I preferred the “old” conference alignment where they were ALL regional and there were bowl games that mattered, with some tradition associated with them. I really didn’t mind that some years there were two different schools in separate regions both claiming they were the best. But I’m an old guy, traditional, and am certainly very proud of what OBD has become, and with the current environment I am glad they are now a part if B1G.

Part of the evaluation process is “defenseless player”, which they usually rule out one a “football move” is made. Problem with that play was that the runner was absolutely defenseless because someone had their arms wrapped around his body and was riding him to the ground. The runner could do nothing to protect himself in that situation. Glad he wasn’t injured, but wouldn’t be surprised if he has a sore neck for a few days.

I’ll admit here and now that ALL the kids playing for OBD are far better that I ever was, and for coaching, I’ve never been offered a job to coach football at any level. Therefore, they’re all better players and smarter coaches. So I’ll just wince occasionally, when somebody makes a mistake. When a coaching decision doesn’t work out, I’ll groan a little. Otherwise, I’ll watch and enjoy. And here on the forum, I’ll read with pretty much the same reactions. I appreciate what you are doing here Charles. I hope you don’t end up regretting this decision.

And Hayward Field.

Glad you’re back! Been staying logged out and checking a couple of time a day until, voila! I’m in. Thanks for your commitment and effort to this project. There are many “silent” readers like me, I’m guessing. Thanks again.

I’ve got to admit, I was six years old and I missed it too.

Charles, so grateful for this site. I’ve enjoyed browsing it daily for years now, never seeing the nastiness that sometimes appears on o5er sites. And there’s a lot of knowledge found here that has helped me enjoy this fabulous Ducks flight we’ve been on, especially since the arrival of Dan L. Duck himself.

Good thing Herbie’s opinion only matters to him! I probably care as much about his opinion as he does mine (not at all).

Committed? How about “strongly interested “ or “leaning toward”.

Once real football games are being played again, nobody will care what the PAC/2 does. Right now, they occasionally do things that create fodder for a bit of speculation and conversation. Reality is, both OSU and WSU have Couged it.

Somehow, it’s easy to imagine a game where Michigan dominates, and loses. It’s been that kind of year.

At least no SEC in championship.

Talkin Ducks is also back on Root TV if you get that station.

Too simple. “They” will never do something that easy, but they should.
