Slingin' Quack

So this last weekend was very not chill.  A lot of not chill things happened.  Oregon dropped their first game of the season to Nebraska.  The Ducks ran for over 300 yards and didn't have a turnover, which normally would lead one to believe that it would be a Duck win.  However, when you have over 120 yards in penalties, you're going to have a bad time.

Bottomline from my perspective, if you don't separate yourself from your opponent in a significant way then it is an assumed risk that the refs might screw you.  You have to be so good the refs don't matter.  It's also the story of the 1991 Cotton Bowl when Miami played Texas.

Every team has injuries but it should be noted that Oregon was without some huge contributors in the loss.  That isn't to excuse the loss, but to show that the team can play significantly better.  We also talk about how young the team is and how next year we will see a big improvement.

Sean elaborates on his hot take about Devon Allen's track and field career and its relation to his football career.

Lastly, we preview the game against Colorado and what we hope to see against the Buffs.  Colorado played Michigan really well in the first half.  The Colorado quarterback, Sefo Liufau, is still uncertain about playing in the game this Saturday.  It will be a good challenge for the Ducks after they showed improvement last week.

At the very end we make the point that we are six weeks out from the college basketball season.  Athlon has Oregon ranked as the number one team headed into the season.

Sean and I are back for another episode of Slingin’ Quack. Oregon had a 44-26 win over Virginia and for some reason a lot of people think the end is nigh. However, the sun did come up the next morning, and we know that because I sat in traffic on my way home from work.

Rusty and Sean talk about the win over FCS opponent UC-Davis.  There is a certain mythbuster segment going over the three phases of the game.  They take a quick look around the conference, talk about the size of players, and the game against Virginia

Rusty Ryan is back to host Slingin' Quack with a longtime friend filling in. We talk about what we want to see against UC-Davis, look at the football schedule, analyze the depth chart, and take a look at the conference at-large.

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson are back after a short delay.  The two talk about the Oregon Spring game, which includes: The QBs, Pharoah Brown, Devon Allen & the receivers, and the new 4-3 D. Since Oregon is a T&F school we've got some awards to talk abt

Rusty Ryan and Sean Larson are back to preview the NFL Draft and the Oregon Spring Game this Saturday.  DeForest Buckner is the only Duck that will go on Day 1 and all signs point to him going to the 49ers.  We also talk about what we need to see in the spring game on Saturday.

Rusty and Sean meet up after Oregon's amazing stretch to the elite eight in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.  They talk about the upcoming Oregon Football season, spring practices, Devon Allen running track, and the QB race.

Oregon takes on the Duke Blue Devils in their run for the national championship.  The winner faces the winner of Texas A&M and Oklahoma.  Rusty and Sean break down the game against St. Joes and look ahead to tipoff in a few hours.

The Ducks enter the NCAA College Basketball March Madness as a one seed, which neither Sean or Rusty expected.  They also talk about their brackets, the possibility of a loss to Holy Cross, and a little bit of college football.

COMIN' TO YOU LIVE FROM THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF THE ARIZONA SEMIFINAL GAME!  Rusty and Sean talk about the Oregon-Arizona game and how it is one of the best games in recent memory.  They follow up with track and field, pro day, and the NFL draft.
