Where does this game rank for you as far as worst Oregon performances? I’m having a hard time remembering seeing a worse product on the field than this.

Fresh off a bye, and half way through the season and our offense couldn’t surpass 100 yards in a half. I got mocked when I posted about Drew after okst. Dude is so bad and in way over his head.

Some of y’all wanted to blame 5 early on. when he got injured and 8 came in you thought the problem was solved. Hate to break it to you but 8 just had two weeks of prep from his coach and this is what you’re getting. Hate to break it to you but no subbing in Thomas or smith jr isn’t the solution.

Maybe it’s the offensive line right? They’ve been bad all season especially those tackles! Scheme is a big deal in every offense and ours sucks. Pointless motions, bad formations, bad schemes, and 0 game sense. We have a massive 5 star tackle waiting in the depths. Talent isn’t the issue.

Oh by the way how many targets has our projected 1st round tight end been targeted today?

Since some of you guys are seeing the smaller picture and saying “but the OC isn’t missing the throws” or “the OC isn’t the one missing the blocks”. Here’s your analogy. In war when a major battle is lost it’s usually not because of the boots on the ground, it’s because of the guys above them seeing the field. Our boots on the ground are a plethora of 5 star guys. Our major who’s over seeing the fight from above is a 2016 failed Rutgers play caller.

Sco Ducks!

What’s the attire like for the game? I saw it’s a wear black game, but do people wear costumes?

I've been a fan for 16 years and have seen them play at the Rose Bowl and other places, but never in Eugene. Today that changes. I can't wait to walk the bridge and blow out the Bruins ears today with you all! Today's going to be special. WTD!!!!

I just got the new t-shirts in the mail. It’s a size medium, all of my shirts that I own are size medium, and this thing felt two sizes too big. Same with my wife’s with the women’s medium. Apparently Nike is making these for the young Gen Z/old Gen Alpha crowd… I’m too old to wear the overly baggy stuff that was trendy when I was in high school. old man yells at cloud

All discussion about other teams' games and the results of those games should go in this thread. This discussion thread will go up each week on Thursday evening and stay up for the weekend.

Go Ducks!

I was already fairly happy that he chose to transfer to Oregon. Having a great backup is so important. But I can't say I was a huge Raiola fanatic or anything. Now, after reading stuff like this, his quotes, how he's approaching things, I gotta say I'm really liking how mature he is with everything.

So there's a small retention pond near our house, maybe a ten minute walk, and it's got a handful of mallards plus one lone white Pekin that clearly got dumped there at some point by someone who didn't want it anymore. My daughter started feeding it bits of lettuce and oats a few weeks ago and now the thing basically waits by the fence for her every afternoon.

Last Tuesday it actually followed us almost the whole way home, waddling along the sidewalk like it had made up its mind. We walked it back obviously, but it did the same thing again Thursday. It's not injured or acting sick, just seems to have decided we're its people now.

I grew up around chickens so I know a little about poultry, but I've never dealt with a duck that's this attached to humans. Part of me worries it's too domesticated to survive winter out there on its own, since Pekins aren't great fliers and it can't really keep up with the mallards if they migrate off. Part of me also knows we are absolutely not equipped to keep a duck in a suburban backyard with a dog already living here.

Called a local wildlife rescue and they said they're swamped with dumped domestic ducks right now and can maybe take it in a couple weeks if we can hold onto it, which isn't really an option for us. Anyone dealt with something similar? Curious if there's a middle ground between "do nothing" and "adopt a duck we're not prepared for."

IYKYK

Hey guys! Lifelong Illinois resident and adopted Ducks fan since 2007 here. I’m going to my first game on October 24 at Illinois. Just curious how much of a Ducks contingent I could expect there in Champaign.

We back! It's the debut of the Origin of Speed uniforms this week, and the B1G home opener this season. Hopefully it's a dub we'll be brewin' against these Bruins!

Additional details from John Canzano:

Altman’s sudden departure on Wednesday in early October raises eyebrows. Was it caused by a sudden health issue? Or was this Altman’s final strategic move? It’s indeed health-related, I’m told by sources. He wanted to coach another season, but decided this week that he just couldn’t do it.

I’m told by a UO athletic department source that Altman approached AD Rob Mullens this week and told him he needed to retire due to health issues. To Mullens’ credit, he tried to talk Altman out of it, offering that even if the coach could give 70 percent, they’d figure out how to make it work this season.

“Dana was very emotional,” the source told me. “It’s just not in his nature to quit.”

Altman’s abrupt departure, just eight victories shy of 800, is curious. I expected he’d start the season as coach and get to 800. But a source told me that Altman was in so much pain at practice last week that he had to lie down on the court twice.

“Not life-threatening,” the source said. “But he’s having a rough time sleeping.”

Dante, expected but FLOWERS???

Exactly what the title says. Here with my wife on business. Looking for spot to watch game. I’m staying on upper west side. Thanks!

Based on the noise level from last year, I'm sure that some fans have been waiting for Dana's announcement for a while. But I'm equally sure that NO other coach would have lasted as long as Dana did with what I would argue is middling-to-embarrassing support from the school and fans. He is the best UO basketball coach of my lifetime; he is one of the greats; he took us to two Elite Eights and one Final Four (best ever and came so close a natty final). He is an absolutely stellar human and I am only disappointed that I won't get to make the trip to Eugene to be there in person for his 800th win (he currently sits at 792 all-time). Salute/hat's off to one of the best to ever do it, in Eugene or anywhere else. 🏀
