If there were any lingering doubts about whether Oregon belongs among college football’s heavyweights, the Ducks have opened the season with the subtlety of a belching orc, mercilessly collecting pelts to improve 2-0 heading into their first conference game. These ain’t your grandpappy’s Men of Oregon — these are Odin’s berserkers reveling in the spoils of their plunder. I’m not ...

Ducks Crash Heavyweight Ranks With Ferocious Start

Thanks Jordan for today's article. I always look forward to you entertaining wordsmithing.

"These ain’t your grandpappy’s Men of Oregon — these are Odin’s berserkers reveling in the spoils of their plunder."

Thanks Jordan for a fun read! As a long time, grey beard Duck fan I am not sure this is a different Team than past aquads. Then I ask myself as a fan why do I feel diffetently about this 2025 team?

Even during the great seasons since and during the Joey Harrington era, i have had concerns, worries and anxiety before, during and after every game. Case in point, the 2024 games with Idaho, BSU and all the remaining games up and thru the Rose Bowl. A constant roller coaster ride season after season.

It took Dante Moore and the offense just a few plays and the defense a few series and the rollet coaster ride stopped. This team is different!

Seeing is believing. Seeing this squad execute and perform has eased my anxiety. Of course it is way to early for Natty talk! The path to the title game will and has some nasty, NFL talented teams face off with our OBD's. Cannot wait for this group to prove that the current hype is real.

We will have a better picture after the white out game. Is this not fun?

GO DUCKS.......

Oregon may indeed be the best team in the country and it may not even be close. They may also have the easiest first four game schedule in the history of football. Those two things combined make accessing this team difficult. They are so deep on offense, they can spread around the receptions and rushes to their entire roster throughout the game. There is no need to lean on any one player at any position so nobody is going to accumulate the stats that will send them to the top of the charts. Even our sensational QB won't be able to accumulate that many passing yards because the games will be so blown out early, passing won't even be needed after halftime.

The defense also looks all world at every position but every offense they play up till PSU is only offensive to the word offense. No offense to the first four teams but no offense is their problem. I'm loving what I'm seeing as they do appear to be the best team in the nation, we just have to wait until game five to see it against a team with a pulse. UCLA, OSU and OSU would all kill to have our fourth string start for them.
