I like Oregon this week

-
I feel exactly the same way. Zero nerves. Sad, really.
-
Well look who is right again
Good game by my ducks. I was a little hard on Will Howard but he and Day came through to fuck it up when it counted
-
Ducks actually made that harder on themselves and left points on the table. Without Burch in particular I was surprised by the outcome.
Beating Buck is not easy.
-
I for one am proud to be an Oregonian today. Great win by our Ducks !!
-
Looking for the second spitter
-
I miss the days when the entire season was a playoff. Not enough players crying after that one, but it’s nice that Oregon can finally beat the B1G boys when the pressure is off.
-
Sean Taylor famously spit on someone (curiously against someone on NFL Buck). Ever since then, I’ve accepted spitting as acceptable expression of aggression.

You can also hypothetically take 7 off the board for Bucks after the opening pick… but of course we don’t deal with those.
Oregon has a lot to fix if they want to be a real boy. Still way too many mental errors on the sidelines and on the field. But we’re now looking for perfection as they’ve passed the first test.
-
I don't see any team Oregon can't beat. Georgia and Bama have bad defenses.
I guess Texas is a legit #1 but they aren't unbeatable
Oregon has been stacking talent. Use it
Watch out for Vandy in the playoffs though
-
if they get Burch back they could be a watch out team. He’s the one who makes the D line dangerous. The others are serviceable to solid. With Burch drawing 2, the other look a whole lot better. Assuming that because he was game time decision that he’s not lost for the season. But I have no idea.
-
He was absolutely not a game time decision.
-
it’s what I read

Race has done it again!

I wasn't able to watch the whole game and definitely won't be able to stomach rewatching but I'll give credit to Oregon and Lanning for finally getting the big win. Your old buddy Crisco may have done you a major solid in getting Cam Ward away from Ohio State because Will Howard is ass.
I'm not sure what you could do because of the way it was executed but when they got the penalty after the TD and the good field position for the kickoff I was like does Ohio State not know they are 100% onside kicking something here?
I'm even more worried that it's a down year for teams overall and particularly at QB so some team that just pays the most for a portal all star team could win. Bama, Georgia, Ohio State and possibly Texas are all limited at QB and they aren't as superior in the trenches as they have been in recent history and there's no teams like UW and Michigan who have long term chemistry, identify, coaching and QB play.
Harmon looks way scarier than Burch to me.
There is a very likely script where Ohio State does what you did last year and chirps about a rematch for two months, then gets one and loses again. They generally seem to lack the edge/toughness that the elite SEC teams have had in recent years or Michigan last year.
Regardless I still hate all of you and I'm mostly just posting this shit because I'm not like you and only post when my team is on top or yours is struggling.
-
Agree 100%. It sucks Ohio State, Georgia, Oregon, Penn State and Texas don’t have the the same history on the bench as long time Husky coaching legend Kalen DeBoer did.
-
I was very impressed with Howard yesterday
-
Dude was great. Hardly put a foot wrong until the last second and it wasn’t his call to drop back four times when they only needed a few yards to get into range.
-
That's a strange thing to try and pick out of that. I'm talking about a convergence of overall talent and continuity with players, QB play, coaching skill, and identify. Ohio State has talent and a nucleus of guys who have played together for a while but their QB play is average and Days sucks. Georgia has coaching and talent but seems like they lack the returning dudes they have had the past few years and Beck isn't a killer. I could go down the line. Michigan last year had it all. As did Georgia the past couple years before that.
-
I responded to what you wrote.
You had a good team for 2 seasons with a mercenary qb (just like everyone else) and we’re all supposed to listen to you go on about a lack of cohesiveness, culture and togetherness in todays game.
It’s just funny is all.
-
really weird play calling from chip at the end. Reading up on it today, though, it seems like they didn’t trust their kicker from >40 yards even though he had just crisped a 42 yarder. But his reaction to that make makes a lot more sense, now. Dude seemed more surprised than anyone it went in so purely
