Look I know it sucks, but frankly when you are writing the most negative stuff in Duck-dom....nobody likes to read it. Negative discussion about coaching and player performance is what we do, but we do not get personal toward our team. Think about the labels you are attaching.... This IS a different site because of all of you, and we need to maintain our decorum while asserting our displeasure. Sometimes you get stuck and can't get going...

Great post, great video--SO entertaining for an Oregon fan! Jen says, "I got this all figured out!"

You know...I've always thought this was 10 point-kinda-game for Oregon, and when I saw the three point edge to Utah? Kinda blew me away.

With a 7:30 start--I agree. But I've changed my mind on the 4:30 start and here is why; throughout the day--CFB fans in the east are watching their favorite team and those of their conference. Then--there is nothing in the east on TV at 7:30 EST or 4:30 PST, thus we CAN be seen by millions in the 4:30 slot. And Triphibius? You have the single greatest posting name anywhere--so cool.

In the OregonLive article where the journalist for Utah is interviewed...he pointed out how the original corner starter was lost early in the season for the year. His replacement for seven games is now out as well, and this leaves a second year freshman, the original 3rd-teamer starting at corner. When we played against a freshman corner at Ohio State--we did not do much with it. Against UCLA--we made massive yardage and I would suggest that it was the difference in the game. Utah will pack-the-box. This leaves the defensive backs for the Utes one-one-one with our receivers, and thus this is the opportunity for Brown and the receivers to show everyone what they can do. You do not get man coverage very often and thus it is put-up or shut-up time. Force Utah to switch to zone to help the freshman corner and/or move some safeties back and THEN we run the ball for big yardage. Plausible? I hope we see a ton of Redd...

Gosh that would be sweet. The 'Dissed Surprises Everyone!

Now that....is great writing! Thank you for the time and research to share with us.

Great article with a surprising conclusion!

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 31-21, 2, 3, 220 Note to all: GameDay threads seem to remove the filters we have within us during the week. Writing negative about the Ducks on GameDay is fine, (as we write about negative every day here) but let's not be venting on fellow Duck fans. There is a difference and I think most of you know when it is.

Sometimes you just want a little payback to the talking heads.....

Nope. The only predictions that count are the ones in the actual prediction contest thread. I am not chasing down every prediction in umpteen threads over the last couple of days....

Well, we were able to screen them to death in Pasadena because the Bruins were blitzing all the time. I do not know that Utah will do that, thus a true downfield passing attack will be needed to offset all the defenders in the box...IMHO.

Man it fries me listening to the pundits talk about Our Beloved Ducks. I am driving back to the office and have "Tiki and Tierney" on the radio and they are laughing, laughing at the line of Oregon/Utah, and saying that it confirms what many think of the Ducks..."they are 'suspect." "How is it that the No. 3 team in the nation is a 'dog at a decent, but not great team like Utah?" Their guffaws snorted into more laughter... If it was just the words, the content, you can shrug it off as a different opinion, but the 'dis in their voice, their laughter and another derisive comment that I cannot remember just torqued me off. Gosh I wish the Ducks could lay the wood on them--by a massive margin. A point spread that makes everyone look again at the score, and go "huh!" Kinda like what BYU did to Dana a few days ago... So....this didn't actually happen?

Feels like we get PLAYED?

Now, this guy is biased, but so are we. What to make of his analysis? Here is Why Utes Will Sink the No. 3 Ranked Ducks by Dick Harmon of Deseret News

The video is short, and one thing I like about Yogi Roth, is how he knows the Oregon players and the team really well. And he really has a passion for the conference that comes out in his discussion of all the teams. And I like his "Number ONE Thing."

Interesting stuff in here, and the part of the revenue? Whew! And the date it would begin? Dan Patrick: 12-Team College Football Playoff Is 'A Go'; 2023 or 2025 Season Eyed by Tim Daniels of Bleacher Report

Outstanding Post! Thanks!

I like reading theirs over time... Oregon vs. Utah Football Prediction and Preview by John Coon of Athlon Sports

It is good to get more evidence being held against us...and THANKS for posting it 81DuckAlum, and you have been killing-it with the GIFs!

Good points and there is truth in what you wrote; we are not there yet, but this is the most progress in the nearly four years of Cristobal.

These uniforms next to Battleship Grey? Ducks win! My friends...THAT is a very cool helmet, and for those who have a boring all-green helmet as an avatar--I will be replacing them with the left one you see below next week. I like the old green ones with the "O" in them, but the all-green recent year versions are kinda blah compared to this new one. vs.
