    College Football Playoff: How Can Oregon Make It?

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    Thanks for the well thought out article Ryan. I feel you nailed everything down fairly well.

     

    The one thing I hope does not happen is a close, well fought game, between UM and tOSU for the B1G championship. I feel a one score win by UM could cause trouble for the Ducks.

     

    One thing is for sure, none of this matters if our Ducks don't win out. GO DUCKS!

    Lanning: 'I’m Not Going Anywhere'

    What Dan did was the single most impactful recruiting move that he could have possibly made. 

    That was my first thought as well.

     

    I was confident Coach Lanning plans on staying in Eugene for years to come.

    But, I'm glad he made that perfectly clear to EVERYONE nationwide.

     

    A four year commitment is HUGE for a 17 year old kid and his family. This kind of loyalty will prove very fruitful.

    Behind a pay wall, John Canzano posted  his weekly mailbag10 mins ago and yes, the big questions were about Dan and TAMU. John said he does not  think Dan is going anywhere.   He commented that he thinks Dan has clearly seen what has transpired with his predecessors who left.  He also said he believes Dan realizes he is sitting in one of the best jobs in college football and wants stability for his family.

     

    John also said he thinks Dan will address it tonight in his presser.

    Yes. But, John also thought the Pac-12 would stay together.

    Visiting Eugene for Game - What Else To Do?

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    I typically start at The Beer Garden (on 6th) after a couple of pints off of their great tap list... I waddle over to the Ninkasi Living Room for a quick bite (and another pint). This experience will take you through what is called the Whiteaker neighborhood. It has a very Eugene feel to it. Might be a shock for Midwesterners.

     

    If you're feeling a little more sophisticated you might want to stop by The Gordon (near 5th St Market). Great mixed drinks and a more modern feel in the lobby. There is also a bar on top (can't remember the name). But, it has a fun vibe to it as well.

     

    Game day. Yes, there are pay lots for parking. Then just walk all the lots around the stadium. Tailgaters are friendly and welcoming (as long as your carrying your own beverages).

     

    Swag. The Duck Store next to the stadium.

     

    Have fun, be safe. Use a cab/Uber/or walk if needed.

     

    ... and Welcome to Oregon! GoDucks!

    Bye-Bye, Bryan Addison

    I believe he is sitting out and will transfer at the end of the season, and tons of teams would want an experienced safety such as he.  (Like Oregon next year?)

    Things that make you go... Hmm!

    Did Lanning Get His Wings Clipped?

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    I do not feel as if Coach Lanning had his wings clipped.

     

    If anything, I see mid-season stress on a young coach. We are at that point in the season when EVERYTHING ramps up. With each passing week the intensity rises and rises. There is a reason these coaches make the kind of money they do. IT'S STRESSFUL!!!

    Ok, the huskies are the reason we have a middle finger. Insulting the huskies is really only describing them.

     

    I actually am grateful for the huskies. I almost forgot to put the garbage out this morning, and then I remembered the huskies, grateful.

    Thanks for the reminder... I need to put my garbage out tonight!

     

    Never thought about it. But, my garbage does look a lot like Husky's hometown.

    I definitely feel our Ducks have a great chance to run the table this year.

     

    UW appears to be the largest obstacle. But, I feel good about that game.

     

    Utah in SLC is usually more daunting than it feels this year. USC is way over-hyped.

     

    Then there are those pesky Beavers... But, their offense won't keep up.

     

    Bo stays healthy and plays freely... sky is the limit.

    Of the Best Pac-12 Teams, Oregon is Built Differently

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted

    Thanks David! I love the way this roster/team are coming together. Coach Lanning is building something special.

     

    I am not worried about USC. That defense simply will not be able to run the table in the Pac.

     

    UW is the most concerning for me as a Duck fan. Playing in Seattle is never easy and I feel their D-line may slow our run game better than others we have faced. There are some big boys on that line that move fairly well.

     

    That being said... Oregon has played well in Seattle in recent years and our Ducks have weapons all over the field not just the backfield. Many haven't even manifested themselves yet.

     

    The Ducks ARE BUILT DIFFERENTLY! Who knew a Pac team could have both an offense and a defense?... Dan knew.
