This post is from an aptly named site: angrybeavs.com Many other comments about how Oregon will be middle of the pack, etc. Kinda seems like the Beavs are "lashing out irrationally" because they see themselves falling into the "Independent" hole, or saddling up with the Mountain West. Lots of angst over there...makes them forget that Oregon went to Ohio State with an offense that the 50's would have been proud of and beat the Buckeyes...

Jim Harbaugh is probably thinking, What the Heck?! I thought I got away from the Ducks when I left Stanford!! Now they are gonna destroy my playoff chances EVERY flipping year!!

So, I would wonder if the PAC-whatever just folds and the remaining teams try and Oliver Twist (please sir, spare a crumb) into a new conference, or; maybe the Mountain West just absorbs those remaining programs of Oregon State, WSU, Cal, any Arizona teams left, and I don't know what Utah will do...

Wait, to read all the you-dub fans, all four playoff spots are going to the huskies....so I'm not sure how anyone else is getting in.

Hi folks, I am hoping to start a topic that is going to generate a lot of conversation. You may agree, disagree, feel that I need professional help (probably true there), but this has been something brewing in my mind since the spring game. Lets discuss the Oregon "O" side of the ball. First, some ground rules: I have done a deep dive into the best players at different positions for Oregon and nothing that I am discussing should be construed that I think we have the next DAT, or Ed Dickson, Gary Zimmerman, etc sitting on this roster. Those names are arguably some of the best players to ever put on a Duck jersey....and I know there are many more. The other thing that I am NOT doing is comparing players to former players. For instance, I'm not saying Bo Nix is MM, or Tez is Jeff Maehl. Rather, I am taking a look at the field of play from a 3,000 foot level to see the talent and skill levels available as A TEAM on the field. I am going to make the statement that at this moment in time; before injuries, potential additions/subtractions via the portal, or position changes take place; I have never been so excited about an offensive roster since LMJ and Kenyon Barner lined up in the backfield together or MM and DAT were together. I know that the offensive line had a bunch of turnover. I also know that the guys stepping up now received a lot of playing time last year to fill in for injuries and they are game veterans. Here is the main reason that I am so excited: Skill positions. The receiving core, running backs, and QB that this squad is going to step onto the field with may be the most talented AS A GROUP that Oregon has ever fielded. Okay, so this where I may hear the rumblings of "professional help". Again, I don't see DAT in the backfield in Irving or Whittington. I don't see Ed Dickson at the TE spot. What I do see are a group of guys that cumulatively have an incredible amount of talent and there is not a weak spot. DAT was a generational talent, it didn't matter what you did on defense; he could burn you. What this current roster has is highly skilled players at all positions. Is there a superstar? Maybe not. Will ANY of them burn a defense on a missed assignment? ABSOLUTELY. And THAT my friends, is where my excitement comes from. This offense is going to give opposing defenses nightmares. You need multiple lock-down corners to handle Franklin, Tez, Bryant Jr, Holden, Hutson, and Delgado. Okay, MAYBE you've got the skill players to do that. Sooo, do you have the skill at LB to handle an Irving or Whittington coming out of the backfield? I can say confidently that I do NOT see a defensive roster in the PAC that has this type of talent. And guess what, I've not even talked about Bo's ability to run. What I saw in Spring Game was a plethora of weapons for this offensive to utilize. Clearly, this does not account for incorrect routes, overthrown balls, etc. That is just part of football. But I feel that I can confidently say that for the first time in a LONG time, Oregon is putting out an offense that is going to take us back a decade or so to when the flash/dazzle/explosiveness would leave you shaking your head at how and why this team could do this. Exciting stuff. Let the conversation begin.

Line Bryant up in the backfield for a possible swing or wheel route, with Tez in the slot...the defense is gonna wet themselves!!

Former USC receiver Gary Bryant Jr. commits to transfer to Oregon Ducks WWW.GOOGLE.COM Bryant Jr. committed to transfer to Oregon on Saturday. He chose UO over Texas A&M.

