Riley’s house is in Palos Verdes, which is still an hour+ commute most of the time, but not as bad as Malibu to U$C. But Palos Verdes is even more uptight and exclusive than Malibu. I guarantee Riley has never hosted his players there.

I have never been a Graves fan, even during the Ionescu years. Graves is a problem, and it was Campbell who was the glue during Graves’ championship tenure. Campbell is married to the daughter of one of Oregon’s greatest girls’ HS bball coaches EVER, Oregon City’s Brad Smith. I played with her and for her dad on state select teams, and they were amazing!! Can we pleeeeeeease bring Campbell back to replace Graves? OBD would be in the Final four in 2 yrs.

My absolute favorite gripe from the Canes is about Trey Benson. ”Mario could have got Trey Benson but he didn't.” I was super disappointed when Trey left OBD but wished him well. I didn’t think about him again, but now he’s crushing it for FSU. As someone who has made a career out of knowing when to move on before the lay-offs, I admire Trey for getting a new gig before Mari-no-O imploded. And Trey getting to beat his forme captor must feel good.

My thoughts exactly!

U$C is a classic example of a team playing down to its competition. They squeak by the bad teams, but they have talent that can be “turned on” when its inspired but doesn’t show up consistently. So the fact that the reigning Heisman winner was able to score 2 TDs against our backups when the game was out of reach doesn’t bother me.

The ‘23 FSU team has the same rhythm as the ‘14 FSU team. They will both get destroyed in the CFP semis.

Wow! OSU taking it to Stanford! I’ve been saying all season that the Beavs are the team I am most afraid of.

Please do this again next year so I can plan to attend!! I am so envious of all who made it.

As much as I was cheering for UU, the game ended perfectly for the Ducks. Our UU win looks even better. UW looks vulnerable but still got its win. If OBD play up to their standard tonight, we should be sitting pretty tomorrow.

Any chance you got some video to share? And any pix?

Ducks win 77 - 13 Ducks get 2 ints and recover 1 fumble and 1 blocked punt Ducks sack Williams 6 times Nix throws for 389 yards and TT throws for 120 yds

The epitome of spoiled children

I can imagine that when my stud QB advocates for and ultimately lands his brother at my position, I might look elsewhere.

The false starts suck but seem situational—crowd noise, defense shenanigans, etc.. The after-the-whistle calls are unacceptable. Emotional control is one of the most, if not _the_ most, important skill for success in sports. (I know bc I was not good at it.) Judging from interviews, DL and crew seem to understand this.

Pac12 refs much??

This makes me even more excited to play them. The new co-DCs clearly haven’t improved things—they might even be the reason players aren’t doing film study anymore. Also, based on the latest interviews of U$C players, I can now see why Riley didn’t want them to be available for press after Utah. They sound like whiney babies.

This just triggered my PTSD from trying to park in Eugene. I got many, many boots…

I’ve never seen this before… DL opens his Wed press conference singing the praises of his scout team. “Really proud of the guys that are giving us a look this week look is extremely important playing obviously a really talented team. Brock Thomas, is doing a good job over there. Extending plays and making it challenging for us. On the defensive side of the ball several guys on defense doing the same thing for our offensive unit but tough challenge ” Some coaches talk about teams. DL clearly walks the walk. Teams are only as strong as their weakest link. Go Ducks!

So true—Stein really has his work cut out for him. 🤣

One thing is for sure, if OBD win the coin toss, they need to get the ball first on offense and run a 75-yard series that ends in a TD and takes 5 mins off the clock before U$C ever breathes on the ball.

AND we have the #11 scoring D (SOS #61) Only 2 other teams have top-15 scoring offenses and defenses: Michigan (SOS #70) and SMU (SOS #112).

From the article posted by @Pennsylvania Duck wrt the Cotton Bowl: “The fact that Grinch wasn’t summarily fired after that unforgivable finish speaks volumes about Riley’s loyalty, and speaks even louder about his unseriousness as a coach.” This! Riley is not a serious coach.

Also known as the 8 vs 9 game conference schedule.

Bo to the Rams!!! Then both my LA teams will have Duck QBs. And Bo can hand-off to Royce Freeman. 🤩🤩
