This makes me so happy! My all time favorite Duck!

We have gained some great Georgia fans on this site. I will be cheering them on as well. Another thing. I REALLY do not want the Big 12 to win a championship before the PAC. Oregon NEEDS to be the first non-SEC/B1G national champion in the playoff era.

As a designer I 100% agree. The example that stands out to me is the Dallas Cowboys. I think their helmet by itself is beautiful. It may very well be the perfect silver. But, the silver of their pants is absolutely horrible and pretty much clashes completely with the helmets. Our ducks designers get it right 95% of the time. But, when they miss... they miss BIG!!!

I do not have any tattoos. But, have zero issues with this one. Hey, coach can I have your wife's #?

I would put the over/under at 9.5

After a little research this hire sounds promising. Dante Bartee has ties to the west coast. He went to ASU. Coached high school ball in the Phoenix area, went on to assist at Cal before moving eastward. He seems to have excelled everywhere he has been and is on a fast-track within the coaching community. One of the articles I scanned claims he has ties to the Georgia coaching tree (not exactly sure how). I'm sure coach Lanning knows exactly what he is getting. Seems to be another great young enthusiastic hire.

Yeah, kind sounds like Harbaugh is try to jump ship much like Chip did with the whole Willie Lyles thing.

100% agree with this. We need the kind of speed that drops jaws. Speed that opposing teams (and their fans) have never seen. Think Devon vs WSU, Barner vs USC, LaMichael vs Tenn, or DAT vs KSU. That kind of SPEED!!!

Birch and/or Lucas would be wonderful gets. Lanning and Co. may be putting a completely different team on the field next year. As long as it is a step forward (which it looks to be) I'll be happy. I'm already excited for some Duck football.

I love live sports. I attend as many games or races as my work and personal obligations allow. But, in the last eight years I have not been able to justify in my mind a bowl game. They just do not mean as much as they used to. PERIOD. Coaching changes, opt-outs, player dissatisfaction with the destination, these all have added to the lack of interest I have in going. I think this is one reason CFB thinks they can get away with these price tags for the championship game. It is the one after season game that all parties are all in and focused. It is the only bowl game left that truly matters. The 12 playoff may change things for me. But, I'm going in very skeptical that it will.

That article also doesn't clarify when the players found out. There was a night and day difference in effort after halftime.

My first thought as well. But, it went a little more specific: "My mom and girlfriend want me to go to OU. But, I'll transfer to UO as soon as we breakup."

As Haywarduck alluded to. There has not been a defensive "field general" since Troy Dye. I loved Noah. But, he was not a true leader IMO. He lacked understanding of the entire defense. Hopefully one of our returning players (or a transfer) can become the field general this defense needs. Obviously we need coaches to develop the young guys and teach the scheme. But, having a true leader out on defense would go a long way in getting this team over the hump from good to great. There is nothing like getting an earful while out on the field from someone you respect.

I think we all expected it. But, it sure is nice to KNOW it!

Yeah, strange. Hope he recovers.

Shame on you 3 times Charles. We sentence you to (only) 3 NWIPA's while re-watching of the Georgia, Washington, and OSU games. That should teach you!

The Pac has a chance to go 4-1 in bowl games. I'm gonna go ahead and add the two deserter's results to the B1G's record. The Pac may be the nations best conference based solely on this.

I heard B1G is trying to give them back!

But, I thought USC fans said they deserved to be in the playoffs!

I'll agree with this! Ha!

Dawgs have turned this game around quickly! Impressive.

It is quite impressive. I'm always looking for things to post. By the time I find ANYTHING Pennsylvania Duck has already posted it. AMAZING!!!

I'm pretty sure it is now posted on youtube as well. Either way you are covered. It is worth watching!

Oh man, what a nasty week to be without power and heat. Hope it comes back soon. Hang in there.

Since Whittingham is a Locklyn guy I feel he'll stay in the running back room. But, he will likely get some reps in the slot. So many weapons... so much fun!
