The Kamikaze Kid

fuskies start the day by giving up a pick six and trail Indiana early 0-7.

The banana peal on the field for UO will be turnovers, especially in the red zone. Take another fourteen points off the board and or a pick six and you're now in who knows territory. Play a clean game and Illinois won't have the horses to hang with OBD for sixty minutes.

I'm actually shocked that the BIG scheduled a UO road trip for them in year one. I would have thought they would get the first home game.

Yes. I almost forgot to ask football Santa for a 20 inning World Series game of the ages tonight.

Rutgers over SUC, FSU over the Fighting Marios, Indiana over the purple pups.

UO 27-17 3 TOs 4 Sacks 285 Passing

SUC Fan: Ohio St would have totally demolished Lemming's team if it wasn't for that dodge ball kickoff, and knowing the rules better than Day, and all those recruits he stole from our backyard and that rabid fan base with Game Day there and um... where was I going with this?

Maybe they think it's lucky to survive a game with tOSU after giving them a free touchdown on the first drive.

"USC paid for a Ferrari, but a Kia Forte sits in the driveway on an empty tank." Ouch

Autzen Stadium has become the new Mac Court. Change my mind.

Great article. Lots to ponder. Whatever the answer is, I just want to see the load that James carries for the team dispersed a bit more. I realize that we don't have a 1A and 1B this year at running back but there seems to be too large of gap between 1 and 2 this year. I don't want to see James take too much wear and tear throughout the season and have too little left for a playoff run. Harris looked very promising at Purdue as did Limar. Hoping to see them take some of the load off of James in the second half of the season.

Robo Duck was one of the largest marketing failures in history. Long live The Duck!

They’ll just have to learn it for themselves one team after another.

Ref: Emotional foul, illegal dominance Oregon. A tissue will be placed at the spot of the foul.

This year has got my full attention for sure. As to next year I am actually very excited about that as well. I feel that next year will be Lanning's first true team. It will be made up of guys he recruited himself and has been developing behind the curtain the last couple of years. All of those 4-4 1/2 star guys we raved about recruiting have been taking a back seat to the transfers that came in filled the starter spots the last couple years will finally be taking the field. These guys may lack in game experience but they do have practice experience going up against some of the best players in the country every day in practice. I'd say 2-3 years on the team learning both Lanning's system and culture is worth more than just bringing in a plug and play senior from the portal. I'd expect him to portal in a few positions of need like offensive line and running back but they look pretty set everywhere else. I'm excited for what the future holds but first there's a 2024 championship to go after right now.

Yes another great fuskie defeat 30. Listened with glee on the radio for that one. I think Steve Brown had his own pick six to complete the beatdown. Man I loved Ogburn or as Don Essig used to say Re ggie OOOOGBUUUURN!

I was living in Seattle at the time and was watching the game in a bar. As the fuskies got closer to the goal line that place got pretty rowdy. Then all of a sudden it got very quiet.... except for one excited guy!

And this right here is why Lanning didn't want the job. He's his own man and I think he wants his own legacy and not just be handed the championship baton.

I think this will be a tighter game than the spread suggests and Illinois is a very good team. What we may have to get used to because this is pretty new is that the Ducks are a very complete team including a mountain of depth we haven't seen before. In the end the Ducks will have answers to the challenges they face and the problems they impose will just be too much to deal with. I'm expecting a fun game to watch with a satisfactory outcome in the end. As to the other topic on this thread, Danny Boy has Uncle Phil uh I mean the Ducks sitting at number one in the country and nobody will be able to pry this coach away from him uh I mean them.

This year’s stats I think are somewhat deceptive. I think Lanning’s plan has been to get up by three scores (21 points), create separation, then play some vanilla ball till the end. Since BSU all but tOSU have been blow outs by halftime. I think the second half vanilla ball has been to both avoid needless wear and tear on the players and to minimize useful tape on the team. We are 2-0 against top twenty playoff level teams. I’m not that concerned..

Cig may be the next Lanning. Too bad for SUC that they're up to their eyeballs in a 70 mil buyout for Riley.

With the Dodgers opening the World Series and the Lakers playing at the same time, Rutgers may out number SUC fans in the stands 3-2.

This is by far OBD's best team ever. With these offensive and defensive lines along with serious dudes at every position, they would have throttles 2010 Auburn and 2014 tOSU would have been the same dog fight we saw a couple weeks ago.

That dumpster fire may be way down in southern California but it still keeps me toasty warm at night.

Well stated 30. I can't help but think about how many recruits and future recruits are pondering that thought right now. The present and future are both looking potentially brighter than our glorious past.
