As a former D1 runner I just cannot grasp the "Oh we're winning so let us relax a bit cuz we can't be beaten" mentality of the too cool-for-school guys. How about giving your best effort for yourself and your teammates with the bonus of destroying the other team? Especially considering how many fricken times these guys have had an opportunity to learn the lesson of never letting up. Don't they want to consume the flesh and soul of their opponent? God, it drives me crazy every single time. It would be like watching a really good middle-distance runner knowing he was probably going to win so he repeatedly coasted the last 100 meters. Well by doing that you will never come close to reaching your best and when the crucible comes you won't have forged your iron will enough to resist a mentally stronger opponent. I have watched so many Duck games over the years that I can tell within two plays when they have collectively let the foot off the pedal. Guess what boys..it isn't easy to regain momentum so never give it up until you are removed from the game.

I am confused how a forearm to the head isn't something to review. Also whenever a player does the shrug/who me after a play that is usually a good sign they did something weasley.

If you EVER again hint that UW winning is good then you must suspend yourself for a week.

I don't want much in this life but a vengeful D line is one of them. Alas.

I prefer the national media to not talk about Oregon when it put out a wet fart of an effort against Idaho. Let's see if Dan can figure out how to call 4th down plays correctly. Let's see if the NIL rich kids can play with heart to the level of lower quality opponents. Who knows. We shall know more after game 4.

You can NIL the talent all you want but you cannot pay for heart.

3 avoidable losses are on Lanning so I don't know if they can be classified as good decisions in reality due to the results.

As the USA vs Serbia game showed the amazing level of talent is nice but actually playing cohesively as a team means a heckuva lot. Having both is rare and maybe this is the year it happens for us.

Hopefully, this means Lanning has figured out how not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I would like Oregon to beat UW a few times before I get all worked up over our alleged coming dominance.

Welcome to where I was even during the last year or two of the Sabrina era. But then I had inside Intel

At the very least, you cannot suck as a coach if you're on this list

As posted elsewhere.

I'm sorry... This isn't a website for loser Beaver sports. Glad they lost!

Well...bye

Every college fan base thinks their college QB hero would have been super good in the NFL.....if only.

You're welcome, Bo!

We could pronounce his last name as Fistch.

That's all fine and good but, in my opinion, he would have left for Bama if offered.

Sorry to bring it up again but where is the evidence Lanning was offered the Bama job? I am glad Deboer is gone as he, in my opinion, is currently a better coach than Lanning. But I still am curious if we have actual EVIDENCE (not supposition) of Lanning turning down the job and not just homer hagiography worship of Lanning and hoping he chose Oregon over Bama. All that being said I am so glad Lanning is our coach.

I am just glad Deboer is gone. He got his team mentally prepared to compete like hell against us in the P12 title game. Lanning for some reason wasn't able to get our guys WANTING it.

Was he offered Bama? Otherwise I'm not sure the loyalty angle.
