My condolences LADuck

You saw this coming.  The ducks have a very good team but were just outcoached just like the other 14 opponents Indiana played this past season.  I feel for that fine LB #28, he played his heart out.

[Butkus51]

La Duck & Sawtooth-24, Eh sorry about the loss last night, your team played well, but 3 TO’s really hurt the team.  Like I always write and state, game point results are deceiving; the 3 TO’s = 21 cheap points for Indy.  I feel the real score = 35-22 Indy, (NOT 56-22).  Other than the 3 TO’s, your boys played well.  But, the 5 passing TD’s by QB Mendoza, I think 3 TD’s were blown coverage by your 2ndary.

You know the CFP is a very tough tournament, probably the toughest in all of college sports.  Maybe the Texas Tech game took a lot wind out of the team, shoot Oregon played a perfect game.  Hell dat TT game was very physical.  Also, you guys needed to win 4 games, back to back weeks to win the NC.  This 12 team CFP format is too much FB; I think 8 team CFP is more reasonable.

Plus not having your 3 top RB’s surely hurt.  But, I thought your 2 reserve RB’s did good and OL opened up holes.  The shaky positions were QB D. Moore and his 3 TO’s which were Big TO’s, other he passed well.  The other position, was your DB’s allowing 5 passing TD’s by Mendoza.

I did not address Tee, because I’m tired of his stupid takes about your team and other subjects (like American tennis).  Nothing he says is correct or uplifting; I never met a more downer person if all my life.  He would make a bad Coach.  I can’t imagine how his wife and children put up with his outlook about life.  Man, dat dude must chill or he is gonna get a heart attack…

Anyway, cheer up guys your team had a very good 2025 season and went far (Semi’s or Final 4) in the CFP.  Hell, imagine how USC fans have been feeling about our FB team for the last 10 years or so of terrible FB.  In parting, I think if QB D. Moore comes back, 2026 will your year to win da NC…  Peace & Aloha.  Cheers.

D Moore ?

[Butkus51]

My bad Bruddah Java, yeah QB D. Moore (not D. Williams).

I think Tee is just frustrated by Oregon always losing the big games. Ducks have been a run for a few years and still don’t have that National Championship. The window they created by getting ahead of everyone in buying players just might be closing.

TEE is not a sunshine pumper. Simple as that.

[RWC]

As always 51 a very nice post. I felt for Oregon as well, and was really surprised the defense gave up so many big plays. Never thought they had one of their better teams offensively to win it all, but until last night the defense was impressive all season.

When they came out for the 2nd half and Indiana got the ball first it was critical for Oregon’s defense to get off the field giving the offense a chance to get back in it.

Instead Indiana drove the field for the dagger TD game over.

You’re right 12 teams are too many, 8 is about right. Couldn’t help but think how crappy a team must be if they can’t get into the 12 team format.

Bruddah RWC, you’re a high 4.5 USTA player, must played in HS tennis and many tournaments.  You know any type of sports tournaments are so hard to go through.  In tennis, a big tournament there are 7 rounds, averaging 5 rds.  This CFP is one Mofo tournament, 4 rounds (Dam).  Anyway, always good talking to you Bruddah and Happy New Year…  Cheers

PS.  I think UCLA hired a very good coach, now he and GM must recruit like heck.  Good luck for 2026

[TEE]

Now you know why Chip benched Moore at UCLA.   What is it with Ducks and 5* busts at QB.  First it was that Travis Waller kid. Then it was Ty Thompson. Now this loser.

JKS.   Please transfer.

[Sawtooth 24]

I dont consider myself a sunshine pumper and mandb likes to throw around.

Tee’s all negative all the time.  LA is very level headed as a duck fan

i think I’ma realist in this new era of college football and I think our coach has a good as chance as anyone breaking through for us.   I also know it’s harder to win one now than it ever was.

DID I  wake up this morning feeling absolutely hopeless like it will not happen in my lifetime, YES.  Two blowout losses to end the year  in two years is concerning.
