Fun watching Kiffin get slapped around. Chambliss is putting on a clinic. Putting up a Heisman performance early. Dudes got some chops

If only… We win this one by a score 56-0. Add two of the TDs to the Cowboys game and two TDs to the Broncos game the week before!

I think most are taking it with a huge grain of salt. Not sure what you mean by "everyone needs to slow down". Also there are still things you can see growth on regardless of opponent. We are just trying to build up some sunshine after getting beat last week.

I think Marsh was calling for Okie State to be a dark horse in the B12. I hope so...

And that's not nothing. Oregon came out angry and a little humbled. Any life PSU had with 60 left on the clock was euthanized by the time ticked down a minute.

Oklahoma State is smoking Murray State at the half 31-0 . Mestemaker is 17 for 19, 266 yards, 4 TDs, plus 122 yards on the ground for the team. Hope Boise State is dominant as well tonight. Can only help to make Oregon look better.

And what about USC? #2Oregon beat unranked Boise State by a td and got dropped to 6th. SC beat a horrible Rutgers by a td. Does SC drop?

He looked like he might be more athletic, and I think that's something that we could really use with the struggles we have with the O-line. Everyone though needs to slow down since it was against a team that might have it's hands full against the best high school teams in Texas or Florida.

Nice! Happy for you and the young women hoping to build her portfolio!

And hopefully we see a focused Oregon team like what we saw last night. Stats aside for last night... But the Ducks looked focused on the task at hand.

Moore throws a nicer deep ball still. Both looked in command of the huddle which is a good thing. But I have a feeling that Raiola might have more of the "it" factor. He just has better vision from the short sample size we got.

They have a new head Coach and I have a colleague who knows one of their coaches and attended a PSU practice. They are not as bad as their record indicates. I didn't expect them to be competitive for long.... But they didn't even look like they belonged on the same field.

Thanks for the updates, LH. Here's the 24-team PO question. No. 1 Ohio State went to Austin, Texas, lost to No. 4 Texas by one point, and dropped 5 spots in the AP Poll. No. 9 Texas A&M lost at home to an unranked Kentucky team. Where will A&M rank in the Coaches and AP Polls? Will A&M drop to No. 14 or lower?

Coach Day is a scumbag.

The Trojans looked very beatable today. Hopefully that team shows up next Saturday.

Raiola is also much more mobile than Dante Moore, which would be a big help with this year's offensive line. By no means am I hoping for it, but It would be very interesting to see what Coach Lanning would do, if the Ducks were down big at halftime against USC.

He predicted what the score should have been. Hey Dan, kneel down next time (unless it is sc, Ohio St. or ewe dub

Bama down 8 with 2 min to play in the half to Seminole. Would love to see Bama go down today

42-35, USC with four and a half minutes left.....

My Duck-Buddies....the forum is a big money-loser now, and I have to watch expenses very closely, since most of it comes out of my pocket these days. I am working to get the "Donate" button fixed, but there are other issues associated with it that I have to solve first. So I cannot afford photographers, or I get a picture like the background one you see now....but I am paying almost nothing for it. Well, I wanted pictures from the USC game this next weekend if we win, and I asked a superb photographer I know if he knew of anyone who would shoot it in LA this next weekend for free? He found a young woman who is building her photo library, and is excited to shoot for us. So I applied, but since we are now NOT an article site, but a forum--I doubted we would be approved. But I received the email today that we were approved! Now the parking there is TERRIBLE, but she got a media parking pass! Fantastic news, and I hope to have pictures to share with next Sunday and beyond. So COOL! I have been lucky to have some great photographers shoot in the Coliseum over the years, and we have collected great photos. But that is when we created enough revenue from advertising to pay the bills of both sites, but there was one year where I was running short, and hired a young woman to shoot the USC game for free like this time. She agreed to shoot the game for free for the experience, as she primarily shot Ballet and Operas, but wanted to dip into sports, so this was 'taking a chance' for both of us. Turns out she shot some good pictures for us, and created a FishDuck story that will never be forgotten. She was standing on the sidelines waiting for a good play as an older refined gentleman pulled up next to her. She figured he knew football better than she, and asked a question about what was going on in order to plan her next shooting location. He answered politely, and they began to have quite an interesting conversation, as she wanted to know more about the game, the Oregon football team etc. and this distinguished-looking older gentleman was very kind in supplying her the answers. He asked her who she was shooting for, and she told him "FishDuck.com," the unique circumstances behind this shooting, and he responded that he knew the site well, and was pleased she was shooting for us. They went on to have quite a long conversation, and she reported later that he appeared to be quite satisfied with this extended conversation. She even asked him to watch her camera on a tripod as she had to run down the sideline to check something....so he did. They introduced themselves to each other early in this interaction, and proceeded as nice people do. When she got back home, she communicated with other photographers, and then later it was confirmed by media people nearby who saw the conversations taking place. If you had not guessed by now... She was talking to Phil Knight, and did not know who he was. He clearly detected immediately that she knew nothing of him or his impact upon Oregon, and thus he could now have a "regular" conversation with someone who was not obsequious, or catering to him. He enjoyed this exchange, and I'm sure her cultural background made the brief connection that much more interesting for Phil. She had no idea!

Stein get the W over aTm. #9 goes down.

PSU was 0-9 on 3rd. I know its PSU but that is still pretty hard to do as a defense through 60 min. Oregon did it in part with walk-ons for a q. That says a lot about how weak PSU is, but still

Stien goes into College Station and has A&M on the ropes mid 4th up 17. We'll done Coach

It isn't over yet, but lowly Rutgers is running and passing on SC and making it look easy. Were it not for an unfortunate turnover at the end of a long drive the Scarlet Knights would be tied with Riley's troops. Signs that bode well for the Ducks in their upcoming contest.

Great job and good faith in the team.
