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

Call me wacky but I think people should cook food however they feel like. It's not an orthodox religion. It is food to your taste,

Novosad will be good. Hope it is with us.

Canzano is nothing if not a poop stirrer.

I kind of wish Bo would have sat out the bowl game and we could have seen what Ty had to offer in a full game. From afar it seemed he handled himself with dignity and was a good teammate. Hopefully he is amazing wherever he goes.

I don't want the wishy-washy dude anywhere near my Ducks.

I think the problem in the Pac12 title game was mostly down to Oregon expecting to win as opposed to wanting to win. Why coach let that happen is a Lanning problem not a UW problem.

Having not paid much attention I ask the forum a question: If college football dumps the NCAA and goes into some kind of super conference then isn't it possible UO could be placed in a more geographically appropriate subdivision? Like UCLA, USC, Washington, Oregon and perhaps a handful of other westerly located football schools? I would like that more than having to fly our students in all sports wayyyyy the heck around the country as part of the Big10

Yes I really think a good number of them felt a little too secure in their chances to win and never recovered. UW spanked us around on a neutral field. If Vegas it be believed UW basically outperformed by nearly two touchdowns. Yes I think the Ducks didn't have the juice and once they were punched in the mouth they never were able to get it goin on the two lines. I personally believe the Duck team that played OSU should have between UW by at least two scores. Not let themselves be pushed around

We didn't win because we had far less desire than UW. Pretty simple. You gotta want it not just expect it.

I have no idea if this is reality or not but it most certainly appeared UW WANTED to win and the urgency was reflected by their energy levels. Whereas Oregon seemed like they EXPECTED to win. Couple that with Bo probably being too amped up was not a good combo. Also, did the O and D lines seem way off in intensity? What a darn letdown. As a former D1 middle-distance runner I simply can't comprehend not giving your best in terms of mental focus especially against a rival that beat us 2 years in a row. And the ref blocking the pass and that guy coming out from out of bounds were two very odd plays. All in all that sucked.

Protip: don't believe you have won before the game starts.

Do I believe now? No I don't!

If I'm being honest, Beaver fan suffering pleases me more than seeing the Montlake Bundys fail.

From what little I have seen he is not a very good runner so that is concerning.

Snack Belly and his trademark "eat the buffet" should thank his lucky stars Mike B recruited and set the table so very very well for him.

I was out on him before he coached the first regular season game at Oregon. The young guys begged for him to come on board and then he promptly coached them to a sucky showing in the bowl game.

Is it illegal for Oregon to play well against The Tree?

I hope Coach Ultra can out-scheme Coach Prime.

For awhile I got sucked into Canzano and his very calculated clickbait methodology. But I came to the conclusion he cares not one iota about anything he writes about. He cares about clicks (all fine as he needs to make a living). So I find him to be an inescapably insincere public figure and thus don't read him anymore.

Thanks for all the replies. I am now certain I am an old fart.

After watching Wisconsin and other schools' ways of getting everyone hyped pregame or during timeouts I am again struck by how utterly bland and tired almost every aspect of the U of O's fan interaction happens to be. Of course, I like Shout (though the timing at basketball games is often poorly thought out) but other than that it seems hopelessly outdated and low rent cookie cutter. Any suggestions on what we might use as our pregame hype song or what else to improve the fan interaction? Or maybe I am just an old fart.

Very best wishes for your full recovery. Health is everything.

Are there examples of someone repeatedly performing poorly that then turns into an above-average contributor?

Guess it's time to demote him from Chief Keith to Assistant to the Assistant sub-Chief Keith
