Yup! Picked Bucky up in my fantasy league late, as my FOURTH running back. Last 6-7 weeks only being outperformed by my first RB pick, Saquan Barkley. That young man is going to help me win my league! Love it when I have "inside info" on future NFL studs just because I follow OBD! Hey, hey, hey. 😁

I am sure that DL & Co. are using 0-3, 12-0, "our House", as Huge motivational factors. (Although I do Love the idea of Muhammad wearing his championship gear from last year.). But, most of all I believe they want to see mistake free execution, efficiency, and a command of all facets of the game to finish out a clean run through the regular season. Huskies will come in here, motivated, to ruin our perfect season and maybe get a lil into DL's head as the team he simply cannot beat. If Oregon doesn't beat "Oregon" this game should not be in doubt going into halftime. Would absolutely Love to see D Moore for the entire 4th quarter. (But need to score more than a field goal in the third!). A total beat down would be nice but I think getting as close to a "complete" game would actually be preferred. Leave No Doubt and a Warning to our Post-season opponents. 🦆🏈🪨's

Have to admit that three years ago I was "meh" about Sir Bo Nix coming to Oregon. After getting to know the player and the Man from having him lead OBD to great success on the gridiron; I am happy to admit that he is one of our all time "greats" as a "Man of Oregon". He has Earned and Deserves the current success he is having with the Broncos and to coin a phrase: "It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy"! Here's to a long and storied career as an elite NFL QB! 🥃

Ahhh but They Have been in a position a few times to have "smelled" defeat and rightfully turned it away. It's not like OBD has not been challenged this year. Just haven't let the "L" have it's way. This will serve them well over the next 5-6 games. Go Ducks!

AND ESPECIALLY when All the other conferences are playing conference foes...SEC is playing "Sisters of the merciful Beat Down". So half of the other conferences pickup another loss, thus dropping them on the rankings; most SEC teams pickup an "automatic" win, move up to fill spots by dropping teams from conference losses, then loudly, blatantly point out how "many more" ranked teams they have...thus gotta be the toughest conference with the (built in) hoghest SOS. I cannot believe that this still works for the SEC, more than a decade after the end of the BCS!! Oh well. It was it is, I quess. 🙄

And if the playoff committee actually applied your insight and logic, then how could there be controversy generated on how the top twelve are being slotted. Again it's Not about logic, insight, or records, it's all about a "football" beauty contest (eyetest) and what will be Best for generating the max amount of "engagement" between fans and the sport. If it was a "level playing field" then either last years (conference formally known as "the PAC) was the toughest conference in the country that simply "cannibalized" themselves; OR the SEC this year is just down and full of "average (compared to the norm) teams. You can't change the "narrative" to whatever your desired perceptions whenever it best suits you. Drives me Batty the "double standards" applied simply based on the built up narrative on what football conference is what in the world of NFL-Lite. Paaaaul "Fawn"baum is the mouthpiece that pushed this hard until it became "accepted" fact. Also part of the reason that you might see 4 SEC teams in 4 different branches of the bracket. Avoid those inter conference matchups for at least the first two rounds too better the chance of having 3-4 SEC teams in the semis. ThUs able to continue the narrative entrenched surrounding the SEC. I hope to hell it backfires and the SEC sits outside the final four, looking in! As long as "The Duck" is the last one standing while hoisting up that NFL-Lite, championship trophy, I can live with(above) the disparity. Go Ducks!

Twasnt Purty...but the Beavs Always give our teams "fits" in Corvallis. And we always seems to squeak out a nailbiter in the end. Was nice to see Bittle settling into his "big man" role and Shelstad finally started making his shots. The tourney in Vegas over Thanksgiving should give us a whole lot better "feel" for the ceilings and floors for this team early in the season. Go 🦆🏀!

Basketball is a game that allows a greater chance for an "inferior" team to beat a "superior" team in any given game. (Take PSU/OR cpl weeks ago). So a continuation of the oldest, longest, most games played rivalry in college basketball, should continue. We won't have to worry so much about the "civil war" basketball competitiveness versus how the disparity in football competitiveness will become between these two programs. Maybe get to keep a "sliver" of "tradition" in the 21st century college sporting world? Go Quackers!

Yeah, well tell that to my therapists. 😵‍💫

Isn't Lupoi screaming, ball, ball, after the ball on the sidelines in the latest Ducks v Them Recap, just before that play? If so, then yes just the way Lupoi "drew it up". 🤔

Indiana, tOSU, longshot Penn St.....whomever. Ducks will be there waiting to continue "adjusting" the B1G conference to Oregon. Next. 😐

"Young Concrete". 👍 Gotta Love It! One "concrete wall" you Ain't going to run through for "the Coach". You can try!....but *see above! You have been warned. 😉

WAIT! WHAT! Didn't they "clinch" that spot few months ago at the B1G media days???? At least that was the impression DL gave to us. Go Ducks!

