DUCKED

But you get out of your seat for SHOUT, right?

The Ducks played scared down the stretch, stopped moving, frankly looked discombobulated. They made a couple of plays at the end……and escaped. Forget this one. On to Wazoo.

Bruno Mars and Beyoncé was perhaps the best halftime show ever, but most were pretty much unwatchable.

Totally agree Annie. The NFL — and especially the Super Bowl — is more than anything, entertainment. The cameras will zoom in on anything that might appeal to the audience, which for this game will NOT just include football fans. If they want to show Taylor Swift for a total of less than 2 minutes, which is typical, what’s the big deal?

Favorite sports…..in order: Football, Men’s Basketball, Volleyball, Softball, Baseball, Track, Women’s Basketball, Tennis and Golf (which, justifiably, rarely if ever appear here.) Note: I love women’s basketball, just not the Ducks right now. The UConn-Notre Dame game was the one of the highlights of yesterday’s women’s slate, and the day before South Carolina’s win at LSU was an instant classic,

None of these comments surprise me, surely not the ones posted here. Just imagine if, perish the thought, that Tez opted to transfer to Washington. This board would go nuts……just like it did, (thank god!) when Cristobal bolted for Miami.

I’m pulling for the Ravens……and I think they’ll win, with the home field advantage, and Lamar (even against Mahomes) being the difference. Plus, it could possibly set up a rematch against the Niners in the Super Bowl.

“ Not obstruct the view too much.” For what we’re paying for season tickets, I don’t want my view obstructed at all.

It’s not just the portal. It’s the portal and NIL. The portal originally was mostly loaded with players, who either had not lived up to expectations, or were not getting the playing time they had expected. Now NIL money has gotten so attractive that players who are perfectly happy where they are, are entering the portal to shop around for more cash. The game has changed…..and something needs to be done. But what? Hell if I know. (Jon……jump in any time)

It could possibly be Michigan State writing a bigger check than the Ducks.

DeBoer will be set for life with his new contract, even if he flames out at Alabama. I don’t know what he was making at UDUB, but they hired him from Fresno State, so it obviously paled in comparison to what he is guaranteed with his new deal. Good move for him.

Fellow Cal Bear here…….you must have been waaaaay off the grid. You missed all the fun, and all the “will he or won’t he” chatter. I just feel relieved that Dan is sticking around. But I’m not naive, and realize that some day he will move on……they all eventually go. So, let’s just enjoy the ride while it lasts.

James Hunter: No smoke without fire. He’s gone.

Tez.

Huskies could not run the ball, which emboldened the Michigan line to come after Penix, who never once looked comfortable in the pocket and by the end of the game was hurting so badly he probably should not have been on the field. Really, it was line play on both sides of the ball that doomed the Huskies.

Nix is one of the best to ever wear a Duck uniform. That’s good enough.

The Athletic has a NCAAF site where you can indicate Oregon as a team to follow, if you are a subscriber.

OKLAHOMA dominated on offense, but it’s difficult to win when you turn it over…….. 6 times!

Wait a couple of days and they’ll plummet even more.

Ah……Nat King Cole said it best.

Classy and well conveyed post.

Huh?

It’s a new world, and I don’t see it changing……for the better. I’ve sounded off before about the hypocrisy of the student athlete tag, and the ridiculousness of it has never been more apparent. Top players are looking for the best opportunity to make it to the LEAGUE, and maybe fatten up their bank account in the process. A college degree is not their main priority. And, yes, the revolving door of players coming and going is here to stay. This is the new landscape college of football. And as long as Oregon operates with integrity and within the rules, I will be pulling for the Ducks.

Nephew I believe….

Moga is a true dual threat QB. Would hate to lose him. A QB who can make or extend a play with his legs, like Nix and Gabriel, is invaluable. Does Moore have that ability?
