Ha! In my mind this is EXACTLY how it went... followed by "But, I love you like a son."

David, this article nailed it! It perfectly described the shortfalls of the MC era, explained the frustrations that fans felt, and outlined the thought process DL must adhere to get Oregon Football back. Thank you!

He is the younger brother of a real Duck.

Yes. But, USC fans see this as being undefeated!

Like Dan Lanning said in a past interview... "this isn't 7 on 7 football."

I agree with many of your opinions. But, I must point out that Missouri is in the Midwest... not The South. Granted the Midwest is not the same as PNW... it is far more similar than The South.

and then... He smoked it ALL!

I will say John Canzano's articles of late have been great. O-Live must have really had him on a tight leash. He has really been showing the human side of sports. Now I actually look forward to his emails. I really hope Dan and Sauphia learn to love Eugene and raise their children all through their school years here. It would be great for their kids and incredible for Duck fans.

I don't mind being called overrated. I'm pretty sure from a distance UO probably does look overrated. Luckily we all follow Duck football closer than the national media. We have all the reason in the world to feel confident in this team and our new (and unproven) coaches. Maybe we should pull a Charles and jump on some online gaming site!

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as a rule!

I love this statement by Malchow: "I bought my first house in Eugene... Hopefully, we can stop bouncing around and establish some roots," I really think much of this staff considers this long term! Great news!!

Not overly impressive now. But, I trust the coaches see something in him. His stock will likely be much higher at the end of his senior (hs) season.

Being that the article was written by a UO graduate... I'll take it with a grain of salt. But, I love me some salt!

Yes, USC has some great skill players. But, their OL is VERY suspect. This isn't 7 man football.

I agree that DeBoer is a great coach and I think he could possibly turn that mess up north around in 3-4 years. The good news for us Duck fans is the delusional alum/fan base probably will not give him that much time. I really hope I'm wrong as I miss getting excited for a good UO/UW game.

Yes! Get them now!

First injury of the year... I just separated my should running through the wall of my office! Go Ducks!!!

That was a good read. Thanks for posting!

I'm requesting a scoreboard shot if the Ducks pull off the win!

Versatile. I foresee this team being able to adjust during a game when needed.

I feel... If they are at a school sanctioned event, fully clothed in team gear, they are part of Oregon athletics. They should be supported, recognized, and treated just like any other athlete.

I love to her this: “Well first, the pillars and our DNA traits. Connection. Coach Lanning emphasizes that connection is really important because if you have no connection, there’s no rhythm or there’s no… you can’t really play with one another if you don’t have that connection. Lanning wants a team... not a bunch of talented individuals.

99 from the middle! Reminds me of a young DeForest Buckner! and yes, I know DeFo was #44 at UO.

I'm not buying into any hype. But, I'm confident that between Bo, Ty, and Butters.... Our QB play will be far better than anything AB did. As long as this proves we'll be just fine.

I loved that he pointed out a couple facts that have to jab USC a bit. 1) Only 1 of 9 teams to have played for a NC in the last 12 years... and did so twice. 2) Top ten in TV viewership. #1 in the Pac12.
