Week 1 Recap

Week 1 Recap?

I’ll be damned. Only Oregon and Georgia played week 1.

Let's see. Oregon State is the same old Oregon State as the last couple years. Vanilla offense, struggled vs a washed up Boise St. team/program these days.

Washington State was in a dogfight vs Idaho

Your pups played some Kent State team and didn't look amazing. Maybe you guys look better with your upcoming week 2 opponent Portland State. I'd say grow a pair and schedule a real non-conference game, but after last years Montana debacle I understand your programs hesitation to do that.

They play Michigan State in week 3 dumb ass.

"ooo, we failed to score or do much of anything on offense, but they couldn't sack us! Win!!!!!"

GTFOH
 
This thread = Win

You are my favorite poster in the CFB thread! Keep it going man.

1. That saying is for teams that lose a really close game in game 1...like Utah, for example. Not for teams that lose 49-3.

2. Those weren't raisins in your brownies, those were rabbit turds.

You have to give it to OD for his spirit though. These homer fans are a treat.

Granted, I would probably be more annoyed if it was a rival fanbase of mine but still, OD makes this forum fun with his insane homer posts.

What makes it so precious, he actually believes it, it's not an act.

I'm a huge fan of OD's threads. They're always fun. They're just more fun when when they blow up on him. lol

When he got banned from the eurohoop, I was a MAJOR voice in getting him reinstated.

For some reason, there are people who read these threads that believe our bashing of him somehow means we want him gone. Nothing could be further from the truth. His only detractors really are other Duck fans that suffer terminal embarrassment from his antics. The rest of us live for following along in his ramblings and failings.

The #11 Oregon Ducks flew across the country, bypassing an entire time zone, and landed in Atlanta, Georgia to take on the #3 defending national champions Georgia Bulldogs in a "neutral site" game. The Ducks entered the game with an entirely new coaching staff, thanks to Mario Cristobal and Co. deciding to leave Eugene basically before last season ended and was tasked with taking on a team their new coach assisted in building. If you take a step back and look at all the variables going on here, this was a recipe that would bake brownies and not a whole cake. Potentially even something like raisin brownies and not chocolate chip brownies. But as any good baker, if you are a team with high expectations and expect the best out of yourself and believe in yourself, you believe you can make a cake.

The Oregon Ducks did not prevail in Week 1. The scoreboard will tell that story. But as we all have come to learn, the college football season is not about Week 1. Even in the old BCS era, the saying went, "If you're going to lose, lose early." That still holds true to today, but even more since 4 teams can make the playoffs. The Ducks lost Week 1, but they didn't lose their season.

There is so much to take from this game. So much to learn from and grow from and get better. First, you saw the defending national champions up front and in person, in their own backyard. You won't see another team of that caliber through the rest of the regular season. Second, the offensive line held it's own against the vaunted defense of the Bulldogs, protecting Nix and not allowing a tackled sack all game. Oregon's offense was able to move the ball fairly well against Georgia, only to end drives with a self inflicted turnover or simply coming up a few yards short of the first down and deciding to punt. There were times the Ducks offense even made Georgia's defense look confused and unbalanced. There were even times when the Duck offense and players looked faster and better conditioned then Georgia's defense.

Ducks were tasked with going into Georgia's backyard all while trying to learn a new system on both offense and defense. They were tasked with trying to bake a cake with a recipe that only accounted for a batch of brownies. But the great thing about the college football season is there are many more weeks, it has become a marathon and not a sprint. Plenty of time for the Ducks to take their collective ingredients and figure out how to make a cake instead of just brownies. And plenty of time to get the chocolate chips and not having to use raisins.

The season is just starting. The Oregon Ducks went into Atlanta and played in a game that provided them with great learning experience as they got to know their new coaches. The Ducks learned in Week 1. They'll grow from Week 1. Put a Georgia poster up in the locker room and be determined to see them again this year. Let's get this!

Did they ever find the missing band members?

He’s a most bizarre straight man setting up the jokes.

I think that is why people are leaving that forum. I think that I am banned for something stupid as well. What is funny is that I didn't get banned until I came over here and stopped posting there.

You and I watched different games if you think there there was any time you had better players than us. Just one video:

Just watch our receivers abuse your DBs and LBs … this went on all night all over the field:

The only thing that would have been better would have Georgia traveling west and winning by the same score.

Yeah, not sure what the excuses would be if UGA went into Oregon and railed em like that.

The Ducks saw their national title hopes dashed in the 49-3 loss to No. 3 Georgia in Atlanta. Sure, it's only one loss, but a blowout loss like that as a member of the Pac-12 means that the college football world would have to implode for Dan Lanning's crew to even be in the discussion.

This was a write up about the 1st week game. The analysts don't seem to agree with your first week thoughts. Maybe if Oregon has scored a touchdown, they'd feel different. :)
