I t was far better to exercise patience and wait for this. Oh, how sweet it was.

Ducks could win the next 30 games, but this will always be the reason why each win will be sweeter than the last.

Michigan State is playing OSU at the Horseshoe that weekend. Columbus could be a contender.

I don’t think AB is the reason why this team won’t win a national championship. They stand a good chance of not winning a Pac 12 championship as well. Here’s why (and I’m not going to say anything that everyone doesn’t already know). They cannot play a complete game. From Fresno all the way down to last Saturday, they have not played one great football game. In fact, in every game except the Ohio State game they have been downright infuriating. They made Cal, Arizona and Colorado look like all-stars at points during those games and would’ve gone to OT vs. Cal if their OC had been smart enough to call a run play inside the 5. Of course, Stanford was an embarrassment. However, the worst performances were UCLA and last weekend in Seattle. Why do I say this? Because they had both games wrapped up and tried their best to give them back. Luckily, UCLA and Washington weren’t accepting returns. The 2 interceptions that AB threw against UCLA were bad, but the 2 personal fouls penalties against Washington were horrific. To go from the 1 yard line to the 37 in two plays is what I would expect from an undisciplined doormat team. Not a top 4 team. A decent team would’ve taken that 2nd chance and tied the game. Luckily, Jimmy Lake was on the opposite sideline, but there are no more Jimmy Lake’s on the schedule.

The game notes on ESPN.com said he was called for unsportsmanlike conduct. There was probably some trash talk after the play. And not the clean kind like Philip Rivers used to spew.

Arroyo put Herbert under center against Utah in the Pac 12 championship game in 2019. He used it for short yardage situations and goal line. I have never seen it since that game, though.

No. Oregon needs to develop the QB’s they have. Nothing says you’re a bad coach like constantly chasing transfer QB’s. Also, He seems like the kind of guys who could screw up the culture of the team.

I’m sure Rod Gilmore will give his opinion on this at some point.

You are so correct. Even if you traveled the state of Washington from Spokane to Forks you can go through temperate forests, snow, desert and rain forest in about 5 hours of driving.

I know who didn’t get upset. Georgia. It’s them and everybody else. Just like Bama last year, LSU before them and Clemson before them. There’s no parity in CFB anymore and it’s kind of sad.

Byron Marshall had done it a couple of times before that. He also did it again against Ohio State in the NC game, but the tip of the ball barely crossed the line so they gave it to him. Marshall was good but his showboating left a lot to be desired.

Ducks 14-10, 1, 2, 180

Utah is improving, but this game had more to do with Stanford giving up all hope.

I was at a friends house in NC. This was in 2018. He’s a Heels fan so we were going to watch Oregon/uw at his place and UNC/VT afterward. I told him what a big rivalry it was but he obviously didn’t really understand. That is, until CJ ran into the end zone for the game winner and I jumped off the couch and started going crazy. The icing on the cake was when they showed Jake Browning in his “surrender cobra” pose on the bench and I threw double birds at the TV and yelled “F.U. Browning…F.U.!!!” among other bits of colorful language which described his cockiness and penchant for pointing his finger. Anyway, my buddy looks at me and says “You sound like me when we beat Duke in basketball”. It was then that he realized the seriousness of the rivalry. On a side note. We both share a dislike for the Beavs. Him for baseball CWS reasons and me for obvious reasons.

I feel it also took the big man out of the game. I don’t see great post play anymore.

This is where I will give Jimmy Lake credit. He said if the Ducks beat USC then they were the rightful Pac 12 champions.

All of those numbers are currently hanging in the rafters to include 77 for Dr. Jack.

Funny story. I live in the same neighborhood as Dave Twardzik in NC. He actually has a much nicer house on the lake. I haven’t brought myself to go and knock on his door and introduce myself as a fan, though. It’s just not my style. I’m sure I’ll run into him at the grocery store one of these days. It’s not a very big town.

Sounds like your yellow ones should be able to cut the mustard. You shouldn’t be wearing white after Labor Day anyway.

Bama is ranked that high to salvage any missteps by UGA and save the day for ESECPN. Their hope is that Bama beats UGA in the SEC championship game so that both teams get in. However if Bama loses to Auburn then they can justify ranking Auburn in the top 6 because they beat the #2 team (We all can appreciate that a great win trumps any bad loss). That way, if UGA loses to Auburn in the conference championship game then they would easily remain in the top 4. If A&M beats Auburn this weekend and Auburn beats Bama then A&M would move into the top 6 and face UGA in the conference championship game (if they can win out). Once again, the justification for keeping UGA in the playoff if they slip up against A&M in Atlanta. Bama’s #2 ranking is the only reason why Ole Miss, MSU and A&M have their current rankings. If Bama was ranked 8th or so then A&M would be out of the top 20 and Ole Miss and MSU would be unranked. The SEC is nothing more than a big “self-licking ice cream cone”.

The funny thing about this scenario is the #1 seed would have the tougher out. Also, if the committee puts 12-1 OSU above 12-1 Oregon because of the better loss then I am declaring the 2012 Notre Dame team the national champions because they had a better loss than Bama.

This makes sense for two reasons. This team can’t to play a complete game on both sides of the ball and they lose too many players to injury or targeting penalties. This bit them against Stanford and it will likely bite them again. It could happen this weekend in Seattle. The one thing uw does well is play defense. If they can keep it close at home then anything can happen. Especially with Pac 12 refs.

The team that started this year’s trend of calling for the backup QB is Oklahoma. The thing is, it worked. Williams replaced Rattler and became an instant legend. So, naturally, every other fan base thinks it will work for them.

He lives in Fayetteville and he wants his family to be able to see him play. I would rather he flip now than pull a Kingsley.

Jimmy Lake can recruit all the Sheldon Cooper’s and Howard Wolowicz’s he wants. We’ll keep going after the Kayvon Thibadeaux’s and Noah Sewell’s.
