Ducking the Ducks

[HuntlandVolinColo]

From what I've read, it's one scholarship in each of the next three seasons.

And they lost about 1/3 of their athlete official visits.

And the Duck mascot gets cornholed by the Beaver mascot (...I'm guessing strap-on).

True. Oregon is a lot like their hot cheerleaders. They let you think you have a shot at first....

Their cheerleaders are all from out of state. Trust me, I live in Portland. Not a target rich environment.

As for the game, well, I give us a puncher's chance. The lil' Duckies are frontrunners. They are great as long as they are running up and down the field untouched, beating their chest like this is the NBA. But punch 'em in the mouth, hold down the big plays and they get frustrated. They're not tough enough to win grind it out football games. Ask Stanford. Or any ranked SEC team they play.

That being said, I think their speed proves to be too much for us. But, that's why they play the games.

This same exact argument was made when we played them at home.

And for a half... a team QB'd by Matt Simms, with an OL composed of 4 Fr and a "never was" Sr, and whose best (only really) offensive weapon was Poole hung with Oregon.

Oh, and on D, the leading tackler was a walk-on. The only credible DT was a DE transfer.

It would be a massive understatement to say that the current team is much more able to pull that strategy off than the one in 2010.

The only downer in beating the Ducks is that it will be harder to sneak up on the gators.

Gators ain't too smart. Offer them some duck meat on a steel hook. When they go for it, shoot 'em in the head. make boots with the skin and use the meat for strip steaks and gator chili. Feed the guts to the dogs. Let the raccoons have what's left. I'm all for recycling.

Seriously, if we beat the ducks, Florida will be nervous and certainly put in serious prep time for us. But if we beat the ducks, I have no doubt we skin the Gators because it will mean we have a viable defense and enough firepower to serve notice Bama's way. They won't be whistling Dixie then.

To the guy who said Oregon's cheerleaders are all from out of state and not much good hunting in the Eugene area, well.... I haven't been out there in a LONG TIME. But when I went Oregoning in the past, there were a lot of head turning beauties. The only complaint I had about Oregon was people didn't seem to know how to give directions. Down yonder and over that way etc. no street names or landmarks mentioned just isn't helpful.

Once again, almost all college students and a LOT of them from out of state, my friend. The same could be said for most college towns I suppose, they are not necessarily representative of the entire state. And I believe I said Portland, not Eugene. I have only visited Eugene, I live in Portland. But the average Southern town has it all over anything I've seen here in Portland (or anywhere else outside of L.A.). Portland is infamous for less than attractive women and Melissa Etheridge fans.......

Ahhh, summer, when there is so little real football to talk about that we debate the merits of Southern women, lol.

Well friend, nice to see a disagreement here without any mud slinging--THANKS. Anyway, I've been all over Oregon but again as I said, it's been a long time since I've been Oregoning. I just recall seeing lots of head turning beauties there, Portland included. Things change. Maybe folks even give better directions now than back when I was traipsing about the state.

We have no chance to stop them unless this new coach they have doesn't have a clue on how to run that offense. People continue to underestimate this football team and I have no idea why. They are arguably the 2nd best football program in the country right now. Our WRs have little chance against their corners. We may be able to run the ball but that is the only matchup we will win. Sorry for the reality check.

If the football Gods look down kindly upon us that evening, it will make ESPN's top 2 upsets of the decade. Here's to that faniciful wish. :whistling:

I truly think we win this game. Our defense will be better prepared for their offense, because of our similiar offenses. We have a top notch oline. We have two very good DTs to go with a top notch MLB, which should make for a great run defense. And getting Randolph back should really help the back end. This mixed with some quality coaching should be enough to get by.

Quality coaching is number one, we've got the talent. I hate the guy as much as the next person, but Lane Kiffin and company are a prime example. He had us competing in every game, even though we got our butts handed to us by Ole Miss, but other than that we looked solid with Crompdaddy taking snaps.

I'll agree, lots of times the directions people give you out here are confusing. Some of the problem is the terrain, with the mountains and crooked roads giving East, West, North, South directions just doesn't work because people can't tell which directions is which. Typically, people give instructions like, "go to the second intersection make a right, follow the road a mile, take the second left after the Chevron..........." etc. Some of the problem, is also that things grow so fast out here that signs can become blocked in a matter of months and a "landmark" may not be visible in June when it was completely visible in April. So I do agree about the directions given out here.
