    I look at it this way.  Would I be more stressed and nervous today if I were a Duck fan or Husky fan.  Although Huskies fans would probably never admit it, I would much rather be in the Ducks position with this team than the Huskies and their team.  For that reason, I am actually more calm this week than I was for Utah, USC and OSU.  Anything can happen in football and there are no guarantees but I actually think this one might play out like Utah.  Bo Nix is a winner and just a great person.  Rooting for him to finish this dream season with both the Heisman and the CFP.  Leaders lead and he is a winner and a leader.   I honestly believe this is the best, most well-rounded Duck team in all my 60 years of following them and rooting for them.   

    This is exactly how I feel. I have been distracted this week with moving into a new house. But I too feel that the mutt fans have to be totally stressed out, especially with the shade they have thrown at the Ducks and fans based on a narrow escape at home. The victory that they tout is one I would have left the stadium, as one of their fans, with my head tucked into my trench coat and looking nervously around each shoulder. Hoping that no one was trying to call me back and explain that the game was infact won by the Ducks.

     

    I feel very confident and I can not see how a fuskie fan could have any feeling like that. Especially after the play of each team after that game.

     

    If by chance we don’t come out on top, I will be disappointed, but not crushed. This team is just the foundation of a long future of sucess. Although I so want to finish this season as the lifetime reigning Pac-12 Champions, I’m just as excited at taking the B1G by storm and knowing that they are already wondering what they have done by allowing us to crash their party.

  2. I went to the first CFP game against FSU and free crab legs. It was an amazing experience. The Ducks alumni had put together a number of pregame get togethers and it was posted on the ducks page. I would just keep your search engine open and looking for Ducks pregame activities. You will be able to find the pep rally and the tailgate spots. Have a great time, you will have a life altering experience. The stadium is awesome as well.

    No flag on that body slam?

    Or the helmet to helmet on the next play. I wish I could say this is the worst officiated game I've ever seen in the PAC-12. But we all know that can't be.

  4. As much as I would have loved to see the fuskies get beat yesterday. I think the Ducks path to the CFP is through a no loss fuskie team in Vegas. I might be wrong, but it would be to our advantage to beat stronger better ranked teams down the stretch. I was happy that the Utes beat USuC because I think everyone in the nation except the USuC fan base know the real condoms. We will be heavely favored in our home game against them. Provided we can beat the Utes in the hostile confines of Eccles stadium and win the two games we should win before the condoms come to Autzen.

    Sure, it took them a while to get going, but the only guy I saw sleeping out there was Devin Richardson (#8 for WSU) before Herbert trucked him. I can only imagine how the film review will go for him on that play

    Not just film review. It has been played and highlighted on all the national college game programs. That play might fit into a Duck highlight reel or hype video for years to come.

  6. It doesn’t make me feel better. ND is suspect and USC is showing what we knew they were. I would rather the USuC farce would have made it to our game with them undefeated and outragously ranked as they have been. The farce would have worked in our favor.

     

    But if being honest with myself, I knew that this was coming and it could be that USuC will not even be ranked by the time they come to Autzen. We would be better off if we run the table going forward against what is perceived as strong opponents. It is my belief that USuC is not one of those. Their defense is completely suspect and has shown that when they play a team that can score, they will be on the short end of the scoreboard.

     

    But, we still hold our fate in our own hands, if we can win out and rematch with the puppies on a neutral site. So, nevermind. I do like seeing the condoms getting trounced. 

  7. I don’t think you will ever see a Home/Away scedule with Alabama. The only time they travel out of conference boundries is for a CFP game. This may change if the balance of power changes from the SEC. But as of now, why would they? Don’t get me wrong, I wish they would, but I don’t see any reason under the current climate for them to change.

  8. I don’t think the rest of the nation appreciates the power of the Pac-12 conference and the difficulty that there is in winning an away game in the Dessert or at Pullman. The article mentions the difficulty in beating Purdue, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Penn State or Iowa. I would counter that the Pac-12 is just as or more difficult to run the table.

     

    The conferences play different styles of football and the Pac-12 has usually struggled with post season, because of the lack of smash mouth defense. But Utah, Washington and OBD are migrating to that style of play and building complete teams. The Ducks more so then the others. That is changing with the portal and the excellent recruiting of the entire Duck coaching staff.

     

    Oregon under Dan Lanning is becoming the kind of team that competes in all aspects of the game. Offense, Defense and Special Teams. I like where we are headed and I think it will only get better as the few recruits that we would miss out on in the past will gladly come now that we will be out of the shadow of the Pac 12 network and on national TV or playing to a national audience on the B1G Network every week. I have YouTubeTV and I have at least 4 B1G Network channels. 

     

    I hate that the Pac-12 is no longer after this year. Especially as we see how good the conference is this year. But I don’t fear the B1G, I expect we will be amongst the contenders and putting fear into Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State having to come to Autzen. We have already shown that we can go there and win.

  9. Well, I am grateful those of you that have the Pac 12 network for sharing the highlights of this game. I tried to follow it on ESPN gamecast, but after the half that stopped working. I’m glad to hear that TT had a good showing, it was always my impression that he was not getting the coaching and developement that he needed. 

     

    It is no wonder that the Pac 12 is so to be defunct, as last week there were only 7 games one of them had the #6 rated team in the nation and a paultry 13 million households were able to watch on the Pac 12 network. This week Our Beloved Ducks were relegated to the Pac 12 Network. Pity.

    Try this one - much better!

     

     

    YES! This is what I’m talking about. I’m so ready now. I just watched the Ducks completely embarrass the previously #5 USuCk condoms in 2009. It was great live on halloween 2009 and just as awesom today.

    I can agree that this isn't as good as previous videos.

     

    My enjoyment comes from the actual game of football during the season.  I would watch the Ducks whether they played Georgia or Portland State.

     

    My reason for posting was football is coming.  I can't wait until off season is over!  One more week. 

     

    "Welcome to Autzen Stadium..." is music to my ears!

    I definitely appreciate the share, I was just underwelmed. I hope there will be better ones that come out. I do think it needs some catchy upbeat music with announcer voiceovers. My all time favorite was “I love my Ducks”  It did get overplayed, but still it gets the goosebumps popping. Also love the stadium song Comining Home. I think a great hype video could be done with this song. “I left my heart in Oregon”. Just listing to this song gets the Autzen vibe going. Come on, some one with more creative ability then me, make this happen. If by chance there is one already out there, please share it. Aside from the awesome in game video shown on the big vidoe board.
