  1. Koke took over for Zimmerman 23 years ago leading the team out on the field with the roaring Harley and the Duck hanging on with all his feathers. One game the throbing Harley starteled a Ref who threw a flag. A penalty was assessed on the kickoff. Thanks Doug. Enjoy your retirement.
  2. We hadn't had a chance to visit Hayward Field. What an outstanding facility. After 27 years season ticket holder I think I deserve those cushy seats with cup holders at Autzen. Hayward Hall is a dedication to Pre, Hayward, Bowerman, Dillinger and all the champions in Track and Field. We had dinner at The Wild Goat, smoked prime rib night, pretty, pretty good. As we crossed Franklin headed to Hayward we encountered thousands of students headed north towards the Riverfront. We wondered were they were going. Here's the answer: 5336 Freshmen. The largest class at Oregon
  3. Coach ain't heavy. He's my Brother. The Holleys
  4. The Faithful will show up just to see OBD beat the Tree. Students are back in school and will be rowdy having all day to party. We will miss some Portlanders not wanting to travel late at night. Last week was announced a sell out at 54,000+. Kelly's teams would sell standing room only with 60,000+.
  5. Every week OregonLive does a rundown on past Oregon players at their new team. Has anyone ever done a list of past Oregon coaches that continued coaching and their success. A good historian could start before John Robinson and McKay. We remember Jeff Tedford at Cal and Musgrave and Frost. Oregon has a long coaching line. Who do you remember?
  6. I am a man of few words and concise thoughts. Yesterday in a fit of disappointment I simply posted "BO PIX". This morning after reflecting on Bo's 468 yrd performance in the winning effort at the Palouse, I hereby rescind any derogatory inference in that post. I pledge to not deride Bo as long as he never throws more than one interception in any game for the remainder of his career at Oregon.
  7. DUCKS 42-24 TO 2 SACKS 4 PASS YRD 286
  8. One of my favorite moments in Autzen was at the 1990 BYU game. Ty Detmer on his successful Heisman campaign was sacked in the East end zone, where I was sitting. Two Duck fanatic's jumped over the wall and unfurled a sheet that was appropriately tie dyed with the lettering "TY DIED IN EUGENE OREGON". Let's do it again.
  9. A lot of our experts are close to what I was thinking, so I'll juggle my numbers and see how it goes. Oregon 49-13 3 TO 5 Sacks 365 Passing
  10. Ducks...... 24-20 TO... 2 Sacks.. 5 pass... 315
  11. Please post this on those "fuskys" site for me. I don't hang out at places like that.
  12. Well that explains that. I guess my speed reading method of scanning every other word leads to comprehension problems. At least it's in writing so I can remember it.
  13. What? Three hours and no predictions? All you guys on a 3 martini lunch. Ducks win. I'm a homer. At this time it is possible to have a perfect season. Four turnovers. Two sacks. 346 yards passing.
  14. You got me curious, OBD AP rank 2000-10: 7,2,nr,nr,nr,12,nr,23,10,11,3 2011-21: 4,2,9,2,19,nr,nr,nr,5,nr,22
  15. The only time I parked on campus, my buddy's wife worked there and had a lifetime parking pass. Not bad hike. There is a new parking garage close to the foot bridge. I imagine it will fill up early. LTD used to run shuttles, I think the UofO took over that service and uses school buses. They haven't posted the schedule for this year, but if they follow past years they will have parking at Valley River, Gateway area and Springfield. If you're an early morning person (after pub hopping at all the places you listed), park at Valley River, eat breakfast at Elmer's and catch the shuttle or better yet, walk along the river. It's about the same distance as walking from campus. To check up on current Autzen policies : Autzen Stadium GODUCKS.COM Autzen Stadium
  16. We've had OBD season tickets since the '95 Rose Bowl, have only missed two home games in that time and have had the opportunity to visit the Beav's and fuskey's. We made a pact with our football buddy couple to try and visit the other Pac 12 stadiums. Road trips to Utah, Pullman and Cal joined previous stops at the Rose Bowl, Coliseum and Tucson. As retirement and the pandemic arrived it left Tempe, Colorado and Stanford on the bucket list. Fixed income and rising expenses along with the collapse or expansion of the Pac 12 renders this list unobtainable at this point. I'm thinking a sunny beach with a margarita in my hand is a lot more enticing than a frozen stadium in the Big10.
  17. Google maps is your friend. You list Alesong and Tap and Growler, they are in the 5th Street Market complex. A dozen restaurants in two blocks. Wine tasting, distillery, ice cream, Gordon Tavern in namesake Hotel with Mex & margaritas on the top floor. Walk a few blocks over to Willamette and Broadway for VooDoo donuts and another 12 nightclubs. Younger crowd, bring an open mind. Ten blocks south on Willamette St( you will pass Claim 52 and falling Sky on 11th) to Beer Stein, catty corner is Mac's, top blues venue with a live band on the lawn. The Whitaker neighborhood has many of the other breweries you listed. Not a bad place on your list. In your spare time head over to Springfield, 4th & Main. Planktown Brewing, Brass Monkey Tiki Bar, a half dozen restaurants, then walk over to Public House Hub, a few more restaurants, tap house and a hard liquor bar in a repurposed church with stain glass windows.
  18. Norv was on my first list as well as Reggie Ogburn who spent time in the CFL as a QB, running back and receiver.
  19. Let's go back another 50 years with Oregon Ducks that were successful in the NFL. Starting in 1948 with Norm Van Brocklin and every decade since: George Shaw, Bob Berry, Dan Fouts, Chris Miller, Bill Musgrave and AJ Feeley.
  20. At 9:45 AM today, as he put on the Duck hat and spoke of his relationship with Lanning and Dillingham. (Which did not exist until recently!)
