Happy Thanksgiving my Duck friends.

Didn’t the ball hit him in the face mask? In my opinion, Chris Miller era marked the start of Oregon’s rise from the ashes. We had good starters in those years, but no depth.

Nobody stops Davison with an arm tackle. He really has good vision, and is elusive for a big guy. A lot of big backs in high school just run over smaller defensive backs. Look forward to watching him become our feature back.

Took my son to a game at fusky stadium years ago. Walking back to car, after our win, three skinny drunk fusky students grabbed my Duck hat and told me to try to take it back from them. I should have walked away, but having wrestled for years, I took that challenge. After a short skirmish, I got my hat back from the moron that grabbed it. Luckily for me, the other two kids stayed out of it. I still have that hat. During the Hate the fuskys week, I usually get a text from my son asking if I wrestled any kids in the parking lot.

It would be interesting to see the AD’s realistic list of candidates vs. the candidates that rodent fans think they can attract. If I were the agent of whom they hire, I would make it a habit of verifying that paychecks cleared each payday…lol

I like that we are somewhat off the radar this season. However, schedulers did us no favors this year. Back to back rival type games to finish the season. SUC on an uptick with playoff hopes is a solid team that you have to outscore. Immediately followed by the pups, a decent team with nothing to lose. We are battling for the CFP, and a playoff game at Autzen. They want to poop on our plate. Oregon being nationally televised in both games shows that we are not completely under the radar. College football at it's finest.

Chip is not about the team. Chip is all about himself, and hiring him erodes what I perceive as a strong part of the culture that DL is building at Oregon. Being prepared for the inevitable loss of assistants is a part of being a top program. Oregon, under DL, is a very attractive opportunity for OC’s with an eye on putting together a strong resume for a HC position. Oregon should already have better candidates on their list.

Oh my, insulted by some grumpy old SUC fans. Same fans that are relieved when their schedule doesn’t include Oregon. Sorry SUC, this year you can’t avoid us.

He was the Idaho State Champion in the 100 meters as a junior. Solid straight line speed gives him a decent chance to see the field.

Rodent fan does not understand the economics of college sports. He should be asking how they will fund existing costs of their sports programs with less revenue than they had last year. Like it, or not, collegiate sports generates huge costs for a University’s athletic department. Hoping for teams to join a sinking ship conference is not a good business strategy.

It is difficult to make any rodent mascot look cool. Maybe it looks cute on the cheerleaders…

“When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.” I went to a bar and asked for a drink. The bartender asked me what I wanted. “Surprise me”, I said. So he showed me a naked picture of my wife. Rodney Dangerfield.

Oli, you are a Duck warrior.

Tired of Canzano. The demise of the PAC12 is old news. Things change, and the future is uncertain….we get it. NIL quickly changed collegiate sports. Athletic budgets have exploded. AD’s were once relationship managers to the alumni for needed donations to fill budget gaps. Today, those budget gaps are getting bigger, and require AD’s to have a higher level of business acumen to increase revenues. Staying competitive in any business requires innovation and investment. Oregon’s rise to relevance was not accomplished overnight. Oregon has been innovative, and invested. For now, we are reaping the rewards.