I heard that UW was headed to the Big Sky so that they could get a yearly chance to try to beat Montana.

I heard that the jackpot was two cows and 4 dozen eggs.

.... bring on Tulane!! They are welcome anytime!

Well, well, well... https://www.si.com/college/oregon/football/former-oregon-wr-mycah-pittman-announces-pac-12-destination He's gonna be a Ute.

Not a lot of information in this article for many of the schools. Oregon had a huge crowd, but perhaps the most incredible stat is Colorado. That is completely the Prime effect, but what the heck, if it brings the Pac-12 more national attention, I'll take it.

I always like watching how the veterans play and seeing their connections with each other. But my favorite part is seeing the new guys....I'll never forget that young MM kid busting through the line and running away from EVERYONE in a spring game. So, many of you have already touched on the main ones and I'll add three more: 1. Jordan Burch is a whole different speciman. Not sure where they got the DNA for that guy but good grief!! Dude can edge rush, cover a RB out of the backfield, and probably could return kicks! 2. Matayo Uiagalele is gonna be fun to watch. I can't wait to see how he develops. 3. This Bryce Boettcher kid was everywhere. Reminds me a lot of Brady Breeze but seems bigger. Lots of energy, passion, and he seems to love the game. Oh, and Patrick Herbert looks like he's beefed up quite a bit!

Colorado players in transfer portal: Wave of Buffaloes exploring exit after Deion Sanders' spring game debut - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM Two star wide receivers are among the Colorado players who've entered the transfer portal Their receiver, Lemonious-Craig would make a good addition. He's a junior this year and I'm sure he would love to win a few games! According to his Twitter, he's already got quite a few offers...including the agricultural school a little to the north.

Tell you what, if the entire OBD forum shows up at Autzen this coming Saturday, we beat that crowd. Heck, if my whole family shows up, we'll beat that crowd!

Joe Paterno (and others) said it best:. "When you get into the end zone, act like you've been there before". I think that would apply to winning a game, championship, etc. Totally on board with celebrating a win (heck, when the Broncos won their first Super Bowl, I jumped off the couch and punched the ceiling). I am just not certain why it would make the win better by berating or showing up your opponent. Always, always appreciated MM for the class he demonstrated on the field after scoring and even helping defenders up. It certainly didn't detract from his abilities when he showed class like that. I always told the players I coached, let your plays speak the loudest for you. Still get thanks for that even to this day. Old school...I'm a card-carrying member!!

I also have heard a wild one that the NCAA is going to allow players to be paid!!....oh wait..never mind. Okay, well I heard that the NCAA is going to allow players to transfer to different schools like free agency....oh crap...never mind... A friend of the cousin of a friend who is the son of an NCAA official said they are looking to allow players to have multiple years of eligibility because of COVID....okay, well I am tapped out!!

But don't y'all remember: USC SHOULD have been in the CFP, they had to SETTLE to play Tulane, now, they SHOULD get all the recruits from SoCal... Let me tell you where USC won: Their marching band was better than Tulane's.

I thought the author made a great point in the "cons" section regarding the hire when he said that the last thing Miami needs is another "Yes Man" to Mario on the staff. As it has been mentioned multiple times on this forum, that's EXACTLY what Arroyo would be...and make a future first- rounder look almost pedestrian.

Looks like those of you who predicted Arroy0 to Miami may be correct.. at least according to the opinion of Justin Davottio from stateoftheu.com. Opinion: Marcus Arroyo is going to be the next O.C. of the Miami Hurricanes WWW.STATEOFTHEU.COM Marcus Arroyo has been heavily courted by NFL teams as a QB coach, but his familiarity with Cristobal will...

I can't imagine that there are OC folks out there that are sitting at impatiently by their phone waiting for that phone call... If ANYONE watched a Mari0 game they know the pain that people who like offense endure. Maybe my son's junior high coach wants to move up...it would be about the same offense.
