So Arizona plays a better ranked Oklahoma and the Beavs play a better ranked Notre Damn and the Ducks get a nothing burger to go game against a team that was not ranked all year and hasn't played nor beaten a single quality team. Its absurd
Thi$ committee is a joke.
$o many options for better gains and games, for better TV, for better attendance, and for setting the hype for next year.
tOSU v UO would fill AZ and set up next year.
Thi$ is likely about corrupt ignorant power hungry old idiots on the take.
There isn't one $ingle logical reason to put forth this po$t season schedule where the Ducks play a nobody whi played nobody. Its a sick fraud.
These people are either corrupted by outside money or $imply idiots. Id check their ca$h positions. I bet these clown$ are on the take.

The money is 3/1 coming in favor of the Purple people yet the line isn't Dropping.
Vegas knows something. The late big money often a tell.
Right now, Vegas likes the Ducks. ALOT

Im not quite sure how people derive the mentally broken aspect independent of an injury caused emotional reaction.
Watching him be escorted/ helped off the field with someone supporting his throwing arm looked more like an injured player, possibly thinking his season might be in jeopardy and hiding the emotions of recognizing its all over.
Can anyone name a QB who was uninjured who didn't celebrate an undefeated regular season? It just seems highly implausible that he was having a breakdown independent of another factor like an injury.
I think there is some sort of injury making him think he might be done and that would make laying 7.5 a steal.

…8 game league schedule to pad league win totals in the now sufficiently larger league of TV and recruiting markets that will warrant a bigger better media deal.
The league should then work hard to remedy the deficiency’s of each schools best tv sport teams and then continue to grow the competitiveness of every pac 12 school while also play the same slick game the SeC does by scheduling an ooc game near the end of the season.

I’m really surprised to see Seven go. Players have to adjust to sharing the rock in this offense which has to be more difficult for those further down the pecking order.
I noticed Nix had serious words for McGee in the UCLA game after what I assume was some sort of miscommunication between the two after a play. It will be interesting to see what his reasoning for leaving at this point in what appears to be a great season for the team. I wish him nothing but the brightest of futures.
Agreed, like Pittman, leaving midseason screams quitter and ME guy. Even if you plan to transfer why not get better, practice, work out, get treatment, take classes and get better for the next stop?
who knows. Hudson gets hurt or gets a case of the ddddrops and suddenly he is starting and still building a resume or possibly never looking back and continuing to making plays. He eliminated options, had no deadline, and now looks like a quitter.
Any guy joined my team after quitting mid season I’d be leery. Best of luck regardless but not his finest hour.

As I wrote in another thread....Dilly has only been here seven games and we're discussing his departure? I am going to savor this special time, and enjoy the scoring and not worry about the negative until it actually comes...if it even does.
My first thought in looking at a matchup is always which team can;
Run the ball?
Stop the run?
pressure the QB?
The Ducks look much stronger in every aspect and given Cal’s offensive line inconsistency
Accordingly, I suspect Cal suffers badly on offense and cannot match Oregon.
This game shouldn’t be close and should be over by half. However Turnovers and big plays always being the asterisk that exists in every college football road game.
-
Great stuff, Pato pescado.
DL seems head and shoulders above the 8 million dollar man whose game management skills were legitimately repeatedly in question.
I sense an aggressiveness tempered by a calculated data driven approach.
If the offense can continue to be efficient and the defense improves commensurately the Ducks will be a tough out.
It might still yet be a small sample size but I have a lot more confidence in this staff and that they are a no stone left unturned group of coaches taking the program to new heights.

I’m always a bit leery of reading too much into a brief moment such as captured by a photo, especially for emotions. Faces move through many expressions in a short period of time and not all of them reflect a longer term emotional state. A good example is a photo said to be showing Lanning snarling. Seeing the video where Lanning made this face makes me wonder if Lanning had a runny noise and was trying to clear it
.
You are so correct. Taking photos out of video is very distorting.
This Guy makes 8 million a year and is a happy fun jovial lighthearted loyal funny guy and look what he looks like

Agreed.
The pass coverage has had some lapses and play recognition isn’t always happening fast enough.
Justin Flowe has really special physical tools but seems out of position at times and has missed some tackles.
The speed and size is there amongst the group. I suspect they just aren’t quite there yet mentally to play fast and loose.
However, there’s been a team wide improvement week to week which bodes well for what might yet be in store for Oregon’s Linebacking Corp.

