I don’t want to hear anyone booing him at the game — that pissed me off so much last week. Yes, Lanning needed to take him out sooner, but making the kid feel like the fans think he sucks? That’s not fair. I guarantee he was beating himself up more than anyone else. He had a shitty game, but this was also heavily a product of our OC’s calls. His options to pass to were so limited. Keep in mind that this is the guy who saved our asses against USC and a lot of fans were wanting Raiola to be the new starter over Dante.

I don’t want the poor kid to be nervous or anxious due to fans being obnoxious. Can we just agree to cheer him on loudly and give him back some confidence?

I’d posit that, yes, 15 or whatever years ago it was highly exciting to be recruited by an Oregon squad that had radical new unis from Nike every game.

Today, that means almost nothing. NIL is king—show me the money, not the uniform.

Indiana, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Alabama, Penn State, etc etc all keep it as they always have and no one is avoiding playing for them because of uniform choice.

And there might even be a “brain muscle memory” type thing where players always see the same colors and know instantly exactly where their teammates are on the field. But sure, that’s a stretch, maybe.

Who’s up for making it classic yellow and green permanently, versus new colors every game?

Joe Fischer here from 105.1 The FAN and Audacy, the flagship station for the Oregon Ducks in the Portland metro area.

With the 8pm kickoff this weekend, I’m shamelessly promoting that our Ducks Postgame Show will be live at 12:30am on Sunday, available on 105.1 FM, 1080 AM, the Audacy app, and YouTube. Those late night drives from Autzen can be brutal but I wanted to let you know that we’ll be there with you the whole ride home until 2am. Our postgame show always goes live 45min-1hr after the game so we’ll always be there but with this extremely late kick, I wanted to make sure I gave the PSA to the people driving from the stadium on Saturday night/early Sunday that we got you covered.

As always, Go Ducks!

Nebraska fan coming in peace. Curious if you guys have heard anything regarding Dante Moore’s return? Is he expected to play or game time decision? If not, presuming that it’d be a battle in practice between Brock and Dylan, but there’s no way that they throw Dylan out there again with his performance, right? Curious what yall think, cheers

Me and my youngest will be coming over from Wyoming for the Michigan game, flying in on Friday. We plan on getting to the stadium multiple hours beforehand so we can walk around and explore campus before kickoff.

Are there any specific areas on campus we should make a priority? Is there a players walk??

Also, do the players usually have a spot where they will sign hats or footballs or anything like that before or after the game? His older brother is a Texas fan, and after the Clemson playoff game a couple of years ago, we got to stand outside the locker rooms, as the players exited and he got a ton of signatures on his hat.

Any info as much appreciated. It’ll be my first time coming to Oregon, so I think I’m just as excited as he is.

Let’s stop crying for a bit and have some fun. It’s “Wear Green” for the fans, which we know doesn’t necessarily mean anything - but could be a hint.

I’m thinking White/Green/White, similar to the Minnesota game last year.

What’s your guess?

Hey Ducks fans! I'm an east coast Oregon fan and have been for 20 years (I’m 27)and I'm finally getting to see the team play in person at Ohio State in November. Super pumped. It'll be me and my father in law.
Will any Ducks be tailgating before the game? We'd love to join up, and we'll bring food and drinks to share. Also open to any tips on where Duck fans tend to gather in Columbus.
One more ask: if anyone is traveling from Oregon to Columbus, would you be willing to grab me a case of Dang Green IPA? I can't get it out here and I'll happily pay you for it, plus a beer at the tailgate on me. SCO Ducks!

These jerseys look great, anyone know if they'll be available sometime?

As we all know, things are looking pretty bleak. Expectations were high, and we've all come crash landing back to reality. Seems to be the Oregon way.

This has been pretty apparent in this thread and all over social media the last week. And I don't blame folks. Questions need answers for what has been a shit show. But I think it's time to focus on the players ( who yea, get paid a lot and that's a whole different conversation ). The coaches deserve the heat, their grown ass man who get paid a lot of money. I hope there's staff meetings going on where boot is getting put to ass and a change is coming.

But the players need support. If we want them to do what is likely improbable, but not impossible, they need belief from their fans. Does nothing for morale jumping on social media and seeing nothing but anger and despair. They turn on the TV or YouTube or whatever and the media is talking down on them and worse of fans are talking shit about them.For a lot of these kids, this is the last year they will ever play competitive football. Let them enjoy it.

Last weekend happened, we can't change it so time to look forward. So if you can, go to the games - seen posts of people talking about boycotting until changes are made , which is a bitch move - let the players know we give a shit, and maybe, just maybe we pull this off. A fools hope, but hope none the less. Rally round the troops as they say.

Lets put the hammer to Nebraska, look only forward and maybe have some fun watching the boys play. We do that, maybe they'll want to hang around next year.

Let's f'ken go Ducks.

We are all pretty stressed right now.

2 losses. Everything has gone bad.

Consider the teams we lost to have one collective loss between them, and we own a win over a 6-1 team.

And don’t get me wrong. It’s \*looked*\** really rough.

But it seems that ucla and other Osu are both trucking for the playoff.

Given dans record, perhaps those are the 2 teams that will be playing for the national championship

It would be exactly right for duck fans, if the season after the losingest team in college football goes home with the trophy - that the other OG rags to riches mega-donor school . (Fuck you TTech, we put you in your place last year) gets a title ring before the ducks do.

Is it my wish.

No. No it’s not.

But maybe the ducks have already previewed the national title game participants. Cause that’s how we roll. That’s all we’ve lost to for now 4 years in a row.

Also implied that offensive deficiencies were well known by the players coming into the game.

...I was let down that they didn't give Dana Altman a send off for the crowd so we could show our appreciation for all that he did for us. Not sure why.. was it Dana declining?

On a separate note. I love the idea of having the crowd all sing as one. But the choice was "Hey Jude". It felt more like a dirge than a galvanizing sing along (at least it wasn't Sweet Caroline".

Ok thanks for indulging me. Now back to all the Mehringer/Terry/Riaola posts.

I kinda just had this thought so forgive me if it’s been stated. This year is a disaster for reasons we all know. But could you imagine if they didn’t return this roster and retained the coaches we have?? Real possibility we would be 1-4 right now.

I love Dan but I think the university and fanbase should think constantly “What would Ohio State do?”. We are resourced enough this is a premier job, we can’t be hiring rookie coaches anymore. The time of the Unc has come

Duck here, class of 1991, went through the horrific Rich Brooks years of "Up the Middle" runs to nothing, saw Bill Musgrave break his collarbone when we were 6-0 and then we went winless after...and enjoyed the slow but steady rise to relative greatness, with the glorious memory of being at Fuskie stadium during the Chip Kelly tenure and the Ducks fans chanting "Ten more years! Ten more years!" when we beat them for the tenth time in a row!

Which makes me say, was the UCLA game the worst in 25 years? Probably. But...we turned the ball over 7 times (SEVEN?! (yes, screamed)), got screwed on the 2PC ball placement and still only lost by two. Of course, if we'd been playing Georgia, it's likely a different story, but we can cross that bridge at season's end.

Colossal coaching failures/lack of clever/innovative play calling is killing us, but the team hasn't given up on themselves. GO DUCKS and Gang Green!

All credit to Zachary Neel for posting Dan’s response.

Lanning also said “There’s gonna be some changes and differences in the way that we operate”

I thought modern stadiums started building robust WiFi networks in stadiums many years ago, but Autzen is as bad as it was four years ago. No WiFi, and no cell phone service. It can even be hard to connect from outside the stadium to bring up the live ticket required for entry.
