Just Ducky

Does your family love Eugene?

I don’t think the pressure is on the Ducks either. Dan is not expected to win this game but there is little doubt that they have the ability and talent to do so. If the players will buy in, which I think is already a fact, and execute like the studs they are then there is little doubt to me they will cover the spread. The key will be is to win the turnover battle and if they do that they will not only cover but win this game. go s

My favorite Duck back. That was a truly great game by a great college back. The hit he took up at WSU, cheap shot I might ad, set his career back but this guy had the perfect body type and speed for college football. By the way the O line and receivers blocked their arses off in that one. Thanks Smith for the flashback.

Truly a great college running back. The Ducks have had many. Bobby Moore Royce Freeman Kenyon Barner Johnathan Stewart DAT I’m sure I've left out a few. Bring back the ground attack, makes passing so much easier. Thanks for the flashback Smith.

Bob Knight did similar stuff almost every game or practice and managed to survive a long time. My favorite was the chair toss, excellent form.

This is just one event but there are many times that Duck players got stupid penalties during games and some after the whistle. Just ads to the evidence that the culture at Oregon was not as good as MC seemed to pretend it was. Can’t see him changing anytime soon. Man was not loyal to his players or the parents he made promises to. DL is already miles ahead to me in that department.

They absolutely should considering the money they have spent on the nil and portal not to mention Riley’s contract. Not sure if they have ever spent more.

The best receivers in football aren’t worth much when their QB is on his backside.

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.
