    Zeros are 1-8 in Pac-12 road games since 2016. I like the Bears at home this Saturday.

    New players, new staff, new attitude.

    Nuff said.

    This is the most critical game that the ducks need to WIN since Michigan State in 2014. It's critical to get a road win over a ranked team to seize back momentum before the Washington game. Our players will be prepared by the process, laser focused, confident but not arrogant and come out ready to play some more SEC ball on Saturday.

    A top 10 finish in Cristobal's first year is now possible imo.

    Oregon should smash Cal but they have a ton of young guys taking snaps. If I remember correctly 17 of the 22 deep on offense are back next year and that projects Herbert leaving and 19 on defense projecting Dye is back.

    To me this is the best Stanford team of my lifetime. They have absolutely had some more talented players but this version has some things you just can't stop on offense and the secondary is good enough to make you earn everything. I don't care about the bad snap, the pylon, or the fumble. The Ducks absolutely ass raped them up front on both sides and lost because of two plays. You have to be such a good fucking team to win a game when you're getting dominated physically on the road and the other team really only made three mistakes in 60 minutes.

    If the best the Ducks can do at home isn't enough to beat the conference champion at home, does a hangover type performance against a top 25 team on the road get it done? Probably not.

    This game will go two ways. The Ducks will absolutely crush them. I mean a Nick Cage, 8mm type snuff film or Cal wins a close one. 3 to 10 points.

    These guys thought the doogs were bad after losing to Auburn


    Holy shit

    The doogs or the dwags (as in the football team)? If you're talking about dwags, not really. Washington played a respectable game against the Tigers. It's wasn't enough, but it was respectable.

    A hangover performance isn't an option. If Cristobal is a serious coach, he'll have our guys ready and in the same mindset they were in when they faced Stanford. Or an even better one. I think he gets it done and I agree with the visiting recruits' take on the potential they see from of the program under Cristobal based on that game: a potential future national title contender.

    Andrew Lucks Orange Bowl team was way better than this year.

    Not even close. Luck was a fucktard in college. The 2012 squad was their best. 2012 was Oregon's best team and they beat them at home. ShawFS screwed up the QB decision and cost them a shot at the title.

    Cristobal can get 10 wins.
