Desert Duck

In 1954... and 1955 & 1956, Indiana had season records of 3-6 in each of these seasons. https://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/Indiana.htm

I think the kid wants to protect Dante.

Indiana 40-20 2 4 291

True. But there is much improvement to be had.

I think Moore is going to be a force to be reckoned with next season.

Make sense for him. And good for OBD.

I was wondering the exact same thing. Perhaps too many visits to one of the plethora of available Oregon 'dispensaries.' John may need to be reminded to not hit the stuff and then write after 8 p.m.

I find that putting on my red shoes and clicking my heels together while saying, "Happy Place, Happy Place, Happy Place," can help.

May Lono, the Hawaiian god of music, fertility, peace, agriculture, & rain, smile down upon you during this sacred time of Duck emotional and psychological healing. And may you rock the uke... always.

After attending the 2011 NCG and losing to Auburn in such a bizarre manner, I felt like I had been kicked in the nether region for about a week. Following this, I pretty much vowed to never allow that to happen again. To get so wrapped up into something I had less than zero control over made no sense. It was such a waste of personal & emotional resources. And after being led to the water so many times, only to not be allowed to drink, changed things for me over time. So, while I still love my Ducks, and I still get heavily wrapped up into the games, the hangover from getting our butts handed to us in the biggest games, just doesn't last for more than a few hours anymore, or at the most, a day.

With all due respect, nope. IU 38 - Miami 18

Your wife is right. When I saw Lanning's eyes as he came out of the tunnel, I thought, 'this does not bode well.' He did not look anything like his normal steely-eyed self. There was kind of a glaze there. Who knows, maybe he was under the weather. But regarding our fan attendance, yes, it was disappointing to see. But we also have to remember that Indiana has never "been there," so they have a lot of pent-up demand. After decades of roaming in the college football desert, when we finally made it to the Rose Bowl in January 1995, we had a great crowd there. And for a couple decades after that, I attended a large percentage of our away games, and bowl games. But after a lot of years, and after sinking so much cash into traveling and attending, all while not winning the big one, things do change for a lot of people. And, as I've gotten older, for me, priorities have simply shifted as well. But, regarding the bandwagon fan question, I suppose I've been a bandwagon fan now for 52 straight years, and will continue to be one. And while many of you put the "fanatic" back into the word "fan," that's just not me anymore.

Herbert & Mariota -- Both 3 star high school players. I be curious to know how many stars one of the greatest Oregon linebackers in history, as in Eugene's own -- and sophomore walk-on -- Bryce Boettcher, had out of high school.

Does Dante Moore Need Another Year in College Easiest question of the day. Yes. 1000% yes. If he was drafted by an NFL team right now and shoved into a starting role -- which would almost certainly be the case, NFL players would eat him alive. However, I think he has the potential to be a great future NFL quarterback. But if he came out now and was forced to start, the NFL would eat him for lunch. The kid is absolutely not NFL ready. Indiana is clearly college fast. But all NFL players basically operate at other-worldly, semi-warp-like, speed. Every NFL player who steps onto the grass is an incredible freak of nature, and our young man is simply not ready for that... yet.

Hey... We'll get 'em next year.
