Santa Rosa Duck

Thank you Jordan. Reviewing it again makes me sad again. That first game in Eugene was a great game with our DUCKS getting a big assist from Autzen Stadium. I believe the Buckeyes got five procedure penalties due to the noise. In the Rose Bowl rematch, there is no question that our DUCKS were not prepared and that is on Dan Lanning and Will Stein and Tosh Lupoi. Why were they not prepared? Not sure I understand. Dan Lannig is a great coach and I want him here for years and years but what happened? Mike Tyson once said and I paraphrase "The great plan you have all changes once you get punched in the mouth". Well we got punched and had no answer at all. It seems there is a lot to correct on both sides of the ball. I still love my DUCKS!

It is clear to me that Dan Lanning needs to go and we need to bring on Ted Lasso! I don't believe that Dan Lanning has to go, this is my dry sense of humor.

This was an amazing season and congratulations to all our players. I do not think that our coaches had us prepared for this game. How do we give up 34 unanswered points? How do we let Dillon Gabriel get sacked 8 times? How do we let Jeremiah Smith run wild with very little coverage? How does our highly rated defensive line get zero sacks and very little pressure? It will be a long off season.

Jeremiah Smith 5 receptions for 161 yards.

Will Howard has 212 yards passing already.

The only good thing happening is the music from Steely Dan.

Here is the article and it should be unlocked. Very Interesting https://www.wsj.com/sports/football/oregon-ducks-dan-lanning-e7ad32b3?st=nYRCgS&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

I guess this means we are not getting Jalen Millroe. Quite a joke was that thread.

DUCKS WIN! 36-24 2 2 327

This fun thread has been up for a while so I am taking the liberty of adding a second photo with my Doggie Cosmo and my bride. IMG_5839.heic

I expect to see our two top tight ends to have a big presence in this game. tOSU is going to try to bring pressure on Dillon Gabriel and that is going to create some opportunity for Ferg and Sadiq IMHO.

Thanks Jordan. A bold prediction and a breath of fresh air. I like our DUCKS chances here. I sneak a peek at Eleven Warriors web site this past week a couple of times. It is pretty clear to tOSU faithful that Oregon does not have a chance, the refs handed us the last game and blah, blah blah. 2:00pm January 1 can not get here fast enough. Bring it on. BTW when do we get to see the uniform for the game?

Behind a Paywall

It has seemed to me all season that there were just 4-6 really good teams. As I look back over the past few years of the four team playoffs, it seems that there were only one or two teams complaining that they did not get in. I think the correct number is six not twelve. This is dragging out way too long for me.

Cosmo gets a lot of attention with his DUCK collar!

These two teams are pretty evenly matched IMHO. The one area where I think we are significantly better is our Head Coach vs Ryan Day. Another thing I like is the game will be played in Pacific Standard Time. tOSU will be two time zones out of sync. GO DUCKS!

Thanks for posting this Solar. I think the winner of this game is going to win the Championship. GO DUCKS!

This is a fun read especially about how Dan Lanning forced his way into the industry by force of will. He’s the Most Influential Coach in College Football’s Playoff—and His Team Only Won Two Games All Season - WSJ

Golden Domers for the Win 35-21 2 4 245 yards

Montana State will not be a pushover and could be our toughest home game IMHO.

Six foot five inches and 225 pounds. How big is he going to be when he grows up?

Withdrawal for sure but I will start watching Friday evening at 5:00pm with the Indiana vs Notre Dame game. The Golden Domers are favored by 7.5 points at Notre Dame Stadium.

Lots of bare chested guys in the stadium at 29 degrees. Oh to be young. Montana State beat Idaho 38-7 this year. Oh boy, we get Montana State for our first game of the year.

Rece Davis said the same thing today.
