Happy End of Old Year!
I'm really looking forward to Saturday. Although I have no expectation for an Oregon win, (I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I think ISU is the better team. Oregon isn't a team; they're still just a collection of football players) I don't care. Watching the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday will bring some small semblance of normality to an other crazy ten months. I'm just gonna enjoy those few hours, and hope I don't have to turn it off.
O.K. Now I'll start bringing the trash.

I didn't think it was possible but, the bulk of these duck fans other than @bisonduck have a football IQ below your typical tavernhawk.
You aren’t being annoying. Love the good natured bantering.
Honestly I'm getting more and more disappointed we ended up with Oregon as an opponent. It doesn't sound like your team wants to be there. I wish you'd all have declined the bowl invite so we could get a team that didn't have all of the opt outs and built in excuses. It's a no win situation I guess, Iowa State wins and it was opt outs, Iowa State loses and well, we lost.
I live in Portland too, so I was mildly excited to begin.
LMAO. Riiight.
The opt outs were prior to the start of the season when the Pac canceled the season.. I’m not sure where you are getting the impression that these players don’t want to be there. Weird assumption.
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 disappointed you. Our guys didn’t envision ending their season with an opponent like Iowa State, but they’re not quitting just because they didn’t get a marquee opponent. I have no idea what the game will be like, but I’m sure it will be worth a watch.
I think this was proven this year. How many b10 and sec records look like @#$& due to playing conference games only.
I'm not sure I can give you a good summary as I have been in/out of this thread. It started out amicably (still is I think, had a short light punching session half-way thru, ended quickly). Ducks fans have been good, largely respectful, and show a good deal of football knowledge. They've been good to have around, this being the what 45th page so far.
Again about half-way thru some including the OP thought maybe we were being too nice to each other (??), and changed the thread title from Discuss the Ducks to Dis the ducks. Still amicable though.
Some of the toughies on both sides will likely ruffle feathers (no pun intended) a little more as game time is now close at hand.
Personally I'm impressed by many Cyclone fans that/who have greater knowledge than I and share Cyclone history and current team with opposing fans, and vice versa.
Still duck season. Happy New Year all!
Go Cyclones.

The payout is the same for both teams.
Here is a good article discussing bowl revenue.
College Football Playoff Payout May Drop 10-15% With Attendance in Doubt
The College Football Playoff payout, typically around $500 million, could drop 10-15% this season, per executive director Bill Hancock.

Maybe they should do something like that in attempt to keep players from opting out.
Winning team gets more money or some sort of other incentive for players.
Multiple Ducks are a game-time decision vs Iowa State
Oregon could get multiple starters healthy for the game against Iowa State on Saturday.

OSU had Sanders, Hubbard and Wallace hurt down the stretch. For the bowl game, Hubbard had opted out, Wallace opted out at halftime and Sanders still not 100%.
