As my dad used to say about the Ducks and Beavs every year..."it's a rebuilding year".
This play and the youtube title epitomizes the two teams

I don't believe I've ever seen the Ducks miss so many tackles, and that's saying something.
It's men against boys. The grasshoppers against the ants. I've never seen an Oregon team look so small.
I like the offensive play calling. But the players look slower than in the past to me.

I'm concerned about the O the first game because since Taggart, there have been a lot of changes EVERY year since. The O has lost momentum. It might take a few games to gel.
After a year of short passes last season many WRs lost out on valuable in-game experience and were frustrated.
Losing both premier RBs doesn't help, but that's CFB. Are the RBs going to be ready the first game of the season? I'm looking forward to watching Cardwell and McGee.
Relying on a Sr transfer QB hasn't worked out very well for Oregon. Nix can knock over a scoreboard with his arm, but sometimes pulls out the cannon on very short throws causing drops. He seems to sell the play action well. He can run. Does he stay focused?
Go Ducks!

He may be gone before the first frost.

Frost called the plays and it was covered more than once during televised games.
He was the poster child for getting calls down to the backup QBs that resulted in successive plays run within several seconds and the media loved to talk about it.
I don't have an issue with Frost. But Nebraska fan's arrogance during and after their heyday makes this drought seem like poetic justice.
The combination of Kelly, Helfrich, and Frost arguably gave us fans and many CFB fans some of the most exciting football to watch.
But, without a Natty it is almost like only eating desserts. It's not healthy to live on just desserts.
I can appreciate Cristobal's meat and baked potatoes approach. He had some success. But I'd like to see a full course from Lanning and company, not just FROSTing.
Go Ducks!!

Seems like Brown's numbers were inflated because he was relegated to a lot of dinks and dunks due to his horrid accuracy past 10 yards.
I love his heart, guts, and attitude. He's one heck of a classy man.
But I'm past ready for someone new.

I think there might be a different reason for the UCLA/USC move other than being driven by Fox.
This article indicates those schools initiated the move due to underwhelming revenue. Of all the schools in the Pac-12, those schools were almost always guaranteed national network TV time every week. But, most of the other schools struggled to compete with the Shark vacuum for TV time.
Revenue sharing wasn't working for the P12 premadonnas. Ironically, the poor performance of both those schools in football didn't help the conference, either.
What may have been the tipping point was 2020. While other teams were playing, the P12 watched their revenue stream trickle.
If it is true that Fox is the cause of this change, it seems like a gray racketeering area...albeit light gray.
At the very least, Larry Scott, a New York, NY native tennis player, should never had the opportunity to mismanage the Pac-12. And for that and this decision, I blame the school chancellors.
Wherever they land, Go Ducks!

He created more National Championships in three years than the Huskies did in 130 years!
Hahaha! I hear the Huskies are pushing to have all competition done via MS Teams.

I always get nervous when I see a Georgia poster because I am worried one of our "crazies" found this board. But so far, at least what I have seen, we haven't had too many visit.
... thanks for welcoming us!
We had crazies by the load at Autzen wearing "we want bama" shirts that didn't get or understand the "Win The Day" memo.
They try to get in here, but they get escorted out quickly.

I believe Harter got a whopping $38,000 deal later, if I recall correctly.

Utah Coug'ed it. Wow.

I love the sign in the stands that read:
"all gas no brakes"
I hope someone took down Cristobal's "slow children" sign from his office wall.

6 TDs in one quarter and 6 minutes to go.
Can Uncle Phil offer Rising a Duck contract?

The Utes are pretty young. I'm already concerned about next year.

Carroll left USC with 30 stripped scholarships, 2 years banned from bowls, many games and championships vacated.
I have a hard time thinking those were glory years.

I’ve been a fan since Bob Berry was quarterback, my dad, myself, and my son graduated from Oregon, and my grandfather was on the Board of Regents at Oregon. I struggled to watch even the first half, then quit. It was an embarrassment to the school, the athletic department, the team and the players. There was nothing to be gained by playing this game, it hurt recruiting, it hurt our new coach. Numerous other teams found ways not to compete, we should have done the same. We also shouldn’t have allowed an assistant coach going to Miami to spend all this prep time with Oregon players creating a temptation to transfer. As much as I love Oregon football, there was nothing to be gained by this game. I sincerely hope this doesn’t damage our new coaches effort moving forward.
I feel your angst. But I disagree 100% about quitting on the bowl game.
Never quit. Never give up.
A bowl game allows players extra practice reps before the bowl that other teams are not allowed.
Use this experience like a clam uses an irritant to create a pearl.
Time to reset and gear up for next season.
Go Ducks

Here is a positive thought ... with 8:38 left in 3rd quarter our D has given up in points what it would take Georgia just about 4 games in the SEC to surrender. Things will get better!
IDK. They got their hats handed to them by Alabama. I'm not sold, yet.

Old Guy - Requesting Fewer Acronyms ASAP Please...
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
As I get older, I find my brain slowing down.
I'm asking for help by using fewer abbreviations and acronyms in posts.
Trying to read a post without getting slowed down and distracted by abbreviations and acronyms is becoming somewhat frustrating. I have done this thousands of times, too.
While reading, I have to convert the letters to words in my slowing brain and sometimes have to factor in context.
A few examples are:
O = Offense or Oregon?
D = Ducks or defense?
DL = Defensive Line or Dan Lanning?
Bo = Bo or body odor? (trying to keep things light)
I can handle a few in a post but when they are salted and peppered throughout, I am more inclined to check out.
I tried finding the forum writing tips pinned a while back but couldn't so this can be deleted. But I would like a section added to it.
Thanks for reading and for your consideration.
Go Ducks!
