GameDay Thread: Oregon vs. Oregon State...Let's Discuss!
A lot of great catches on that drive by the receiver/TE units.

GameDay Thread: Oregon vs. Oregon State...Let's Discuss!
Line play is pants on both sides, we just don't have lines that are top 5 quality. Had a lot of misses in recruiting on the O-line, and it shows with how they have had to import talent from other teams.

Dark Knight vs Whiteout: Oregon vs Penn State
Have to be honest I don't hate Notre Dame like I used to, I really like Freeman as a coach, it helps a lot when they don't have a jerk for a coach.

Foster Out at UCLA; Pry at Va Tech
Out of that list I would say Lynn, Aranda, Rees, and Lupoi would be the best candidates. Lupoi would be interesting, he's been a name for a long time without getting a chance as a head coach, so I have no idea how he would operate as a CEO.

Other Games--GameDay Thread: Week 3!
As an aside, does anybody else absolutely love watching Georgia Tech and its QB Haynes King? I love watching this team play, probably the team I'm most rooting for outside of Oregon right now. Just love the toughness they exude.

Post Northwestern Game…Reactions?
Overall I would give us a C, we only out gained Northwestern by about 60 yards, which is not a top 5 performance. Line play was very average. You can tell Lanning is PISSED at the performance, we didn't play even close to our potential. We have to bow up on the line, we will get demolished against PSU if we play like that in the trenches, it was kind of pathetic at times how much they getting pushed around. We were opportunistic, caused some turnovers which was good to see, but it should be a major wake up call that B1G football is going to be a lot tougher than beating up on a BAD Okie St. team. Secondary can improve, LBs were okay, just need more consistency. RBs were decent, WR the same, not a lot to digest there I think. I thought Dante was very good until that last throw, I really don't understand pulling him after that play, I don't get it, I especially don't get putting a 4th string QB in for a series, Moga should be getting those reps.

Oregon-Northwestern Game Day Thread
I don't think it was an awful decision, a perfect throw probably gets you a touchdown, but it wasn't really needed considering the circumstances. I would be curious to hear from Dante to see if he LB dropping back that far into coverage. I suspect he saw all the defenders but he just thought he could drop into Dak's hands.

Oregon-Northwestern Game Day Thread
Been a weird game on defense, we've caused a few turnovers, we've had some sacks, but we also have been pushed around, and have gotten lucky by Northwestern messing up all on their own on more than a couple occasions. Lot's for the coaches to review, I also hope the players realize that they need to play better in order to beat the top teams. There's nothing that is super concerning, but it's a nice wake up call that we will need to play better in order to truly dominate. It really has been a great game in terms of results since it gives us just enough to go back and clean up without diminishing our standing in the eyes of the nation.

Oregon-Northwestern Game Day Thread
Sediq He's much more Brock Bowers than he is Gronk. It's an extremely lazy comparison, and most likely because Gronk is a commentator on FOX now.

Oregon-Northwestern Game Day Thread
Eh, I wasn't upset, I think it's extremely tough for a west coast team to play at 9:00, not surprised to see us start a little slow for our standards, even then it wasn't like Northwestern had an explosive play. Really nice drive after the int.

Nice job, completely changes the feel of that drive for Northwestern.

D-line needs to wake up and realize they can't just coast today, confident they will!

Why is Big Noon Kickoff going to Northwestern?
If you look at the Big Ten slate this week it's a nothing burger. Bama-Wiscy is on ABC since the game is at Bama. The only other game that you might choose is Purdue-USC and at least Northwestern had a pulse last year. There just aren't any good game this week other than if you think Wisconsin has a chance on the road, but they can't even pick that game, so the battle on the shores of Lake Michigan it is!

Post-Game: So...We OK at QB?
Yeah, we're fine at that position, really overall that game was about as good as it could have possibly got, tons of players getting time, executed in all phases of the game.

Colorado Gets Outplayed and Loses Opener at Home
Georgia Tech, it's coach, and the QB King are one of my favorite teams to watch, such a tough QB and seems like a such of a workmanlike program.

New College Football Playoff Committee Metric Could Endanger Ducks Playoff Hopes
We take care of business and we'll be fine. If we end up with two losses, with our schedule I can totally understand the argument we have no business in the playoff. We really won't have any excuses. Just let the season play out.

Ohio State-Texas GameDay Thread
Honestly...just a boring game in general, I'm not really surprised, both defenses are obviously very good, but the offensives just seem uninspired and flat. Probably what should be expected considering the QB situation for both teams.

Will Nebraska Ever Be Back?
No, can't say I have, maybe I shouldn't knock it until I've tried it. In terms of culture I guess they have good steaks at least.

B1G Sigh of Relief + Oh Boy Boise!
Not surprised to see BSU lose, but to get stomped by South Florida, that is a surprise. Looked like a team that was just not prepared to start the season.

Will Nebraska Ever Be Back?
It's a really tough place to recruit to in today's world. Oregon at least has natural beauty in addition to the world class facilities and the connection to Nike. Weather sucks, nightlife sucks, completely different culture compared to where most of the 4 and 5 star recruits are from, I think Rhule is at least a decent coach, but ultimately it's more about the Jimmies and the Joes than it is about coaching. I think the best that Nebraska can get to in today's world is an Ole Miss or Indiana type program. Being around the outskirts of the playoff, making it in every 4-5 years. I do not think they are ever getting back to a consistent top-10 type program.

Bad News Out of Stillwater Muddies Outlook for Oregon Game 2
Kind of amazing to see how that program has fallen on hard times, you would have thought with Boone Pickens they would have been pretty well set up for the new world of NIL. Seems like the game might be passing Gundy by.

The SEC Goes to 9 Conference Games in 2026
It's going to be nice to see a bit of equity here. The number of times a SEC team has been a 10 win team when they really would have most likely been a 9 win team is ridiculous, Ole Miss I'm looking at you!

New Freedoms Allowed for GameDay Threads: "Go Ahead and Let it Go...."
I do think this is a good idea, I think for myself, I sometimes do need to vent a little, I would like to think I've always reserved my frustrations for the coaches and not the players. The only time I would say a little criticism is appropriate of players is when they do something like Holden did last year, something that is selfish. Even then, you have to remember that they probably regret their actions and would take them back if they could, usually. I would say there are times I do erase something before I hit submit since I can usually catch myself before I say something that probably is not needed or constructive. With all that said, I can't wait to Jerk about the defense after they give up 3 straight first downs! 😂 Before anybody says anything, that is a joke.

FOX Corp Releases Scathing Statement Against Google Amid Carriage Dispute with YouTube TV
Gosh dang it!!! NOW you tell us!!!! My family got You Tube TV to avoid this BS. Now they are all of a sudden putting this out there, I don't care about your 10 dollar credit, I care about watching the games. Usually you're given a month or more warning about things like this, but to spring it a week before the season starts is atrocious. It doesn't give any time to for me to put pressure on Google or Fox to make my displeasure known or to really make a change.
