This thread is for all things U of Oregon
Go Ducks.




Discuss.

[JTRman87]

All I know is that they have one badass mascot.

'Nuff said.

[tmorry326]

Game tonight against Stanford.


Here's to a sixth straight win in the series, and a 4-0 record.

[tmorry326]

Dixon to Colvin for a 72 yard TD strike.

7-0 Ducks.

[thestand]

Probably just going to be you, me, and Marsh in here, Taylor. :lol

[tmorry326]

Well, let's celebrate!

Stewart 10 yard rush for the TD.

*Edit* Colvin's TD was the first play from scrimmage.

[tmorry326]

Dixon takes it 4 yards himself.

21-3.

Route in progress.

So how's a guy that grew up in Toga and goes to Cortland an Oregon fan? I mean, I'm from Queensbury, but at least I'll be in Eugene next year. :lol

You going to Eugene to live or go to school? If so what are you going for? Or are you super old and I didn't know that...

...and how. I'm not really sure. I've always been drawn to them. I've visited Oregon and skied there and love it. I have some friends out there who are rabid fans and drew me in.

[tmorry326]

But...who gives up 21 points in a quarter? What the shit?

[thestand]

I'll be going for school. Journalism/Communications.

i'm the sports editor at a paper in eureka, just south of the oregon border, and we're looking for a reporter...

plus, then i'd have a fellow ant to talk dave with, and we could drive the whole newsroom mad...

Stanford? Seriously? Bah.

hell yeah, they're fresh off a 37-0 pasting of (wait for it....) San Jose State!

Taylor, if this thread jinxed the Ducks season, I'm kicking your ass.

[tmorry326]

I'm doing Comm at Cortland right now. I'll go somewhere out of state after I do my under grad.

Stanford? Seriously? Bah.

I know, seriously? At least they had the pre-half FG.

Taylor, if this thread jinxed the Ducks season, I'm kicking your ass.

I'm not saying anything to that. The season is the season. 24-31 at the half. We'll go from there.

[thestand]

And we're tied up. Dixon is my homeboy.

[tmorry326]

Dixon is beyond me.

Go Ducks.

Goodnight.

[thestand]

Well, it's nowhere near a done deal, but I feel safe about going to bed up 48-31. Dixon's numbers at the time of my departure-

PASSING:
27/37, 324 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT

RUSHING:

23 yds, 8 rushes, 1 TD

TOTALS:

347 yds, 4 TD

[thestand]

Oh, and you shouldn't have put football in the first post. I think I'm more excited for this basketball season. To see how Kent handles a team without Brooks.

[efraser77]

Oregon 21 3 21 10 - 55
Stanford 3 28 0 0 - 31

Maybe that second quarter is a typo and it was really 80-6?

[gocubsgo3822]

Go ducks.... loved them beating Michigan and loved Onterrio Smith and Harrington... ANd i actually like their jerseys...

They unfortunately are about to pass us....

:( LSU is really good RIP Carolina

[tmorry326]

Oh, and you shouldn't have put football in the first post. I think I'm more excited for this basketball season. To see how Kent handles a team without Brooks.

If any mod's (or admins) want to drop football in the first post for me that'd be great.

Standford falls. 55-31.

Good day for Oregon. 11th in the AP polls, AND...

College Gameday will be at Autzen Stadium this Saturday.

who yall play this week???

[thestand]

who yall play this week???Cal. It's a fairly evenly matched game, to be honest. Especially at home. Both teams are great this year, though. Should be a good game.

[neumdogg]

Cute little thread you have going here. Can't wait to put another digit in your loss column (after you lose to Cal, that is).

FIGHT ON!

[laststraw41]

I remember when they got their new jerseys, I read that it was possible for an incoming freshman to go 4 years and never wear the same jersey combination twice.

Craziness.

Last time Cal won at Autzen- Halloween day, 1987.

For those doing the math at home, that's about a month shy of 20 years.

It's game day. I swear to god if ABC puts on the Maryland v. Rutgers game over Cal v. Oregon I will go on a shooting spree at the TWC offices.

Couple nice ESPN reads for today.

PAC-10 fans and watchers, don't forget today's match-up of USC v. Washington.

USC lost two games last season to unranked PAC-10 teams.

[tmorry326]

Fuck. You. Time. Warner. I don't give two shits about Maryland v. Rutgers. Number 10 v. unranked.

God damn.

[thestand]

Did you see Herbstreet's new top 5 ranking during the USC game? With Ducks at 5? :lol I mean damn, if it happens I'm all for it, but it's a ridiculous thought.

[tmorry326]

Thank you Stanford. Thank you USC. The proverbial PAC-10 door is open.

[thestand]

There's a chance we crack the top 10 on a bye-week. :lol Fingers crossed.

[thestand]

Oh, a nice new cozy subforum home.

[tmorry326]

AP Top 25

9. Oregon
10. USC

:lolz

8th in coaches poll, as well.

[SoRight24]

Where is neumdog when you need him??

:lol

[thestand]

Ha, just noticed something hilarious (well, to me, and I'm easily entertained).

When we played California, we were 11th. We lost, moved down to 14th, but it was a bye week. During the week, lots of big teams lose, and we move up to 9th. But goducks.com doesn't have a slot for the bye week, so all you see is-

Sat, Sep 29 California * Ducks Rank: 11 Opp. Rank 6
Sat, Oct 13 Washington State * Ducks Rank: 9 Opp. Rank -

:lol Like I said, easily entertained.

