Just Ducky

To win the games that they are supposed to win and be competitive till the end in the games they loose.

Running back room is filling out quite nicely with several studs in the room that can all produce yards in different ways. Because of Covid we have some maturation which, even though not a lot of Playing time, will help with the strength over the season. I am looking for some chunk yardage out of these guys to compliment our passing game which was woefully missing in both aspects. I think back to the Mariota years when ( we were Spoiled by the way ) 3rd or even 4th and long were mostly gimmes. Sure would be fun to see that again.

I certainly hope the Ducks are better because it couldn’t have gotten much worse. Oregon was headed down a spiraling path the couldn’t stop. MC had already lost the team and I truly believe that the Ducks were going to have a mass exodus of players especially at WR and Probably a QB or two. I believe a healthy Duck team by the end of conference play will be the best team in the conference but I’m not 100% sure Utah will be the best in the south. We can bad mouth USC all we want but I wouldn’t count them out. They will be favored in most or all of their games and if they start winning games early then look out. Only time will give us the answers. go s

Kid does some amazing things for his size. Got a great motor.

Lanning was probably licking his chops when he saw the talent in Eugene. The cupboard wasn’t left totally bare.

What happened to the bats. Not good.

Oregon has had some classy QBs that’s for sure.

That was a funny movie for sure.

MC had the best QB in the nation and didn’t get it done at Oregon, you may have heard of him, because of his stubbornness and his poor game coaching he failed players miserably. If you think the Canes will ever have a QB with that kind of talent well good luck. There is no doubt that MC is a good recruiter but if he doesn’t relinquish responsibility to his staff he will have the same problem at Miami. All those 3 and outs kill a defense by the end of the season as it did ours. Hope the fans in Miami don’t get too far over their skis and get disappointed but I don’t see any other path.

I’m with you Jon, BOTH

USC can draw just like the USFL.

Nix more than likely gets the spot but I think by years end if Butters doesn’t leave he will end up being the guy. Remember that Nix played in a much tougher conference and he has beaten Alabama. I know he threw a couple bad throws in the spring game but he also tossed some good ones and his deep balls have a very nice arc on them making the ball easier to catch. Spring games can be misleading because the strength of the team is spread around so it’s hard to get a gauge on where each QB is with the ones. I think Nix will be fine to start with and if he plays well he is more than capable of beating Georgia.

Doesn’t having more bathrooms mean you will run out of hot water more often?

Good pitching almost always beats good hitting. Just one of the facts of baseball.

I hate to admit it but I don’t see a game on Spoiled Children’s schedule that they can’t win and will probably be favored in all but 2. Possibly Utah depending on how good they might be by the middle of the season and the game is on the road and Notre Dame who they get at home. WSU is at home or that game might be a toss up. The Ducks schedule looks to be awfully tough and could be 1 and 2 before league play begins. Going to be interesting for sure.

If MC ever starts listening to others he might have a chance in Miami but we all have known people that just won’t shut up and listen and those types never change. I’m afraid he is doomed by himself.

It’s too bad we have to go back to taking MC down but he certainly deserves it. It is also to bad that he wasted a potential Heisman trophy winner with his stubbornness and inability to coach a team during a game. Even as slow a pace as the offense was he could not keep up and as I said before his defenses couldn’t keep up as well. As far as Dan and company are concerned I believe we have a much more intelligent coaching staff that are younger and their brains might work a bit faster. can’t believe I just said that. Hope I didn’t offend any old guard here but I’m in my 70s and my brain has slowed to a crawl. Took me an hour to jot this all down. So 80 plays a game! Maybe, but if not I bet my next Deshutes Hazy that they will be more fun to watch than they were the last few years and we as a group will not stress out and age any faster than we already are.

I wonder if we should be done calling these kids Student Athletes. I would think that the ones jumping around from school to school would have a hard time getting a quality education. If it wasn’t for athletics a large portion of these kids would never attend college or pass admission standards.

I’m just guessing but I’m sure the coaching staff has had sit downs with every player and discussed their future part in Eugene. Some will stay for the education but their future in college football may not be what they had hoped. I think we will see a few more changes before our trip to Georgia and I think this new staff we have will make the best moves for the team, I am confident in that. We all have comments about how young the staff is but there is NFL experience in this group not to mention a head coach that has a natty under his belt as a DC. I think DL is a good listener, unlike MC, and he has some studs to listen to. Going to be a roller coaster to start but I think things will smooth out by fall and from that point forward. Gos

Recruiting Devas is fun but if we don’t get stronger in the trenches does this really matter. Get me a Hines Ward and and a QB that can get him the ball and I will jump out of my high tops.

I can see him returning

He is dead to me

Can’t wait to see the end results of this 2023 recruiting class when it is all done. Could be epic if they can keep this staff together.
