Desert Duck

After today, I'm pretty confident that everyone around here is 100% in agreement with you.

Okay... that's just downright hilarious. But that picture is about the equivalent of a 49-3 opening season loss.

I will say that in the midst of the pain, I am finding some good humor around here.

But Charles, on another perhaps rather positive note, it sounds like you had about three times more people on the board during the game than you expected. So that's good news! And I'm looking for good news wherever I can find it at the moment

Amen & Amen. If my gut bomb breakfast didn't give me a coronary, my beloved Ducks nearly did. Thankfully, they pretty much put me out of my misery by halftime

LOL... While I see very little wisdom remotely come from California these days, after this game, I'm thinking you might just be onto something Clearly, my gut bomb breakfast did nothing to help.

But I genuinely appreciate your attempt to find some hope by using this comparative. Boise State did go on to have a 14-0 season... so they were a good team. The thing is, I expect that Oregon will have a rather respectful record at the end of the season against Pac-12 competition. The bummer there is that this may show how truly poor the quality of football that the Pac-12 has become.

We'll definitely do fine... in PAC-12 competition.

We lost by 11 to Boise State. We lost by 46 today. I can't even begin to remotely compare the two.

Unfortunately, we'd be be lucky to sniff the Top-50 right now.

No.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm thinking the Ducks might fall out of the Top-20.

That's just stone-cold... and true.

Is this Dawg 49-3 loss worse than that 70-21 Dawg loss a few years back?

Unfortunately, the really scary thing for the PAC-12, is that he may right.

History truly does repeat itself. That's the exact same stuff we were saying last year.

Patience. I think we're right on the edge of Nix leading us to a huge comeback. Wait for it.

You got a lot of company. But I would argue that it's time we recognize that, for the most part, it is the SEC, and everyone else. And it's only going to get worse for the rest of us going forward.

Remember though, the good news is that we play in the Pac-12 so we probably will do okay.

Gosh... thanks so much for the encouragement. That's just great news.

On the positive side, it looks like I'll be able to get to some of those projects on my list this afternoon. So I guess I should be thankful for that.

Hmmm... I'm not so sure. At the half, Offense put up a whopping 3 points so far. And the defense has given up 28 points. I'd say it's pretty much a tie regarding which one is most horrid.

Pac-12 football reality is a real bummer. But I think Oregon can still win around nine games... so that's a nice consolation price. Alamo Bowl --- here we come!

Yes

Bo - Thanks for visiting. You seem like a nice young man. Next QB up, please.
