I totally forgot. It feels like it has been 10 years since the start of the season. But didn’t they say it could be years before they play us again?
the two schools scheduled the home & home when the bruises of departure were still fresh. I think Oregon was operating on some sympathy as well as some guilt at OSU's predicament but I've been told that if the agreement for the home & home hadn't been in place prior to that emergency session in front of the legislature, the Ducks would have never agreed to the two games. The behavior of the OSU president and AD in that session royally pissed off Oregon and Phil Knight
apparently, Tez announced on Instagram that he's 'back!' That would be great news for the Ducks the On3 moderator said he believes that Jordan Burch, Ja'maree Caldwell, and Marcus Harper will all be 'good to go' against the Huskies. And that Jordan James is alright but can really use the 2 week break
Oh, shit. In the 70s, the Beavers always had some of the toughest schedules in the country. They'd go anywhere for a big payday. They needed the money. They were fodder for other teams to pad their records. As a result, they lost. A lot. Which meant they couldn't recruit. Which meant they lost. A lot. It was miserable. The Ducks were also terrible. Which for me just doubled the pain.
Just like that game at Arizona State! I can't remember the details. Joey Harrington was QB? The student section was chanting Over-rated! Over-rated! Then this happened. LOL. (Cued up to 0:59) Oregon won the game in double OT, 56-55. October 28, 2000.
Is this old news? The Ducks are in the B1g championship game. The top-ranked Oregon Ducks have clinched a spot in the Big Ten championship game.

Who bought up all the tickets already? Not that I want to pay $600 anyway. https://www.ticketmaster.com/2024-discover-big-ten-football-championship-indianapolis-indiana-12-07-2024/event/0500612D96E62B62?landing=c&awtrc=true&c=SEM_TMNCAA_ggl_1640939426_147811303372_big 10 football championship tickets&GCID=0&&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi_G5BhDXARIsAN5SX7oodZTEVU1-pV-U32HEhN4SwSohDMtvkinFpjkcGQNCDomtmJee9u8aAhvgEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Oh man.... Keith Jackson yelling "fumble" is so awesome. Also, it's so weird seeing the massive shoulder pads again.
Wonder how the coaching staff feels about the UW game. If they're in the B1G title game regardless, are they going to go all-out to remain undefeated? Obviously the fan base cares much more about the rivalry than the coaching staff does. But if resting players vs UW improves our chances at a playoff bye and a title run, is it worth it?
If we lose to UW for the 4th straight time under Lanning, even winning the national championship won't feel as prestigious.
I would hope that he wants that...but is it really the same, beating a 6-5 team led by a completely different coaching staff?
