Because of course they did

Probably not. But we've had no shortage of big boy wins in the past few years.
-
Which Lanning wins are better? UCLA or Utah two years ago? Both at home by the way.
-
Georgia
-
Oh shit, totally forgot. It's losing close to Washington.
-
Neither are impressive but both better than a 7-5 Michigan team playing qb roulette and unable to complete a forward pass. Any of the remaining wins on your schedule sans ucla would qualify as more of a “big boy” win
-
The only potential opportunities for big boy wins left are at Penn State and at Oregon and it depends on how both those teams finish. It was a must-win win or a program that beat UW in the natty in national prime time against a Top 10 on paper team with great talent at spots that killed us in said national championship game. That team is a lot like a more talented Utah team anyway. I think Rising just threw that ball at Dalton Kincaid's feet for no reason in Eugene again while I typed this.
-
Pac12 champion Utah I’d say.
Nobody here is pimping the Utah win, but if you’re going to ask the question, that’s the answer.
-
There are 2 "big boy" win opportunities left. Penn State and Oregon on the road. Iowa, IU, USC would be "quality" wins but not "big boy" ones.
I would suspect I probably am harassing more Duck fans to their faces on a regular basis than any man here, including @haie down there in Vantucky. I've had a good run but am prepared to take my lumps come November. My 10 year old is another story; he's been bullying the shit out all the elementary school Ducklings and they are looking for revenge. I'm hoping he doesn't have a nervous breakdown.
-
Got a good laugh. Thanks and at least you're answering and being honest. I'll give all the credit to Lan man if you guys win this weekend. I look forward to the Oregon shirt after you beat UW in November.
-
Oregon and Texas. What are some of the other ones?
Not flaming but you all are out over your skis around here after last weekend.
You lost to Coug and Rutgers so maybe reel your necks in a little bit. -
If Lanning wins this weekend I will simply pivot to Day being the biggest loser coach in America and his Seattle players being absolute pussies for not being at Washington.
But what is most likely going to happen is a Ryan Day fake tough guy WWE post game speech on the O about how nobody gave his team a shot to win this 42-40 win in Eugene.
-
“That’s what I like to call him”
Whoregon is not beating the buckeyes so “the lann man” is just going to have a to wait a little longer before you give him any credit. Hope he doesn’t see this.
-
Oregon wins this game. Day is a fag but Autzen and Gabriel are the difference
And it qualifies as a big win
-
No faith in Day. Whichever fake voice coach wins this game is gonna have some great sound bites. It would be more impressive for Lanning if he wins though. Day's long proven he's a guy who is given the first-third best roster in college football and still can't win it all. I wonder what happened with Ohio State and Cam Ward. They would be a lot scarier with him.

I'm a great fucking skier man @MikeSeaver and I hardly ever get out over my skis. I had this season pegged at 6-6 or 7-5 from the get go and nothing's changed with me.
#6 Oregon - 2022
#8 Oregon - 2023
#5 Oregon - 2023
#3 Texas - 2023
Oregon was a CFP caliber team in 2023 (with a QB who's starting in the NFL right now) who we beat 2 x in row. Those are clearly big boy wins.
-
Day sucks and is clearly not an elite corch. Harbough made him his bitch.
Lanning needs to win this one to prove he's a good dame day coach who can win the big boy games.
-
Well, I said Oregon and Texas.
-
Washington has either sucked or played a weak schedule for years
Had to switch leagues to get better games.
Michigan was big locally but not a big boy win. 2nd highest ratings I believe last Saturday so better to win it than lose it like the Trojans
Texas blew them out
Not going to lie the double against Oregon last year and then the Sugar Bowl was as much fun for me since 91
So thank you
-
Be more confident. It's ok to think of your team as prospective big boy win for your opponent.
-
There’s nothing wrong with winning and scores are tightening all over the country.
Survive and advance has never been more true.
-
I said Oregon.
Sounds like you’re the one in need of a confidence boost. -
Your earlier comment seemed to imply that Oregon and (2023) Texas didn't count as big boy wins.
-
I was implying it was limited to 2 teams.
-
Well, now that we've hit the big time with our half shares, these opportunities will become more frequent.
-
agreed.
-
I enjoyed Michigan last weekend more than every home win since Stanford in 2016. Nobody thought that Stanford was completely done as a program at that point.
Oregon fans dressed in custom dog catcher uniforms on a super dark/grey day in Seattle with another blown Grubb/Fats 11 point lead was not an enjoyable experience.
-
Indiana is substantially better than Michigan this year. Not as big a scalp in name, obviously. But that would be a great road win
-
I think Michigan can run it down their throats and put enough pressure on their QB to have a comfortable win in their little stadium, but just my opinion.
We'll see if they're for real soon
-
@DerekJohnson has made me disdainful of all things IU related. I can't respect IU. I just can't.
-
Watched them demolish Ucla. Yes the Bruins suck but the Hoosiers were good
Their qb is there with Rogers and Gabriel in the stats
