Would Oregon have any interest?

UCF 31, Stanford 7 midway through the 2nd quarter. Ducks will not only have to win next week at Stanford, but apply a whooping!

Fun to watch at my local pub.

WSU receivers are great after the catch....QB just threw a TD pass and looked like Mahomes doing so....

WSU doesnt miss a beat..wether they win or lose this game..

Cannot believe Leach will be at WSU next year.....maybe FSU...lol!

The Ducks will have just one OV in the stands this weekend but it is a guy we will know the results with relatively quickly. He's announcing at his homecoming game on 9/20.

Edit: Hearing Ducks added another important visitor.

Sounds like CCHS came out strong, but then....Lot's of top D1 talent on both teams.

Here is the finalized list of confirmed VIP visitors. I am using VIP to denote "has Oregon offer".

We just got confirmation that a big time DT is going to be in the house tomorrow also.

Looking at this game, it is impossible to see a scenario in which the Ducks lose to Montana. All signs point to a blowout with basically nobody on the Griz roster that would likely make the Duck two-deep

The line in Vegas started at 25.5 on Monday and as of this morning is 27.0 with O/U 64.0.

Cristobal may let off the gas a little if possible, but like last week if the 2nd and 3rd strings execute, they will still dominate.

All that said

Oregon 55 - Montana 16

unfortunately I didn’t catch the meet but what a fun concept. It reminds me of the old USA v USSR meets. Watch the video and get s small taste of what to expect at the much much bigger World Championships when it comes to the University of Oregon in 2021!

I'd think now, and even last year, were the times for Chip and hi staff to strike on the recruiting trail..and they didn't and aren't. He had some pretty good recruiters at UO but doesn't seem to have added enough youthful vitality in his staff to do what he needs to do now, when Socal is ripe for picking it. Oh well, I'd like to see him do well there, just not super well.
I agree, the portal into the WR spot at UO doesn't look super attractive for a guy who wants to play right away. If the staff can get him w/o that kind of assurance and it doesn't make our 2 commits flip floppy, he's a no brainer. Maybe he wants to play safety, assuming that's still a possibility? He's got good size if he's got the physical skills, ie, listed as an "athlete."

Many of you may have missed this, but I started appearing as a guest on a Podcast this season with Marcus Greaves. This is through KOIN, so was definitely a worthwhile pursuit.

Take that, E$PN, NCAA and $EC

Some programs schedule to protect and pad their record, while others look for a head-to-head early challenge to define their progress.

If the Ducks had opened with Central Michigan or South Florida at home in Autzen to open the season they'd be 2-0 and ranked 8th and everyone would be feeling pretty optimistic about 2019.

Instead they took on Auburn and took a tough loss. In the coming years, they have a home and home with The Ohio State and a "neutral site" game with Georgia.

That's scheduling to challenge your team, but it's not the safest route.

Which do you prefer, the big risk/big reward play-the-best-to-be-the-best approach, or the soft landing and easy wins?

Wazzu and Washington State each have 3 nonconference cupcakes. Stanford and USC always schedule tough.

If you were the AD, which approach would you take?

The big early game can really deflate a team's prospects sometimes, but it does add juice to fall camp and winter workouts, piques the interest early in a slate of one-sided/who cares games around the country.

What do you want to see as a fan?

Do you think the NCAA should mandate meaningful a Power 5 matchup for every team, set a minimum number of conference games or otherwise make scheduling more interesting and/or equitable around the country? Should the SEC be forced to travel to a different time zone and play a competitive opponent before rivalry week?

I don't have the answers, I'm just interested in what this group of knowledgeable college football fans thinks on this subject. Have the Ducks made a mistake in going big every year over the next few seasons?

It's a late game against a less than stellar opponent; but that does not mean we cannot congregate and talk Oregon football!


For those who will be in Eugene tomorrow, I will be at the DYS Space 223 which we have been for the past 10 years.

Tailgate will be going -- just no television; no grill yet, but will have some things ready to eat; some drinks and, as always, discussion of many things (mostly football).

Hope to see as many DSA'ers there as possible!

UO at 14
