So everyone thinks they ran up the score….what do you want? This isn’t high school where you play with a running clock. Back ups were playing plus the 2nd & 3rd string QB. Give me a break you people complain & bitch about pretty much everything!

Julie, we are not bitchin', we are commenting on classlessness. 1st 2nd 3rd string does not matter and are as much to blame as the coach and 1st string.

So what do you want? Should they just stop playing. It’s no fun watching this kind of blowout. But what’s the answer? These games are scheduled years in advance. I guess since it’s the Ducks then you are entitled to comment & say they are classless. Whatever makes you feel better.

Pat, I'm not - I'm in a great mood today. Have been ever since I got out of bed. No sadness. That happened when the Pac-12 blew itself up, but I've recovered - very happy, thank you for inquiring. Hope you had a good day, too.

Mr. Ed,

Truly, I will miss playing the Cougs. My son and I have had wonderful experiences attending Duck games in Pullman as guests of his father-in-law, a former Cougar Swim Team Captain. The WSU Paulouse Golf Course in the fall is gorgeous! Kicked my behind, but the views, Whoa Nellie!

Mr. Crawford,

I will be there in person, as my wife and I are for all home games. If you actually (I believe the word you are searching for is couldn’t.) careless about the Ducks, why do you comment?

Signed,

Confused Duck

When Oregon State ends up in the same conference as Portland State this is how OSU v Oregon games would look. No thanks. Ducks, with all their PK money and purchased players, can find other teams to pummel.

Mr. McMorris,

I fear you are correct with your assessment of OSU’s football future.

This board talks a lot about what's best for the athletes. Is pimping out your team for slaughter just to get a paycheck really in the kid's best interest? This type game--and a bunch of others like it today-- are a good argument in favor of splitting the haves and have nots (superconference), AND getting rid of these ridiculous FCS matchups. What's to be gained for either school with mismatches like this?

It’s unfortunate, but for PSU it’s all about their athletic department budget. These games are very important for their bottom line.

Beautiful photos as usual but I don't care for the grotesque subject matter. Running up the score shows a lack of character in my opinion but then should anyone be surprised given the recent double dealings by u of o leadership?

What do you want a running clock🤷🏻‍♀️They played the backups pretty much from 1 minute into the 3rd quarter.

Ducks coach making up for the shellacking they had last season. But then, he is not a real PAC-12 coach. Had to do good in front of his boss.

Mr. Setera,,

You are correct Sir. Mr. Lanning is really a B1G coach.

Barnum would think comments like this are more disrespectful than getting beat 81-7.

Good game for the Ducks, but running up the score shows a little lack of class. Just saying, I know this is a Duck heavy comment section, but no apologies.

Not looking for an apology...looking for common sense. Barnum would roll his eyes over comments like this.

Lotsa class Ducks! Run up the score. Try that next year playing on tundra in November. Maybe your owner, Uncle Phil (after killing the Beavers) can buy you more NIL Millionaires. College football is not amateur, just paid to play.

Great job ducks! Build that brand! Make uncle phil proud. Running up the score like that is pathetic…..Maybe phil will write them another check to celebrate their performance! It’s all about money now anyway.

Not that many comments from the regulars and a lot of angst. I, on the other hand had a glorious day of PAC12 football. Watched more football than any day ever. My first wife would have wanted to be at the house on the coast (no TV and before cell phones). My second wife would have wanted to be at the cabin in the woods ( no TV or cell phone service). My third wife who I live with today is actually my 2nd wife except she has Alzheimer's and she is not the woman I married. She enjoyed that I seemed to be enjoying myself.

Oregon did not run up the score.

Colorado may be for real.

Sad to say that I won't be able to watch OSU (where my 2nd and 3rd wives went to school) because I don't get CBSS channel.
