That's the sound of my heart, the hopes of the season, and my pride hitting the ground. If ANYONE in this forum had told me that in the third quarter Oregon would have a 21 point lead and the Beavs would mount a comeback without a single pass, well...you'd be receiving a visit from the Shady Acres white jacket folks. Yep, we'll get a bowl game. Yep, winning record with a new coach and staff. Yep, transfer QB had a tremendous season. But to blow a 21 point lead. To a team that you were owning and stomping the life out of their confidence. I am gonna go hide for awhile...not gonna read the news about the game, don't wanna hear that it's still been a good season. The heart is running the show right now and it's not very happy.

Gilmore: "Martinez will be the Pac-10 freshman of the year"...not unless he hits a time portal and returns to pre-2011

The way the backs are running, Bo may not have to do a lot.

From a few years back but one of my faves: VID_20180929_211607669.mp4

That's a candidate for "Catch of The Year" from Cota!!

I watched the most recent episode of "Talkin Ducks" and The Joey Harrington discussed Bo Nix. The conversation was about Bo's legacy as a single season QB at Oregon and Joey echoed what so many of you had already stated: Bo has a year left, if his draft stock isn't great and Oregon ponies up some NIL money, he could stay. Joey also said that Bo and his wife have integrated well into Eugene. Kudos to so many of you that brought up those possibilities. We got some smart folks in this forum! Maybe it's time to start a webcast?!

Oregon Wins. 42-27 3 turnovers 2 sacks 320 yards passing

Well, I am surprised he got so far...

They made a rather successful movie from the Avengers line and called it "civil war"...I don't recall their being uproar about that. But, to draw inspiration from the GREAT Dr. Seuss: When Puddles battles Benny in a wet muddled puddle and Benny's getting pummeled by Puddles with a paddle....AND Benny needs to cuddle in the wet muddled puddle but can't because Puddles doesn't huddle, they call that the: CIVIL WAR. And I apologize to Mr. Seuss for destroying the Tweetle Beetle Battle...

Who knows, maybe he will land gracefully on his feet at FAU after they fire Willy!!

So, I've been around long enough to see the "Icky Shuffle", Merton Hanks and the Funky Chicken, the "Dirty Bird", and the Sapp Dance... But this, this was something else entirely...what do we call it? The "Sewell Scoot"??

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see that Alabama has the juggernaut University of Phoenix Online scheduled at some point.

If I had Dilly's ear, I would tell him that if he really wants to surprise OSU, he should have a backup QB come into the game and try a reverse toss to a wide receiver..nobody will see that coming and what could go wrong??

Moving off the Ducks victory for one second, and with all the venom caps lock can convey: HOW THE #$&@ IS THIS ALLOWED?? In November, when other power 5 schools are slugging each other in the face, Alabama plays Austin Peay?? A university with an enrollment of just over 11,000 students. I hope the committee penalizes Alabama for this crap.

I am just now going back through the game...yep, I like to watch 'em twice. Well, the wins anyway!! I had some "thoughts on the obscure" and wanted to run them by the collective. A. We are seeing Dan Lanning learn and grow before our eyes. He is taking responsibility for mistakes, addressing shortcomings, and the results are visible. There are more steps to make in his maturation as a head coach but we get to observe growth as it happens. It tells me a lot when a coach says "100% on me" and NOT this crap: "Well, I think physically we have to get more physical so that our physicality is physically too much physicalness for the other team to handle physically" and y'all know who I'm talking about. B. Dante Thornton is a phenomenal athlete and receiver with tremendous body control. His adjustment at full speed to Bo's throw to the sideline in the 4th quarter was incredible. With Franklin a little dinged up, Thornton became Bo's big-play guy and Dante had some great catches. Still some work to do in crisping up his routes but he is a good one! C. Cam McCormick saved the game. The athleticism of his tackle on the DB who picked Bo was astounding. He singlehandedly saved a pick six and that was NOT an easy play. Cam was going for the catch and adjusted his body as he was falling to grab the DB. Amazing play. D. I am going to miss Bo. To see his fire, his passion, his toughness worn on his sleeve last night was fantastic. E. The Civil War (yeah, I still call it that) MEANS something. OSU has quietly amassed an 8-3 record and this is HUGE! Love that it comes down to this. Thoughts?

After last week, this is an incredible stat line:

Unreal effort by Bo. Defense was not even the same unit that played last week...they fixed some things.

Hopefully Wrighster hauled in some good intel...did you see what I did there?

Love hearing this! Thank you for posting it!!

SC has botched two drives inside the UCLA 25. I am liking UCLA in this matchup.

But hey, this is a GREAT stat line for a punter:

Certainly can't do worse than last week, so here goes! Oregon Wins!! 35-31 2 turnovers (one a pick six) 3 sacks 275 yards passing Civil war will decide if the Ducks go to the Pac-12 Championship!

Bo is currently projected as a the number 8 QB in the draft for 2023 Top 10 Quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft Include C.J. Stroud and Hendon Hooker WWW.PROFOOTBALLNETWORK.COM The 2023 NFL Draft class presents a varietal who's who among the top 10 quarterbacks. Who lands at No. 1? Does your favorite crack the top 10? Those rankings are semi-fluid so that could change a little. Does coming back next year move him up that board at all? Caleb Williams is not eligible to enter the draft until 2024 so Bo would be competing against him next year. A solid draft analysis for Bo is in order. If he stays, does he move up higher than his current ranking of #8? He would have some tremendous weapons and a second year in an offense but I have to wonder what more he has to show. His leadership, poise, and decision making (minus some of the Georgia game) has only gotten better. Selfishly, I would LOVE to see him come back for another run and a second year in this offense. I LOVE watching this kid play and I don't see anyone else on the roster ready to take the reins. But, he's married and has had the best season of his career to date. I am not holding my breath...okay, maybe a teensy amount.

And, I am ready to admit I am wrong about Ty Thompson. I was ALL-IN on this kid since he got to Oregon. I was very skeptical when Bo was brought in because I was thinking Ty was the guy. Then, I watched the spring game and was willing to write off the mediocre showing as just growing pains. But, there was no mistaking at that game how wide the gap was between Bo and Ty. Like all of you, I've watched Ty in mop-up duty and made numerous comments excusing his lackluster play during those times. I've watched his demeanor on the sideline and thought, "This kid is ready to be a star". Well folks, I am going to admit that I am wrong. The Ty Thompson that I see on the sidelines exuding confidence and attitude disappeared completely last night when he had to go in for Bo. When they showed him on the sidelines with the headset on, he looked calm and ready. I was thinking to myself, "OK kid, you are with the ones now, time to shine". When he was behind center, he honestly looked a little scared back there. I know it was a critical point in the game but this kid is a 5* HS champion athlete. He's been in big moments before. I'm the first person to say that the coaches are the ones who coach up the kids, but the kids are who play the game. Ty reminds me of that co-worker we have all had...the one who nods their head in understanding when something is explained and then immediately has to ask for help when they have to do the task because they actually didn't understand. I remember (seems like so long ago) watching a new kid at the spring practice run the offense. The minute he played, I knew why Darron Thomas had left. The kids name: Marcus Mariota. Now, I know that he's a generational talent but there was NO QUESTION that he was ready to take over the team. He had one year of redshirt and then TOOK the spot from Darron. Ty has NOT shown that he is ready to take over this team. If Bo declares for the draft (which he should do), our QB situation for next year is tenuous. Maybe Dante Moore will be Mariota-esque, but that's assuming nobody flips him. To all of you who were calling out issues with Ty, you were right. He's not the future at QB. And I don't know who is.

I need stronger Xanax!
