Fathertime

I just have this awful feeling that the best referees in the world, will either make this tough on our Ducks or even take it from them. Too bad we can't import neutral referees. I'm going to the game. Does anyone know if there are going to be any pregame festivities?

The best thing to come out of this is that I will have the chance to have been at the first PAC-12 Championship game, UCLA vs OBD, and I get to go to the last PAC-12 Championship game. It's really kind of sad.

Ok, moved up one. Beat them and we are in CFP

Agreed. Oregon will have 2/3 of the stadium behind them.

This weekend should be a good indicator for our match-up with USC. Especially on the defensive side of the ball. If Colorado scores as many points a ASU did on the Trojans, they might be in trouble when we play. I'm sure that Riley will let Williams have his Heisman moment and play him until deep into the fourth quarter, but defensively they are going to be in trouble against us, think 2012.

While FSU and Clemson would be great, who is going to pay their ACC buyout? CAL is pretty much cannon fodder, at least OSU is respectable in many more sports. I doubt that FOX would let OSU in before CAL from a financial stand point. And lets face it, FOX is driving this bus.

First; let me apologize for writing this, I'm sure that Charles will flag this but I'm going to write it anyway. I believe that the defense that is being build is very close to what Lanning put together at Georgia and defense wins championships. I am also sorry the USC has decided to burst-out of the PAC-12 and run out to the Big 10, but you all know what they say about Trojans and pressure, and surely they can't handle the pressure. 🙂 Go Ducks.

Now flip Rushing and the future will look pretty bright for the defense. I very much like the addition of Mothudi. I believe that he has all the making of a tremendous LB either inside or outside. How about TE?

I have to agree with Duck Fan. Having coached on the other side of the line should be a nice advantage. I also like the fact that there are past players who are behind him. And his youth as far as recruiting should also be an advantage.

Ok, so now go get the two for. Sign DJ Uiagalelei and Matayo.

Now the question is can Moore cool his ego enough to learn under Nix for a year?

When Jackson was three and we took him to Stanford.

"I have an 11 year old who has lived in 8 states, the last thing that I would ever want to do is leave." Great recruiting on his part using, family, team, support, and fans. I believe that he will stick around, and I believe that he knows it will only get better, look at the sellouts already. Personally, I get to finally bring my 8 year old grandson to Autzen for a game and it justs happens to be the Utah game. I hope he gets to see the whole Autzen experience.

Nope, we are better and classier than them. Just win, baby. Get into the playoff pool, inspite of the SEC bias, show well, and keep Bo for another year. National Champions next year.

I was thinking today about the number of times that we have played USC since 2011 as opposed to the other Southern teams, as the PAC 12 was: Utah 8 Colorado 9 UCLA 7; 8 if you want to count the 2011 Championship game ASU 7 Arizona 9 USC 5 I'm just trying to figure out why we didn't play them this year, or many others. Oh well, we keep a clean slate and we beat them in the Championship game and maybe we play them next year before they run and hide from us forever.

I wonder if they are like my current freshmen who think that there the smartest. 🤨

Look at the crowds since 2011, how many times did we really need a bigger stadium? Nothing worse than playing in a stadium that's half full and not rocking. Right Bruins, Cardinals, Bears? You might be able to add 7,500 seats and still keep Autzen, Autzen; even in the Taggart of times. Besides, what else is there to do in Ohio this time of year? Beach, ocean, mountains?

Can you count #10 and #12 as PAC 12 teams since some think of them as Big 10 teams already?

Way better than the stats after week one. I just afraid that week one debacle is going to bite us somewhere.

Even the FOX broadcast talked about Dilly and the ASU job. Pay him and figure out how we keep Bo for another year.

As it should be. Unfortunately, lets see how we slide over the next two weeks playing CAL and Colorado.

MIC And imagine being a recruit with 105,000 and watching your team lose to an away team with an inferior coach; as opposed to watching your team win with a coach who has some bravado aganst a coach who we know has some bravado. Just thinking that Dan Lanning "Won the Day."

I'm beginning to hate AP. Way too much SEC bias. I'm not an expert, but the Coaches poll on ESPN is close to what I thouoght except UCLA and TCU switch. Watching the Atlanta / Niners game and I am so glad to see that Mariota is finally getting the chance to show off his skills.

I'd call Troy Taylor, the HC at Sac State. Take a look at their numbers.

I thinking the DL needs more. We didn't get Hicks. Then look at RB and is Dowdell really etched in stone?
