Just Ducky

Georgia offensive line was literally throwing undersized FSU players out of the way. Men against boys for sure.

Lot of wide open OM receivers so far.

If the Ducks come out slow, which has been the case in a few games this season, we will see a competitive game till the 2nd half. If the Ducks come out fast then it could be over early. Team speed is at every position is a huge advantage for the Ducks. The competition in this game is themselves and will show us a lot about our coaching staff. IMO the Ducks should win handily.

One thing is clear. The IQ level clearly favors the trees.

I remember both incidents as well but the shoe lace thing is still etched my mind as the what the ???k moment.

Does the score really shock me? No!!

One glaring difference in this game was athletic ability and team speed. I believe that was a third string QB for SC. Didn’t the number 2 guy transfer? Anyway Louisville would be a below average team on the left coast.

I want a one win champion!

Think I would rather watch high school playoff games than watch 85% of the collegiate bowl games. That being said I will be watching the Ducks pummel Liberty. I look at them like I did colorado. Is it a must win for DL as far as recruiting and respect is concerned? Of course it is. Will there be a large television audience? I doubt it.

Remember the days I would root for Colorado but once trash talking neon walked in the door those days were immediately history.

Nattys Ducks 33 , buffs not sure didn’t make the top 15. Football It will be a while before Colorado catches Harvard or Yale and they did it without trash talking.

I believe it was 1970 when I first saw the Ducks play at civic stadium and Bobby Moore ran the ball like I’d never seen live before. I was playing college baseball at the time and had seen a Lot of good athletes but this guy was a step above. A large one in fact. Been a Ducky ever since. If my math is correct that’s over 50 years. Where has the time gone? Whew!

Can bears play linebacker? The answer is yes. Hard to coach em though.

Key ingredient is butter at the end no matter how you cook it. IMHO. Oh! and don’t forget to cut at a 45 degree angle to help make a cheap cut of meat more tender. Lol

It’s so odd to me that the Ducks wide receiver room is no longer a worry of mine. It’s deeper than it ever has been and is about to get deeper. The thought of a 4 star jumping ship 4 years ago would have been devastating. The D line however is still a question mark. Got a lot of good players but do we have that stud that will change the game on any snap? If we do what’s his name? We need a guy on both sides of the d line that can set the edges and consistently make plays. Dorlous was supposed to be that guy and had 0 tackles in our last game against the huskies. Until we find those 2 edge guys we will struggle and looking at this roster I don’t see a guy like Tibs anywhere.

Not sure I really have an opinion about who is going to win the big 12 but I do know who has the beast coach and it’s not Colorado.

IMO until the ducks can stop the running game when they need to they have little chance against the power football teams and a natty. The Ducks gave up over 250 yards to Johnson in 2 games that they needed to win to me that is a big failure and can’t happen when you are against playoff teams. Can they fix this? Maybe Have they shown signs that they can? Not consistently. Will they do it? We certainly hope they will. Will they do it next year? Probably not. Granted we have some young studs on this team and most of the COVID players are shuffled thru by now. Most teams will be getting young again so we should be just behind the blue bloods. In 2 years we will have the nucleus of DLs guys plus a sprinkling of transfers and a couple of years playing in the B1G. By then we will probably have the answers.

Popularity contest.

What little Innocents that college football had is gone and never will return. Greed and our governing bodies have seen to that. Miss managed businesses usually fail and the Pack is proof of that. Sad we only get to know our team for a shorter time than before. So I will buckle up and enjoy the ride until I just can’t take it any more.

I do think that college coaches put in way more time than NFL coaches. There are always exceptions but the transfer portal and recruiting are rigorous jobs all by themselves then add the regular season. Have no idea how these guys get any sleep. Just think of the air miles these guys are putting in. Makes an nfl job look like a cake walk. Average salary in the nfl for head coaches is 6.6 million. KS will make somewhere around 12 million this year as Jon just stated. He would take a huge cut in wages if he went to the Falcons. Average tenure for an nfl job is 3.2 years. I am with Jon here that KS might be making the career blunder of his life leaving the Dogs for the falcons. He might have a better roster also at Georgia. Lol

Well I hate to admit it but they did handle our defensive line in the last game quite easily so maybe they are that good. We will find out soon.

I’m with you DanL but it is what it is. Hopefully this will slow as DL continues to recruit like he has. Hopefully there will be less of a need for the portal players and we can grow more from within. That being said we will probably always have to grab That Guy when he is available that we can’t live without.

If you’ve ever been to Georgia the humidity is pretty unbearable at times. They do have some good bars however.

Aaron has always been a bit of a Negative Nelly. Anthony and Joey just shake their heads when Aaron spews out the negativity. If you don’t watch Talking Ducks I would suggest it instead of dancing with stars. Lol Jorden, Anthony, and Joey have some interesting takes although Joey takes forever to spit it out. It’s on you tube every week during the season.

Interesting to read the Bios of this talented bunch. If you get time take a look. I like to see the number of other schools who recruited these young studs actually tells us a lot. Love the size of most of the Dbs. Maybe we can take over as Linebacker University sooner than later. Go s
