Watched a good UNC v Dook game last weekend, and Dook is pretty good, but sheesh.. Man, did we win out on that deal or what? Almost like "loosing" Willie T.

Scott, Brandon, A.J and myself trade thoughts, perspective and predictions on the matchup, which team has the QB advantage, what the blueprint is for a Ducks win and how we rated the start of the Dan Lanning Era on a 1-10 scale.

This was fun to put together, hope you all check it out!

Mitchell Forde spent the morning talking to fans and taking in the College GameDay experience, and he wrote an awesome feature story for us. Fun read!

Come on over!
you can get back to Eugene for the kickoff in a little over an hour by private jet. Then catch a limousine to Autzen that is waiting for you at Mahlon Sweet!

but if you can’t make it then I’d love to have you come to my house via the DSA
game day thread!

Let’s go 🦆s

A little more pregame coverage:

Good afternoon all,

Been a crazy week. We closed our new place in Tuesday. After we got the keys, I have spent most nights getting the 'little stuff' over which is really just loads of boxes in my car to try and get ahead of the 'big stuff' we will be doing Sunday.

Yes. I WILL be tailgating again Saturday (which just adds to the craziness), but I wouldn't miss this for the world.

The plan is to get there somewhere between 7:30 and 8:30am to set up.

We will be in the AUTZEN LOT, Space 6543 again thanks to the generosity of a member!

I do not have a plan for food this time as I have been going non-stop all week on moving stuff. I think I will likely just go with burgers and dogs with some chips and salsa as well as drinks.

hope some of you can make it by. Biggest home game since 2014 at the very least. Should be lots of people milling about. I will have the TV up for whatever is left of GameDay when I get in...

The one thing I am so impressed with a Lanning coached team is the improvement each week. I gotta believe the defense is due for a breakout.

Would like to see flock talk posted in first Duck club on Fridays so that we can have a discussion about it.

Jacob has the matchup breakdown as usual:

Christian McCafferey traded to Niners.

Should be a great one. Wanna make some money? Listen here:

UO wins, UCLA beats the spread. Everyone will be there. Says it hasn't rained in a month. Actually, it's been several..... Many many. with all time Oct highs.

There's a lot going on for 2024 two-way athlete recruit Jason Mitchell II. The Gardena (Calif.) Serra standout junior is trying to help position his team for a playoff run, and he also has added to his school work load within the last month after deciding that he is going to consider making the move to the 2023 class. USC, Oregon and Utah have been the schools most in play for the 6-foot-4 defensive back/receiver/quarterback and he has been able to visit each of those programs in person already.

His dad played at USC, and the feeling has been for a while that he will end up playing for the Trojans in college. Mitchell insists he has not made any decision, and Oregon is one of the schools that has continued to hold his attention. He is family friends with Demetrice Martin, who recruited his cousin Bookie Radley-Hiles, and he also knows several current Ducks players as well.

I talked with him about his interest in Oregon, and he has seen a lot that he likes about the program this fall.

“They got some players that I feel, not have been through the same stuff, but have been through the same level of life I would say. I know their players personally, so I just think they got dogs on their team. Then that always comes with the gear. So, it’s a win-win over there.”

Mitchell hopes to be fully decided on whether or not he will reclassify by the end of the year, but right now he is operating with the idea that this will be his last high school season.

Saw this tweet from the UO Alumni asking to see signs for the weekend. I'm not going but I made a sign anyway and you can see my feeble attempt below. If you are going, feel free to steal my sign.

Great column as usual -- check it out!

Good piece by Jacob Hamre highlighting the five Ducks who have most exceeded expectations so far, five who could be in for a bigger second half and five general takeaways from the first half of the season.

Gabriel and I combined to break down the key talking points and takeaways from the media availability so far this week with Dan Lanning, Bennett Williams, Casey Rogers and Jordon Riley.
