I like the way that overtime works. Seems that a fair number of hockey games were decided in overtime.

Streak started.

Had to add the gunfight scene above….try to count the rounds out of Charlie’s pistol.

Who are the Ducks? They are one good seasons campaign away from a title with the talent we have now. To win you need to have a little luck avoiding injuries, and a schedule that minimizes long stretches of slugfests against other conference contenders. I am not a fan that believes that a title defines the Ducks. It would be more of a FINALLY moment for me. Hope we get it done, but winning 12 to 13 games a year is accomplished in the BIG by elite level teams. We simply are consistently one of the “Best Teams” who hasn’t won a title, for at least the last 20 years. I will not include the 80 years, or so, before that.

He was in many very good movies, if you like Open Range, then you have to like the Lonesome Dove mini series. I always laugh during the Open Range gunfight scene. Charley Waite’s (Costner) Colt revolver has a seemingly endless supply of ammo. Seems like he racks off 16 to 18 shots without reloading, fans about 8 to 9 rounds into one guy. I will generally rewatch it I have the time. Another good role was in the Great Santini. He definitely is an unlikeable character, but in line with his characters hard nosed style as a leader of men, he performs a selfless act of heroism at the end. A bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

Sign is just a suggestion….looks good to me. Wood bridge in Oregon that has thousands cross…more surprised that it lasted this long. They better have a few extra batteries and blades for that sawzall, if that is all they are using. I like how the guy has his tools scattered all around. Apparently a lot easier to find.

Yardy Rum Bar…Chef was semifinalist for James Beard award. If you don’t like their food, you might like some rum. Otherwise, I am looking for clean and easy, since I am usually not staying long.

I think that is inevitable. Winning on the road consistently against teams that have fans that hate your team is not easy.

Money will ultimately decide. The fans vote with eyes on the media broadcasts. Media execs are probably already in the ear of the conferences, they will offer a bag of money, and that will be how this plays out. The Basketball tourney started at 8, went to 16, and finally landed on 64 in 1988, and if you count play in games 68 now. The difference is that the NCAA is on the sidelines with the current CFP, and probably wants more control/money out of a deal.

Apparently it is tough to recruit at Nebraska as well. Btw…some of us ran businesses where 9 to 5 was for the employees.

Scott Frost…Mr. It is tough to recruit to Oregon guy. A little late in the game to be lamenting over decisions made years ago. I think i would ride off into the sunset, and leave the luggage behind. Otherwise might as well call out who forced your hand, and really muddy Nebraska waters.

He also knows that his skill level is not NFL level under pressure. Watching the Super Bowl is a reminder that a top level defense forces QBs to get the ball out in about 2 seconds just to survive. Then you actually need to complete the pass to guys wearing the same uniform.

Fans became the victims. The cost of chasing a trophy that in the scheme of our families lives, means absolutely nothing. Another alternative was to rebuild conference with the rodents, and cougs. That keeps ticket prices lower, but….

I have been to Hayward only once since the rebuild. Loved the old, and the rebuild is amazing. I will say that season tickets for Seahawks would be around $11k for comparable seats. Duck tickets are a bargain…lol But, I get it. The $20 million NIL revenue share is a budget killer. The total budget expenditures a year, or so ago, was $150 million. Having a surplus of less than $2 million is razor thin for that size of a budget. A budget shortfall requires the athletic department to get on the phone to donors. As fans, in all of Oregon’s sports venues, we are literally inside a venue paid by the contributions of all of Oregon’s donors. ( all season ticket holders) So, thanks for contributing.
