Quack 12

So TL:DR you agree? Perfect.

Don't worry about it, you are demonstrably not.

I'm surprised you mentioned those particular SEC teams after South Carolina and Arky "ran through" two of your all-powerful squads. "Trump in a landslide." 🤣

Oh, here's your response. So Daniels is just like Bo then!

And once again, I'll ask you why Jayden Daniels is excelling in the SEC when he was average at best in the Pac-12? You are skilled at false equivalency.

They shouldn't. I don't know what's happened with Ty, but he seems to have zero confidence and he plays like the proverbial deer in the headlights. And I've never seen Butterfield in an actual game. On Monday, Lanning said he felt better about the "health of the team," but he didn't specifically reference Nix, other than saying something about his ankle. I've also seen some knee ligament rumors. Yesterday, Lanning said, "Bo is practicing as if he'll be ready to go," whatever that means. I have a rare bachelor weekend coming up. It's just me and the dogs watching college football all day Saturday. I am very concerned that I won't be able maintain consciousness until 7:30 p.m.

"fare" If the Pac-12 is imploding, why do you visit this board to constantly tell us how great the SEC is? Why do you care? Are you still working on your children's book? And by the way. you never have explained how Jayden Daniels is able to excel in the SEC after being rather pedestrian in the Pac-12?

Well there's your problem; you "fell back" too early.

So ALL football fans in the Eastern Time Zone are at a high school game, travelling to a college town or partying down at 10 o'clock on Friday nights? Talk about hyperbole. And yeah the Pac-12 Network is lame. I can't get it because of the lack of a Direct TV deal, but I won't pay for the SEC Network, B1G Network, Big XII/Longhorn Network or the ACC Network (if their is such a thing) either. The one thing the Pac-12 Network has is wholly owned infrastructure, which is a very valuable bargaining chip with streaming services, like Amazon or Apple.

One of my Husky friends mentioned the "Whammy in Miami," so he was clearly stoked. As I read somewhere. I think Lanning got hung up on Washington's first drive, and believed his defense couldn't slow down Penix, which was obviously true. Still, I'm not convinced that the onsides kick attempt or the late 4th and 1 were prudent decisions. Also regarding Lanning, Washington was smart getting another play run after that disputed catch (2nd quarter?). I think the Ducks should have called a time out and let replay have a look at it. I thought it looked incomplete. Regardless, it was a fun but frustrating game to watch. Congratulations to UW!

All I've read is that his ankle would be "evaluated" on Sunday. Apparently Alex Forsyth, their already dinged-up center, suffered another injury on the final drive, and so did his backup. It's looking pretty grim.

I agree. They can put UCLA-esque drives together against Oregon, and the weather - probably the only thing that can slow down their passing game - doesn't look too bad. I don't think they can slow down the Ducks' running game though, so if Bo is Bo, Oregon should pull it out.

Just as Bo Nix "proves" that SEC defensive lines are far superior to those in the PAC-12, Jayden Daniels "proves" they really aren't.

That's hilarious. Ellipses are used to indicate missing or unspoken words, and there are always three of them, not four. EXAMPLES: "Oh, say can you see ..." or "HLB is a complete ..." Nice try, though,

So which teams are the 15th and 16th? Even when you troll you're wrong.

Yeah, their kicker was the MVP against ASU. 🙄

What's the complaint? Initially, I thought the kicker touched it before it traveled 10 yards, but Fox showed an angle from the endzone and it was pretty obvious that he didn't. I'm not sure what DTD is referring to; I tried to look it up but the rules are incredibly convoluted so I couldn't straighten it out. As far as I can tell the kicking team making contact is fine unless the ball is in the air and a receiving team member is attempting to catch it - then it's interference.

Thank you for that. I'd like to visit here more (pissed that I missed this year's pick 'em) but retirement has resulted in a lot more manual labor and a lot less sitting at a desk. To your second point, the Georgia loss is an albatross Oregon will carry all season, especially if the Dawgs lose along the way. I can whine about first-time coach/staff in first game, new QB, defending champs, de facto home game, etc., but it doesn't matter, it's still forty-fuckin-nine to three! They can't overcome it. Every pundit mentions it every time they mention Oregon. It's like Hunter Biden and his laptop.

So if Bo Nix's season is a "barometer" of the elevated competition in the SEC, what does Jayden Daniels' performance this year at LSU tell your "barometer?" Sorry, but you can't use individual players to extrapolate relative conference strengths. That's stupid. The funny thing is that no one here is arguing that the Pac-12 is stronger than the SEC, but you make illustrating the almighty domination of the SEC your one and only premise. That's stupid too.

I don't follow baseball much, but yesterday's win over the Jays was the most incredible thing I've ever seen on a baseball diamond. Anymore, I only have room in my heart for the agony and ecstasy of following one football team. I support the Seahawks because my wife loves them, but I don't consider myself a "fan" per se. I mostly just follow former Ducks in the NFL, so the Chargers and the Falcons currently have my interest.

You're obviously not familiar with Oregon's history in the desert.

Good Point!

Do you realize that you quoted a quote?

I got a text message today from Donald Trump's "new" social media platform, probably because of my mostly red zip code. I won't name or link it here because I don't want to give it any publicity, but it asked me "Will you Join"? (text STOP to remove) To which I responded, "Fuck no! STOP." The kickback was "Thank you for your response." I'm genuinely worried about a potential Trump coup in '24, and as others have pointed out, his lackeys are positioning him for it. I apologize for bringing politics on to the sports forum with HLB, but that guy is a clear example of how Trump can return, People actually believe his bullshit. We're at the proverbial watershed moment, folks.
