Great interview from Noah Whittington after practice today. Here is our story:

Good morning. We are back with another Tuesday Take Two:

I didn't. I was just young enough to miss Vietnam, but my grandfather served and was mustard gassed in WW I and my Dad, may he RIP, was in training for WW II when it ended. He was in Officer Training, so he got a full ride to complete his medical degree at UM and then served during the Korean War. My best friend's father in the UK was in the Battle of Britain flying hurricanes to save Britain. My best friend's Dad in NC flew for the Navy in Korea and and Vietnam. My wife and I just lost a close friend who was awarded the Silver and Bronze Star's, along with a Purple heart in WWII. I know we have active and retired service members on the Board, but I don't know who ya'll are. Why did you/they do it? What is the higher calling, and why beckon to it? Could it be there is something bigger than ourselves? In times like these, it should seem obvious, but I fear it's not. Why serve the USA? And gratitude to those who did!

.....for our next OC?

I'm fairly confident that this will be Will Stein's last season before taking a Head Coaching position.

Who or where should we be looking to keep this thing rolling?

Dan Lanning talked about the challenges facing Oregon this week with a lot of first round level talent on the Michigan defense and said: "It's hard every single week" (in the Big Ten Conference)

Here is our recap of his comments:

Wow ... seven people were lined up on that 38. Guess you are getting close to understanding the Ducks .. we'll see if that continues with the visit to the big house. Adam carried the day witha near perfect prediction but he was doomed as soon as the Illini lined up for the two point conversion. Miss it, which they did, puts it a point short or make it is one too many on the high side. Still, great job, Adam you just didn't figure the coach was and idiot. Some really good results for a lot of you ..

Great job guys see you soon for the Big Blue Mouse score guessing contest.

I met Peyton Pritchard’s sister Lexi on the Samford University campus yesterday—I just started working there in August . She is working on an MBA and played basketball there the past two years. It was fun talking all things Oregon and Ducks with her. Didn’t realize how many if her brothers played at Oregon.

Some notes following the weekend

Heard from a friend who was at the game and sat next to some very nice fans from Illinois that said seatmates commented that they thought the altitude in Eugene got to the Illini in the 4th quarter.

No blue font because this was real.

Sorry for delay. Drive home followed by a trip to ER for my wife.

Ploog had his family with him this time because he wanted to have them get the vibe and feeling he had during the Ohio State visit.

I have been told that this was a home run and expect Ploog to flip in the near future.

Good morning #GoDucks fans, this morning we take a 3-2-1 look back at the dominant win over Illinois:

Tough situation. Some athletes gain, while others lose. The article’s title mentions 100s of athletes at risk, but the content makes clear that 1000s of roster spots are being cut.

Ohio St struggling against Nebraska. Upset alert time? Wouldn’t help Oregon’s “best win” case.

Oklahoma putting up a fight vs Ole Miss, and Notre Dame says thank you to Navy for three first half turnovers. Indiana and UW battling into the 4th quarter.

This is so obviously AI generated, I beg you not to subscribe, lol. That's why I like DSA. We are friends and real people.

So let's admit, Gibbs is fast, but re-watch the OL play. Any one of our RB's would have a huge gain off that. It all started in the trenches, starting with Mario's OL recruiting, and now with Lanning's DL. So what if Sewell is RT, aint nobody stopping the Lions OL. For every star RB there are 5-6 OL's/ TE's paving the way.

Dillon Gabriel after the game talked about his place in the record books: "I'm chasing wins"

Impressive home win.

Last 2 roadies are still challenging but if we continue to stay healthy and play our game we just may finish 12-0.
