Hello My OBD Forum Friends! Lets get these predictions started and remember I look for the spread with then the closest score that has the spread correct. The data I need from you is: (entries without all the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count as I am not going to hunt them all down) --the winner --the score, and the tiebreaker information needed from each of you is... --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards. My guess is: Oregon 34-31, 1, 2, 240

This is a good article, but I would add that the Tight Ends of Oregon State are from in-state and are excellent. On offense, the Beavers do not have a weakness like the Ducks. Beaver Offense will Present a Multi-Faceted Attack Against the Ducks by Don Smalley of Ducks Wire

I like their analysis and game predictions the best, and this one gives me some comfort! Oregon State vs. Oregon Football Prediction and Preview by John Coon of Athlon Sports

Humor-writer Kim Hastings made an encore article for us to have some fun pondering our rival, Oregon State. Enjoy! The 12 Days of Beavis by Kim Hastings of FishDuck

He reads the keys so well... Raiders win!

C'mon everybody....FOCUS!

I don't think this was a question of choosing between the two, but among all the other candidates out there...who would you want if Cristobal left to go back to Florida?

Haywarduck...I don't how you find such great ones, because as I know--it is not always easy to find the right one for the topic. That is a keeper! Getting close to dinner time!

My friends...don't forget to pass along the forum today--especially the Cat GIF History of Beaver Football Coaches! Everyone loves to have a laugh...

I think it is brilliant, and the best candidate out there. He has a history with Oregon!

The "Great Pumpkin," Dee Andros (1965-75 below) handled the Ducks well, but had other issues... Oregon State was too big a jump for Craig Fertig. (1976-79 below) Joe Avezzano's (1980-84 below) players didn't have their heart in it. Dave Kragthorpe, (1985-90 below) thought he could stand up to the Ducks... Jerry Pettibone, (1991-96 below) believed he could compete at upper levels... Mike Riley, (1997-98, 2003-2014) often took the bait. (Below) Dennis Erickson, (1999-2002 below) didn't keep an eye on things that came back to bite him. Gary Anderson, (2015-17 below) just could not wear orange and disappeared. Jonathan Smith, (2018-Present, below) is proving to be pretty clever... Let's play smarter! Go Ducks! (Share this with your friends, and on Social Media so Duck fans learn about this extraordinary forum!)

And we are thankful for all the hours you put into analyses for us to learn from and your expertise. It is always fun to learn more football from Coach Boles!

It is going to be so fun to follow his career for YEARS!

C'mon...this is fun, the stuff of LIFE!

Dale is a great writer and really brings some tasty good news and targets for the Oregon staff. We need some good news! Oregon Recruiting Wrap: Moves, Countermoves and Amazing Athletic Feats by Dale Newton of Duck Sports Authority The Ducks made an offer Tuesday to 5-10, 175 athlete/wide receiver Isaiah Bond, who just decommitted from Florida. Bond runs a scorching fast 10.48 100 meters. (Nick Lucero/Rivals.com)

I thought this was one of the best collections of talent Altman's staff had ever recruited...and shooting woes is not something I expected!

I love this, to get the best talent on the field, give him experience and confidence--another Byron Marshall!

I am posting this to 1) Bump this up closer to the top in order to be sure people remember it today and... 2) to let everyone know that a Special Humor article about the Beavers will be up tomorrow! My thanks to Duckpop22 for it, and it is the kind of article that makes you smile and hum along with it! Gotta have some fun...

I can't use the green helmets as an avatar until we win a game in them!

That is a very big deal! Thanks for posting it.

Joe Moorhead is like Helfrich; great offensive mind, but an introvert. He would NOT do well recruiting, IMHO.

What makes this forum unique is the moderation, and it is not hard. If you can read posts and click, (which is what we are all doing anyway) you can help out with moderating.

Boy, I don't know about this one either--your thoughts? ESPN FPI Predictions: Oregon Ducks Favored to Win Pac-12 North, but Projected to Lose Pac-12 Championship by Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire

Thank you, and I am proud of them and they have been viewed over two-million times, but all the ad revenue went the Pac-12, since they own the rights to the telecast footage. I will do an analysis article like this once in a while, but making videos is unbelievably time-consuming, and I just don't have the time these days. (I get a lot of new people that sign up that none of you ever see because they don't believe we have rules, and enforce them and their first post is just horrible. So I have to spend time with emails and phone calls to end up with them leaving anyway. Too much time babysitting adults!)

Fentress is right that many former Oregon teams would boat-race this one. And I've enjoyed many of his takes in the past, but when he tells me as a Duck fan to "Chill-out," and calls me "Spoiled?" That comes off as a condescending jerk. (And yes...the rule No. 26 refers to Oregon players and coaches. Say what you want about other teams, their fans, their coaches and members of the media.)
