And our mighty Ducks will be facing at least 3 of those qb's in the regular season. This is shaping up to be a really fun season!

This talk reminds me of last year after wins in our 1st three games. And we ended up 12 - 0. The real season is about to start. Lots of great games remain. It's too early to be in top form. We improve every week. And it's a looonng season. I think we are doing what's needed to win. 1st real test is this week. Can't wait for the game. All of you going to the game, please yell LOUD!

Time for a quick pick 6!!

I've never stopped calling it the 'Civil War'. Always thought the reasons were ill advised, uninformed, and who cares anyway. We, as a country to easily overly politicize everything. Besides, it really is a 'civil" Civil War. As for Mr C, he has attached himself to a sinking ship (Pac(St)8) and desperately needs paid viewers. Of which I will never be one. Go Ducks! Put lil' bro in his place.

I'm with you Charles, but... Phil & Penny represent the entire state in actuality. Yes Eugene. Yes UO. But their generosity and philanthropy reaches all across the state. Even to Corvalis. They have quietly given millions to OSU. The heart clinic where my wife received life saving surgery is named the Phil and Penny Knight Pavillion, here in Portland. The largest heart facility between Seattle and San Francisco. It makes sense to do this for Civil War game. And as a footnote, the special "state honor" unis, blue and orange/yellow, and the absurdly strange orange legged Duck honor unis, both led to disastrous losses. Humiliating even. This game should all but guarantee a win.

As usual, cool and original. The blackout should be OK as they will be in light color, away units. 69 - 3 sounds good to me!

IMO, as long as the B1G remains the conference, revenue sharing should be equal through the regular season and playoff teams share playoff revenue. A stronger conference, as deep as possible, only makes the whole better. Especially for rankings. And rankings are needed to make playoff. The problem with the old Pac12 was that half the country thought it was USuC and everyone else. So a win against Utah, or ASU, etc carried no weight with voters. Whereas beating Ol Miss (or any SEC team) was a great win. You get my drift. tOSU wanting unequal shares is selfish and short-sighted. It's also a move to try and get in front of potential west coast dominance with OBD, UW and USuC surging on the horizon. (Oregon is already there) without full revenue shares Something tOSU is overlooking is the need for mid-level teams to be in- conference to aid in stacking the win column. If PSU, UM, tOSU, USC, UW, Oregon, et al, played each other every year, there would be a lot of cannibalizing and hurting chances of making playoff. Let's recognize the need for "team" play and try and lift each other. A strong conference isn't needed for pro league, but I think a strong conference is mandatory in college. Especially when deciding who makes playoffs is often so subjective.

So all players are Lannings guys. All buy in to his "team " philosophy. We are seeing the results. This year's team is different, cuz they're all Lannings boys. We need to change our thinking as Duck fans, cuz these guys are all buying in to the Lanning philosophy: team first. Look at the blocking, the sacrifice (Noah's block on blitz), down field blocking, etc. These guys want everyone to succeed. Raise can be a BIG year. My opinion: Dante is the guy to lead us to a Natty. BUT, Austin Novosad can get it done too. We are in great shape!

Remember he didn't like our fast paced, no huddle offense either. No one like change or adaptations that take away your advantage. Now that everyone can pay players above board, the SEC has no advantage. The degree programs are pretty much all better in B1G schools as they are all AAU members. Dream on st Nick.

If this happens as reported, Oregon might not be able to get transfers before Spring quarter. Winter quarter starts 1st few days of Jan. Registration to be done by Christmas at latest (I think). All transfers would have to start Sping or Summer, possibly missing Spring practice.

Doesn't school start winter session in January? How would a transfer get registered?

Too much early money makes "desire" too difficult to motivate. They already getting paid.

I guess the real issue isn't just losing that first game, but how bad they looked playing the game. Those issues clearly look like coaching issues too. In the modern era of CFB, being an "old blueblood" isn't enough. The best players are demanding huge sums of $$ to play. NIL deals make any school look attractive. The SEC doesn't mean more if they aren't willing to pay more. Before all the $$, getting to a Bowl game was the sign of a good season. Something more than 60 teams could do every year. Now it's all about making the playoffs. Something only 12 teams can aspire to. So early seasons losses to teams you're supposed to bear, just mean more. 'Bama is no longer "the" place. And besides, whoever coaches there will always be compared to Saben. That's an impossible act to follow. We are so blessed to have coach Lanning. Gotta admit it's a little fun watching the mighty blueblood 'Bama realize they may just be average, or worse.

Those Bellichec memes were hysterical! Thanks for sharing. 🤣🤣

Regarding arm strength, Dante fired 2 balls Sadiq couldn't get his hands around. He zipped those balls too fast for Kenyon. KS needs to practice with the jug machine turned up high!

Hey JJ, A win is a win. 😉 Just ask Boise. Remember our last year start? I'm glad to see the 4-0 start. Can hardly wait for Sat! I think MSU Bobcats may be tougher then most think. Sorry, I'm just anxious. Go Ducks! Crush them 'Cats!

I love the walk from campus to Autzen. Over the river, and through the woods... "You'll hear it, long before you see it"

Thank you Charles for this site. I am so ready to read and learn more from all the intelligent followers here. It seems like it's been forever since last season. I'm tired of reading about politics, let's get to what's important, DUCK football!!! Let's sco!
