The Ducks got pummeled at home. I won’t even mention the team. Never needs to see the light of day again.

Is Bo Nix Winning the Heisman a Total Pipe Dream?
Drake replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Ducks need to beat Georgia, average +40 pts/game, then beat a highly ranked media darling USC team for the PAC 12 Championship (Ducks have already throttled a highly ranked Utah at home and put them out of PAC title contention). Stranger things have happened. I can be a cup half full guy. Kind of stinks to say zero chance before any snap of the ball has taken place. Bo Nix starts and finishes the season and accomplishes those things, then he is in the conversation. -
Holy Crap! LaGarrette Blount's Side of 'The Punch'

Go look up Legarrette and tell him he is lying….lol -
Holy Crap! LaGarrette Blount's Side of 'The Punch'
Drake replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Tough situation. I always thought that Blount was reacting to a racist comment from that kid. There should have been punishment of that BS moron as well. When he states that “This ain’t about football no more” , I agree 100%. -
Jurrion Dickey Hauls In Beautiful TD Pass From QB Rashada

Need to coach him up regarding the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for spinning the football in college : ) -
Broke Your Own Rules? Are You Going to Clean it Up Charles?

Btw…the panic attack by that cat is hilarious. Good luck trying to ever give that thing a bath. -
Skiing Video Anyone? Markus Eder…'The Ultimate Run,' A 10-Minute Gem
Drake replied to Drake's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thanks for information. Some of those jumps which I assume is in the Alps are amazing. He looks very comfortable literally flying down that mountain. What he is doing is incredibly difficult, and he makes it look easy. -
Canzano: Take a Hard Pass on LIV Golf at Pumpkin Ridge
Drake replied to Maebee's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
With the majors, The Masters, USGA (US Open), The PGA Championship, and the R&A (The Open Championship) most of the top players in the world will stay with the PGA. The LIV tour maybe more like a venue for the +40 crowd and lower ranked players to make some money. To me, it’s like the USFL, good players that are competing, but I am just not interested in following the league. -
Any more of the Crouser family have college age kids available? A display of titles and awards from just that family alone is impressive. Never hurts to have world class javelin, discus, or shot put people on the track team.

Pac-12 Football Transfers: USC, Oregon Ready to Make Impact
Drake replied to Smith72's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I like that scenario. I am no so sure they will fall flat on their face. However, the rest of the PAC 12 will sure be sick and tired of hearing how they are going to dominate the conference. I say, Not so fast Troy boys. You haven’t won anything yet. Let’s see where you stand at the end of November. -
Buddy of mine has the convertible GT. Pearl white, with a deep rumble note from the exhaust. Beautiful car. Stock photo below.

Micah is in the first heat.

Bo Nix’s Picks: Can You Live With Them?
Drake replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
AB was ranked 7th in our conference in passing yards per game. With that high of a completion percentage that tells us what we already know…most of his passes were completed relatively close to the line of scrimmage. I can live with a completion percentage around 60% if we are throwing the ball downfield more often. QB 1 will definitely determine how far this team can go. I remain very optimistic. -
No Roses for the Beavers--Memories from 2008 (and 2009)
Drake replied to Drake's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The beauty of that is the guys painted orange and shirtless slowly getting hypothermia as the get annihilated…lol -
Entertaining flash back. The crowd shots made me laugh. The first of back to back years the Ducks kept the rodents out of the Rose Bowl. Hope you enjoy . (If it doesn’t play, click on YouTube on the bottom corner)

Yeah Baby! 'It’s Not the Way We TALK, It's About WHAT WE DO'
Drake replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Football gets real at this level. Absorbing hits at full speed by these guys could end up being a very bad day. -
Oregon Will Not Pay Top-NIL for QBs: Should They?
Drake replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
My thoughts go to an example like Justin Flowe. He has a good year and he could be off to the NFL….really hope to see him dominate this year, but would be sad to see him leave. Paying huge NIL $$$$ for a player that plays for one year under this scenario certainly doesn’t generate the “return” anticipated (not knocking down Flowe, just an example ). These types of scenarios will play out over the next few years and I hope will bring some sanity to how NIL is approached by each team. While the “big name” QB recruits will probably always generate more NIL revenue under the current system. There will definitely be problems in some locker rooms between the “haves and have nots”. Young men with lots of cash…what could go wrong? Someone is probably writing a movie script as we speak reflecting this type of scenario. A more sensible approach to the NIL payouts to be inclusive of all the players is what I would recommend if I had a voice inside of Division Street. -
Kind of makes you want to dance.

What I like about Coach Lanning is that he didn’t wait around hoping something good would happen because of his work ethic. He went out and created opportunities for himself. In a very short time he went from a high school position to working for some very prestigious coaching staffs in the college ranks. He connects with the players, but perhaps more importantly he connects with coaches and has gained their respect. While I expect some bumps in the road because of the learning curve associated with coaching at an elite level. I anticipate that those bumps get smoothed out quickly. Oregon could be a dream job for him. Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment, would you capture it? Or let it slip? I think Lanning and his staff will capture it even if their palms are sweaty, knees weak and arms are heavy… Look forward to watching his team and staff drop some bombs on the PAC 12.

Huffing Huskies: 'Washington is NOT Headed Down!'
Drake replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Point is, we were a LOT closer to a 9-3 year than folks want to admit." They spent all Spring and Fall practicing to hang 7 points on the Grizzlies last year. Seems to me they were much closer to 3 - 9. -
Memorial Day, A day set aside to remember those who have served in our military services. May we have gratitude to the the many brave men and women who sacrificed their lives, or sustained injury in mind and, or body in the course of their service.
