Hairball is actually doing something pretty good LOL

28-13 Michigan --Ohio St found their Utah?

Chip once said that some players put on the Duck uniform think that magic will happen--they tend to forget that THEY are the magic.

I love my team/s, But I am a pro FAN person and Fans sometimes express opinions that aren't always popular--but its all a part of the game. Like my grandma said if ya cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen. BTW I took Boos as a sophomore BBal player. I turned out fine --LOL

The Hazelnut Bowl? The Timber Bowl? The Rain Bowl? The Cranberry Bowl? The Blackberry Bowl? The Peppermint Bowl? The Rhubarb Bowl? The Grass Seed Bowl? Oregon is the #1 Producer in the US for these things, except rain.

I cant make a prediction because I don't like predicting against my Ducks, so Ill just leave at that.

I know the Ducks can beat the Beavers but will they? I hope so.

At this point in time my bet would be that MC stays at Oregon. He is still relatively young, if he puts the Ducks in the playoffs in the next few years the sky is the limit.

He will have things turned around before midway through the season.

One more thing. I would never condone calling any coaches or players names. That is BS.

I wont take this thread any farther re the topic. However I have played organized baseball, football and basketball and I know how tough it all can be, especially football which is BRUTAL. I also played semi pro and pro music for 25 years in the Portland area and I sure know what it feels like to be rejected. I also know and accept that people will say good and bad things about everything incl sports at every level. I used to umpire Pee Wee baseball games and you would be amazed at what parents say and do. As I've stated before we all have our version of fandom.

Maybe disappointed isnt THE word. But I havent seen any statements or opinions on the 2nd 3rd and 4th comments I made. There will always be some that are over critical and there will be others that are not critical at all. Its the way sports have always been.

Ill be honest, I root for my team to win and if they lose I am disappointed--I guess that is not ok? If you have a team like Bama you expect it to pummel other weaker teams. AND!!! Ive seen Saban go off on his team(players) for not scoring more and playing better against much lower/weaker tier teams.--People are fickle I guess. Also playing for free????? what? a 200,000 scholarship is free?? I have to add one more thing----Ive seen Saban and Cristobal go way off the charts chastising a player/players for making 19 and 20 year old's mistakes.

Yup I used a lot of these days LOL.

Why are we taking out our anger against fans? They buy the tickets and all the apparel. THE FANS DONT PLAY THE GAME--lol, Its entertainment folks. Coaches are worse than the prima dona players these days. College ball is big $$ these days. You need tough skin to be in the entertainment business -or get out of it

I wonder what Saban would think if the Bama fans stopped supporting him? and his $$

They need to kick their A?_s_#_e-S!!! But green is good, my fav!! Actually that should always be their main color.

Mid way through the season Altman will figure things out--just wait and see.

That def could have been a big part. Bellotti would go to those places 1 to 2 days early to acclimate. Im thinking at this time of the season too hard at practices too??? The injuries worrisome too.

Thats a sign of poor discipline AND the lack of reps, one might even say the lack of mental AND physical training. In the Utah game I think we looked worn out.

I think the frustration with most Duck fans is that we are barely a top 25 team on the field with 3 years of darn good recruiting, top 10 or better.

I dont think Fla is going to offer Mario a job. He's not offensively minded enough. Miami maybe.

We as fans have no control over what he choses to do so we have to hope for as good or better. The U of O is no slouch either and it seems committed to being quality football program. However if he goes to Miami or especially FLA they are going to expect results and soon. thats a lot of pressure.

Benny Beaver??--I always knew he was a closet Duck fan.

I sure hope so but I have my doubts-mostly because this is dependent on AB.
