I doubt it. However, if he worked for me, he would have. After his “over-his-skis” decisions that changed a Victory over UW into a loss….it was UW who was No. 5 int polls, when it should’ve been us. And, Penix was the consensus Heisman frontrunner, when a victory in that game would have bestowed that status on Nix. We don’t get such opportunities often enough, and Lanning’s recklessness pulled the rug out from under his team. It certainly wouldn’t be inappropriate, in my book, if there had been a little “conference” amongst Lanning and UO Athletic Admin…..maybe even Phil Knight?……apres the UW debacle.

That’s what being a Duck fan is! Congrats, Buddy! “Join the Club”! That’s why it was so incredible when we qualified for “the Natty”……twice!! That’s a “reversal of fortune”! But, even there….Duckdom struck when the Auburn runner who everyone thought was down, rolled off a player’s back and……well, eventually “screwed” us again! We keep hoping, though! All you say, and our history as Duck fans, adds to the backstory as to why it’s just so…….maddening……when our own hotshot coach….causes us….and his hard-playing players…..to grab a defeat from a sure victory. It just doesn’t happen that often, when we, as a top ten team are in position to beat,…..not just any other top ten team, but……UW! Lanning recklessly blew it,….when his job, duty, responsibility…..is to ensure victory! Two years in a row now. So,,,,,,,there’s no way to sugarcoat it: it hurts! It’s a big disappointment. Lanning let us…..and his players…..down. But….yes…..it’s over. What’s done is done. All we can do is hope for the Best going forward. And, of course, we all do. That’s what we Duck fans do! Go Ducks!!!

Wilner nailed it! Very accurate description: “reckless” v. “Aggressive”.

IF. we get a rematch: dbs! Look at the BALL! UW receivers do….and they catch it! Right over your non-looking head! Where YOU could catch it….or, at least deflect it!

Thanks, Ryan! Excellent insights…….I agree with you 100%. Lanning is paid $7 million a year to WIN….and, not to be foolhardy! The time is NOW to “get with it”!

I sure hope Ferguson is okay! He’s an integral part of the team. Didn’t look good, though…..!!!

You are being generous. It’s not that our Coach is young. His decisions that turned a Victory into defeat are due to: ignorance, arrogance, and lack of wisdom. If you have confidence in your offense, do what a wise Coach, like Andy Reid would do, and…….take the points(on 4th and goal), and score more on your ensuing possessions! Coaching 101, Dan! C’mon! Sheesh! You get paid waaaay too much to cost your hard-playing team a Victory like they deserved!

Cornelius hold on 3rd down——an absolute killer!

Sorry…..that was an emotional, but, not wise…..move to go for TD, and not field goal on 4th down prior to half. Too risky. Not worth it.

I think he’s a football player, too!

Fantastic! Great to see! Sorely needed for our inclimate weather, and can only greatly boost our capabilities to compete with the top programs in the country! Very good news!

R.I.P., Russ. Sorry to see you go…….

“What about Oregon’s Secondary?” Ai-yai-yai!!!! !!!

1:10 to go. PLEASE somehow develop a pass defense!

What’s the record for most penalties by a team in a game? Indicates a poorly coached team! Sorry to say it……. Sorry to see it…….

Through 3 quarters….Ducks canNOT defend the pass!

So sad……!

And Payton’s, at the same time!

Poor Herman! Waaaay too young! Condolences….to him…..and his family.

Man! Now…….that’s commitment! Wow! Good Luck on your sale, and……best wishes on your “new and improved” Duckroom in your next house!

According to the "Mad Hoops" book: At practice, the Duck team was jacking up long distance shots, and the Coach(Belko) said he didn't want to see any more long shots.....he wanted to see them work "in the paint". So, Little then responded by jacking up a 30 footer! Coach said, "get out of here with that rodeo stuff!". Thus......"the Cowboy" was born..........

Doug Little has passed! One of the greatest Duck b-ballers of all time! RIP, Doug!

Shades of Kyler Murray!

WYNDHAM!!!!! Congrats!

GREAT chip under pressure on 17! Go, Wyndham!
