Hi y’all! My dad and I are taking the trip up to Madison this week for the Ducks game and are super excited. Was wondering if there are any meetups or hangouts going on for Ducks fans in the area that we can join in on (and bring some beer!). This will be our first Ducks game in awhile that we have the opportunity to attend so we want to make the most of it. Any recommendations would be great. Thank you! Go Ducks!

Ugh. I can’t just be happy for a few minutes

Once a Duck - Always a Duck

OREGON. Defeated Maryland 39-18. Is still undefeated, and demonstrably the best team in the country. Did all of the following nonsense on just one drive of regulation American football.  

1. With the score 21-10 and the Ducks offense stalled after a second straight three-and-out, Oregon called a fake punt on 4th and 3 from their 22 yard line by snapping the ball to the upback, 6’6”, 295 lb defensive end Jordan Burch. Burch broke an ankle tackle in the backfield and ripped away for a 36 yard gain and a first down. 
2. On the very next play, the Ducks try what I can only identify as reverse flea-flicker, draw a pass interference play when a Maryland defender turns into a 
3. Three plays ensue — including a wild-ass Gabriel throw off his back foot for a first down at the Maryland 3 — before Gabriel hits a wide open Gernorris Wilson for a touchdown. Gernorris Wilson is a 6’5”, 310 lb offensive lineman with zero previous catches as an FBS football player. 
4. Up by three scores already, Oregon then goes for two anyway by snapping the ball directly to 6’4”, 315 lb offensive lineman Josh Conerly. 
5. Conerly plunges into the endzone like an elephant seal coming ashore. 

We have no definitive data on this. But numbers never stopped anyone from making confident assertions before, so here goes: By employing a 295 lb defensive end, one lineman at 310 lbs and another at 315, the Ducks used the heaviest set of ball carriers employed on one drive in the history of college football. Throw in the running back and wide receiver on the series, and we’re conservatively looking at well over a half-ton of football mass. 

P.S. Oregon did all of this recklessness to snap their offense out of a mid game slump. If Oregon’s even remotely in danger, remember: You, too, are also in danger. 

Any word on why he sat most of the second half?

Please help 🙏🏼 I know they haven’t announced it yet, but any helpful predictions would be highly appreciated!!

I'm guessing Rose Bowl in the quarterfinals but after that how would it be determined if we went to the Orange or Cotton Bowl? Looking into buying tickets to Dallas if we play in the Cotton

This is pretty much a lock, right?

Indiana born and raised. No affiliation to UO whatsoever tbh. Just fell in love with the fast and flashy style of football the Ducks play about 15 years ago as a kid and haven't looked back since.

I'm staring down the barrel of being able to go to my first Ducks game ever, given I live very close to Lucas Oil. Could have gone to see them play Purdue, but I wanna spend my time and money watching them play a REAL team lol.

I just know that after IU vs OSU, tickets are going to skyrocket, and either way, the green and yellow faithful are going to be outnumbered like hell with Lucas Oil's proximity to IU and OSU.

I love the idea of being "behind enemy lines", and I'll do my best to be the loudest one in the building.

Basically since Oregon is at 10 wins the worst they could finish is 10-2, even though I think it’s very unlikely they’ll lose to both Wisconsin and Washington. With that being said, I feel like they would still get in at 10-2, seeing how a good amount of 2 loss teams will make the playoff this year, and the wins over Ohio state and Boise state are very good wins.

Edit: Here is a link where the athletic talks about if Oregon can “clinch” a playoff spot with a win vs Maryland https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5902140/2024/11/06/college-football-playoff-rankings-mike-gundy-lincoln-riley/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=twhq&source=twitterhq

"...the Ducks are clearly the best team in the country and if they keep their foot on the pedal, they'll remain on top"

Edit. I’m headed to the Rose Bowl and Atlanta for Natty. I truly believe this is the year.

Edit 2. That best team quote was changed. lol. Of course ESPN!!

How can the ducks defeat and lose at the same time

Is it just me or does it seem like it’s happening several times a game each week and it’s sometimes affecting Dillion’s rhythm? It’s only a matter of time before he launches one out of reach, hoping he’s able to clean that up.

Going for two on the regular. Fake punts in our own territory with the lead. Surprise onside kicks blasted at the opposition. 12 men on the field. This is classic Bellotti/Kelly Oregon football mindset. It hasn’t bit them in the butt yet, and it likely will at some point, but we gotta keep the foot on the gas at all times no matter what.

Was curious about what y'all think was the reason(s) for DG's lowest number of pass yards in this Maryland game?

I only watched the second half and it felt like he had a lot less time to get the ball out due to a poor O-Line, and the play calling was not doing the passing game any favors either.

But I feel like maybe I'm missing something about the low production?

Idk call me crazy, sco ducks, 10-0 babay!

So during the Coming Home song the crowd has a part where we all yell ‘HEY’ twice during the chorus and I feel like swapping those with a ‘GO’ and then a ‘DUCKS’ would be a lot cooler. I know the heys are written into the song but since it’s an in game thing I feel like we could take some liberties. Go Ducks?
