[IT'S OFFICIAL...HE GONE!]

DeBoer is going to be deadly for a year or two at Bama. He has a roster full of play makers and big linemen. 

 

He has proven he can make the Xs and Os work but he hasn't recruited a Division 1 roster to date. He bailed from Fresno before his recruits became upper class men and he is leaving Washington before his recruits become the backbone of the team. 

 

He has shown he can take someone else's roster and add some nice transfers into it and make it into something. But he hasn't proved he can build a roster from the ground up. 

 

But he is going to have to learn to recruit fast to maintain any success he has. 

 

Now... Some might say that Lanning is winning with Cristobal's guys but that is false for the most part. Lanning has gutted and rebuilt the Oregon roster over the last two years. The 2021 team was mostly Cristobal guys but the 2022 team was majority Lanning. 

 

And the 2022 team was better! 

UW had a ton of transfers and this kid named Penix. 

[Reports: Oregon HC Dan Lanning a 'Top Target' for Alabama HC Vacancy]

Lanning hasn't won anything. Too inexperienced and nowhere close to Saban in coaching. I think it would be stupid to follow a legend. I would't take him If I were Alabama. Don't get me wrong, I like him and don't want to see him leave but he is still unproven in my book.

[I Am Rooting for the Huskies]

Turn in your fan card.  Part of me wants a Pac team to win, besides its not a real natty if there is only 4 playoff teams. 

[Michigan vs. Washington CFP Championship Pre-game Discussion]

Bet UW +4 and over 55

[Breaking: Transfer QB Dante Moore to Oregon]

Hope Moga doesn't bail.

[Is Developing Quarterbacks a Thing of the Past?]

I think if you look at FSU this season one could conclude that developing QBs is very important. 

[I'm Not Convinced Gabriel Will Help Oregon.]

no comment. self censoring

[Civil War Renewed For 2024 And Beyond]

Still need a few cupcakes on the schedule, even if they are a Mountain West team now lol

[Bo's Gonna Play!]

Honestly, the game would be more meaningful to me as a fan if run by coach Lanning as a competitive scrimmage for next year’s crop. Bo (and anyone else trying out this year for the league) should step aside and give TT a chance to show his stuff in a big game with next year’s first stringers. 

I guess they have zero interest for TT next season

[Bo's Gonna Play!]

There is no potential upside for him to play, I don't get it. 

[FSU Fans Are Incensed]

They are not one of the 4 best teams in college football. I've watched them twice. Its not even close. 

[Ducks Face the Liberty Flames on Jan. 1]

Who?

[Bowl Game! What Opponent Do YOU Want to See?]

How about Ohio State?

 

What about QB? Is Nix done? 

[Rivals250 QB Michael van Buren Decommits From Oregon]

Bye. Moga looks better to me.  

[What Went Wrong in Oregon's 34-31 Loss to Washington in the Pac-12 Title Game]

1. Worst start possible - bad play calling first 2 series. 

 

2. Defense could not stop the run - this is disastrous vs UW offense.

 

3. Again play calling. Whats with the roll out pass play that shortens the field to a tiny box? It worked on the goal line only because of a good pass and amazing catch by Ferguson. 

 

 

In the end the Ducks got out coached.  

[DJ Uiagalelei Enters Portal]

No Thanks. I'd really like to see the incoming freshman get a shot but I'm sure a transfer will be coming in.

[Just in: Smith leaving OSU for Michigan State!]

That was a no-brainer move. Guess its kind of hard to sell the Pac2 championship game to recruits.

[Would You Take Shough Back?]

NO, I'd rather play a freshman. Injury prone. Played well vs the Ducks but no thanks. I'm sure there will be better transfers who want to come here. 

[College Football Playoff: How Can Oregon Make It?]

I watched a little of the Miami/FSU game and FSU is unimpressive. Hopefully they lose in the ACC title game or to Florida. 

 

First things First. Win out and beat the Fuskies in Vegas.

[Pac-12 2023 - The Road to Las Vegas]

Ducks just need to win out.

That's a great take.

 

The number of playmakers on the field this year, and their experience is huge.

 

Are those waiting in the wings going to get developed?  Will the newbies have an impact?  Is there enough talent in the portal to make a difference?

 

Life with high expectations....sigh

Yet the experience in the secondary didn't matter. Seen better from Duck DBs in years past. 

[I Will Have to Re-Think Things About This Team...]

This is still an awesome team and I'm looking forward to a rematch in Vegas. 

 

 

Hey that #11 backup corner is better than the starter he replaced. 

 

 

[It Was All Mental, Cam..,]

Out coached again. This time by our own coaches. Kick the FG going into the half. 

[Canzano: Oregon to Get a Rude Awakening in the B1G?]

The rude awakening will be the true road games current big 10 teams are going to be exposed to flying out west. Give it a few years and WSU and Oregon State will be asked to join to form a Big 10 western division to limit travel.

[Duck Defense: Are You Beginning to Believe?]

Not a believer yet. The increased team speed on D compared to last year is noticeable. Huge test @ UW.
