Apparently, the Indiana coaches spent a lot of time preparing for this game, the Oregon coaches maybe not as much. Will Stein, Tosh Lupoi, good luck with your next jobs, hope your assistant coaching hires are willing to give their all.
I'm seeing comments on this site and others that the Hoosiers are outnumbering the Duck fans by a significant margin and it might be a tough go at MB Stadium.
Remember Happy Valley with a stadium of 115k seats and what the ratio was of PSU fans to Duck fans and the outcome.
Exactly what I've been saying! We were at the PSU game. It was a very enjoyable exit post game. Hoping for the same tonight. Although these Indiana fans are super nice folks.
And Penn State was a solid powerhouse this year, lol, finished in the lofty position of 12th in the Big 17. I know, there's 18 teams in the Big 10, but Purdue didn't win a game and should be dropped to the Mid America Conference.
As a long time Beaver fan, I’ll be happy when all the Duck hoopla is over with one way or the other. I’m ready for you to hopefully focus more on the PAC 12 (ie.. the conference that likely combined doesn’t have as much money to buy players as the Ducks.).
I'm on site. Indiana fans 30 to 1. This will be the ultimate to win this game in this environment given the setting, travel challenges and roster depletion/injuries. Go Ducks!
I hope for a Duck win but the lack of RB's and reduced DB depth has me worried. Besides Indiana was the better team at Autzen. On the other hand, UO surprised me vs TT so why not surprise me vs Indiana?
Kind of sad watching Oregon reach this position, only to have injuries and transfers deplete their strength. One can hope, but it's hard to see a win here with a crippled rushing attack that puts huge stress on the passing game. I don't envy Lanning and all he is contending with, including losing his offensive and defensive coordinators just as the portal opens up. I was hoping for a Ducks win, but now I expect something like Indiana 31, Oregon 13. :( Hope I'm wrong.
That was just the start. Total disaster. Feel terrible for Lanning to have it end up like this after all his hard work. Also feel for the players who gave it their all.
How long have the Ducks been trying to climb the mountain with Phil Knight's money? Looks like Indiana will come all the way from the bottom of FBS in 2 years. Must be more than a little galling.
Lanning's a shitty coach. Can't motivate his players, Bad with x's and o's. Fill Night spent over $40 million paying these players, more than any other college football team. Time to fire Lanning. Or hopefully the rumor I heard about the Raiders hiring will happen. Not only does Lanning need to coach better but he needs to recruit better. Stop getting stupid players! Duck APR ranks last out of all power 4 schools, last in the Big10 and overall 124 out of 135 FBS teams.
Oregon was outplayed, outcoached, and outclassed. Indiana doesn’t just throw money at players, they develop them. Cignetti is a shrew evaluator of talent and has the ability to help players reach their potential with his coaching. This is also true for his coordinators and assistants. Fernando Mendoza was good at Cal but became won the Heisman at Indiana. Imagine what Cignetti could do with a roster full of 4 and 5 star players like Oregon. Lanning isn’t a bad coach, sometimes the other team is simply better.
Game’s over and the Ducks played as well as Alabama did in the Rose Bowl against the Hoosiers. The Ducks are welcome to come back to the Pac12 conference and beat up on those teams if they want.
"Baldcast?" How do you call in to Canzano's show now? Before his radio show got cancelled on 750 "The Game" I enjoyed listening to Canzano's not so smart takes and listening to people that called in. Never thought I'd miss hearing him at 3pm, lol!

Piece of cake....

Yeah, it did turn out to be a piece of cake for sure.......
Hopefully Indiana finishes this off, definitely this year's best team.
I like your thinking!

At the time both were ranked in the top five I believe. You must not have watched the game nor the hype leading up to it.
The narrative since then about PSU's collapse has more than less belittled Oregon's accomplishment at that time hasn't it. Too bad.
Pardon
As a long time Beaver fan, I’ll be happy when all the Duck hoopla is over with one way or the other. I’m ready for you to hopefully focus more on the PAC 12 (ie.. the conference that likely combined doesn’t have as much money to buy players as the Ducks.).
But, of course I’ll be watching the game.
I too am a Beav grad looking forward to coverage of the new PAC, the true left coast conference.
I'm on site. Indiana fans 30 to 1. This will be the ultimate to win this game in this environment given the setting, travel challenges and roster depletion/injuries. Go Ducks!
Better get the Duck fans to yell 30 times louder than the IU fans! Go Ducks!! And have a great time at the game!
I hope for a Duck win but the lack of RB's and reduced DB depth has me worried. Besides Indiana was the better team at Autzen. On the other hand, UO surprised me vs TT so why not surprise me vs Indiana?
Definitely some concerns.
Doesn’t the Indiana coach look like the unabomber
Doesn't Dan Lanning look like a loser?
Good luck to the Oregon Ducks. Beat Indiana

Pick 6 11 seconds in. Let's see how the Ducks respond, but Uncle Phil may need to wait another year. Looks like they're playing in Bloomington.
That was just the start. Total disaster. Feel terrible for Lanning to have it end up like this after all his hard work. Also feel for the players who gave it their all.

Does the name Mark Cuban ring a bell? His billions helped Indiana get to this point. Every successful team has big money behind it.
My point is that Indiana has gone from the outhouse to the penthouse in 2 years. Oregon has been at it a lot longer than that.

Dan Lanning isn’t going anywhere. Rumor is that if he sticks around through entire contract he gets a big ($30M?) Nike stock option as a bonus.
He'll get fired.
BS
I’m predicting Indiana W by 13, but hoping for a close game.
John: YOUR QUESTION; Will this game be close and tight.
ANSWER
YES: BEFORE KICKOFF
Ducks once again get boat raced on the big stage. Lanning didn’t seem to have his team mentally prepared.
Game’s over and the Ducks played as well as Alabama did in the Rose Bowl against the Hoosiers. The Ducks are welcome to come back to the Pac12 conference and beat up on those teams if they want.
The players play. The fans yell. Players will decide it.
are you saying, these coaches have, like, 'karmic connection', or something? that would be like 'way cool man'
If Whittington also can't go and the Ducks cannot run the ball effectively it will be tough sledding.
