One of the most glaring questions I have is: "Just how bad are our backup QBs?"
To have left Nix in ALL GAME, for what was truly a terrible performance, AND a historically horrendous season opening game, I think begs this question.
I think this was posted on one of the other threads, but it does address the issue of leaving Nix in

I have to say, Charles, that the defense today was a surprise to me--I wasn't expecting that.

Lanning did say it would take around 5 years of "watering the bamboo before it grows" (or something along that line.)

Could make it interesting for coaches on deciding on recruiting high school players and "shopping" in the portal.

Who is/are the people behind this Eugene NIL Club?

This will give you information about UO parking. Scroll down to the map and you'll see the Millrace Garage, which is right by a path that leads to Autzen. If you turn right just as you get to the garage, there has been a lot that provides parking for Duck games for $10 (as of last year, anyway). If you turn left just as you reach the Millrace Garage it takes you to a lot where I think you can pay by phone and I believe that's $15. But get there early. If you click on the map, it gets large enough to read the names of the roads.
Other parking at the UO just be sure you don't park by a sign that says "Reserved at all times."

Wtih the Ducks having an entirely new set of coaches, including a HC who has not been a HC before, and QBs who have never started a game for the Ducks, I don't know what to think about the game against Georgia, or the entire season, for that matter.

When I go for walks in my neighborhood in Eugene, I and others walking greet and chat with each other all time.

I can give you the map, but others here would know better the qualities of the various pubs and breweries.
I think there will probably be plenty of tailgaiting in the morning, both at Autzen and across the street. Again, others can provide details.
Hope you have a fun time in Eugene!

Back in the olden days when I played field hockey in high school there was actually a theory that drinking water at half time was somehow bad for you, so all we got were orange sections for a source of liquid. Crazy then, crazy now.

I seem to remember that it was Cusano who used to step to the sideline after a good play and make a giant "O" with his arms--this was before the "O" with hands now.

And I imagine that vomit spewing all around adds to the spread of germs (anything from colds to who-knows-what).

Whenever Coach Campbell was a speaker at Daisy Ducks he always brought 2 or 3 players with him--miss him!

I think there are 7 Freshmen/Redshirt FR, and 4 sophomore O-Linemen, so at least the cupboard is not bare, and maybe there will be commits or portal transfers this fall.

"You might recall the story a player recounted in a FishDuck interview where he stated that Lanning was “brilliant” as the coach called out plays and defensive coverages in the Super Bowl…before they actually happened?"
The key being that "they actually happened." For a time I sat next to former high-school football coach who would call out plays--90% of which were wrong!

And sorry, it looks like more night games are coming.
"In theory, it could offer weekly kickoffs at 7:30 p.m. Pacific on Friday and Saturday night for 13 weeks. That's 26 games, with little or no competition, in primetime windows for the West Coast and Mountain Time Zone audiences."
The only night games I watch are Duck games, and then I'm in my jammies ready for the 20-second walk to the bedroom as soon as the game ends. I can't believe that the audience/money for a night game compares to say, a 12:30 start time, especially in the Central and Eastern Time zones where almost no one watches West Coast night games.

Interesting how several of us remember "Only you can prevent forest fires." In 200l the line was changed to "Only you can prevent wildfires," and that is the slogan today. But I grew up hearing "forest fires" and that's what I still think even when I hear the new slogan.

That's what SC/UCLA are selling... By comparison, Furd's trip is shorter.
BTW, my wife and I are hoping to make the same short trip to watch this game, if the airlines cooperate. Last chance before our daughter graduates from ND!
Hope you get to go to the game, and Congratulations to your daughter!

Stanford to South Bend, a short distance? "Only" a little over 2,000 miles?

Looking forward to seeing Dillingham's offense. But I saw that he is only 32 years old--I think I have Duck T-shirts older than that!

“If these (Big Ten) deals go through, then next up will be the Pac-12, which ESPN likes because of its late night windows,” Marchand wrote.
It this means more stinking night games, I am not going to be a happy camper.

I think the players have worn pink before, though not sure if it was on the numbers.
Otherwise I don't notice any striking differences in the unis.

To Mario...two things are most important; toughness and loyalty. He played Anthony Brown almost exclusively because he was showing underclassmen to wait your turn because he will be "loyal" to you when your turn comes.
When Cristobal heard the boos, (and knew it was directed at him) I believe he regarded that as a betrayal by the "ungrateful" Oregon fans, the worst thing you can do in his world, and that is being "disloyal."
After he got over the shock? I believe he made the "I'm headed to Miami" decision, and that was when....the Cal game? In his mind--we deserved to be dumped, and did not deserve his full attention because of such terrible disloyalty....
If this is true, it will be interesting to see what happens if Miami has a so-so season or two. Will the fans give him a chance and stick with him, or will there be some boos in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium? And if there should be boos, how will he react?
-
My feeling is that since Mario is no longer the coach at Oregon that I don't have all that much interest in him anymore. He recruited well at Oregon, took the team to PAC-12 championships, but sometimes lost games that it certainly seems shouldn't have been lost, and left in a way that left a sour taste in the mouth in that he seemed to be out the door by the middle of November. But for good or ill, he's Miami's coach now. I'd much rather focus on Dan Lanning and the Ducks.

Kirby Smart - 2016 First Season at Georgia
in Our Beloved Ducks
Posted
Earlier this year Coach Lanning referred to "watering the bamboo."
A Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to grow. It has to be watered and fertilized in the ground where it has been planted every day. It doesn't break through the ground for five years. After five years, once it breaks through the ground, it will grow 90 feet tall in five weeks!
While I hope it will be sooner than five years, I also didn't expect to see major improvements right away. One game at a time.
