We have a jam-packed show today! First, we give our rapid reaction to Tim Deruyter being hired as the Ducks Defensive Coordinator.  Do we like the hire? What does it mean for the program? How does Deruyter compare to the other candidates? We touch on Larry Scott's departure. Then we put a bow on the 2020 season and shift our attention fully towards the offseason. We also hit on a few position battles heading into 2021. Then we take you back in time to Thursday night when we didn't yet know the DC hire, and you get to hear where our heads were at and how things could've been different if we had gone with another finalist Tosh Lupoi. Finally, we wrap things up with a bit of recruiting talk. Full show... Enjoy and Go Ducks!

We go back through the Fiesta Bowl... Why did the Ducks struggle to ever get it going? What should we make of the rotations at quarterback, running back, and elsewhere? Are the turnover and special teams' miscues indicative of a larger problem? We also hit on the opt-outs and potential opt-ins for next year, recruiting news, and some speculation on coaching staff changes. Go Ducks!

We preview the Fiesta Bowl matchup with Iowa State. What position battles will decide the game? Who will take the majority of snaps at QB? We also catch you up on the cyclones season, and how they compare in both talent and scheme. We give our prediction and then we run through the rest of the NY6. Enjoy!

Take Back the West? Cristobal's guys had other plans. It was arguably the Ducks' best performance of the year in their biggest game. We relive it all and try to shoutout every key player from a game full of pivotal plays. Reid makes the case that this game was shaped by prior recruiting battles, and explains how the result can be leveraged by Cristobal on the recruiting trail going forward. Charlie shares why Oregon fans shouldn't be too concerned with a quarterback controversy. Then, we quickly look ahead to what should be a fun Fiesta Bowl matchup vs Iowa State. How did we end up here after this turbulent season and particularly this wild week in Ducks' news? We soak up the joy of back to back conference titles and laugh at the tears of our rivals. It is an especially great time to be a Duck!

It's been one of the most hectic weeks of Ducks' news in recent memory. We give our thoughts on the Cristobal extension and its implications for the future of the program. We also touch on a very successful Early Signing Day, in which Oregon inked all 20 expected signees to achieve the program's best-ever class. And of course, there's a conference championship on the line Friday night. We preview the game and talk about some favorite memories of playing USC and watching Oregon's rise to power on the West Coast over the past two decades. Go Ducks!

It's here, the biggest game of the season against the rivals up North (hopefully it's played). We dive right into our lasting takeaways from the Cal loss. Then, we let you know what key matchups and factors may likely play a deciding role in this rendition of Ducks vs Dawgs. Can Oregon finally put it all together? Ducks fans certainly know there isn't any time better than the present. Finally, we go through the weekend slate for the conference and major matchups in the top 25. Go Ducks!

We said it all week, this season is going to come down to how Oregon plays against the Huskies next weekend. Yet, we didn't expect Oregon to drop this game in Berkeley. The defense finally showed a pulse, the offense was plagued again by untimely turnovers. What, if anything, should we take away from the result of this game? Is there a Quarterback controversy? (We don't think so, at least not this year). Charlie wonders if anything in this strange season should significantly impact our outlook on the program. Reid explains why the result has oddly given him more confidence heading into the UW game. As always, Go Ducks.

We start with how some distance and perspective have affected our opinion of the Ducks after the disappointing loss in Corvallis. Then we bounce around to a few major Ducks developments: new CFP ranking featuring #23 Oregon, the Kyron Ware-Hudson decommitment, and expectations for our finish to the 2021 recruiting cycle. We also take a peek at the mood amongst the rival Huskies up north and discuss what the finish to this season could mean for the balance of power between Oregon, USC, and UW in the conference. As usual, we take a full look at the weekend slate and let you know what we expect from the Cal game. Charlie and Producer Paul wonder if this will finally be the week our defense shows up. Reid questions why any of this really matters if we can't beat the Washington next week. Go Ducks!

You know why you're here. We try to do the tough work of dissecting the Ducks' close loss in Corvallis. Why did this happen? What goals are still ahead of the team for this season? How does this affect the trajectory of the program under Cristobal? This isn't the most upbeat podcast, nor is the language the most family friendly, but it is a necessary listen. As always, Go Ducks!

The Pod vents our frustrations about Oregon being ranked 15th in the first College Football Playoff rankings. Reid reminds everyone that Iowa State lost to Louisiana by 3 scores! Charlie wonders how many teams are ranked ahead of the Ducks that we should be favored against. Producer Paul continues to ride for Indiana. Then we give our lasting impressions from Oregon's close win over UCLA, before pivoting to this Friday's matchup with the Beavs. We give our take on why Oregon could win this game by 3 scores. Finally, we run through the (long) weekend schedule and give our takes on the biggest games. Go Ducks!