Imo, it won't be a head coaching job Kenny's looking for but a chance to take his Offense to the NFL. If O loses him, it'll likely be there. Either way, it'll be a dirty crying shame we couldn't keep him here long enough to help DL win Oregon a National Championship.
Interesting. Hadn’t really thought he’d get that type of jump up but coaching is crazy and the NFL is going young.
For not having called plays before he’s throwing multiple combos out of similar sets and really forcing defenses to be on point.
Yesterday I felt that Dilly served the master with a taste of his own medicine. It was a thing of beauty.
co-head coach and a big raise for. 5 year lock?

It might be time to talk to Dilly’s agent about creating enough incentive to keep him from entertaining a HC spot too soon.
I love all of the coaches and what Dan Lanning is leading but the Offense and play calling has been elite at times.
Kenny Dillingham has as much to do with the success as anyone.
Dilly won’t be around long without more. Can the Ducks offer enough?

DTR: Definition of poor loser?
Lost some respect for DTR after those comets. You got beats, son.
Oregon was better than your guys, DTR, and you know why they didn’t perform?
They didn’t perform because the Ducks didn’t let them.
Bruins scored 3 when Oregon scored 7. The Ducks were better on offense, defense, special teams, and coaching.
Sore loser and bulletin board material for any rematch.
-
Dan Lanning was gracious and classy after the game deflecting credit away from himself.
Mario also deflected away during his presser throwing part of the team under the bus and suggesting some people need to leave. motivating.
Oregon has a better Coach than Miami and it’s really fun to watch fun exciting dominant football again.

Next week kinda makes me nervous.
Are you watching them against the Purple mutts? Call’s offensive line is playing terrible. The offense looks weak.
Call’s defense looks ok but I sure don’t suspect that Cal can stop Oregon enough times given their offensive woes and Oregon’s size speed and depth.
Next week I suspect we will see a massive difference in the Jimmys and Joes.

Impressive on so many levels.
Kenny D deserves immense credit for an unstoppable offense and creative play calling.
Despite some missed tackles the defense is showing up and making plays. The secondary deserves some credit.
The improvement is showing and I love it.
-
Run the ball, stop the run, pressure the QB.
Those three usually produce victory. Ducks are awfully good at two.
Making DTR uncomfortable and even putting him on the turf early is the difference maker. If he can escape the pocket or get time it might be a track meet.

This might be superficial, but I wouldn’t trust Feld to get my coffee, let alone understand the subtleties of preventive therapy.
And we all sure saw a lot of Feld—that guy really knows how to find the lens.
Agreed. I’m not certain the stash act is 100% genuine. Like you suggest he always knew where the cameras were and both he and Mario always seemed to have contrived personas over simply being genuine.

