Well that F!!!!!! blows.

They're better than we think every other game since the Beav game.

Great against Penn St

Sucked against IU

Great against Rutgers

Sucked against WI

So they should be back to from against IA

I'm glad UW and IA are on the road because the Ducks seem to play better on the road lately.

Ducks play better on the road.

Of course the Fighting Ducks. However I think Bama is going to be in the mix too.

It make me nervous to think that the Ducks might have to face KD with AL's talent in the CFP. To lose to KD in the CFP would really hurt.

While it’s purely incidental, I’ve always found it interesting that Mike Billotti swears the stadium was louder before the 2002-03 south-side expansion. I think he credits that belief to a loss of decibel rebound off the donor roof which gained 17 feet of height over the original

12 thousand more voices has less impact than the old configuration? Reading these coaches’ comments comparing Autzen sound to much larger stadiums makes you realize it’s not body count that gives Autzen its loudness.

Anyway, I give the benefit of the doubt to Mike whose tenure bridged the two editions of Autzen. You’d think he’d know.

Didn't they also move the concrete perimeter wall further back? It seems to me that it used to be darn close to the players.

It was Allar nothing.

Wasnt lucky on that one. Ouch

Run D has not been that impressive.

Game Day + White Out + all day tailgating will have the crowd in a frenzy.

Revenge game for Penn St.

Big stage is too much for the young Duck team.

I think the starters get pulled earlier than normal because of the Penn St game on the road next week.

Dont really care about the uni's that much. Its all about kicking some rodent arse.

I've debated the importance of polls in my head. If the polls were eliminated I wonder how we would get a top 25 or more importantly top 12 when it comes time to seed the playoffs. For example how would we pick the number three or four teams from the multi bid leagues?

Doesn't the CFP committee do their own rankings? IMO the pre CFB rankings are just for clicks. They give some credence for media like ESPN, Yahoo, Fox etc to have some fodder to throw out to those interested. In the end the only poll that counts is the one that comes out on Tuesday Nov 4th every other one that comes out from the CFP after that one.

I have Dish TV and have not missed a game. If needed I'll do a 7 day free trial for one game if it's streamed. Yeah it sucks but it is what it is these days.

I think I am probably alone in my distaste of someone deciding what I should wear to a game. It seems to be a thing for all sports.

 

I know that "I" need to choose what I wear, as the combination I choose will more than likely determine the outcome of the game.

 

( It has nothing to do with my distaste of being told what to do)

 

I actually think it's pretty cool when all the fans are wearing the same color. Like Penn St's white out. Problem with Oregon is they have so many color combinations that it's hard to get the whole stadium on board. I guess that's the drawback to being trendsetters. 

Not that they won't need to play THEIR game every game but this season looks to be less stressful than last years. No tOSU or MI. The Ducks looked tired at the end of the season. This years byes are also situated better.

 

11-1 would be fine with me. 

It's never going to be fair as long as a human is involved. 

 

CFB needs to go the route of the NFL with divisions and conferences. Win games and you're in. None of the who beat who by how much phooey. Probably won't see it in my life time but it would eliminate all the sour grapes. 

Will Howards slide as time ran out.

I would like to see a repeat of the last time a team named OSU pounded ND to the tune of 41-9. 

I would like to see better production in the 3rd qtr. How many times did the Ducks come out with the ball starting the 3rd qtr and flop? Not sure if it's from the lack of adjustments or lack of player energy. Personnel changes from 2023 to 2024?

 

Oregon ranked 95th in 3rd qtr scoring with scoring average of 4.5 pts in 2024.

In 2023 they averaged 8.9 pts in the 3rd qtr. That would've placed them at 13th tied with CO and Syracuse. 

 

At home they scored 5.2 and away they scored 3.9. 

 

Is it Stein not making adjustments or Lanning not getting the players fired up or the opposing DC making adjustments? Such a big deal about the middle 8 but it fizzled more times than not.

The Ducks... they lead you to the water, but never quite let you have the big drink. 

Thats why they're not a hot topic at 13-0. Fooled too many times.

Maybe next year.
