Canzano Thinks SOMETHING BIG is About to Happen...
olcodgerduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Interesting thoughts. All the Ducks stuff I watch going streaming might be what it takes for me to cut the cable cord. I also think way more people already have Amazon Prime (as I do), so it's not like it would be an additional expense. Go Ducks!! -
...in tomorrow's contest? The first 2 games have really been outliers. The Georgia game - playing possibly the best team in the country with a brand new everything - Coaches, Staff, New Offence, New Defense, New guys in new positions, etc... And we get blown out. The Eastern Washington we show out and do everything we should do to a team - almost a half mile of total offence, strong performances by both offensive and defensive lines. A total domination from beginning to end. Where does that leave us and what are we now looking for? I posit that in real life our Ducks are in between those 2 extremes. As much as I want the win, I think I am looking for something more. I want to see us be competitive. I want to see guys playing their hearts out. I want to see us deliver a strong competitive performance that win, lose or draw we can collectively see improvement on all fronts - from coaching decisions, to who makes the big plays, to who delivers a strong blue collar performance by dominating their position (whatever that is). Realizing it's a mantra from the past, I want to see Fast, Hard, Finish! That's what I'm looking for. What are you looking for? Go Ducks!!

Miami Fans Meltdown Mid-Game Week Two
olcodgerduck replied to DazeNconfused's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Sounds like Deja Vu all over again.... Hahaha!! -
I'm hoping there's going to be a lot of "OK, I get it now" from many (most?) of the players this week, not only defense, but offense too. Nothing like live, competitive action to nail down the lessons you have been trying to learn, perhaps abstractly. Playing and scrimmaging with your own team is no where near what it is like going into a hostile environment with hostile players on the other side. Stuff gets real and lessons get learned. I too am looking forward to that big jump forward in performance. Go Ducks!!

31 - 28 Ducks 3 TO 4 sacks 350 passing yards -
I appreciate the Gordon Lightfoot reference. That song still gives me the chills every time I hear it. Hopefully this is a premonition of things to come, and that the course of the good ship USuCk will follow the trajectory of the last fateful voyage of the Edmund Fitzgerald - straight to the icy bottom. RIP!! Go Ducks!!

Thanks for sharing that! I missed it when I looked at the article with Saturday's uni selection. I'm pleased they're honoring Spencer in that fashion! Go Ducks!!

Yikes. "Nice Has No Future" True?
olcodgerduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thanks @Charles Fischer for keeping this site family friendly and free from a lot of crap found on other sites. A few minutes ago I was reading through the comments on this article (posted on the forum today, outsourced, not our material): Georgia football: 3 reasons Oregon could shock the Bulldogs WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM It's not LIKELY, mind you, but we're here to tell you that it wouldn't be an earth-shaking upset. It was not too horrible as forums go, but the anatomical correctness displayed was an eye opener. I am so happy to have a forum to come to where decency and manners matter. Thanks Charles! Go Ducks!! -
Oregon Fans: "They Were the Worst," But Now?

UNLV Offense Looking Sweet Under Arroyo
olcodgerduck replied to Coach Eric Boles's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Off topic, but when I was in 8th grade (Valdez, AK), my reading comprehension was college level and above. Due to the influx of kids coming in with their parents (construction workers building the Alyeska Pipeline), they didn't know what to do with me. So they put me in special ed. Special ed was conducted in an old mobile home with very homey furnishings, recliners and such. It was a tough life - lounging in a recliner reading novels. Anyway, there was an old record player, and the teacher was a huge Elton John fan. We listened (while we were reading of course), to the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album every day. Not a bad way to pass an afternoon... LOL!! I still enjoy reading and listening to music at the same time. Thanks for prompting an excellent memory! -

Gotta Love a Husky Saturday Spoof
olcodgerduck replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
And she asks, banging the receiver on the counter, "excuse me, who's calling again? I can't hear you..." LOL!! -
Throughout my career, I have found myself learning something from literally everyone I have ever worked with. Sometimes it's a behavior or task hack that I want to emulate, sometimes it's observing something that I know I will never do. Either way, I have always felt it important to keep learning. I appreciate our coaching staff learning from each other. No one person knows everything about everything (Mari nO offense being the sole exception, of course.... ha-ha). You never know when you are going to meet someone who will share "why don't you try it this way?" As other posters have noted, we have transitioned from a D9 Cat (very powerful, very slow) to roomful of brainiacs tuning up the Formula 1 car. I'm excited! Go Ducks!!

The Difference Between This Year and Last?
olcodgerduck replied to Haywarduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
My expectation is that we will hear football noise that is the equivalent of a Dodge Hellcat at wide open throttle. -

USC Killed Previous PAC-12 Expansion Efforts
olcodgerduck replied to lownslowav8r's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I've been pondering a response to the OP while reading other responses, and I've had to conclude that anything I might write from the heart will significantly violate our TOS (which I have TON of respect for, BTW). Suffice to say that I wish the worst for the usuck backstabbers, and the best for us. In terms of music, I'm a big Avenged Sevenfold fan. Letting that band name soak in for a few moments is the closest I can come (here) to saying my true feelings. I like the idea of go big or go home! Time to go big!! (and I'm not meaning B1G btw...) I want something that stays more local but comes together to kick butt!! Time to take charge! Go Ducks!!
