While the "portal" is in our face every day, it seems that we forget, or at least I do, an important point. Even if the athletes that this young man is talking to doesn't sign here, they will remember the love if/when they hit the portal in the future. So, it's not "no", it's just "not yet".

In my humble opinion Charles you are simply asking people to treat others as they want to be treated. Most people can accomplish this through self control. However self control is quickly eroded by entitlement. Once entitlement takes root all bets are off. Everyone is susceptible to this, it's human nature. You can't change their mind, you can only stand for what is right and not conform under the pressure of their loss or anyone else's. I think it's safe to say that 99% of us are thankful for your efforts to provide a safe and enjoyable forum. It is here that we can focus on something positive instead of the nonsense around us. Thank you, be strong and courageous!

Facing the Giants

This one just hurts

I am so glad this effort is being made. It gives me hope that the other coaches are looking back on what made Oregon great so that they can move forward for a great future.

The only positive thing I. An think of about this game is that Dye is in the 3000 yard club. Good fir him!

JB had the headset on along with the walk on that I can't remember his name...

Did anyone see TT on the sideline yet

38-28 Ducks 1, 2, 263 yards one of the freshman qbs come in partway into the 3rd and light it up while the sooners keep stacking the box to stop the run. Moorehead goes out feeling vindicated and Cristobal looks less like the coach Miami thought they bought. We have a real qb competition going into spring.

I love the way you shared this. I would hope that we can set aside our emotions when they begin to our behavior in a negative manner. Sadly collage football has become consumed with the almighty dollar and all that goes with it (example 2). While expecting the fans to maintain its passion and support with patients and compassion. (example 1). I guess you could say it's like having your pie and eating it to. With things around us as crazy as they are it is easy to view life, including OBD, through the lens of frustration, resentment hopelessness. However, choosing to follow OBD for the love of the game, special memories and the hope to for a special moment or season, will lead to a more fulfilling experience and lower blood pressure. I haven't done a good job at this but I'm trying maintain the correct focus and attitude because if I don't I would quit watching or caring about OBD... I don't want to throw that away.

23 and snowing in Lapine

Charles you do a great job! Seriously you have been a great blessing to so many duck fans over the years. Thank you for all that you do!

What a great way to describe what we have been witnessing the last few years. Thank you for putting this into words that anyone can understand!

I dont know that we are unhappy that he left but it was the way he left is the big problem... at least for me it is. If you are a person of integrity than say what you mean, mean what you say. Remember, truth may hurt at the moment but it will set you free.

Wasn't DeRuyter a head coach previously if so isn't it likely that he was told no to the big chair?

Thank you for sharing this. I agree on taking a hard pass

How about coach O, he is free now and has done a great job of rebuilding after his last natty 2 years ago . He also did well when filling in at USC for the short term

They have completely quit but I wondering its because Cristobal has quit and is leaving Oregon. He has a completely different demeanor on the sideline.

Brown needs to be benched for sure. Time for the freshman to get time.

Great defense stand... and they got robbed again, that was a fumble and recovery by OBD.

I still think they will loose... Sadly, but Brown did better on that series

Brown must be benched or Cristobal needs to go to Miami in my humble opinion.

Ducks are getting what they deserve by allowing the coach to not do everything possible to win. I'm sorry, I have supported both Cristobal and Brown this whole season but we are seeing what a QB that can throw is doing to a tired defense. Thus has to stop, 8f one of the freshman quarterbacks are not starting the second half then it's all over.

In my humble opinion Brown is loosing this game for the team and second its Cristobal for leaving him in. The receivers are open, the plays are there. Yes there are mental mistakes however the team can turn things around the plays are made that are there to be made.
