. OBD will....

I stand corrected--sounds good!

Noah does not have another year; this is it. I have faith that Coach Samples sees the same thing and begins to work Jay Harris into some PT.

Good. Now put your nose to the grindstone and work your way back!

Great post, and unfortunately....he is still learning-on-the-job. Saban and Smart had a learning curve, and so does Dano, and apparently in an area we did not anticipate. It is unfortunate, that like Mario...he does not learn quickly. How many times does he have to fail on 4th down on his side of the 50 yard line, and help the opponent? This might be the same. Dano might be pretty smart, but stubborn to a fault. As an old Greybeard-age fan, it is frustrating to watch coaches have to learn stuff that we as fans have witnessed and learned over the years.

I might have a digital copy later....

This is not new, as it has been known for months, and why I added Peacock to my Comcast package seven months ago. So there are no further surprises....we have ONE MORE game on the B1G Network (like last weekend) this season. They have not announced which game it is yet. I got YouTube TV, not just for the football games, but for the Baseball season as well. Double-Play Baby!

I was at first, but now looking at stuff in slow-motion...I am feeling better. Most is quite correctable....especially the attitude and hubris going into the game.

I will have an article on Friday looking at the issues, and what to watch for versus BSU. I am seeing the issues on the O-Line, and most are correctable...

Nice examples Darren, and the biggest difference is that we LOST those games, while this time we simply got our pride hurt.

1. They've said ENOUGH about us all summer to swell the hat sizes a bit too much. 2. Let's deserve it first.

Agreed. USC has more talent at receiver than we do, and looked very tough on defense. Holding any SEC team to 20 points is pretty darn good for any defense. This was a "good-or-good" game. If USC wins, then it is good for the B1G. If USC loses...I see no problem with that!

Our All-American Tackles had a bad day... --Perhaps they were overworked prior and came in with heavy legs? --They had been believing their press clippings? I think we will see a big bounce-back from them, and the O-Line play will improve enormously. Unlike some who think it is a permanent problem--I do not at all. All these guys have done it before and proven themselves, so it is not like they cannot do it. Get Bedford back and things go to normal, IMHO. No. 65, Ajani Cornelius...

Damn. USC looked really good. They are a top-10 team…or better.

BTW... Saturday Attendance: Oregon State 31,000 WSU 20,000 Oregon: 57,000 No Power-4 Conference invites? It IS a mystery...

OK...I was doing FishDuck Photo Archiving stuff today, and I GOT TO go over the game closely on Monday...

We have been posting his videos and discussing them for months.

Well, I just tell them up-front...."I Never Said I Was Noble."

BTW...I do wish to thank everyone for reasonable discussion of a disappointing performance from OBD on Saturday. As I wrote before, discussing the negative is fine, as that is what a forum is for...and boy are we! But venting on fellow OBD members is not allowed, and not healthy. I have not read any of that, while I think all the negative comments have merit and generate further pondering by all of us. Negative-yes. Venting-no. And we all have been in the first category. Thank you! I love this community!

"Hopefully this standoff will be resolved quickly." It is a nice thought, but I would bet against it. Why? Because Fox/B1G wants a buck more per subscriber per month of not just those who want the B1G channel and buy the extra package, but ALL subscribers of Comcast Xfinity in Oregon, Seattle, and all of LA? That is a ton of money. And Fox/B1G have no choice; they MUST get paid that or the other 14 B1G members get a discount in what their subscribers in their local areas are paying. B1G must have it, and I don't think Comcast/Xfinity can afford it or will want to pay it. I think both sides are dug in...

Santa Rosa Duck! He had a predicted score of 48-14, of which was 24 total points off the actual score of 24-14. Mr. Reliable, TerryM9, just missed with his 42-6 prediction by 26 total points. I wish the site was loaded with funding, so I could afford prizes...maybe someday. But Santa Rosa--savor it, as I have first crack each week in predicting and have not won YET in three years. Hats off to you!

Yep! And no I have not yet evaluated the game--a bunch of other FishDuck related stuff to attend to first today. (Like this forum that I love!)
