That's spot on, Charles. It's a totally different game nowadays. But it can't sustainable, can it? It's got to be much tougher for these players too (formerly student athletes), not knowing where you are going to end up year after year. But then again, the big carrot is definitely there. It's really a wild wild west where only the fittest survive and advance!

Why does the back of his jersey sometimes say "King" instead of "Hooks"?

Well written. I think a lot of OBD fans including me are starting to wonder if DL has reached his ceiling. Don't get me wrong - he is still one of the top coaches out there, especially when it comes to recruiting and motivating players. But, does he have that special ingredient that will finally get us over the hump? This year is especially tough, when we have a crazy good IU team led by what appears to be a new coaching wizard. And at the same time, the guy that DL replaced is finally peaking and could even win a Natty. I don't envy DL's mental state now, but then I also don't make his big $$$... 😁

He definitely hurt his NFL stock last night. In fact, I hope it doesn't kill his confidence even as a Ducks QB. He will need time to boune back, so playing against softer D in college may be the answer. However, college O lines also are not as good as pro, so who knows - if he managed to drop his stock enough, he may not end up with the Raiders and actually get better protection in NFL to make his throws. On the other hand, NFL is not dumb enough to miss his inability to scan the field and make good decisions. Would be interesting to see what transpires in the next few days...

Cig just changed the CFB game by his coaching alone. It's no longer about star ratings. Anyone with me when I say this - when he coaches in game and looks like staring, he is actually mind-controlling his players. That's how IU is so freaking good 😡

hahaha, I see what you did there. Mine says it too - but I did pick IU to win yesterday, by half of the points though ☹️ Agree with your 97% comment as well. We had been closer to the Natty twice before this year, so we still need to get back to at least that final game. As succucessful as OBD has been, it's just frustrating that we can't seem to get there. Being frustrated and disheartened doesn't make me less of a Duck fan. But having been a Duck fan for nearly 40 years does make me a sarcastic realist sometimes... We will heal and hope OBD and Lanning will sooner. Go Ducks!

A singing fat lady put a curse on Dan Lanning: you shall be blown out whenever you play in the state of Georgia...

Yes, we are the only team left with a hint of blue in our blood, LOL... Go Ducks!

For the first time, I predicted an OBD loss tonight. I know, I know - I am so crossing my fingers and toes that I will be wrong. But... the loss of RBs really concerns me, because it takes out the best game we had in our last matchup. So we can't even tell WS to call smart plays and run the ball to save Dante from getting sacks! It will really be up to the coaches and players to play a more-than-perfect game to win tonight, unless the Hoosiers are sleep-walking, which I am still thinking they may because are new to this.

I hope it's the fast acting type so he can infect the tacklers with it and take them out of the game! 😃

We have no running backs, so there goes the air raid idea. Poor Dante... Indiana 28-10 1 2 150 Would be happier if I am proven wrong!!!

Wow, Limar's exit made the 2nd bulletpoint after Livingstone to OK. Had no idea that he was such a big deal. It is shocking, I guess, that he would do a Kiffin by leaving his team right before a playoff game. But everyone is for himeself nowadays, isn't he?

Well, this game matters, so I would expect to see fewer bonehead game-coaching snafus from Mari. But Trinidad Chambliss is going to dazzle again and burn the Miami D. I say Ole Miss will win, by 1 score.

I don't think we want this guy. Dante - please stay.

That's my take as well, but air raid doesn't work if we don't have running game. FWIW, Oregonian says Jay Harris participated n the Monday practice. So maybe he will play...
