Personally, I have no real issues with Day, 'cept for the mild aire of entitlement (probably a prerequisite for the position anyway) that surrounds him on the sidelines and in interviews. He is a good X's and O's coach (although just a "step" behind ours) and with tOSU NIL program and school history, is able to recruit quite well. I know the standard at tOSU is Extremely High, but with the 12 to 16 team playoff formats in place, the focus should be simply getting there with as complete a roster as possible. I hope tOSU will have the patients to let Day grow, and hopefully adapt, to keep tOSU competitive even if it's not undefeated or one loss seasons each and every year. Which might be hard for tOSU fans to digest. (How hard would it be for OBD fans if Lanning and company were to lose in the playoffs to...Alabama?!) I think a long-term, competitive, dynamic, salty, rivalry between tOSU and Might Oregon, thus Day vs Lanning, would not only bolster the strength and reputation of the B1G but also help elevate the new Nfl-lite as a whole. Of course only time (and money) will tell; but fans everywhere are needing to "temper" their season long expectations until it is known how all the "dynamics" of this new "league", and how all the playoffs seedings and guaranteed conference participants in said playoffs, actually play out. Until then let's ALL hope for several games each season that gives us what we got in the most recent rendition of Mighty Oregon vs tOSU. GO. DUCKS!! 😎

Yes, I believe a lot of this has been "glossed over" by all the focus being on the "twelve man play". Which is a shame cause we actually have a very good, entertaining football team that actually wins games "before" the final ten seconds (but will do it then also, when we have to). Guess we will just have to put the 42-24 beat down on tOSU in the B1G championship game to prove the point. Oh well, just add it to our TODO list. Go Ducks!

Gotta Absolutely LOVE IT!!! Lanning said himself that this particular scenario in college football is an extremely rare situation. The fact that DL and company not only "knew" of this, but in fact had prepared for this contingency IS a "stroke of genius". Remember this. If Ryan Day or tOSU QB had recognized the twelfth man they could have used that to Their advantage. But, in the heat and pressure of the moment, they did not. But all that aside. The media exposure and coverage of this single play, college rules committee "discussions" and potential mid-season rules changes, problems of having two similar, but with significant differences, rules between the NFL and NFL-lite, and the message to recruits/transfers that the staff you're joining under, leaves NO stone unturned in being knowledgeable and competitive at ALL facets of the game; is giving more to Oregon Football than just simply scoring the win against tOSU. None of this would be happening today without that single, unconventional call, that actually succeeded as intended. (Wonder what the narrative would be if it had played out....differently?) Point being. Dan Lanning Is not only "entrenching" himself in the hearts and minds of Duck fans. He is becoming an "icon" of the new NFL-lite landscape and masterfully positioning the Oregon Football program for some longterm, consistent, competitive success. I no longer have ANY Doubts that this Coach and his staff WILL be the ones who bring Oregon Football it's very first, and probably more, National Championship. But for now. One game at a time. Implode the Boilermakers! Go Ducks!

Is this what they meant by living long enough to watch your "heroes" become "villains"?! 🤔 Guess we'll have to "deal" with it...but so will they! That Team Out West Ducks VS Them Points VS Clicks Grass Is Pretty Damn Green 🦆🏈🪨's

Tua Tagovaliola has entered the chat. 😵‍💫

Something I think the young, freshman, phenom receiver Knew and tried to exploit but was just a little too....obvious...in his pushoff. Two months from now, three months from now, or again when we see him next year, he will NOT be as obvious, which in turn will make him that much more dangerous. If it had been Oregon driving for field goal range and Tez did the same move, I would be pissed, but NOT because of the call but because of the dumb-assed, obvious, pushoff from our wide receiver in a Critical moment of the game. Still a llooonngg season to go and now with even a Bigger Target on OBD's backs. Round One to Oregon. The vitrol building, from whatever sources that feed it, has the makings of creating a fierce, bitter, competitive rivalry between Mighty Oregon and tOSU. Two more rounds to go in twenty-twenty four?! YES PLEASE! Go Oregon Ducks! Own the B1G!

