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.

Oregon 35 Utah 24 1 turnover 2 sacks 210yrds passing I'll go out on a limb and say 430 yards of offense for OBD

Dramatic or not that was a great read. Thank you!

I wouldn't be disappointed in that if it happened. I do think that he has done a great job of turning things around and will continue the growth we all have witnessed. However should he move on then more power to him... the ducks will overcome, adapt and improvise their way to the top.

I hope Thompson comes in for some experience. It appears that Brown has given up and the receivers have given up on him.

I really don't think so. I'm all for supporting these young men but the truth hurts... our team isn't that good. Really have a lot of promise and potential but not that good at this point. I believe they have overachieved this year.

The game is over family

That doesn't mean that it isn't disappointing how things are going at the moment.

Be calm and enjoy a great group of young men giving their best. They will settle down and take control of the game. If they don't then they were overrated (including the coaches) and will learn (including the coaches) from the experience.

I think he was in and it's not a fumble. I hope the reffs get this right

I just don't understand the point of throwing for 1 yard when you need 9 and the receiver is well covered
