  1. Gloating my hatred of the fuskies is much more rational. It’s built on a Long tradition of abhorrent behavior by disgusting humans wearing hooker purple and streetwalker faux gold. I am grateful however for the poor coaching and mediocre recruiting of the Jimmy lake tenure. May the slide to further irrelevance continue. it should lead to many more seasons of enjoyment and more Gloating.
  2. Defense winning this game. Offense making some strides but timing is off. AB playing a little better. This level of play likely won’t get it done in SLC.
  3. Ugh. Somebody better tell AB that there’s three young QBs behind him that will likely get playing time if the Ducks lose.
  4. But it’s a prowess school Charles. Prowess schools are just classier than Schools like Oregon. Nothing says cerebral superiority and superior ability like having a head coach with an inability to speak basic syntactically correct English. Prowess; Superior skill or ability. Superior strength, courage, or daring, especially in battle. Excellence; virtue; goodness; integrity.
  5. Im wearing my lightning yellow thong. My Road whites have stains, and they’re not green.
  6. Might have to change your screen name. Spot on. Its just hype and marketing until after the conference championships anyway. Until there’s a 12-16 team playoff it will always remain a subjective beauty contest to a large extent.
  7. Hemorrhoid always hated but thankfully they only flare up and get hot on rare occasions
  8. I love the week to week improvement, the resilience, the depth, and the absolute heart of this team. They are still on an upward trajectory with an unknown ceiling. The ranking of four surprises me because, to date, the Ducks clearly haven’t played their best ball and have not looked like a championship team. I happy that the committee saw the value of a head to head road win. Now the Ducks just have to win out and get good enough to play with the other three.
  9. Oh Jimmy Lake. is that Dr Jimmy? Professor PhD Jimmy? Dean Jimmy? Department head jimmy? Research scientist Jimmy? Nope, it’s just subpar football coach and mediocre recruiter jimmy lake who has zero credit for or connection to any of UW’s academic mojo yet chooses to hang his reputation and sense of rivalry on other than football because he can’t say one single thing about UW football being equal to or better than Oregon’s. Jimmy knows what’s coming Saturday and his tail is tucked.
  10. You know he wants to be on the field one on one coaching guys up, but likely has better vision game feel and ability to see the defense when upstairs. an added bonus is being able to claim technical difficulties when “not hearing” MC calling for the pistol plunge from their half yard line.
  11. Cool look but C’mon, Black and Gold are actually Colorado’s colors. Green and Yellow. Apple green jersey, lighting yellow helmets w/ green wing decals, yellow numbers, accessories. The worst ever was the white and silver Ohio state practice unis worn the Natty in Jerry world.
  12. I think there is a lot of room for growth in many areas but I’m for the most part happy with the results. Accordingly it’s easy to say they are just scratching the surface because in a lot of ways they are just scratching the surface. We saw a taste of what could be in the middle of the UCLA game. doing that consistently is the challenge. I think as the players develop mentally they then play faster. Earlier recognition as the season progresses is helping both sides. I hope some young guys get more touches this week. The offense should try and Get up early and then bring in the backups. 2nd half Tryouts at QB, WR, RB.
  13. Great win, overcoming adversity, injury and mistakes. Bipolar performance again. Gutty defense in the second half. Crow is keto. Mmmmmm
  14. I think the fans ARE spoiled. Not spoiled rotten like they are ungrateful but once there was a time when any bowl would have been welcomed, the Rose Bowl a pinnacle. Expectations have changed permanently based on results obtained through a different previous mindset. Now it’s natty or bust it seems. I am disappointed too. But at 5-1 and controlling ones destiny i can admit I am spoiled by previous success and my expectations have adjusted unnaturally as a result.
  15. I totally get it. I guess I see Mario as an offensive lineman whose first shot at head coaching was rough, then as you said gained valuable experience from Alabama and has proven himself a superior recruiter but is still developing albeit a bit late as an in game coach and offensive mind. When JM went down MC wasn’t the next best play calling option. Perhaps he’s reached his developmental ceiling but I sure hope not.
  16. People have tasted filet and are no longer satisfied with ground chuck. The cupboards were bare, we got tagged by another’s greed, and have a former o lineman assistant head coach who like his young team is also still learning his craft. This program is still two season from being a MC team. Duck fans are spoiled. Not only because we’ve seen what great offense can be, but because of the riches in facilities and yes the repeat winning of the offseason, which, if it continues should start to produce more consistently with more snaps. The team is 5-1, in the drivers seat and getting healthier and more experienced weekly. Great test this weekend.
  17. Those were the two I was thinking. Seven and Dontae. Neither on the field much. I just don’t see real speed at WR, RB, TE. to be fair the TE group hasn’t had a lot of opportunity to stretch the field and show off any speed.
  18. On offense who are the Ducks fastest players? Speed Kills in College Football. LMJ, DAT could away from everyone. Does Oregon possess anyone on offense that similarly can run away from just about everyone?
