I am on board with these. I was hoping for yellow helmet, green jersey, green pants….not sure we’ve seen that this season and that would be squarely in our traditional color scheme.. But, hey, we have won big games in those black jerseys! GO DUCKS! I like our chances vs Penn St no matter what the team is wearing.

Chas Man. I am also a Duck grad and fan living in Seattle. I 100% agree with your points. The unending supply of arrogance and - frankly, just willingness to just come straight up to anyone wearing a UO shirt and be rude - is bad enough in any year. Imagine how insufferable they will be if they win it Monday? Cannot abide that. I respect the UW team, but....GO BLUE!

I just read a comment on Facebook from a Husky fan comparing their wins over Oregon and winning the Pac to defeating Nazi Germany in WWII. The arrogance and lack of knowledge of history (both football and war) is astounding. PS - Go Texas. Hook ‘Em Horns. And if that fails, fine…go Michigan or, more likely, Alabama!

OK. We got those points back + 1 more and ran some clock. Lets close out the half by stopping USC again. Or not.

One of the announcers said that Royce Freeman played on the team at the same time as LaMichael James, that because LaMichael was so good UO put Royce at WR, and then capped his erroneous sentence off by calling Mariota “Marioti.” Ugh.

First, I don’t like our uniform choice for this game. But, wow…that is a horrible helmet design for Utah. That said, they beat us before is some horrible choices. Oh well. Go Ducks! Beat those guys, no matter what we or they are wearing. PS - if we wore the old school road version of last week’s throwbacks I KNOW we would win this game.

While not the start I expected (not surprised WSU came to play though)….better to be ahead at half than behind. We are going to need some stops by our D in the second half. Ward is on fire. And obviously we can help ourselves with a score on drive on in Q3. We shall see. GO DUCKS! PS - Pac12 refs are terrible. It’s not even if they get a call wrong (which they do), but the bumbling around and not knowing where the ball goes or what player a penalty is on.

I received my new retro Ducks jersey this week. I like it! I also have a retail Ducks jersey from the late 80s/early 90s. See which you like better. For what it's worth, I wore the vintage jersey to the Ducks RB win vs Wisconsin in January 2020. So, there's that. .

The second school I root for is Iowa. I was born on that campus and my parents both graduated from there. As such, I've rooted for them behind OBD for years. So, I've had consistent experience watching BIG 10 games. They indeed do often kick off at 9am Pacific - not all of them, but weekly there are kickoffs at that time. I can envision UO games in the Midwest or East vs "lesser" BIG 10 teams (right now, Indiana, Rutgers, Northwestern, Maryland and yes...maybe Iowa...although they are 5-1 just saying) kicking off just after 9am Pacific. For me, a couple of those a year might be kinda fun. I would not want all non-west coast based games to kick that early, however. We shall see! Meanwhile, GO DUCKS, BEAT WSU!

We had the turnover at the end of the first half, we had the lead in the fourth quarter. Both of those advantages were negated by going for a fourth down situation pursuing a winning TD vs kicking relatively make able FGs. I like aggression, but I’ve been on the planet long enough to know that at times you take what you can get and live to fight for the win later. Our coaches failed to see this longer term strategy. PS - I know hindsight is 20/20, but ever Duck fan I know was SCREAMING for the FGs.

We are good. Our coach is good. But, a) WA is special this year and in particular their QB, and b) we (meaning Lanning) screwed up by not taking those FGs. Very likely 6 points in what ended up a three point loss. Oh well, Live and learn. Just please…learn quickly.

Our guys played well today. We could have won. Penix is REAL. My ONE BIG take-away from the game today is that coaching decisions cost us. Goiing for it on 4th down this game (twice) was both akin to last year’s decisions vs WA but EVEN MORE COSTLY this year. What if we kick those short FGs? Maybe we win or force OT. OK….worst thing ever? No. A little concerning? Yes. Dan, please reference 150 years of football. I can live with a winning season without a playoff spot, but for a “special” season, we now need to win out. Margin just got thin.

This game was close.Either team could have won. Our guys played well enough to win and the UW QB is clearly nails. Our coach decided to roll the dice twice for TDs vs pretty make-able FGSs.. We failed on both of those go-for-it attempts. It cost us. Who knows how things would have turned out if we made both those FGs. Win? I’d say more than 50% chance. If the last name of our coach today was “Mark Helfich,” what would you think? All that said, well…poop. Lets win the rest and rematch with the Dawgs in a neutral site and beat them there!

Lets score on our first possession of the second half and PLAY SOME D! Also, how will our players compare to UW’s in terms of endurance in Q4? That could come into play….depth. We shall see.

I like the egg shell uniforms. I would prefer green and yellow, knowing that the road requires a white jersey. BUT…no matter what our guys are wearing, a) we will look better than the UW, and b) uniform colors don’t negate talent and desire. Lets win this thing!