I hope that many members will take the five minutes to read this, ponder it and give me feedback. Our rules have evolved nicely, but there is a grey area that I am having trouble with and will continue to over time. It has to do with criticizing current players and coaches, as we allow it and encourage it when it is pertaining to player performance and coaching decisions.
We do not allow anyone to get personal in their posts toward players and coaches. (This only pertains to current coaches and players; everyone else in the world is fair-game) The thinking is that since we are a "high-brow" site, and parents do read stuff here about their sons as players....a line should be drawn, and I agree with that sentiment.
Obvious Examples:
"Lupoi is a Bonehead."
"Something has always really bothered me about Moorhead. This guy has documented serious health problems and is obese. And he looks like he's 70 years old. Well, he just turned 48!"
“Our basketball players have embarrassing low intelligence.”
“Dan Lanning needs to get a good tailor. He looks sloppy during press conferences and games. Not anything like a leader of young men should look. Lanning looks like he should be selling insurance or maybe used cars.”
“So Dillingham brought in a Dodo to lead a flock of Ducks, who are trying to be Eagles. Sounds about right. I wonder who is the bigger Dodo...the Dodo that brought in a Dodo, thinking he had an Eagle or the actual Dodo? Dillingham worked with Nix at Auburn."
Above are actual examples of obvious violations where the OBD member got personal in his/her criticism, and we deleted the posts. (And the OBD members received a notification/reminder email from me)
What is the Problem?
It is the grey areas....as to how far members can go before we cross the line as personal?
"I don't want to see Turnover-Thompson playing anymore." (I did not like having a label like that pinned on a player...but is it that bad?)
"Please, please, please...Never play Ty Thompson again...Horrible." (This one is referring to player performance, but still makes me uncomfortable)
"TT is like someone who has an UZI but doesn’t know when to pull the trigger and where to put the bullets." (This one is also referring to player performance, but doesn't it imply intelligence?)
See what I mean? The three above are much tougher, as I get responses from OBD members who tell me that, "Charles, I can't write anything without being in violation! Can't I express my thoughts about a player doing poorly?"
Look, I don't want to be blowing my time on trying to establish where the line is...and no matter what I do, someone gets bent-out-of-shape when they get an email from me.
Leave the Benign Ones?
Most would say that many of my violation emails sent are for benign offenses, and that is true. But I’ve learned the hard way that the analogy provided by NJDuck is true; you must pull a weed, (remove the violating post) even if it is small and benign.If you leave it, others on the forum will now see the “new low-bar” and begin doing the same behavior, thus I have more weeds to deal with. And the original one left alone feels emboldened and does the violation again, and thus I have a bigger weed to deal with.
Pull them all, even if benign? If they break the rules, then it is a violation no matter how high or low the level? FishDuck Feedback please!
How do you want this forum moderated as both someone who is posting and dealing with me, and as someone reading it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the Rules:
No. 26: Do not get personal in judgments of the current Players or Coaches: We allow commenting about the current players and coaches as that is what message boards and forums are all about. Second-guessing coaches and judging player performance is what everyone does, but we must not get personal or nasty toward them. Questioning a play-call or whether a tackle should have been made (Performance-related) is fine, and give your thoughts as to why in one direction or the other.Whether a coach should be retained or a player replaced is also fair-game because they know they are in the public sphere and that goes with the territory. Let's discuss, but Ad Hominem attacks on them are forbidden.
(Former Oregon players and coaches do not have Rule 26 protections once they leave Eugene, as they sometimes do objectionable things that deserve to be called out.)No such rules with current or former coaches at other teams, their players, their fans, journalists or anyone other than current Oregon coaches and players. So go for it and have fun!
I try to resist Value judgements, criticism of specific actions is acceptable.
One cannot criticize or demean the character of another but may freely criticize a specific behavior or statement of another.
Example;
Mario is horrible. -No
Mario's coaching was horrible -ok.
It’s subtle but valuable technique as the value judgement is irrevocable and a statement of character and action or word specific criticism is more limited
And directed.-

UCLA has a solid physical RB, a good passing game with an experienced QB. They are a formidable opponent.
Add in an improved and successful run defense and UCLA has good reason to concern Duck fans.
This like every game is just another test of the coaches and players. I trust the process. The Ducks are getting better.
So far the Ducks are best at running the ball and stopping the run. That usually matters a lot.
I think this game once again comes down to the Ducks needing above average man coverage and a meaningful pass rush. Both offenses will score points.
Offensively the secondary, like Oregon, is the perceived weakest area for UCLA and Bo needs to be smart and accurate and take advantage of that.
Running the ball well opens the passing game up and with Bo’s running ability in the forefront of Dilly's mind there are innumerable ways to exploit any weakness. The Ducks are explosive and versatile as a result.
I think this week is football 101. Run the ball, stop the run, pressure the QB. Good on Good
This team is the same players but a very different team from week one. UCLA will be another great measuring stick. Let’s just hope the Ducks aren’t beat with that stick.

I was forced by security to walk in front of the student section and got chew spit dumped on me. Fortunately the Leo’s saw the little twat grabbed him.
