Chipper is best seen in the rear-view mirror. We love what he did here, but what has he done since? Or Taggert? Or Mario? Lightning won't strike twice. I think JJ is correct, there will be many openings and others willing to bet on that 2nd lightning strike. For us, it's "in Lanning we trust". I'm sure he has several names in his little black book of potential coaches. He will develop his own coaching tree. Now, huck those fuskies!

Who named it the Cascade Clash?! I mean, it's not bad, but I didn't get a vote! It's more like a Border War than clash. I'm just glad coach Lanning realizes the importance of this one, and wants the win as bad as we do. I don't believe in cruelty to animals, so we best put these mutts down fast! Sco Ducks! Whip them puppies!

For a walk-on qb to make backup in this day and age is amazing. This is no disrespect to Novosad or Moga, just amazement at the effort by Thomas. From what little we've seen from those two, it's clear we think they could manage playing D1 football. What an example of "never, never give up". It will be interesting to see what happens in the transfer portal. Akili Smith Jr is more than capable, young Beaver is promising, someone (something) has to give(go). We will see. Meanwhile, we know coaches have a keen eye for qb's. We seem to be in capable hands.

No "ill will" someone said? His defenses when DC injured at least 3 of our qb's over the years on questionable hits. I don't forget or forgive that kind of culture. Yeah, maybe a perfect Beavis.

CONFIDENCE! I believe we play our best game of the year so far. It's time for a statement game. Sco Ducks!

Woo hoo! 250 yds passing 300+ rushing Bury the sword in their a#$z

I am hesitant to admit this, but I am totally weary of uniform-reveal-Wednesday. I seldom am thrilled with the choice. But my opinion matters little. Apparently the players love it, so...it is what it is. I remember the first black uniforms, against USuC years ago on Halloween weekend I think. When the team came out of the tunnel the fans went crazy! I was there. It was amazing. Here's hoping that these black uni's bring back those good vibes and we crush the condoms!

Oregon 45 - 7 2 t/o 4 Saks 231 yds pass

Officiating is difficult, at any level. That said, I believe unequivocally that the officiating at Iowa was horrendous. Just horrible. Glad we got the win. We are definitely "that team out west". I believe we will soon, if not already, become team most hated by all in the B1G.

I know the press claims our red-zone defense is worst in the country, but no one mentions we are top 3 in not allowing teams into the red-zone! The best red-zone defense is to not let them get there in the 1st place. We are definitely better then we sometimes give our guys credit for.

A Texas, country mile! 😉

Hearing announcers question our "toughness" every week is like hearing the comments "catch by Tez Johnson, he's Bo's brother" each and every time, it's annoying. This game was won by our D-line and our O-line. Well done boys. Get home. Get some sleep and let's reload to crush them Gophers!

Ducks 24-10 1 t/o 2 Saks 217 yds

Most people don't like change. But change is inevitable. Because the B1G has so many teams, we don't get to play each team each year. It will take quite a while to develop new rivalries. However, I already sense a growing dislike from most teams due to our immediate success. I think Oregon is fast becoming that team out west to hate! I do miss being able to drive to away games, but I'm loving the new teams and new stadiums. I love the new teams. It's like every week is a Rosebowl game. Because of all the money now in college sports, we can expect more change to come. Expanded playoffs? Super conference? NFL lite? Whatever comes, as long as our Ducks are included, I'm all in.

Not all teams are paying 4+ M!!
