If only there were only a “thumbs down” emoji… He would probably go down as the first guest picker on Gameday to pick the visiting team.

Marcus is also going to be inducted into the University of Oregon Hall of Fame this year so that would make sense. Plus, you won’t find a better representative for the school.

This reminds me of the Indiana game. Gameday coming to Eugene. Double digit favorite at home. Hopefully Oregon’s coaches and players learned from that game and handle it better this time around. USC certainly has the offense and athletes to beat anyone on any given Saturday. Oregon needs to play a clean game and execute.

Not to mention the fewest defensive yards allowed per play in all of college football. Fragile teams roll over when faced with adversity. Oregon is 9-1 and has showed that they can win in any conditions or type of game. Bring it!

Another solid episode. Dante Moore’s name may be next to the 90% completion percentage in Oregon’s record book but watching the video shows some of the incredible catches (diving, in traffic, adjusting to the ball in the air, dragging a toe to stay in bounds) by our receivers/tight ends that made it possible, along with the incredible pass protection. Well done all around. It was fun to watch.

ESPN/ABC has completely “jumped the shark” this year and has no more credibility when it comes to covering the SEC. My advice to their top college football analysts would be to leave the network before their professional reputations are permanently damaged. Someone asked why ESPN is no longer pushing one of their favorite metrics (FPI). Perhaps it’s because the top 3 teams in college football are B1G teams by their own metric?! ESPN2025 College Football Power Index - ESPNView the 2025 College Football power index on ESPN. The FPI is the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season.

It was a little different. Byron intentionally dropped the ball before he crossed the goal-line. Whereas, it appeared that Whittington lowered the ball a little and then inadvertently bumped it with his leg. I’d like to see our players emulate LMJ and just hand the ball to the official after they cross the goal line but I’m old school.

I’m a bit surprised and think Franklin could have done better, if he waited. Franklin at Florida State would have been a great hire. FSU is more talented than the majority of teams they play and their fans would be happy winning 10+ games per year and making the playoffs.

And yet, USC is featured in the lyrics of the college gameday intro. song while Oregon is just one of many teams mentioned as part of the list…

It’s funny how close we are to hosting Alabama…

If Oregon makes it into the college football playoffs, I would not mind (I) hosting a home game and (II) being on the other side of the bracket from Ohio State.

That means quarterbacks Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, Marcus Mariota, and all other former Oregon athletes that play for said teams will all be available that weekend if GameDay calls.” I like the idea of both Nix and Franklin as Oregon’s guest pickers (if that’s permitted), especially since they just had a great play to set up the game winning FG against Kansas City this past weekend.

That actually may hurt the Ducks, if we drop another game. I’m rooting against all of the teams with 2-loses.

Unbelievable. South Carolina shows why they have a losing record. Need to keep them out of the end zone here.

Former Oregon WR recruit Harbor scored a 80+ yard TD for the Cocks.
