It’s not the number of wins. It’s how the seasons end and how Oregon performs on the biggest stages time and time again.

Sadly, I might be done. I haven’t liked the direction of college football for awhile now and this might be the final straw for me. I need a long break and then we’ll see but, as of right now, I’m not sure Oregon football is worth the time and constant disappointment any longer.

I’m really starting to doubt this logic… Like someone said Cig can come and win a national championship at the loosingest program in NCAA history in his second season with a bunch of 2 and 3 star recruits but Oregon has been investing and paying its dues for 2 decades without anything to show for it.

As someone else mentioned, I would be tempted to get one of the young QBs in the game to see what they can do.

This is embarrassing. I don’t know if it’s good or bad news that Dante Moore will be back next year…

Looks like we are going to have to win in a high scoring game and I don’t trust our offense to do so.

It doesn’t appear that the Texas Tech game defense showed up…

Jay Harris looking good so far. Be hilarious if he won game MVP…

Nice bounce back. Great block by Witt on that TD.

Dante needs another year…

Looks to be 95%. Road game for Oregon.

Hopefully he stayed at a Holiday Inn last night…

I hear you but it’ll be painful to watch Mario (Miami) or Cig (Indiana) host the championship trophy instead of Lanning (Oregon). Oregon has been building for this moment longer.

Jordan - Game 6!

Some to the key takeaways: • Oregon should have an advantage on the defensive line against Indiana’s offensive line, particularly in the middle where they dominated the first match • Oregon’s young secondary has improved throughout the season • While Oregon hasn’t lit up the scoreboards against the best competition, neither has Indiana

This person claims that Oregon is the favorite to land A.J. Harris from Penn State. Not sure if he would play corner, nickel or safety for Oregon but he looks like a heck of a player (wish we had him available tonight).

Wishing you a smooth surgery and a fast recovery. Thank you for all that you do on this site. I enjoy your takes. Go Ducks! Win one for Mike!!!

I don’t know how he walks back in that building. The damage is done. How are his teammates and coaches going to respect him? He should just transfer. However, he is damaged goods now and many teams would not touch him. Hopefully this is a painful learning opportunity for him and others.

Kenyon Barner on his podcast said that Coach Lanning was not happy after the James Madison game and “was on everybody’s head” (3:05 below). He let everyone know from the coaches to the players that they did not play up to The Standard. Hopefully Coach Lanning lit a fire under Coach Stein and company’s behind this week and Coach Lupoi and company can continue to dominate on D. We are going to need all engines firing to win the next two games, starting with the one one Friday evening. Go Ducks!!! Just Do It!

My post and GW’s podcast was not about Williams or the high profile transfers looking for million dollar NIL deals. Those are the exemptions but are the ones that get all of the media attention. Most of the transfer portal players are looking for a better situation for themselves (e.g., more playing time, an opportunity to prove themselves at a higher level of competition, a change of scenery, somewhere that can develop them better). IIRC, it sounds as though GW’s son was injured and then was passed on the depth chart (by a younger player?). He had a conversation with his coach and is looking for an opportunity to play but it’s been hard because he doesn’t have a lot of game film to show the new potential teams/coaches. We’ve seen examples of players transferring to Oregon to get an opportunity to play at a higher level (Bucky, Tez) and/or increase their draft stock (Gonzo, Bo). It’s not all bad but the system definitely needs an overhaul.

Oregon great George Wrightster (GW) has an interesting take from a parent of a player looking to transfer in search of more playing time. While the headliners get all of the attention, GW said that it’s hard for players without a lot of playing time to transfer because they don’t have game tape. It’s easier for blue chip players, who have relationships with other coaches from their recruitment to get another opportunity. Obviously it’s easier if you go down to a lessor school or level.
