  1. Not a fan of Amazon's new commercial with Romeo and Juliet still alive and their families getting together for holidays. That many people doing home karaoke would lead me to kill myself impulsively like the main characters.
  2. Or perhaps Bobo caught two passes on the previous drive. He then catches a TD pass to make it a 2 score game with 4+ minutes to go. After I hit send, the onside kick goes out of bounds at Bobo's feet. Add in the fact that Ducks have spent the last few years having Mario Cristobal turn 10-20 point leads into 3-7 point leads with his late game decisionmaking. This is our new coach's 1st head-coaching gig and the first time he has had a decent, but not-out-of-reach lead vs an evenly matched squad late in the game.
  3. Soooo anyway back to what I was saying...
  4. Watched a Bruin game a few weeks ago. Don't really want to see Bobo getting in a groove. Hard enough to get bodies on Charbonnet.
  5. He is an impressive BEAST.
  6. over the years the Ducks have lost in unis I have loved, and won in unis I have disliked. Ugly unis look better with a 3 score lead. Losing in clown suits suck more than just losing.
  7. {While I generally try to avoid rampant swearing} Just wanted to drop in and say FUCK this FUCKING FUCK!
  8. Possibly fewer data points to highlight such things...but you are correct.
  9. Besides "being Aggy," what is the backstory to this screenshot?
  10. Whatever age is picked, it should be preceded by either impulsive or immature. As in even 10 year olds consider him more impulsive than average, or even when measured against an average 2 year old he would be on the immature side. It doesn't seem to unnecessary repetition in this instance.
  11. Like Big Orange1, I didn't know much about Penn St. and Purdue. I was surprised to hear that Boilermakers were up near the very end. Your analysis explains a lot. I may track the score on the North Dakota State & Nebraska game and see if it is worth finding the broadcast for a little while. Oregon Homers seem to be calling for a "Closer than the spread" cover based on the solid duck offensive line, some perceived talent at running back, and the assumption that Bo Nix can do something. The offensive factors would lead to a close game since the defense is supposed to be the stronger side of the ball this year. Many of the same honks called the upset over the Buckeyes last year. IMO: with this being Lanning's 1st run as head coach, nobody can really know how the staff has meshed, and how much has been installed to the level that all 11 players on the field are on the same page and up to game speed. As with any game, praying for no/few turnovers and lots of takeaways. When Lanning has been interviewed, he SOUNDS like a good hire. The other coaches SOUND like they are good as well. The proof is in the pudding, and I don't know if accurate results show up quickly, or if this will be a year of growing pains and band-aids. For the first game will mostly watch the unveiling against a strong opponent without as much emotional fandom and just see what happens.
  12. ...Or possibly when Phil Knight dies.
  13. All of this. Love the development of the conflict between Willie Jack and Jackie. The entire NARD conference was ripe with comedy. I am sure as a non-native I didn't catch even half of the underlying humor in those incidents.
  14. One I forgot about that is across the river in Springfield and criminally under-publicized. https://www.publichousehub.com/ A church that was converted to other uses. Partially a taphouse, partially a commercial kitchen space that leases to people who are starting their culinary business and an attached whiskey bar. I would spend a few hours here the afternoon or night before gameday.
  15. For breweries in Eugene, my 3 current recommendations would be: Coldfire Brewing: they have some quality brews and a collection of food trucks parked in the back. Each of the food trucks I have tried have been in the upper echelon for Eugene. Oakshire Public House: They have some of their regular selections but also some of their more experimental brews to try at this location on the edge of the Whitaker Neighborhood. A food truck or two can be parked their. The food truck schedule seemed to rotate and their quality could vary a little more. Ninkasi Brewing: They started smaller and developed into a large production facility. They built a patio and tasting room off one of their buildings but have recently built the Ninkasi Better Living Room which has their beer and also a nice restaurant. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Alesong Brewing. May not be open to general public but on a membership plan. They do some REALLY unique things. Aging beer in different wine or whiskey barrels, adding different fruits/flowers, using different hops. They are good at what they do, but do not go there expecting to get a straightforward lager, pilsner etc. There will be twists and turns. They are located in a rural area by some of the wineries. There are quite a few solid choices for taphouses to choose from. Some have a base that consists of their own product and then add other products. Other taphouses just carry a variety of beers and don't actually brew.
  16. I agree that the stadium is loud, especially because of the architecture [Sunken field, vertical stands and overhanging roof sections]. One of the main seating suggestions no longer applies: there used to be only one video screen and if you sat on that end of the stadium it was difficult to see replays and such...now a newer and larger screen has been added on the opposite side. All of the seats are pretty good for watching the game. If you like beer. I would check out the Bier Stein in Eugene. Superb selection (both on rotating taps and bottles/cans) limited menu that isn't necessarily AWESOME, but solid. If you are proficient with Yelp you can probably search out some more interesting food and drinking options than McMenamin's (particularly in Eugene area...Portland ones are more interesting.) If you are from Texas, I would strongly encourage you to skip the Pac. NW BBQ...I have been to Texas and the BBQ here is not at your level. Should be able to find some good salmon though.
  17. Words have meaning. "Not a regular viewer" does not mean "Never viewed." My implied purpose for that statement [Not a regular viewer] was that in my limited experience with the show, he never said anything so remarkable that made me want to return regularly to hear more. You are obviously more invested than I. Enjoy the show.
  18. This was my first question, followed closely by "When did he ever say anything of value on that show?" Caveat: I wasn't a regular viewer.
  19. This thread has the potential to carry me until the start of the fucked up holidays with the family thread.
