    I am loving the anguish being shown on their message boards, and it reminds me that Fuskies are delusional:

     

    "It's so ironic that by finally making the CFP championship game and moving to the Big 10 the UW job has moved from a top 25 job nationally to a borderline top 10; it just so happens at the same time a top 5 job just opened up.

     

    Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, Georgia, USC are probably the only jobs that are clearly at a higher level than UW, but I think we're now in the next tier with Penn State, the Florida schools, Oregon, Clemson, and

     

    probably a few more that I've missed. UW is closer to the top of the pyramid than it's been since Don James, but as long as we're not at the top there will always be bigger opportunities elsewhere."

    What is their message board link?

    Michigan just bullied them from the beginning.  Never trailed, big final score.  I had friends from the Midwest and South texting me how soft UW looked.  They were shocked they hadn’t lost several games.  And all this with Michigan not playing great on offense.  I think they forgot the forward pass was allowed.  Certainly play called away from their QB.   Oregon was much better equipped to beat Michigan.

    naw...  last night put everything in perspective.  

     

    we still building.  Michigan been building this the last 3 years with this squad

    I'll be honest... 

     

    Whittington isn't going to be a featured back at Oregon. Bucky didn't even get featured back carries this season. 

     

    And James is going to be hard to deny carries and Harris is a big boddied bruiser. Whittington is going to be a change of pace back but that's not a bad thing. 

     

     

    I was going to say the same.. Jordan has already earned the starting position in my eyes.

    Damn right David.  This is a New Year's Day Six Bowl....a Fiesta Bowl, for crying out loud.  It does not matter who the opponent is--we MUST win it!  Liberty was required to be part of a NYD-6 bowl, and we got the draw.  That is the way it works sometimes.

     

    But we must win this!  I am going to have an analysis of Liberty up later this week....  (Saturday)

     

    Salter Added to Manning Award Watch List - Liberty University

     

     

    I agree

  5. why is this even a question?  I respectfully say this.. just a lead in

     

    He wasnt a Lanning recruit. He wasnt going to start over Bo.   Thats just the way it is.  

     

    We are feeling bad for Ty just for the fact he stayed and waited.  No one on here can fully say they were confident in going into the Big 10 with Ty.  Look at Arch Manning.  He is about to enter his 2nd season.  If he doesnt transfer, he wont be seeing the field until year 3.  Jalen Milroe.  didnt see the field until his Junior year.   Its no different anywhere else.  

     

    Thats just facts.  Im rooting for him wherever he goes.  I do at some point want to get out of the QB portal race and I think that will happen after Akili Smith Jr arrives.  We should have QB recruit continuity by then.  But to compete at the highest levels, the valued QB will have been seasoned to stand a real chance at winning

    I want him to stay along with many of the players because I am sick and tired of hearing the beaver fans whine and complain about how the end of the world is coming. This is almost always followed by its Oregon's fault.

     

    The problem is those who play the victim seldom do well. The beaver faithful need to grow up and do the best with the hand that was dealt, mainly from their own doing. 

     

    OSU is a decent school, but right now they deserve better fans.

    Lol..Im on one of their forums.  They are in shambles.  Lol

     

    If they didnt talk like the world owes them for everyone leaving, I would have sympathy.  The fanbase is disrespectful as hell

    I personally don't think so. We already have one or two highly rated quarterbacks waiting in the wings behind Ty Thompson. It looks like the Oregon coaching staff is good at developing quarterbacks, so why not stick with young ones who haven't already learned bad habits like Dante Moore? If we take in a quarterback next year through the transfer portal, it should be a veteran with a high upside, not a benched rookie who underperformed

    I agree.. He chose UCLA.  Its one thing to break in a new QB who has been in our system (Thompson) vs having to break in a transfer who has to learn.  

     

    and true, we have a few more coming in as well.  Sorry Dante...

    There is no way Oregon should stiff Texas Tech in 2024 and not give the Red Raiders a return game. And 8 home games in 2024 is fantastic.

     

    I am only going to look at the 2024/25 schedules when asking Rob what he is doing now that OREGON is B1G time come 2024. A member of The Power 2 and a member that plays nine conference games.

     

    2025 - Away - Boise State, Iowa, Northwestern, Penn State, Rutgers, Washington.

     

    NW and Rutgers are not top-drawer B1G programs but these games require a trip to Chicago and a trip to New Jersey.

     

    Home - Indiana, Minnesota, Montana State, USC, Wisconsin, and P5 Oklahoma State.

     

    Playing at Boise State? Does Ohio State play at Toledo, Akron, or Miami of Ohio? Does Michigan play at Eastern, Central, or Western Michigan? Of Course Not!

     

    Tripping to Boise, Idaho to play in a Bandbox stadium makes no sense for a B1G league team.

     

    And with this schedule, does Oregon, even though it is a home game, need a game vs. B12 Oklahoma State that is now odds on to play in the 2023 B12 Championship game?

     

    In the 12-team playoff era, finishing in the top 4 of the B1G means punching a playoff ticket. IMO, there is no reason to add a P5 opponent to an already strong strength of schedule. 

     

    2026 - Away - Illinois, Michigan State, Ohio State, USC, and Oklahoma State.

     

    Playing Ohio State and USC on the road is not enough. Why a trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma? Is there a single player from Oklahoma on Oregon's roster or an Oklahoma high school player targeted as a recruit? 

     

    Home - Boise State, Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, Portland State, UCLA, and Washington.

     

    If the road schedule is not tough enough, add on playing Michigan, Nebraska (Nebraska will improve under Coach Ruhle,) UCLA, and Washington at home. 

     

    Another consideration when it comes to scheduling. Even games against lesser opponents, both in and out of conference, will be given complete pre and post-game coverage on the Big 10 Network (BTN.) A network with close to 70M subscribers. 

     

    Should a lesser game be shown on BTN, it will not go under the radar like games covered by and shown on Larry's Lost Network.

     

    IMO, drop the game at Boise (and a future scheduled game at Utah State!) and the home-and-home series scheduled against Oklahoma State and Baylor. 

     

    Oregon does not need another Power 4 game on its slate. Why put money in the pockets of the B12? If you want to replace Oklahoma State and Baylor with P4 opponents, then play Stanford and/or Cal.

     

    I'd rather buy home games versus San Diego State, Fresno State, and San Jose State than play a P4 opponent on top of nine conference games. These games at Autzen will draw as many or close to as many viewers as games versus the B12.

     

    And home games at Autzen not only benefit the Ducks but the entire Eugene/Springfield community.

     

    If Rob has to open the wallet to cancel road games against G5 opponents and P4 Oklahoma State and Baylor, please do so. 

     

    BEAT SC!

     

     

    This is the best post of the year.. so true

  9. naw, it made sense for us to get Bo at the time as a building block.  But, you have to develop QB's.  I rather take a lump or two starting Ty or whoever next year.   Its not a good look to QB recruits who may want to come here by dipping in the portal for successors constantly. 

     

    Bo was needed at the time of transition.  Ty should be ready next year.
