    It's really too late in the season to do that. Oregon hooked its hopes and dreams on Anthony Brown and they aren't going to mess with the formula that got them 9 wins. Oregon still has A LOT to play for. The Rose Bowl is a big, big deal.

     

    A lot of players were injured before this game started. I was surprised Redd was out. I knew JJ3 would be. Sadly, several important players, suffered injuries in this game. 

     

    The Ducks need to regroup and get it together to beat the Beavers. That is going to be a tough game. The Beavs  beat Utah and now are going to be coming into this game in Autzen ready to prove something.

     

    If Oregon plays its cards right, it may just get a rematch with Utah in 2 weeks. I still think that if the Ducks get a few breaks and play their game, Oregon can most definitely beat Utah in a neutral stadium. Wouldn't that be sweeeeeeeeet?

    You certainly can and should have pulled him tonight. Start him next game? OK, I can see your point there.

  2. All FBS conference champions should go to a playoff. You want to be in the playoff as an independent? Join a conference.

     

    If you are big enough to be considered an FBS level team,  you deserve a shot. 

     

    A true playoff allows teams time to gel and grow that may have struggled early.  For example,  QB Shroud at OSU is much more accurate today than when he played the Ducks. 

     

    OSU sure looks like they deserve to be #2 today. Maybe #1.

     

    Oregon? They aren't even projected to win today. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! (Remember the win in the Shoe, fans).

     

    But we know the CFP is about money. There is more activity and interest arguing about who we all "think" belongs in the top 4 ALL season, which generates $$$$. 

     

    This also results in meaningless bowl games with empty stadiums.

     

    Having a true head to head playoff determine a champion, just like almost every other sport at all levels do, may not generate the same revenue as the CFP. 

     

    Synchronized swimming might also be the exception to having a playoff. 

     

    I agree I think the Ducks are overrated, but if they win the Pac 12, they deserve a shot at the Natty.

     

    Go Ducks!!!!

  3. After Helfrich, there was a rumor that Knight stated he would be willing to pay $10 million a year. 

     

    It seems to me that if the head coach is paid significantly higher than the assistants, then it might be tough to retain good assistants due to the gap in pay vs the work/hours they all put in. 

     

    I would rather have a cohesive coaching group paid more overall to acquire and retain the best of the best than to pay one person more while the others get enticed to leave for another gig.

  4. My fictional story is that he has emotional issues that have surfaced in games so they most likely manifested even more off the field. He has been given numerous "second" chances, but crossed some line. 

     

    Or, he's an angel and thought the team would be better off without him at this crucial time of year. 

     

    Whatever the story,  maybe he will be to another team what Juwan Johnson was to the Ducks team and fans.

     

    Next man up.

     

    Go Ducks!!

  5. The Ducks don't "need" him. If he stays, great. If he leaves, next MAN up.

     

    BTW, the tweet from Saturday night was from Michael. A lot of people think it was from Mycah.

     

    If you want respect, earn it. Anthony Brown has mine now. MEcah Pittman, not so much.

     

    These social media posts are vague. I agree with Charles, they are a huge distraction.

     

    Go Ducks!
