Really? I’ll bet you Charles Fischer’s lunch that another Duck road win, at Utah, won’t drop the Ducks behind Tosu.

Gruden to USC. Let the haters hate.

Then whom do you play at QB? Are you willing to risk losing just to experiment with a younger player. The Ducks are in control of their destiny. Win out and they will be undisputed champions. I get the frustration at not seeing a strong consistent downfield passing game. I don’t get the repeated griping about AB bring the QB. He’s gives the best shot at winning. That’s all that matters.

ESPN wants the Ducks and PAC12 out. They are in bed with the SEC. Win out and that will shut them all up.

#21 is looking special. Mastro salivated at getting him. I see why. the natural vision, effective studder step fluid hips and quick burst. Understands north snd south. He’s also got a different body than Dye or Verdel, already. An off-season in the weight room is going to do good things fir him. He’s going to be a 225 pound fast twitch freak in two years. The RB room looks really good going forward.

Winning out is the path. Leave no questions. 1-0 is what gets that done. They still don’t look like a championship team but show progress every week. It’s torture to watch on occasion but they finish.

Has anyone invited Jimmy lake to discuss this thread. There’s real prowess on this board. I hear he has a night off. Im gonna go eat some 3.14

Love the resilience not giving up a TD after the long play. AB looking decisive and protecting the football. His ability on the read option and 230lbs is a real asset. The Dye name at Oregon, forever

Are you sure? The committee didn’t think so even before today’s loss. The pundits griping about an undefeated 8-0 OU are going to have a lot to say, none of it good. Ducks control their destiny. Win out and there will be nothing but praise. Utah not showing well at Arizona.

The X factor with the Ducks is health which has led to inconsistent lineups and multiple position changes. Does the defense take another step today with a more consistent lineup? They are either getting better or getting worse. Nobody stays the same.

Same as My experience getting to bed a supermodel. Really enjoyed it. Knew it wasn’t a long term deal.

41-24. 1,2, 235

Your not wrong but I think just letting the reality of how progress happens dampen your sense about reaching the destination I think it will get a lot easier. I see the program as setting up for an ever more dominant run. Two more recruiting classes to complete the MC team. when it’s top talent and physical specimens at every position and still no playoffs and continued annual losses against bad teams then I’ll grumble with you. Im still VERY optimistic. This year is a huge challenge still. it’s gonna take a story book run. If we’re having this conversation two years from now

Then isn’t it equally premature to suggest MC will never win a title? That he’s only a recruiter and will never be more? All I did was compare clemsons weak conference to the PAC 12. Never did I suggest we are Clemson during their undefeated run. But we could be. Your prediction doesn’t even allow for the possibility.

Perhaps but what your suggesting is that MC is only a recruiter and will be what he was, is, and that he has reached his ceiling as a 50 year old second time head coach who is still two recruiting classes away from having the team be all his making for a school that didn’t originally plant to hire him as HC. MC is growing along with the program. Stanford loss was ugly but I think your being a bit harsh in negating any growth or possibility of said in MC snd his staff and similarly ignoring that the Ducks are one of the youngest rosters in division one. Respect comes from beating the top teams in big games. People forget the season once the playoffs start. Clemson did just fine rolling a weak ACC each year.

Forget everyone else. Let them be losers. MC is building something. Name one other school where the trajectory is even noticeably upwards in the p12? OSU? it’s a different feel now at Oregon. Still two more signing classes before it’s a 100% MC team. I like the way it’s going.

It’s a tad disappointing to think on actually. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a several year lackluster Lake team and the associated recruiting implosion? A couple more years of Lake and watch a decade of mediocre husky teams?

WSU scores 25ish a game. This ain’t the air raid

Road whites???

Why it would be so impressive to beat Utah twice beat OSU a second time and then get Georgia twice in a row after that, albeit one, next season. TV commentators dream and would leave no doubts with anyone. personally I’d like a double Utah, bama, Georgia schedule. Another path that leaves no doubts.

Winning Double Utah Double OSU with all of them either road or neutral and then Georgia would be an unambiguous statement about the program especially considering the injuries. When you look at that path it’s not hard to see the 3% prediction on espn.

I liked it when the Ducks picked up AB. He’s certainly not been perfect, been criticized fully, booed at home but consistently come through in the clutch. If the Ducks win out it’s likely two games against a talented Utah team and possibly Bama and Georgia to follow. Could the Ducks best Utah twice and pull off beating Alabama and then Georgia in the playoffs? If they do the AB story will be the stuff of legends movies and Hollywood. AB has come a long time way. Does he have it in him?

WSU will win the Apple cup. Ive received similar reaction and insinuations of a “lucky” win. to which I replied; The only Lucky part is how poorly coached and how inept Washington really is from year to year. We in the Pac12 north are so lucky that you arrogant loudmouth hiny sniffing scavengers have no talent ability coaching or even integrity from year to year. Had the people dressed in hooker fake gold and prostitute purple had actual prowess, yes they might have had a chance to use the momentum given to them as a lucky gift in quarter one for more than some fan yapping and middle fingers by the idiot students without shirts spelling out dawggystyle. Nothing quite like showing ones arrogant overconfidence and lack of class in the first quarter and watching your team cave in the rain to your masters. when the other team rushes for over 300 luck has little to do with it!

The implosion continues in Seattle. Jimmy lake benched for one game. Lol

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Not a forgone conclusion AT ALL. Georgia’s offense isn’t special.
