Run it Back is a weekly sampling of thoughts following the previous game. The “facts” presented are factual because the blog says so. Oregon is better at receiver than we realized. The passing game is much improved with Darron Thomas at quarterback. Before, wide receivers always looked like better blockers than playmakers, but look what’s [...]
SearchBag: Blackout, Yellowout? Who Knows. Plus, Who Wins the Nature Battle Between a Duck and a Beaver?
SearchBag is back and the searches/answers are as meaningless as ever. It’s something to strive for.
Link Roundup: It’s All About the Ducks
These links is all Duck today! I’m digging deep celebrating the greatness of Oregon football. And without the services of down-and-out DuckSportsNow.com, it’s tough work. But I’m here to help.
Prodigious Pac-10 Picks – Week 5
Whew, that felt better. Missed only UCLA-Texas straight up and Oregon-Arizona State against the spread last week. That made for a cool 5-1 in both cases with only a measly half a point keeping me from perfection (ATS). Dammit Chip, you gotta’ get these guys scoring in the fourth quarter! On the Season Straight Up: [...]
Link Roundup: Big Game, Big Links
A big game deserves big links. Here’s a national media edition of Link Roundup.
UnRich, UnCool and Un4-0
The SI cover curse is still doing its thing. In 2003, Sports Illustrated declared Oregon to be “Rich, Cool and 4-0″ after a win over Michigan. Since that issue, the Ducks have gone a combined 0-3 after starting the season undefeated in its first four games. The last time Oregon made it to 5-0 was [...]
Some New Blog Promises
In light of the events occurring around midday on November 7, the blog is making some new promises. Can they be kept? Probably not, but I’ll try for at least a day. This blog will… …Never again question the enlightened wisdom of San Jose Mercury News columnist Jon Wilner. He may be a traffic-baiting, uh, [...]
On Location From San Jose…Wait, That's Not "On Location." Okay, try again…Within the General Proximity of Palo Alto, the Blog Foresees More Duck Dominance
Week 10 Predictions PreNicktion: Oregon 43, Stanford 21. Been way off on margin of victory lately. Going big this week. FOTB Prediction: Green helmet, white jersey with green numbers, green pants, white shoes. You can simulate this combination here. This week’s prediction post takes on a different approach after having read Jon Wilner of the [...]
Hair of the Dog Needs to be the Stanford Cardinal
Sometimes, blogs get hangovers too, so if it seems the place is a bit dead, just know it’s refocusing and getting back up for another round. Hopefully, so too will the Oregon Ducks football team. Eugene was some kind of utopia on Saturday and given how early many got started with ESPN’s College GameDay, there [...]
Five games remain, this is what will happen
I’m really smart and to prove it, here’s exactly what will happen in Oregon’s remaining five games. There’s no reason to doubt me – everything below is future fact. 10/25 – Oregon @ Arizona State Both teams get two weeks to prepare. The Sun Devils have lost four in a row and look like a [...]
