Future Non-Conference Games in the Big-Ten?
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Thomallister1291's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
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.

Brock Ostweiler is the color commentator.

I Wonder How the "Meltdown" Fans Feel Now?
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
There isn’t a fan base in D1 football that doesn’t melt down from time to time. The higher the expectations from fans, the bigger the melt downs. Just listen to the Paul Finebaum show and you’ll know what I’m talking about. A couple of years back I heard one caller tell Paul he had the paramedics show up and run him to the ER because he was having chest pains after Bama let Ole Miss jump out to a 21 point lead. Bama eventually came back but this dude got himself all worked up over a ball game. I guess it does mean more down there. I look at it this way. I made it through the 2015 Alamo Bowl, so I have built up quite an immunity mental strain caused by a football game. -

The season is still young, but when you have a reliable defense you don’t need to make desperate 4th down calls in your own end of the field. -
How Tough Will The Dawg Game Be?
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Haywarduck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I read on Twitter from some folks who were there that he warmed up after Halftime and looked healthy. I think he was held out so that he would be ready for Washington and because DL knew that Stanford was done scoring for the day. -

Too bad they don’t give Heisman Trophies to TE’s. Bowers is certainly worthy. -
Beavers vs. Utes: Who is Your Pick?
DrJacksPlaidPants replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I think the Utes winning streak sans Cam Rising comes to an end in Corvallis. Beavis wins 20-10.