At this point I believe that it is just the Legend of Cam Rising and he has Not actually proven to be real. Kinda like Icabob Crane and The Headless Horseman. Cam Rising legendary existence will fade into the "history of" the Utah football program. Such is life? Or proof of life? 😆

DG is definitely a "baller", which becomes all the more evident the bigger the game. Does not seem that he believes there is NO window he can hit a receiver through and not afraid to push that. (ie: three redzone INT the previous two games.) Knows how to use his "pocket" efficiently and strategically to make the most out of what the defense is showing/giving him on any particular play. When he is in run mode has great field vision and the ability to make players miss in the open field. A Refusal, by nature, to allow his team to lose. Reminds me a whole lot of another Oregon QB from back in the day, Jeremiah Massolli. Problem DG has, and will be the focus for defensive coordinators the rest of the season, is that he is only 5'10" in a league with some Very Large men on the defensive lines. A pass being batted down, or "missing" a streaking wide open receiver on a critical, gotta have it, fourth down conversion in a must have the win game, would be devastating. There is Nothing DG can control about that but I trust our coaches have noticed this... potential weakness...in our offensive attack and will make the appropriate gameplans to minimize the vulnerability. I am definitely onboard riding DG to our first B1G championship....and maybe a whole lot more. 🦆🏈🪨's

Oregon Ducks football sees new era ushered in by Dan Lanning DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Ducks had every reason to lose to Ohio State, but they didn’t. A new era of Oregon football might be here. I, for one who's been a Fan of and followed Oregon Football since 1993, this article hits home! GO Ducks!

LOL....Bet there are a crap-ton of tOSU fans waking up this morning looking for Any reason that there is a 1 in the loss column, and are in Second place in the B1G. If we had lost WE could have said the same thing about Mighty Oregon this morning, but we didn't. If this sets up a burgeoning "hate" rivalry with one of the most respected, successful, determined BlueBlood programs in all of college football. Then, So Be It. 😎 🦆GO Oregon Ducks!!🦆

Absolutely Amazing Game. Both QB's were "on"! tOSU running backs owned the first half. Oregon's owned the second half. Time management was spot-on and the "correct" decisions based upon the current situation where made, and "mostly" executed. Both teams have some Very, very Good, NFL caliber, receivers. The Oregon Fans made up for a very good travel showing by tOSU fans. So much so, that I believe at least Six of the eight penalties against tOSU can be laid directly at the Oregon Fans making it Impossible for them to think...let alone hear, at the line of scrimmage. Neither team believed themselves the inferior. For me. The Best and most Entertaining game in the Dan Lanning Era! I WILL Definitely be watching the replay and cannot wait till these two teams meet up in a rematch in a couple months! Oregon Ducks Football Absolutely Rocks!!

GGGGGGOOOOOOOO DDDDDDUUUUUUUCCCCKKKS! BIG, BIG WIN!!!!

Ok....NOW the D has our victory in their hands. Probably having a defensive minded head coach is a good thing at this moment!

THE Drive of the season is upon us. Burn six minutes off the clock and finish with a TD or FG. and we win!

Wow! What a first half! "Ref'in" could be....better, but mistakes are not fazing em at all. Eliminate those in the second half and Ducks will win this game! 🦆🏈🪨's

Wellll...make Another pot! Fellow Duck friend. I want some of that too. 😁

Ahhh Gotta Love It! Perceptions. As with most anything this day and age are mostly controlled by the "narrative". Just take the last two months surrounding Oregon Football. Training camp Oregon was "perceived" as a plug and play team with recruits and transfers. Both fans and talking heads believed it would just be a continuation, at ALL levels, from where we left off last year. Several "experts" had us in the National Championship game (meeting tOSU for a third time) BEFORE a single game of the 2024 season had even been played. First few weeks of the season Oregon football's perverbial sky was falling! Sputtering run game, more sacks on our QB than ALL of last year, opponent "chunk" run plays through screens and second level escapes. Team was supposedly in disarray and dropped in the polls while still getting the wins. Few weeks later Oregon is now back to #3 in the polls with the opportunity AND ability to continue on the "upward" swing in the current narrative, thus perception, of who and what "That Team Out West" is (really?) all about. So if Oregon plays to their abilities. Limits and minimizes mistakes. EXECUTES on the four or five critical plays that will most likely determine the outcome of this particular game. Then yes! The perception, and perhaps a growing mystic, about "That Team Out West" that plays in a "quaint" 60,000 capacity stadium, with all them "pretty" uniforms will Finally move that perception to Respect! Something that this program has been building towards for a quarter of a century! NFL-Lite...meet your new "Duck Daddy's"! 🦆🏈🪨's

Oregon Wins! 28-27 Turnover the Buckeyes 2 times Sack the tOSU QB 3 times Oregon Passing Yards 223 GO DUCKS!

