Congrats to the Ducks and their classy fans here on the FishDuck Forum.  You guys earned the right to enjoy and savor a well deserved victory. Much respect.

It was a painful thing for me to watch. I've got some of that taste in my mouth that you guys had last week.

 

Good luck against the Beav's next week. I think that could be another close one.

Win or lose I really love college football!!!!

You are very kind, as Utah fans have been the best here, and while I feel bad for them--I am grateful for the victory.  If Rising had a decent day, and Bo was healthy--what kind of game would THAT have been?

 

Good luck on the rest of your season, and do stay in touch here!

 

Thanks, Utah has brought nothing but class and sportsmanship to the Pac and not to mention a damn good football team. 

Freddy D thank you for being so gracious. That was a hard fought game between 2 top 15 teams.

 

Utah has been a grest addition to the PAC. Great fans, great student athletes and school.

 

While this Duck victory helps erase some of the vomit taste from last years 2 brutal beatdowns, it wont be fulfilled until a few more Duck victories are in hand.

 

I expect the Utes, Ducks and the putrid dogs to carry the PAC standard for years.

 

Enjoy your holiday season.....

Here’s to hoping that UO and Utah have many top ten battles for PAC supremacy in the future.

Great comment, FreddyD. Have always liked the Utes, Wittingham, and the way the team plays. There seems to be a great culture there. I always root for the Utes against anybody by Oregon.

Thanks, classy post.

 

Question on Cam Rising and his injury.  How are the Ute fans evaluating his performance last night?  I saw a tweet before the game that he was wearing a larger than normal brace.  Was he playing on pure grit and determination just like Bo?

 

I'll leave you with a quote for Lanning's post game comments Utah fans might miss.  Says a lot about Utah and their coach.

 

"That’s a good team we just played. I’ve got more respect for Coach Whittingham than anybody else in this conference, he’s won a lot of ball games and that’s a good team."

Hard to say what was up with Rising. He seemed okay physically to me (despite the bigger brace). It just seemed like he was came out a little flat and had a bit of an off night. I still love the guy though. He doesn't have off the charts talent but he's a warrior and usually finds a way to win. Just not last night. Props to the Ducks D for coming up big at critical moments.

I'm still recovering but congratulations to you guys.

Just reminisce of 2021. I'm sure you'll feel better.

I've had good experiences around the majority of Ute fans while attending a few games.

 

I honestly can't say the same for several other program's fans, by any stretch of the imagination.

 

Good luck moving forward.

I have so much respect for Coach Whittingham and his teams.  Reminds me of former coaches and players from Oregon's past.  Talent Coached up, developed to compete at a higher level against more talented schools.  The Utes and Oregon have fielded lesser known athletes that have performed in a competitive manner on the field, usually in front of large hostile crowds.  Never electing to turn down a great team, or chance to measure themselves against elite competition.  This is why college football is so enjoyable to watch.  Go Ducks, Go Utes, finish the season strong.

My congrats as well.  Have just moved to the point where I can talk about it.  Utah was simply outplayed and the Oregon coaches did a great job - except that one play.   I have a lot of respect for how Bo stepped up and made the plays when he was obviously hurt.  Hope the Ducks win out.  

I was at the Pac-12 Championship debacle last year (well... a debacle for us Ducks anyway). We had a small group of fun Utah fans around us, and we actually had a good time with them... even though the pain poured down on us :-). They were football knowledgeable, and they were also rather generously merciful to us.

 

After the game was completely out of hand, I learned that Utah had never been to the Rose Bowl before. That actually took a little bit of the sting out of our beatdown. Every fan base needs at least one trip to the Rose Bowl. It is still quite the wonderful event.
