Sorry to see your Ducks get roasted yesterday......they really had a tough 1st half but looked much better in the 2nd

I didn't expect them to win but they played a decent game against another team going through the same kind of coaching changes and and other player changes.

Next years looking pretty good. They have all the pieces. They just have to make them fit. I'm really impressed with the way the new coach Lanning has gotten most players amped up and wanting to stay. A few losses but nothing significant. There's still a ton of players that want to come to Oregon.

They have made some decent hires for coaching staff. And they got a decent quarterback in Bo Nix who transferred from Auburn so if he makes the cut he's got the opportunity to shine out west. He still has to earn the starting position though.

I see Oregon being a better program next year. I see Cristobal having the same fate as Taggart did after breaking his contract and going back to Florida to be some hometown hero wizard. The fans have no patience. Willie Taggart found that out. I bet he still wishes he had his gig here in Oregon. Well maybe not. These guys have all made tens of millions so they probably don't care.

Anyway, expect Oregon to be a contender next year. And enjoy the games. :)

That had to be one of the best days in Stoops career.... no pressure, and $350K to coach one game. His son made a touchdown, and now he can go back to that 18th hole where he got the call to step up. Good game. Good on the Ducks for that 2nd half effort.

It was a good game and I don't think anyone thought Oregon was going to win. Most of their defensive starters didn't even play and they have some good ones. Lots of players entered the NFL draft and didn't want to risk getting injured.

Kayvon Thibodeaux didn't play and is focused on the draft. Others as well.

Oklahoma is going through it's own growing pains.

Overall it was a good game. You could see players from the opposing teams patting each other on the back after plays. They were out there to have fun more than it meant anything. That's probably why the Ducks did better than expected. They weren't under any pressure to make it to the NC.

These football programs and the pressure they bring to the players has to be a heavy burden on the players. Any mistake is amplified online in social media and these guys read the comment sections and forums.

The 2021 Alamo Bowl can go down in history as a Damn Good Football Game. That's all that matters.

Uh oh, Alabama just ran the ball down Cincinnati’s throat with impunity the whole opening drive. We will see how the Bearcats offense responds but not an auspicious start for them.

We dumped cable but added YouTube TV a couple years ago. Was really sweating a couple of weeks ago when google and Disney were in a standoff and we lost ESPN, Disney and ABC for about 24 hours. You gonna listen of the radio?

I was at that game, knew it was a mistake then. We've been in a tailspin ever since. They damn near burned Knoxville down when Kiffin left, and every other coach has been a used car salesman.
