Oregon State Wins Epic Double-Overtime Victory....
I still can't believe the Beavis can't sellout their little 37K seat stadium. They are realizing what we here at OBD have always known about "little brother", they belong with MWC teams. And not even their own fans are willing to pay $$ to see them. That says a lot.

Trojan Tears are Wonderful
I don't know why they would be upset... They only have 7 years left of a $95 million salary. A bargain. Don't ya think?! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤪🤓🥸😎

My Sunday Game Observations: More Progress Than I Thought...
Great points Charles. I concur totally that play calling is goi g hand in hand with comfort and development of players. Dillon is a great talent, but learning the offense and adjusting to new teammates takes game experience. Our win against the smurf-turf horsies looks better and better each week. I believe we are ready for tOSU.

No Ducks Game, but A Lot of Good Games On Today
Why wasn't that offensive pass interference?

Can Anybody Play 4 Quarters of Football?
I've been wondering, has NIL made for more parity or mediocrity? Sounds like a potential future article. Hope someone gets on that. 🤭

The Answers I’m Watching for With the 2024 Ducks
Issues, not problems. I like that, and I agree. The Ducks have issues each week they can work to improve, not glaring problems. Call them growing pains. It's why we actually play the games. Nothing beats in-game experience. Tonight I want to see the continued improvement of our defense. I want to see few or none presnap penalties. And I want to see no easy points left on the field (like Tez missing a wide open Patrick). And no looking forward to next week. 1 game at a time. Let's Go Ducks!

High Praise For Ferguson
It all depends on who drafts him. He has physical abilities and soft hands, he will have a career in nfl. Maybe/probably not super stardom, but successful nonetheless.

Are Oregon Transfers Forever Ducks?
Great question Mr. Marsh. I've been pondering this myself for the past few years, I'm so glad you brought it up. And I love the variety of responses. We all seem to use varying criteria to define what is a "Duck". They all have validity. For me, I've decided each case must be decided on its own based on 1. How does the player feel about Oregon, and 2. How do I feel about that player. Example 1. Travis Dye gave us everything he had, just like Troy, while he was here. His transfer was more about personal reasons, and so my memory of him is good. So to me, he's a Duck. Example 2. Slick Willy. He was dishonest and clearly used us for personal gain. Not a Duck. Most transfers out go for playing time. Can't blame them. Most transfers in are handpicked by Lanning & Co and are both excellent players and quality characters that add greatness and leadership. Can't help but love them. While Bo Nix considers himself a Duck, he also is a 'war eagle' from Auburn and proud of it. Tyler Shough wanted to be a Duck, but also wanted to play and be developed. So he is at his 3rd school and still playing. To me he's a Duck. So I don't use 'once a Duck, always a Duck' as the standard. I go case by case. For me, Bryan Addison doesn't want to be remembered as a Duck. No problem. He isn't. At the end of the day, for me, I guess if the memory of the player, coach, etc brings me joy, then they are a Duck. And some, like Joey or Marcus, are "super" Ducks!! Immortalized forever.

UTEP Joins Mt. West
Does the Scrap-2(?) have the wrong commissioner? Being out-played by the MWC?! Is it too late to merge with the power MWC?

Lanning Discusses Ferguson Hit
I don't disagree. I'm not overly concerned. I think we are improving each week. Replacing 3 NFL starters with new peops takes a bit of adjusting to. Especially at the QB position. Let's peak in Nov. Sept rankings are meaningless.

Did Oregon State Slide Into an Ideal Spot After All?
Let's admit the hard honest truth: OSU has always been a G5 team. Along with WSU. I always have believed that if BSU and WSU or OSU exchanged conferences, WSU(OSU) would play in a bowl every year and BSU wouldn't. So making the Pac12 a G5 conference, makes OSU and WSU top of the league, as long as their recruiting stays at a Pac12 level. That's not likely. I believe BSU will rise to the top. So yeah, OSU is in a "good" place, for a G5 team. Good for them. 😴🥱

Lanning Discusses Ferguson Hit
I'm not trying to be critical, but I thought Dillon Gabriel was a little off in the game. Many of his throws were a little late or behind receiver. Tez did slip on the INT but DG was hesitant and late with the throw. I like how well we played considering it wasn't DG's best game. I look forward to Fri night.

Oregon Still Undefeated, So Why Are Some Ducks Fans Unhappy?
We have yet to play a full 60 minutes of "Oregon football". But we've finished Sept 4-0. Each week seems to be different issues. So we are moving forward. If Tez's pass to Patrick had not been so overthrown, and if his slip in the endzone not helped the pick 6...that's 14 points and we're not talking about not being tough enough. We are one-third through the season, ranked 6th. A good place to be. Now we continue to improve each week so that come late Nov we are at our best. It's impossible to play your best every game for a whole season, especially when the team you're playing is so less talented. To me only Texas looks tough. UGA came out flat, and Bama disappeared 2nd half. tOSU hasn't played anyone as tough as BSU yet. No one has peaked yet. I think we OBD fans are expecting too much too soon. This Friday night will be a great test. A short week with a night game will show if coaches can have the men ready. This game also has all the signs of a potential trap game, so how we play will show us a lot. MSU lost to tOSU last week 38-7. That will be the standard. Our goal is to better that score. And to keep improving each week.

So Ferguson Had to Leave the Game, and it was NOT Targeting?
Because of the chippiness of the game, I think it was smart not to play Dante Moore. No need to risk injury with a cheap shot. Plus, Novosad has earned playing time.

So Ferguson Had to Leave the Game, and it was NOT Targeting?
UCLA did play chippy all night. Some play was worse than others. It is very disconcerting when a player lays a big hit and the player appears injured, to see any type of celebration. Not a good move by Addison. And no reason for "revenge" or proving anything, he's the one who left! Anyway, karma may have bitten him back as he suffered what appears to be a knee injury later in the game and didn't return. Good for Dillon to stand up to bullies. Next time he should bring an O-lineman with him.

I think I bought one of his movies about apostle Paul in Oregon. Loved it. Sorry for your loss Charles. Good friends are priceless.

Let's Discuss! CFB College Football GameDay (All Other Games on 9-28)
Bad call on that UG 2 pt attempt. Looked more like defensive holding imo. By going for 2, would help with momentum and give an edge after scoring 3 more tds. And if you missed, we'll plenty of time for a field goal or another 2 pt try. I liked the call.

Yeah, UG defense looks hesitant. Bama is rockin! As for pom poms, Oregon has given them out in the past. I have quite a few, all yellow. I put them hanging from my trunk on game days.
