Santa Rosa Duck

I spotted this one as AI right off the bat. An awful lot of what we see in general now is AI and the frequency is accelerating quickly. Most of what I see on Facebook regarding our Oregon DUCKS is both AI and garbage. Thank you Charles for a great must visit location every day.

The March Madness Phenomenon That Instantly Drives Fans Crazy - WSJ

I do not see how anyone could even remotely consider this political. Are we recruiting in Houthi territory?

Hey Jon, I really enjoy the insight you share in these articles. Thank you.

One heck of a game but Arizona played good enough and deserved the win IMHO.

Wall Street Journal article on our Men Ducks Basketball Travel They’re Going to March Madness—but Only After Circumnavigating the Planet - WSJ

I am remembering our performance in Game One for 2024 vs Idaho. I do not think we should be overlooking Montana State University who will surely show up with a chip on their shoulder. I say this as a happy DUCK fan who also thinks we were not well prepared for game one last year and surely not prepared for our last game against tOSU.

I still credit our one point win in Eugene to Autzen Stadium. I don't think that tOSU was prepared for our fans and the noise level. I believe that the Ohio State offense received five procedure penalties. In the rematch, to me it was clear that our DUCKS were not prepared. Oh well, six months to kick off.

Shelsted is not playing with urgency.

I thought our DUCKS played reasonably well except for the fact that Bittle was MIA on offense and defense.

Nice to see a DUCK win. I have not watched much basketball this year but am I nuts in thinking that the announcers leaned toward Penn State?

Adding fuel to the fire. Carson Becks girlfriend is Hanna Cavendar and plays on the Miami womens basketball team. The big head...................

Nice to see some good news Jon. I just realized that the Rose Bowl was just one week ago. I am doing my best to put the past in the past and look forward.

My guess is that if he was going to start at Georgia next year yet leaves to go to Ohio State, this is probably a pure example of a financial bidding war.

Thank you Jordan. Reviewing it again makes me sad again. That first game in Eugene was a great game with our DUCKS getting a big assist from Autzen Stadium. I believe the Buckeyes got five procedure penalties due to the noise. In the Rose Bowl rematch, there is no question that our DUCKS were not prepared and that is on Dan Lanning and Will Stein and Tosh Lupoi. Why were they not prepared? Not sure I understand. Dan Lannig is a great coach and I want him here for years and years but what happened? Mike Tyson once said and I paraphrase "The great plan you have all changes once you get punched in the mouth". Well we got punched and had no answer at all. It seems there is a lot to correct on both sides of the ball. I still love my DUCKS!

It is clear to me that Dan Lanning needs to go and we need to bring on Ted Lasso! I don't believe that Dan Lanning has to go, this is my dry sense of humor.

This was an amazing season and congratulations to all our players. I do not think that our coaches had us prepared for this game. How do we give up 34 unanswered points? How do we let Dillon Gabriel get sacked 8 times? How do we let Jeremiah Smith run wild with very little coverage? How does our highly rated defensive line get zero sacks and very little pressure? It will be a long off season.

Jeremiah Smith 5 receptions for 161 yards.

Will Howard has 212 yards passing already.

The only good thing happening is the music from Steely Dan.

Here is the article and it should be unlocked. Very Interesting https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/oregon-ducks-dan-lanning-e7ad32b3?st=nYRCgS&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

I guess this means we are not getting Jalen Millroe. Quite a joke was that thread.

DUCKS WIN! 36-24 2 2 327

This fun thread has been up for a while so I am taking the liberty of adding a second photo with my Doggie Cosmo and my bride. IMG_5839.heic

I expect to see our two top tight ends to have a big presence in this game. tOSU is going to try to bring pressure on Dillon Gabriel and that is going to create some opportunity for Ferg and Sadiq IMHO.
