    Is Dante Moore going to discourage A Smith jr from signing with Ducks?

    I don’t think so. Dante will probably sit next year. Smith comes in for 2025 and will probably sit during Dante’s year and then it’s possible Dante goes pro after 2025.

    Hahaha... I'd think you're joking, but we've seen how fans can greatly overreact to a win or a loss, so I can believe someone said it.

    As long as rival fans are saying Oregon is just getting guys because they dropped their bag and have cool uniforms, I know things are going right. I dislike that the scenario of losing to Washington hurt the brand can even be said. I'm tired of losing to them already!

    I agree!

    I actually think there is less than a 50/50 chance Moore redshirts next year. If Moore plays great in 2025 he'll be eligible for the next draft.

    If Smith's expectation was to come to Oregon and start in 2025, then he was likely to always flip somewhere else. I can't see Oregon starting a true freshman to begin a season, for the same reasons we saw with Moore at UCLA,

    I certainly didn’t get that right.
    Big Ducks to you!

    Bro I’m Oregon. Not just Beaver. I back them all.
    Still don’t like the Liberty Bowl.

    Bo was extremely durable. Hard to believe that we go another year without an injury to our starting QB. Two QBs will be needed for a tough 13-game season next year.

    Green off the board. To Missouri as anticipated.

    I went a little (maybe a lot) hot take pissed off about the bowl selection committees choice for the Ducks. People on here suspected I was trolling though really not and honestly more upset about the choice.
    In the end the Brand as I was told is winning over.

    All good... Those Washington losses were gut punches and being frustrated could easily roll over into things like the Fiesta Bowl selection.

    At least at wasn't the actual Liberty Bowl!

    I’ve just been calling it the Liberty Bowl.
    Not sure Liberty University will be much of a game but on the other side of that I can be happy they are getting some exposure for having a great season.

    I hope it's not close...

    Having said that, G5 teams have been competitive in the majority of the NY6 bowl games they've played, while no loser in the P12 championship game has ever won their bowl game.

    I watched Montana and North Dakota play the other day. Those are some good teams. They might give a few teams in the top 25 a run.

    I'd say Liberty is better than both, but I agree those are two well coached, hard-nosed teams.

    That was the FCS championship I believe? It's Division 1 but I agree might not hold up to Liberty?
    Not sure Conference USA has much more talent than Big Sky Conference in most years?
