Good Gosh....I hope you can hear this!

Ouch!

I am NOT related to this guy...but I agree with him!

Boo!

USC fans are also not happy?

Did you hear that the Huskies lost to the Row-the-Boaters from Minneapolis 27-24? The day just got better-and-better!

The photo up there now is Jordon Davison falling into the end zone for the second-to-last touchdown scored on Saturday. Our photographer, Rebecca Villagracia, captured others as well where the subject of the photo is on the side, (by design) so that when we place ads in the middle--we still see the action. She did a superb job on the sidelines, and as a smaller forum...we were damn lucky to get a media/photo pass to be on the sideline. This is part of the extensive work done in the background of the forum to provide a fun experience for all of us. I hope you enjoy the photo background as much as I do. I cannot see the photo background on my iPhone 17 Pro, but I can on both my home and office desktop. I hope you can see them too! Our profound thanks again to Rebecca for her wonderful skills in capturing images like these for our benefit.

We have a ways to go, but that was a big confirmation step forward of where this team can progress to. Dylan Raiola proved my assertion again, that if you are Oregon...you should always have an experienced portal QB available, and in waiting. No way a newbie freshman QB wins that game... This was a confidence boost for the players and the coaches that can really propel them further this season.

Good Gosh! The final score was Oregon winning, by a 41-27 score, and long-time OBD member Red Eddy Green predicted a 42-27 final score! Pretty darn good! We had some many others who came within four overall points, but Red Eddy Green showed the most guts with his prediction. Congrats to him! Thanks to all who played, and congrats again to Red Eddy Green!

Let's discuss the game before and during, here in this thread with fellow intense Oregon fans. Being critical of coaching decisions and player performance is FINE, as that is what we do in a forum. But do not get personal towards the players, coaches, or fellow OBD forum members. But being angry, joyous,....all of it is normal and fine, so enjoy the game!

Outstanding, and informative....thank you Mike!

It is that time of the week again to have fun with our game prediction contest! Guesses on other threads don't count--only those here, and only those entries completely filled out with the tiebreakers are valid entries. Let's have fun with it as we have so many years in the past... Let me know: --Which team wins: --Score: --How many turnovers created by Oregon? --How many sacks of the opponent by Oregon? --How many passing yards by Oregon? My prediction of Oregon vs. USC: Oregon 41-24 2 3 292

Very cool helmet!

I remember a uniform like this that did well in LA in the past!

This topic is one that can go either way with you depending upon how you view it. And before I get started on that--please....everyone who is a member....DO post your opinions, and do start some topics. As I can attest, not all threads take off, but we need more posts begun by more than the half-dozen who do. And for those who began posting and/or reading since the season began....WELCOME BACK! I have not read or watched all the negative written or spoken about Oregon since the Cowboy loss, because what I saw made me wince and cringe enough. Our 2026 rep has taken a MAJOR hit, and now the objective is to not only correct it for this year, but regain the strong respect this program had prior to the loss. But doesn't it feel like it is nearly impossible to recover the prior good feelings, and respect for the 2026 Ducks? In fact it feels to me like--even if we win this weekend...in the backs of the minds of millions of CFB fans....Oregon is on the Clemson path--even if that is an unjustified take. In fact I would venture that for nearly EVERY game we play here on out--we will not be thought much of going in, and if we win? We don't get much out of it... But that can REALLY help us, don't you think? We are now the permanent UNDERDOG, the team continuously OVERLOOKED by every opponent and CFB fan. We could finish up 11-1 and still not be highly respected, or ranked going into the Playoffs. And do you think ANYONE would back us in the Playoffs in ANY game? You know...this COULD be a perfect scenario in the eyes of some; we have an experienced team with elite talent that was embarrassed, and is now playing at their best to "show" everyone, (and the NFL Scouts) of how that one game was a mess-up, but not a true indicator of this team. Seems like the ideal mental set-up for the team, as they are no longer full-of-themselves, but now working hard to prove their superiority? As you know, I am so amused with all the ancillary aspects of the football game, as concepts like this are highly entertaining to ponder and watch materialize. Could our current position be the perfect mental launching point to still make our run at a 'Natty? P.S. You will notice a big new space at the top of the front page, as I am making room for ads up there that will begin in the near future. Gotta get some revenue for all the expenses! P.S.S. One of the big changes is making most of the front page transparent, so you can see the background picture when you view the forum in desktop, laptop or pad. We are using a whole new color formatting system that gives you a base color, but allows you to see the picture underneath when you could not before. Now we do not have that in the threads because we tested it, and realized we needed to keep the white post boxes from being transparent to allow for easy reading. A lot of tech work!

The University of Oregon is getting a $1 billion donation from Phil and Penny Knight to create the Knight College of Engineering. The donation will fund the construction of a third building on the university’s Knight Campus, costs to hire faculty and staff and operational expenses for the new college in “perpetuity,” Robert Guldberg, vice president and Knight Campus executive director, told reporters Wednesday, Sept. 23. The gift, which he said is spread out over 10 years, is the largest “given to a comprehensive public university,” according to an early-morning press release from the university. There will not be any duplication of engineering programs offered at Oregon State, and you can find the official Oregon Press Release right here. An article about it from Yahoo.com discloses more details, and a local paper offers more perspectives. This is a pretty stunning gift, that begins to move the destiny of the university behind Our Beloved Ducks in a direction none of us could have foreseen.
