Everybody needs to keep in mind that these rankings were likely based on their performances at Oregon. That is why you don’t see Herbert. He only ever made honorable mention All Pac-12. Also, Russ Francis only played a little more than one season in Eugene with no all-conference honors and Dan Fouts’ TD/INT ratio for his career was 37/54.

Ducks vs Bulldawgs...What's the Score?
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
UGA 31-13. I think the Duck defense will play well, but turnovers will likely give the Dawgs a short field a time or two. -
Oregon Makes Top 5 for Overrated Teams in 2022
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Babyjesus615's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I get it. They lost and entire coaching staff and their backfields on both sides of the ball. Their rank is based off of their trenches. They have tons of talent but no continuity. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were 1-2 before conference play and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were 3-0. After the Ohio State game last year anything is possible in the first couple of weeks. -

Mario Cristobal--When the Knives Come Out
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I always though the term “corch” was minted by U.S. Representative Corrine Brown during her speech to the House where she formally congratulated “Corch Irving Meyers” and the Florida Gator football team for the 2008 national championship. -

Mario Cristobal--When the Knives Come Out
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
To me, the ASU loss wasn’t the issue. The issue was that Oregon had arguably the best QB in the nation in JH, but nobody knew it. Including Mario. The fact that he was only ever Honorable Mention All-Pac 12 says a lot about his coaching. The Chargers had to be giddy about getting a great QB with low mileage. -
The Difference Between This Year and Last?
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Haywarduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
No season ending injuries every week and get stops on 3rd and 17. -
This SDS article obviously focuses on a few big SEC moments at the end, but it’s a great read. I never knew Vin Scully got his start in college football. I know everybody’s favorite call is The Pick call by Jerry Allen, but what are some of your other favorite calls? It doesn’t have to be Duck related as long as it doesn’t put USC or the fuskies in a good light. I always loved Jerry Allen’s call at the end of the 2010 Civil War. It wasn’t exciting, but the emotion he showed made it memorable. Vin Scully’s passing a reminder to celebrate legendary broadcasters and the moments they immortalize WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM Vin Scully is a reminder to celebrate all that is great about sports, including those who narrate the action.

In 2022...Do Cheerleader Photos Inspire or Offend?

They’re part of the team. Just like the band, trainers, equipment folks, etc. They all influence the game and fan experience. -
Regarding Bo Nix: Beware ‘Bandwagon Buy-In’
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
The UGA game will be telling. I’m glad that’s the one Oregon leads off with. -
I don’t think they’ll be irrelevant. The Big 10 West is Wisconsin and a bunch of cupcakes. USC will probably play in the championship game most years. They may also win their share of B1G titles. I don’t think Day is any better than Riley when it comes to coaching and recruiting. They’ll be even from a talent standpoint in a few years. I just don’t think it will happen immediately like all the pundits say.

I found this article interesting because of all the ties to the Ducks program. It goes to show you that “slam dunk” hires are not always what they seem. Neither are the non-splashy hires. This year’s rash of coaching hires will turn out the same way. There will be a lot of big names looking for jobs in 3 or 4 years. The author’s opinion on Mario’s updated ranking is interesting, but I think he got it right. I also think they got the Jonathan Smith’s re-ranking absolutely correct. He’s definitely top 3 in that class. Nearly 5 years later, we can already say that the 2017 coaching cycle was a total train wreck WWW.SATURDAYDOWNSOUTH.COM It's crazy to think about how quickly that cycle went south.

Samu Taumanupepe Postpones Commitment Date
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to DuckIt's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Yeah, but PK is a business man. I don’t know if paying an 18 year old 10X the money he payed Jordan in his first shoe contract makes good business sense to him. Especially if the dude transfers after his payday. Oregon needs players for sure, but not guys like Quinn Ewers. A&M and Texas set a precedent of free $$$ for everybody because they have a ton of wealthy boosters who are embarrassed they haven’t won in years. Uncle Phil doesn’t strike me as that type. He’s the kind of guy who is glad to give but also have something to show for it (I.e. facilities, gear/equipment, etc.). I’m sure he would give a great NIL deal to a proven player, but giving huge money to a HS player doesn’t make good business sense. -

Phil Knight has been in the endorsement game for many years now. I think he knows that guys who can sell Nike straight out of HS are very rare. He may play the waiting game since the transfer portal has become a free-for-all.