Metrics, tiebreakers, "perceived" eye tests or strength of schedule ALL take a secondary consideration when it comes to generating the max "eyeballs" and "revenue generation" to the TV execs. You could have all the credentials, position, and experience in the world but 12 teams ARE going to be part of a playoff and in the hearts and minds of the power brokers in this new NFL-lite, what could it hurt to "nudge" the way the selections are seeded to maximize the revenue that this event generates. Yes. Four B1Gs in the top 5, but that Will change as the rest of the conference schedules play out. Next week, primarily because of the SEC, beat down a G5 "bye" weeks, we will see movement Up of all the SEC teams with a cooresponding drop for at least 1, if not 2 B1G teams. This will be used, as it always is during the final two weeks of each football season, to "pimp" the SEC once again as such an "overwhelming" tough conference that, of course, they "deserve" one more team in the playoffs than any other conference. I hope I am wrong and that there is no "influence" by the TV/Streaming powers that be on the directions the selection committee takes in selecting and seeding. But then I would be being Naive. Not that it matters to OBD for they will win, anytime, anyplace, just give em the chance! Go Ducks!

May be just enough of a loss to allow an Indiana team to better compete with tOSU late in the fourth quarter. Should be "a game"! Nice to be able to sit back this week and let the chaos reign around us. Go Ducks!

Psychopathic/Crazy like a fox. The dude Is "The Dude!" So lucky he enjoys Eugenian green grass. Let's keep that grass well watered! Go Ducks!

Hell, honestly I think he "portals" in to those spots against the zone. He Always seems to find that one seam! Yes we need him 100% going into the postseason. Go Ducks!

Hear That?! Sounded like a collective groan from all the corners, safeties, and linebackers who now have Mr Tez Johnson back on their plate. Sucks to be you. 😁

I think it was made clear when a month or so ago the playoff committee said they would NOT avoid conference rematches in the playoffs. Here's what I think the playoff committee has in store for the Ducks and the field. Primary focus. One SEC team in Each bracket. Two: Load up one half (side) of the bracket with the B1G teams. Three: If the wins and losses fall "correctly" the committee would Love to see Oregon have to play...Boise St / Alabama, Miami, then Georgia in the championship. The narratives and storylines for the pundits to talk about for that playoff month would be music to their ears if this were come to pass. Which if the Ducks "won-out" against that "wind" would have to be considered the best college football champion of all times. Of course if they Lost any of those along the way it would be "fodder" for the talking heads. In two years the conference championship games WILL be the first round of (seeding) the playoffs or will be eliminated all together. Either way dem Ducks are going roll!!! Go Ducks!

FEBU you all . FEBU.

Yeah, if I am remembering correctly didn't DL, at the B1G media days, have something to say about The B1G having to adjust to Oregon instead of the other way around? Nice Try B1G. Maybe next year you can schedule OBD to a 13 game schedule to everyone else's 12. 9 game straight, 6 on the road (three of those at night @tOSU, Mich., Penn St), conference schedule. Oh and DL banned from the sidelines for three of the other games for "innovation and loophole" personal foul penalty. Then maybe, just maybe, the B1G and OBD will actually Be on a level playing field. 😉 GO QUACKERS!

This game had all the vibes of an OR/STAN game back when Stanford was relevant. Oregon football has always had a letdown game or two each season. Stanford, Washington St., California, AZ schools in the desert, have all given highly ranked, championship, caliber OBD teams fits in the past. This last game was no different than any of those others, except it was now a B1G conference foe. I would argue that this was probably one of the better games of the year for OBD. Hostile environment, at night, #1 team "target on you back", eighth conference game in a row with no bye, playing a team that is coming off of a bye AND could have had two more wins than they actually did coming into the game. To execute a game plan, substandard to OBD "standards", and not let a game, which in the past OBD may have actually lost, not get away from them, and to do so in seemingly confident fashion (OBD did seem frustrated but never panicked), makes this a game that will serve them well in the playoffs. It is important for a team to learn how to win ugly just As much as winning through a "complete" game. Championship teams do both! 🦆🏈🪨's

No. No. No. You don't understand. For a USuC fan that actually reflects the fanbases preferred USuC attitude thus, being even more complimentary of DL. 😎

At the beginning of the year I was seeing this as an end of 8game conf stretch letdown game in nasty conditions losing like 28-27. After last week's game I don't see that happening like I expected. That being said: Ducks Win! 39-13 1 TO 2 SKS 272 P.Y.

By design I am sure. The "owners" of those multi-millions of dollars want to make sure the "playoffs" maximize, those multi-millions of dollars. By making sure the "playoffs" closely resemble the business model/predictor that "promises" the maximum return on those multi-millions of dollars. In order to pay-out the multi-millions of dollars to television contracts promised to all those football conferences for their football products "for sale" for multi-millions of dollars. In order to guarantee to add multi-millions of dollars, to their already rather large amounts of multi-millions of dollars. You know. Just like the Mom & Pop store down the road! 😁
