The Ducks lost in SLC to Utah in 2018 by a score of 25-32. The last team to win at Rice-Eccles was USC in 2020.

Last year was their first season in FBS and they would’ve played in the Sun Belt CG, but first year teams are automatically ineligible for conference championships. The Sun Belt is no joke. They have a lot of ranked teams and JMU beat App State and Coastal Carolina. They’re a team to be reckoned with.

Oregon 45-31 1 TO 3 sacks 281

I got rid of cable and I mainly use IPTV. It just requires an internet connection and a smart TV for the app. I pay $14 a month for 3 devices. I get about 10K channels which includes movies, all sports (ESPN, FS, B1G, PAC 12, etc.)and entertainment channels and live TV which means every network channel in all major US cities. So, if I want to watch Chargers/Broncos I can tune into the CBS Los Angeles affiliate or the Denver affiliate. I also get the UFC PPV fights for free which is an added bonus.

We Americans love our regional beers. I remember thinking Henry’s was the best thing going when I was in my early 20’s. I had a buddy from Pittsburgh who swore by Iron City beer. He would bring a case or two back to the West Coast for us to drink. It was decent but nothing great. But, he was proud of it because Iron City marketed themselves as the blue collar sports fan’s beer. One of the potential great things about going to the B1G is going to away games and experiencing the regional beers and foods.

It’s basically just an amber lager. Nothing too impressive. It’s not sold west of Kansas and Oklahoma. If you make it to the East Coast make sure to try one. If only for the reason that it’s the oldest brewery in the U.S.

I like grilled meat as much as anyone, but if I’m arriving the day of the game then I’ll usually stop and get fried chicken and sides from Popeyes or Bojangles. I just stick with Miller Lite or Yuengling as far as beer goes. I’ll also have a bit of bourbon sometimes if the weather is a little cooler.

The new Nike throwback collection just came out for retail purchase, soI think they’re wearing these for Homecoming this weekend.

I like the bar. It has a lot of good drink possibilities.

Yep. I went to college an hour from there. Gotta love the “Ark-La-Tex” It’s a mix of Hogs, Tigers, Sooners, Aggies/Horns fans. Every one of them has a superiority complex. They hate the PAC 12 because USC and Oregon were making moves on their talent pool.

I usually don’t have a problem watching but I will flip back and forth to watch a better matchup if it’s on during the same time slot. This weekend I’m going to Williams-Brice to see the Gamecocks/Gators, but I’ll try to keep up with the Ducks on my phone. Every now and then I like to leave the house to see a live CFB game….and tailgate. I actually live closer to Chapel Hill and would love to see the Heels/Canes, but the UNC football atmosphere is akin to Cal and Stanford. It’s hard to believe that they are the same fans that fill the Dean Dome.

I had this game pegged as a loss from the beginning of the season, so: 38-42 Washington 0 TO’s 2 Sacks 257 passing yards

I think I learned to waterski at a young age at a lake near Oakridge. All I can remember is they had a cement beach/swim area that burned the heck out of your feet.

They’re pretty much doing what we’re doing here. Sitting around trashing their rivals to make themselves feel good about their situation. And both of us are in great situations. One will just be a little greater after Saturday. However, the chance of these two teams playing again in Vegas is pretty good.

The quote button on Log Haulin’s post doesn’t work so, this is in response to the Husky shoe. Outlet stores are where companies send their merchandise that they can’t get rid of. You will never see a pair of Duck Nike’s in the bargain basement.

The Texas fan thinks Washington is otherworldly since his team got killed by them in the Alamo Bowl. The reality is Texas was very average last year.

I think this guy fits his staff’s culture a little better.

I would hope they stay with the current format. An FCS, a G5 and a P5 opponent. I would like to see them stick with the former PAC 12 (now Big 12) teams as the P5 opponent. As a coach, I wouldn’t want to cross the Rocky Mountains for non-conference games. I sure as heck wouldn’t take my team to Atlanta again for a preseason kickoff classic. They can come out to Vegas or LA.

First things first. Mario never lost to Washington as HC at Oregon. He actually won a lot of big games and put a Rose Bowl trophy in the case. With that said, he never put teams away in big games. The 2018 Stanford game and 2019 Auburn game were one bad snap away from being blowouts, but we let them hang around and beat us in the end. However, he has the uncanny ability to win games he has no business winning. The 2018 Washington and 2021 Ohio State games come to mind. I would bet a good amount of money that he knocks off a big rival like a Florida State or UNC this year. He knows how to feed the beast. Unfortunately his style cost him a game last night. I didn’t know until today, but Miami has had the final possession in all of their wins this season and have never kneeled. They have always ran a running play.

Every season that Mario screws up like this the Ducks beat Washington in that same season.

Then he says, “I should have stepped in . . . and said take a knee there.” This is why he can’t keep a coordinator for more than two seasons. They’re not getting poached. They’re constantly searching for other jobs because they’re tired of getting thrown under the bus.

I had to add this Tweet from the article Jon posted. One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes. It’s fitting because George was getting fired in this scene.

What is this “wrist” phenomenon? I don’t recall this fine young man doing this at Autzen Stadium.
