Why! why would you ever even come close to dropping the ball, absolutely inexcusable, that was a horrible call, he absolutely dropped it before crossing the line, light his butt up, yell, scream, something! Too many times I don't see the coach light them up, there should be a rule on the team to give the ball to the official every freakin time!

Ahhhhh Burch, a lineman's dream!!!!! Good start, keep it up Ducks

Part of what really makes me furious about this game is thinking back to the Holden personal foul, you're a senior, you know the CB is going to do that, and you take the opportunity to give a selfish push, completely avoidable.

Conerly and Cornelius have lost themselves a lot of money, don't even look UDAF level now after getting 1st round buzz, incredible to see them just plummet. Kind of has the feel of a mid-season firing for Terry, there is no way this O-line should be this bad.

Just because Georgia does fly sweeps to the TE doesn't mean you have to, Sediq is not Bowers, and we don't have the line to do that.

A lot of coaches have a ton to explain, can't stay discipline on play action, can't block, can't run the ball, stupid idiotic selfish penalties, a team that looks like they completely drank the media kool-aid.

Horrible, absolutely horrible. Embarrassing O-line performance, what has happened to them!? Terry should be fired if this continues, completely unprepared for the season.

A lot of these early mock drafts are simply a reflection of who the best player is at that spot, I don't think anyone would think they would spend two straight 1st round draft picks on QBs, unless Nix is truly one of the worst QBs ever.

Law of averages helps us? Maybe? Please football gods!

It's too early to say, it is true that some guys need more time to recover, but a lot of the plays I saw he had no blocking, the one where he stumbled has happened to every RB before, if we see similar production in the next two games, then I think it's pretty justifiable to star to give Harris and Limar more time in the backfield.

Not nearly enough, should be out of the top 10 at least.

Ohhhh, wow, I turned it to the Minnesota-NC game after the Buffs got a first down with about a 1:40 or so left. They reeeealllly squeaked one out it sounds like!

Colorado squeaks out a win against NDSU, Hunter is pretty amazing, it does help when he's able to throw his defender to the floor without a call, commentators openly taking about him manhandling his defender but of course not calling out that it's offensive PI since of course you have to hype up Colorado. They'll lose to Nebraska and Colorado St. I think, O-line isn't improved by much, defense while a little better is still below average.

It's as much the network it's on as the time slot. We had a fair few games in that late afternoon time frame, the problem was that it was usually on Pac12 Net. where nobody was able to watch it. 4:00-5:30 is perfect, most of the east coast is done with the afternoon games, people are watching football after their own team's game is done, all eyes are on you. That is if you are on one of the major networks.

Perfect, back where we belong with that time-slot, been too few of them over the post-Mariota years.

I like them, the only thing that I'm sort of was concerned is the green outline of the numbers, it looks a little like the seahawks green, it might just be the silver inside the numbers, but overall I think they did a good job combining the styles of the past into one jersey, I'll be excited to see the other colors.

While it is better, it's still terrible, if they simply went to a design where the trees were on the near camera side of the court it would be fine, but by making the trees all around it becomes cluttered and distracting, very disappointed by this. Edit: I'll amend my first thoughts after really looking at it...I like the green on the baselines/sidelines, I like the lettering of the "Fighting Ducks" and "Mighty Oregon", I simply don't like the trees that wrap around and then on the far sideline. I just think you had a way to go in the middle and they failed to find a good medium there.

The only way that there is a west coast conference of sorts is if football breaks away from the other sports, I could see a world where Oregon is in the B1G or some other super conference that gets made for football and then gets pulled back into some sort of western conference of sorts for the other sports. I'm not sure what that looks like, but the money is simply too big to ignore in terms of coming back simply because some volleyball or lacrosse players are annoyed about the number of trips they take across the country, I'm sorry but that's the truth. All that matters is football (unfortunately) and football isn't going to get tired about the trips out east. I say unfortunately because the world shouldn't revolve around one sport, but that's the truth.

I don't think anyone is bringing down what Oregon has done in the last 4 years, Waz has been a big upgrade over Horton. It is just apparent where we don't quite match where most of the programs that get to the world series are. We have a decent enough offense I think, we just don't have arms that blow you away. They had a great regional round, it is much improved from last year I think, but it still doesn't have the stuff that some of these other programs have. I think tomorrow we'll hang tough, it will be a close game, hopefully this time we hold our nerve a bit better!

I think it's going to be hard to do moving to the B1G, not many good programs, not many opportunities to say that you will consistently play against the best. I'm sure they will be able to stay a top 20 or so program, but it's going to be hard to get those elite pitchers when you aren't going to be playing against the best week in week out.

Yeah, it's really sad to see the programs in the Pac-12 just descend into irrelevancy. Baseball used to be a number one or number two conference, now it's a afterthought. Horrible management at USC, UCLA, Arizona, and ASU who all should be top 15 programs every year with the amount of talent down there. Their facilities though are. garbage compared to most programs though.

I do not agree with Waz's decision to leave Mercado for that long, the game was pretty out of reach, it didn't make sense to basically use him up for the next two games, I'm sure he could go an inning on Monday if we play, but it seems like it was unnecessary to leave him in for 60+ pitches, could have kept him at 40 and maybe gained an inning for Monday.

Basically the difference between the SEC and everyone else. Aggies in trouble and they're able to bring in a guy throwing 99 with a wipeout slider, we don't have anyone even close to that sort of stuff.

I doubt we will be able to win any shootouts, we'll have to win some pitcher's duels. We're not a bad hitting team, but we aren't exactly the most offensive. Going to need to have well executed small ball and be better in clutch situations compared to A&M.

Yeah, I definitely think we'll be seeing some 9:00 games in the future, but I doubt any of them will be at home. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Michigan or Wiscy games at that time. It's just the nature of the beast being in the B10, in the end I think the biggest change will be a 9:00 or two on the road as opposed to 7:30 games on the road. I anticipate our home games to be about the same in regards to game times, maybe one more later kickoff than normal. I also think these things will begin to even out with more time in the league and if Oregon does as well as we think they will do.
