Utah HC WHIT is Retiring
Of all the teams from ye olde Pac12, the one I miss playing the most is Utah. I enjoyed and respected the teams that Coach Whittingham always brought to the field. They were never an easy out, and always played their backsides off until the final whistle. Never an easy team to play, but certainly more fun when we won 😁 Much respect sent, I'm wishing Coach Whittingham the best in whatever his future endeavors are. OlCodgerDuck

Oregon Fans Have Plenty To Be Grateful For This Thanksgiving
From the above article: "To call USC football “irrelevant” feels a bit extreme. After all, the Trojans were just featured on College GameDay, and more than five million people watched Saturday’s game against Oregon." Uh, hello?? College Game Day was in Eugene, not in BFE SoCal!! The arrogance is incredible!! 🤬 And I know I'm preaching to the choir, but do they really think Game Day came to our town and 5 million people tuned in just to see USC?? (and I know the lonely usuc homers do believe that because delusion runs deep in LaLa land...). I think 5 million people tuned in to watch one of the top teams in the country simply take care of business. They tuned in because OBD are working like a well oiled machine (something I know a thing or 2 about 😂)!! And more than a few of the host of viewers watched because they wanted to see usuc face plant again! 😁😁😁 rant over... Speaking of just taking care of business, I'm looking for more of the same today from OBD!! Go Ducks!! Beat the mangy leg lifters!! OlCodgerDuck 🦆🦆🦆

Josh Pate's Epiphany About Mario Cristobal In Real Time (Must Watch)
I thank the good Lord often that Mari-no-O chose to forsake our feathered nest and sneak out in the middle of the night (as it were) for his beach-side paradise. I hope he's enjoying it as much as we are LOL!! 😂 Go Ducks!!

OBD Paths to the Future. Which Would You Choose?
I believe the future is going to be a sliding scale starting at A and heading to C. Yes, we've been leaning heavily on the Portal the last few years because we could. However, I see the Portal in the coming years becoming a diminishing return as we get farther from the artificial extended availability of athletes due to the covid* years' extensions. The primary reason we had Nix, Dillon, et al is that they had 5 - 6 years of eligibility due to the NCAA extending additional years to (partially) compensate these athletes for the years robbed from them by the virus. 10 years ago, who'da thunk we'd in succeeding years have 2 quarterbacks playing out 5 - 6 years of college eligibility? The farther we get from the virus years, the more we'll return to athletes playing only 3 years (again), and maybe staying for a 4th year only if it will help improve their NFL draft status. This return to normal eligibility will be the great equalizer, and it will soon become super important to recruit and develop our own talent, and only occasionally reach into the portal "cupboard" to fill a need that, for whatever reason, we were not able to supply through our own organic sourcing/development. As this transition occurs, I believe we'll see Coach Lanning really shine as he will finally be able to field a team comprised mostly of his own recruits who have been developed in house. With this in mind, I'm super stoked about the future, and can't wait for Aug 31 to see how next season is going to pan out! Go Ducks!! OlCodgerDuck *interesting that my laptop wanted me to type covid in all caps... I was able to resist the prompting however 🙂

Danno is Building a Georgia-Like Machine in Idyllic Eugene😍
So, what you're really saying is that not only is this individual a boorish partisan imbecile, but also that his inability to spell is certainly a fine example of intellectual and educational "prowess"? If so, well spoken, my friend! 🤣🤣 Go Ducks!! Ol'Codger Duck 🦆🦆🦆

Are NBC Games Cursed for Oregon?
Once again, it felt like we were fighting not only another team and a hostile crowd (to be expected at a road game) but the anouncers too... So, we had to win like 3 games at once. No wonder it was only a 1 score win! Holy crap!! Good grief Charlie Brown!! I'm so happy we have a bye week, we need to catch up alittle bit LOL!! Go Ducks!! Beat the Fuskies!!

A Time Out to Allow the Players to Watch Michigan Fans Emptying the Staduim.
Due to my schedule I often have to watch the game on Sunday. Without knowing any of the above, and with several minutes left in the 4th quarter, I paused the game on an aerial shot of their stadium to point out to my wife how empty the stands already were. I didn't quite make the connection that Coach Lanning did, but I pointed out how much disrespect the Michigan fans were showing their own team. The fact that Coach Dan took a timeout to verify and validate his prophecy is amazing to me! The brilliance Is too much!! Gotta put on my shades 😎!! Go Ducks!!

Charles's Chuckles: You Gotta Have a Laugh Sometimes...
I would say that yes, indubitably, Gabriel is the greatest quarterback of all time in that stated category!! BTW, indubitably is one of my favorite words! I'm so stoked that I finally had a chance to use it! 🤣

Holy Crap! Look at What Oregon's Projected Team Weakness Is...
I did the same thing LOL!! I guess at least we know who is going to be blamed for the odd timeout before the first play. I guess it'll probably also be the secondary's fault that they had to run the same failed 4th & 1 play for the third time in a row... Hahahaha!!!! Go Ducks!! OlCodgerDuck

Even Beavis Fans Don't Want Civil War
I think the best way to look at this going forward is thru an SEC style lens. When/if we fall back to only 8 in-conference games, then we can schedule beavis for the 4th out of conference game. Say around game 9-10 as the cupcake game to rest & heal up for the home stretch. Otherwise beavis can go chew trees for all I care!

Mariota Reflects On NFL Career
I've always appreciated the class and poise that Marcus has conducted himself with. He has certainly had more than his fair share of adversity in the NFL, but his attitude has always been one that uplifts those around him. Marcus is a fantastic representative of his home (Hawaii), UO, and by extension us, being fans of the Ducks. I wish Marcus a wonderful year of pro football, and with any luck at all, several more. Go Ducks!!

Oops, Mari (no O) Has Done it Again
Ahh, Mari No O strikes again!! It wouldn't surprise me if he did override his OC's play call - to take a knee!! He's bone headed enough to tell his crew "we're not taking the easy way out, we'll fight to the end!!" and run another play... And, it would be just like him to let his OC take the blame for the call that he changed... Wonder who his OC next year will be? LOL!! Forever grateful to Miami!! Go Ducks!! OlCodgerDuck

Streaming Games: Rough Waters or Gently Down the Stream?
Something I have done in the last several years is to cable my TV to my desktop or my laptop via HDMI cables. I don't watch a ton of streaming content, but it works great for watching YouTube videos with my wife, or watching Prime TV content. My main TV is almost 20 years old, and it handles all the connections I want to throw at it. Once this connection is put in place, all you have to do is switch inputs on your TV to watch whichever one you want to at the time. Something I have started doing when traveling is to pack an HDMI cable with my laptop, and connect it to the TV in my hotel room - allowing me to watch whatever would be my regular programming at home, or watch content from my DVR. Can't call me a gray beard as I don't wear a beard, but my mustache is definitely not the same shade of brown it was 40+ years ago either. Nothing stays the same, and while I bristle when confronted with change, I will do whatever it takes to watch my Ducks. Go Ducks!!