Autzen Stadium. The ROAR behind the onfield football, Fine-Tuned Machine! Let's GO QUACKERS!!! 🤪

tOSU...I AM your Father!

Until robotic "AI" is roaming the fields making calls to the letter of the law of the game we will ALWAYS have human judgement, bias, and error in calling a game properly. I always hope for an evenhanded, professional, and unfiltered call from our human referees and game officials; but I have(had) lived under the scourge of, "The conference formally known as the PAC" Officiating for a quarter of a century sooooo.... desensitized to crap officiating by now! Let's hope the balance of Saturdays game doesn't get tipped, one way or another, by the assigned officiating crew. GO Quackers!

The Oregon Ducks Football team HAS NOT been very kind to "Vegas", regarding betting props. (I'm sure Charles, amongst others, can attest to that) Believe me when I tell you that the odds Makers are a bit "shy" about properly setting Oregon. My experience is that "Vegas" Always makes up for earlier "bloodbaths" regarding gambling....so I think in reality it's a tossup and are hoping for enough of a betting shift to make up for any earlier....misses regarding gambling. I expect the Ducks to "cover"! But, please don't listen to any of my "off the cuff" theories. Especially regarding any of your hard earned money! If I was correct most of the time then I would be "raking it in" AND definitely NOT sharing the secrets to my gambling successes...LOL! GO Ducks....ignore what Vegas has to say

Even though this game has been "circled" on the calendar for many NFL-lite pundits, the teams seem to be focused on the processes that have gotten them to this week, in a very long season. I hope and believe that both organization have focused on the "tasks at hand" and have been working to improve their "product" leading up to this game. I am expecting a very close and competitive game with the final scores being in the twenties. (Will put forward my official guesstimate once Charles opens up the prediction thread.) Point is that with a 12 team playoff a single loss to a TOP 5 team is not going to hurt either teams chances for making the playoffs with a decent enough seed. That being said, the loser WILL have only a one game "buffer" and a second loss before a possible B1G championship game could very easily require an invite AND a win to said championship game to ensure a slot in the playoffs Having three losses at the end of the season WILL preclude Some 3-loss team from the playoffs, depending upon how the rest of the conference's seasons go. Rather Not have that "possibility" hanging over our heads come the first of December. Just play to our capabilities and talent, then there should be NO problems. Easy-Peasy, right? GO DUCKS! Beat down the Buckeyes!

LOL! You know your a "National Brand" when a major corporation uses part of their "immense" advertising budget using YOUR brand to sell THEIR brand. What a time to be a "Duck"! 🦆🏈🪨's !

P. "Fawn"baum Is part of the reason that there was such a "mystic" surrounding Alabama in the first place. He has been, and shall always be, the "homer" mouthpiece and "salesman" for the SEC And Alabama. (since the "early" days of the BCS). Not saying that what Was accomplished in Tuscaloosa should be...discounted, but the "hype", certaintly help "polish" the image to "mystic" levels. Which in turn helped ensure the steady flow of top recruits and assistants to Tuscaloosa each year. Transfer portal, NIL, burgeoning NFL-Lite is changing all of that. And then there is the 1 in a hundred scenario. Any two teams could meet 100 times and regardless of talent level, one of the two will win at LEAST one of those games. If for nothing but simple blind luck! This years Alabama team simply may have ran into that statistical anomoly. Kinda like OBD Almost did against Idaho. Guess it's time to assign a "new" NFL-lite team as the one carrying all the "mystic" of the sport into the future. Any takers?! (Hint: Jerry Allen can become Our P. Fawn baum! 😆) GO Ducks!
