    It's unpopular but my opinion is Chip Kelly was gimmick.  Sure parts of his philosophy offensively is still used in various ways. But once defenses adjusted, Chips offense became very beatable.

     

    Chip is a lot like me, doesn't play well with others. He has always struggled kissing up to the backside of donors and alum. He isn't a great recruiter. He is really not that great of a coach.

     

    Chip Kelly got exposed in the NFL and at UCLA. At Oregon he caught lightning in a bottle and got a ton of luck. But at the end of the day, he lost.

     

    I am grateful for what Chip did at Oregon. He moved the cart a little/lot further down the road. But Helf, Willie, and Mariø did as well. 

     

    This has been a slow grind for Oregon to become a national power. Until they win a trophy they will not have arrived yet. Hopefully Lanning can get the Ducks over the hump. 

    All this, plus Oregon was already a good team when Chip was hired. He did not have to rebuild.

    True that.  A little bird tells me the Midwestern schools on our schedule next year are not going to put up with 7:30 pm (PST) starts.  Just guessing. 

    I think you are right.

     

    Probably the only night-starts will be when we play any of the west coast teams, and I think we play only two per year and one would probably be away. But if the B1G cares about all the conference viewers being able to enjoy all the conference games, then maybe the start times for those games would not be later than 4 or 5 pm.

  3. One quick thing to do is drive up to the top of Skinner Butte and get a nice view of the city.

     

    For Duck gear, there are Ducks Stores at Valley River Center, at the bookstore on campus (13th and Kincaid), and next to Autzen. I think on game day gear is sold inside the stadium in the concourse area too.

     

    Enjoy your visit!

    Looking forward to the gathering!

     

    My family and I will be arriving into Eugene on Friday from back East.  Excited being able to attend the game and surrounding festivities.  Does anyone knows what time tailgating starts on Saturday since it's a night time game?

     

    Welcoming all Ideas on great eating places, etc. in town?  Again, looking forward to meeting all, being able to chat about our love of everything Duck!

    The Autzen parking lot opens six hours before game time, so this week that would be 1:30 pm.
