    Dis the Ducks

    Thanks for having us! Congrats on the win. I can’t be too upset, your players brought the fire and your coaches brought a solid game plan while ours didn’t do either. The more deserving team definitely won, and I’ve only had to admit that three or so times during Cristobal’s three years as head...

    Dis the Ducks

    Came by to congratulate you Cyclone fans. Congrats on the NY6 win, and I’ll be keeping an eye on ISU - hoping for beat downs of Oklahoma, if you can provide some. I saw the things I pretty much expected to, a well coached team that doesn’t make too many mistakes - and that will win almost...

    Good article on the Fiesta Bowl

    Tennessee was a borderline blue blood before the last decade, so they could be up a tier. But 9 losing seasons since 2005... Just woof. That’s like the rest of the teams in the top three tiers combined, if not more, during that time span.

    Good article on the Fiesta Bowl

    That’s exactly what it is - the insane amount of talent in Florida and the surrounding states, and then you add a coach like Schnellenberger, Bowden, or Spurrier and watch it take off. The cheating didn’t hurt either, from money to other things. Bobby Bowden had no moral qualms with having some...

    Good article on the Fiesta Bowl

    I generally subscribe to the tighter definition of blue bloods. Top-10 in winning percentage a must, so you basically can’t become one anytime soon if you weren’t already at that status. You can be demoted to former blue blood and come back if you get elite again. Blue bloods: Alabama, USC...

    Good article on the Fiesta Bowl

    I didn’t take it as anything negative, quite the opposite. We still have that chip on our shoulder well, two Chips on the shoulder, to try to get to that lofty status. The Fiesta Bowl is a big deal to us as well, and it’s been fun to have a brand new opponent. Particularly one that will test...

    Good article on the Fiesta Bowl

    This is true, no Oregon fan would ever call ourselves a blue blood. I’m not sure why the article chose to say “since 1998” when our usual starting date to make ourselves seem impressive is 1994, or 2000. Making the 95 Rose Bowl and 96 Cotton Bowl is where it really started. 8th best winning...

    Dis the Ducks

    I hope you’re right, but I doubt that all of the listed guys will play. The RT would be the most important, he can be a monster in the run game and I’m worried about ISU’s good edge rushers. CJ Verdell, the main RB, is always hurt or doubtful and not nearly as consistent as Breece Hall. He and...

    Dis the Ducks

    I’m not sure where the other dude got losing money for this game, the travel expenses and so forth are reimbursed. The only way to lose money is when a team doesn’t sell their allotted bowl tickets. This game is worth $66 million to the Pac-12 as their automatic NY6 game, and an additional $4...

    Dis the Ducks

    If you live in Portland then you understand that this hasn’t been a normal football season on the West Coast. I’ve been excited to watch and rewatch every Ducks game, but it hasn’t felt normal and the CFB season in whole has felt contrived. Like a rip off with an asterisk. I’m sorry we...

    Dis the Ducks

    After this game I will be wishing Iowa State all the best, both on the field and in the living rooms of talented teenage boys. I’ll leave the topic alone, I’m being annoying. But for a Parthian shot I’d like to point out that Breece Hall is responsible for a lot of those awards and honors, and...

    Dis the Ducks

    This is exactly what Oregon fans used to say, and we even had the occasional 5-star and a handful of 4-star recruits every year. “Our three stars with the scouting and development of our coaches is just as good.” The we became consistent contenders and realized that wasn’t true. Studies have...
