Just when it looks like it can’t get any harder, it can.

Marcus was our honorary captain for the coin toss.

Homers. It is 98% to 2%.

Utah fans are winning the battle of body count at the game, by a multiple of 100 by my eyes. Duck fans have been late starters, but there’s no catching up at this point. I hope the players don’t feel let down.

Are Duck fans waiting for the Rose Bowl and skipping the Pac12 championship game?

Successful programs recruit well, and expect assistant coaches to leave to become head coaches. Successful programs win, sometimes ugly. Winning is the new culture at Oregon. Coach C is winning.

Ducks 20 - 14, 2, 2, 290

Despite sloppy and sluggish second half, Ducks hang on to win 71 - 65. Dante missed a few free throws down the stretch, but made key defensive rebounds to keep the Ducks in charge.

Ducks by five at the half.

Bama +6.5? Not so fast! The Tide will be out in Atlanta, and the SEC championship will go the Dawgs by two scores.

Altman has schemes that rely on motion and length. I have not seen many power plays drawn up for our big men, so the big men need to get moving!

It’s okay to do well by doing good Charles. Ads won’t bother me if you decide to go that path.

Until recently, a few profited from the efforts of many. Isn’t it better when all are able to profit from personal efforts?

This was posted last night with an announcement that the fan color is green, but who knows?

Fan color is green for Friday in Vegas.

Utah seemed to handle Stanford on the grass field at The Farm much better than the Ducks. Not sure how much the outcomes were based on the turf.

Pac12 championship game host Allegiant Stadium has a grass field. Stanford and UCLA games were played on grass fields. Does Oregon play better on artificial turf than natural grass?

While the team lacks players with much game experience, many third year players are listed as redshirt freshmen, as the 2020 season doesn’t count against eligibility. But the lack of listed juniors and seniors is still an indication of a young team. Good stuff!

With all the speculation happening in the coaching poaching outbreak of 2021, why is Coach Kyle not in the discussion? His team is favored in a league championship game, but his opponent coach is more likely to get the $100 million too good to pass up payoff? Will the lack of attention motivate Whittingham to show up his rival again?

Good to return home and get a big win. This team has talent, but still seems to be missing something. On court leadership? Confidence in each other? Killer instinct? Winning attitude? All of the above?

While he may be a good coach, he’s not capable of performing frontal lobotomies to fix hundreds of thousands of delusional Husky alumni.

I was thinking the same thing about Alex Grinch ruffling Duck feathers while a Coug coach. Imagine what he can do with better talent?

As the former D coordinator for the Ducks, I wish Coach Hoke well anywhere else.

No love for San Diego State 11 win coach Brady Hoke?

Well deserved!
