I prefer the national media to not talk about Oregon when it put out a wet fart of an effort against Idaho.  Let's see if Dan can figure out how to call 4th down plays correctly.  Let's see if the NIL rich kids can play with heart to the level of lower quality opponents.  Who knows. We shall know more after game 4.

You can NIL the talent all you want but you cannot pay for heart.

3 avoidable losses are on Lanning so I don't know if they can be classified as good decisions in reality due to the results.

As the USA vs Serbia game showed the amazing level of talent is nice but actually playing cohesively as a team means a heckuva lot.  Having both is rare and maybe this is the year it happens for us.

Hopefully, this means Lanning has figured out how not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.  

I would like Oregon to beat UW a few times before I get all worked up over our alleged coming dominance.

Welcome to where I was even during the last year or two of the Sabrina era. But then I had inside Intel

At the very least, you cannot suck as a coach if you're on this list

Yes! What on Earth happened to our program.  From Sabrina 4 yrs ago to the absolute pits of today.  And yes, with all those players leaving for other schools.  What exactly happened to our women's basketball program?  Oregon St in the elite 8 and Ducks in the bottom ten...  give me a break..  tell me the truth..  what happened?

 

I'm sorry... This isn't a website for loser Beaver sports. Glad they lost!

Well...bye

Every college fan base thinks their college QB hero would have been super good in the NFL.....if only.

You're welcome, Bo!

We could pronounce his last name as Fistch.   

That's all fine and good but, in my opinion, he would have left for Bama if offered.  

Sorry to bring it up again but where is the evidence Lanning was offered the Bama job?  I am glad Deboer is gone as he, in my opinion, is currently a better coach than Lanning.  But I still am curious if we have actual EVIDENCE (not supposition) of Lanning turning down the job and not just homer hagiography worship of Lanning and hoping he chose Oregon over Bama.  All that being said I am so glad Lanning is our coach.

I am just glad Deboer is gone.  He got his team mentally prepared to compete like hell against us in the P12 title game.  Lanning for some reason wasn't able to get our guys WANTING it.  

Was he offered Bama? Otherwise I'm not sure the loyalty angle. 

Well it was nice while we had him

No 

Puddles the living duck from the 1920s?  

I think Chip and the NFL are not a good match.  I remember telling my Duck homer friend that Chip would quickly wear out his welcome in the NFL.  

3 losses in a row to UW make me not super confident.  But I guess things could change and the ball bounce our way.
