  1. No doubt that the offense has receiving talent.
     

    Unfortunately, that talent could not been fully utilized because of other issues. The next two games DG needs a clean pocket to finally get in sync with them. I would love to get tape that shows DG making throws to all areas of the field.
     

    Need opponents to respect those capabilities. 
     

    I will be optimistic that UCLA, and MSU, are the perfect games for the team to continue an upward trajectory.

  2. They can barely fill their stadium.
     

    While that is not a prerequisite to a qualifying berth, you still need alumni support to be competitive on the national stage. Perhaps they can qualify if every bounce of the ball goes there way in the new PAC, but as stated earlier, they would just be a lower seed against a top team. 
     

    The realignment carousel is still spinning, and money wise the new PAC will be competing for media dollars with the big boy conferences. Outlook for a media contract that pays all the bills is going to be a stretch.

    I submit my idea for a trophy.
     

    The Cascadia Trophy (cascadia can be defined as a bioregion…land of falling waters)

     

    The sculpture depicts a 40 lbs. chinook salmon. A classy connection to the Pacific Northwest…one of the many fisheries/industries in the region.

     

    I would rather win this than a bronze sculpture of a 🐷.

  4. Not really a viable rivalry when the game means nothing.
     

    In conference it was meaningful because of standings, or bowl implications. For the most part, their season was a success if they beat the Ducks. 
     

    Now, they are just that annoying pothole on the drive home…I will hit it only if there is no other alternative.

    Great picture. Is that Ed Dickson after his TD catch on 4th down? 
     

    The students had piled out of the stands to rush the field. You can see them on the sidelines. 
     

    That is the year we had to win out after losing a shoot out with Stanford for a Rose Bowl berth. Masoli then ended the rodents bid for an upset by trucking the DB on 4th down to ice game.

     

    Won the last two games by a total of 7 points. 
     

    Great memories.
     

     

  6. So many great games. The pick started the ball rolling for me in football. 
     

    1999 never ending 3 OT win at home against USC in 1999.

     

    The come from behind win at home against Oklahoma and Adrian Peterson was fun. A questionable onside kick is recovered and the Ducks pull out the comeback win 34 - 33. 
     

    Kenyon Barner rushes for 321 yards against USC at the Coliseum.
