    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Naw.... He's already funding Stanford a bit. Sort of like to keep him happy at Oregon. He's done a great job of helping the U of O.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I've always been a fan of Justin Wilcox, local guy played for the Ducks, his dad was a Duck. He's a very under rated coach in my opinion. His biggest handicap is Cal.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    What ever the reason, Duck fans were very thankful that he came to Eugene. I'm sure it was disappointing for Gopher fans.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I wasn't offended by the 20 points, I was just trying to clarify that the QBs aren't "fresh out of high school" as was implied. Perhaps I misunderstood.

    Well it's just a case of a University of Oregon student athlete giving back to the university where he competed. It's not just athletics, it's the Knight Library, the Knight Law School, the Jaqua Center for student athlete academics, the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific...

    I'm not on a "first name" basis with both of them, I'm just a typical Duck fan. We're definitely looking forward to Minnesota coming to Eugene. Friday night in Eugene will be interesting.

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I certainly don't know much about how "Bucky" got to Eugene, but one local story was that he wanted to be called "Bucky" and something about that school in Madison kept Minnesota from calling him "Bucky". It's a simple thing but we heard it was a factor. If you're coming to Eugene for the game...

    Oregon does have a couple more QBs in the room. One with some name recognition is Akili Smith Jr. Four Star and son of Akili Smith (former Duck and NFL QB)

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    I'm going to assume that was meant as sarcasm. Neither one of them are straight out of high school. Dante Moore started for UCLA under Chip Kelly in 2023, he spent 2024 learning as a back up to Dillon Gabriel at Oregon. Autstin Novostad, has spent one year as a back up to Bo Nix and one year as...

    10-2 - tell me I’m wrong

    Oregon has two QBs, 5 star Dante Moore (probable starter) and 4 star Austin Novostad. Both have a ton of upside.

    All Things Minnesota at Oregon Road Game Thread

    As for "bar scene" near the stadium, the Moshofsky Center (indoor practice facility at West end of Autzen) is basically a giant sports bar during games. At the East end of Autzen PK Park (baseball stadium) serves as an outdoor beer garden (not sure how good that would be on a Friday night in...

    Which road game are you going to?

    Agree not a lot of great hotel options, The Gordon, Fifth Street, Graduate, and Hyatt are probably the best. When going to the game check out the bus shuttle service, it's the best way to get to the games without a lot of parking hassle. While in Eugene, check out the athletic facilities, I've...

    Re-ranking all 18 Big Ten football helmets from worst to first (16. Minnesota Golden Gophers)

    As a Duck, I'm not commenting on any rankings of Duck gear.... Plenty has already been said on that subject. I will say my least favorite Big 10 helmet is the Nebraska block N helmet, it's just boring. I also think some of this is based on success or tradition at various schools. I sort of like...

    Gophers 2025 Schedule Announced - how many wins do you predict?

    Near Eugene, I've got a couple that produce some really nice wines, plus one that locals love for the environment (King Estates). Yea, good wines, a bit high priced in my opinion, but a wonderful setting and the food was decent. As for food in Eugene, we have some pretty good restaurants, but...

    Gophers 2025 Schedule Announced - how many wins do you predict?

    Yea, both are beautiful. I rowed my own 14 foot selfbailer raft for around 30 years, built my own flyrods, tied my own flies. Spent most of my time on the McKenzie River and the North Umpqua. I've also done a bit of camping, hiking, snowshoeing, etc.

    Gophers 2025 Schedule Announced - how many wins do you predict?

    Also, check out the "park and ride" services for getting to Autzen. In my opinion, it's much better than trying to get into a parking lot near the stadium, plus it's cheaper. For Creswell and Springfield, the bus terminal on A street in Springfield is probably your best "park and ride" location...

    Gophers 2025 Schedule Announced - how many wins do you predict?

    Naw, it's just the regular football crowd coming to town. When you get to Eugene, check out the Lane County farmers market as well as the Saturday Market, it' will give you a bit of feel for the Eugene. Plus, be sure and take a look at the various athletic facilities, The MATT, Hayward Field...

    Gophers 2025 Schedule Announced - how many wins do you predict?

    Weather Nov 15 should be around low 50s during the day and around high 30s at night. Creswell has a very nice golf course, Emerald Valley (home of the Ducks golf team) nice practice facility for the Ducks across from the public driving range. Also, check out the Creswell Bakery, they have a very...