[thestand]

Just read Chris Fowler (blech)'s "Gut Check Saturday" piece, and Autzen got a big thumbs up.

Oregon has the week off, so the Ducks' check comes Oct. 13. They fell apart after the loss to Cal last season and must conquer their collective heartache over the agonizing climax Saturday. The real test will be a visit to Husky Stadium Oct. 20, the week before the Trojans visit Autzen.

By the way, it can be confirmed again from this "ear witness" that Autzen is in fact among the loudest places in college football, and may be the loudest "per capita" as Lee Corso likes to say. It's just deafening for opposing offenses, on par with The Swamp and Tiger Stadium -- two venues that are almost double Autzen's size.

[thestand]

Just got home to a comfortable 47-0 lead. :lol

[thestand]

Dear Mike Belotti:

Please stop removing Dennis Dixon from the game ridiculously early. I need a reason to watch this game once we're winning by a ton. Brady Leaf is an abortion.

kthxbye,
Ducks fans of antsmarching.org

[tmorry326]

Dear Oregon State,

Thank you for defeating #2 Cal.

P.S. if you see Kentucky tell him thanks for beating LSU.

[thestand]

I wonder if that third QB that Belotti put in is going to be starter next year. He's a freshman, and there is a sophomore QB, but he was in there for one play (1/1 10 yards). He's a big dude, 6'6", 210. I don't really think I want Belotti to go with a QB that isn't mobile. I hope we get to see this guy (Justin Roper) again.

[thestand]

ESPN's quick recap gives me a little chub.

It was over when... Oregon scored 40 points in the first half. Most will argue it was over long before then (even a 17-0 deficit is tough to come back from). But 40 points is the definition of insurmountable.

Gameball goes to... Dennis Dixon. Hello, Heisman race. Dixon has been under the radar, but his 303 total yards, three passing TDs and another rushing score put him on the map.

Stat of the game... 551. Oregon put up some massive yardage -- 551, to be exact -- yet it's just the third-highest total this season for the offensively explosive Ducks.
Hawt.

[thestand]

Fuuuuuuuck, the next game is going to be the first game televised here in forever, and I'm going to be at a Phil Lesh concert. Boo.

[tmorry326]

ESPN's quick recap gives me a little chub.

Way, way hot.

[tmorry326]

Hi.

Thank you UCLA. Thank you. Thank Rutgers too.

258 yards for Stewart today.

I just got really excited for this game.

[dancingnancy415]

I just got really excited for this game.
I think nervous describes my feeling better.

[thestand]

I think nervous describes my feeling better.
Here's how I see it. If we win, which the good money says we do, our future is in our hands. Either National Championship or Rose Bowl. If we lose, than ASU is obviously an extremely good team, and will probably win out. That would put them as a lock for the Championship game (undefeated through the PAC-10 is much better than undefeated in the Big 10 or Big East), and that means we're #2 in the PAC, and it puts us in the Rose Bowl.

Obviously that's a lot of "if"s, but I feel a lot better than I did.

I like what I see from Dixon today.

My wife is openly cheering for aOSU and LSU to win out so we will take a family trip to Disneyland. I'm thinking an all guy trip to New Orleans could be fun. I'm going to be gnawing my fingernails a lot over the next month.

[thestand]

Good day for Oregon. Ohio State loss will most likely pop us up to 2, and in our bball season opener, Hairston, Porter, and Taylor all had 17 pts in our 100-70 win over Pepperdine.

[thestand]

Also, since we're slowly moving out of football season: how freaking weird is it to see "baseball" listed as a sport again on goducks.com? I mean, I personally love it, as baseball is probably my favorite sport. I mean, obviously we'll have to wait for recruiting to start to see how we shape up, but we've got an amazing coach. If you don't know him, read up- http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=94834&SPID=11401&DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=1205425&Q_SEASON=2007

[chr35919]

so dixon is done for the season? ouch.

[tmorry326]

Fuck me.

[thestand]

Well, now it's basketball season. We're 3-0, ranked #13 in the country, with a serious chance in the PAC-10. We also just signed a definite top-10 class for next year, including 4 members of the ESPN top 150.

[thestand]

Oh, and Jonathan Stewart sprained his ankle, but will start next week. Which doesn't really matter, since we'll be losing.

Without him, on a good day, we're #5.

[thestand]

Well, it's not the Ducks, it's the other University of Oregon team; The Men of Oregon. Our cross country team just won the NCAA title.

First time Oregon has been shut out since Sep 28, 1985.

[thestand]

Huge basketball game tomorrow. Our premiere non-conference game at #25 Kansas State. We've only played one game this year in a hostile environment, and we were ripped up by the crowd. Hopefully the seniors can get us through this one.

[thestand]

Oh, and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN2, 9 PM ET.

[thestand]

Already excited for tonight.

[thestand]

Holy shnikeys, what a domination. :lol

[thestand]

Stewart to enter the NFL Draft. :BANG

He was key, in my mind, for us to be good next year. We needed someone to build the team around, a solid senior leader. Now we're probably only going to return 6 offensive starters.

[tmorry326]

Little Leaf ftw.

[VanHorneDog]

well i think ASU would like to repay you guys for the last 3 years. good chance now.

[thestand]

Stupid mistakes are going to make us lose this game. :BANG

[thestand]

We suck. Hardcore. :lol

But I am getting really really excited about baseball. The team will have their first season in 27 years in spring 2009, my first year there. When I heard they were bringing back the team, I kind of had that "Bad News Bears" image in my head, that for the first few years the program would absolutely suck. But after looking into this... jesus, we might be good.
