#13 Oregon @ Texas Tech (Sept. 9, Sat 4 PM FOX)

So I'm back to being afraid to watch the games. I was unable to be where I could watch the start of the game but started watching in the third quarter and we immediately ended up down by 9. So I turned it off and hoped my reverse Duck watching magic would work. Woke up this morning and low and behold, it worked. Anybody else afflicted with this syndrome? I'm serious. Worked against WSU last year and in the Bowl game against NC. Weird.

Go DUCKS!!!

My brother and I usually talk score predictions before every single game. I've been single-dadding this week though while the wife has been away (MASSIVE props to any single parents reading this), so our traditional pre-game chat completely slipped my mind yesterday. After halftime, I realized we hadn't talked and figured that was factoring into the team's performance on the field, so I gave my brother a call midway through the third quarter. As we talked about the weirdly bad pass defense and other things, the Ducks started playing significantly better! We kept the call going -- sometimes just dead silence as we watched the game -- and at some point in the fourth we both admitted we didn't want to hang up because clearly something was working. Lots of fun yelling and shouting when we got that Pick 6!

Moral of the story: Even as fans, we can fight for those inches.

I stopped watching after they went up by 9 and I'm glad my prediction of hoping I missed a great comeback rang true.

I just wasn't enjoying the game and checked myself out.

I could never bring myself to turn a duck game off, even when the ducks get blown out I watch til the end.

Yes, kind of. Honestly, for me when a L becomes more likely than not, I turn off and then stress/rage clean or work on projects. I'm old enough now that 4 hours wasted on an ugly L feels like a horrible waste of time. On occasion a magical comeback occurs and that's awesome to find out and then watch highlights for. But in the event of a L, at least I did something productive...

I spent the end of the game cursing the TV screen because Bassa didn't go down after the interception. Less than a minute to go, one time out left. That means victory formation unless my math is very bad, as opposed to giving TT a minute to score and put the game into OT. Bassa ran right down the Oregon sideline; why wasn't the coaching staff yelling at him to go down?

Of course, this is the same coaching staff that sent out two players with the same number for the opening kickoff; attention to detail is not a big deal for those guys.

And no, I am not interested in how it affected the betting lines.

^^^Exactly!

There’s a lot to fix…but I think this is the kind of win that helps build the team and makes them much better later in the year

You can tell Lanning gets it and is (or will soon grow into being) a great coach from his comments and demeanor

Plus, you can tell we got some really good young dudes on defense

Exactly. There's no reason to doom yet. Burrow's championship LSU team started with a gritty 1 score win at Texas (who would finish 8-5 that year)

Only concern I saw was how the OL was unable to win at the LOS at times last night. That is a bit concerning since everything starts up front. Couldn't pick up 1 yard with 3 tries? ......

But in fairness, I think the staff did adjust by having Jordan James play more at the end of the game vs a more shifty/smaller back (Irving)

[UofDuck]

As a reminder, Texas Tech beat Texas and Oklahoma last year at home, and they returned most of the team plus a transfer or two. I think the WY was a tank by them.

Anyone know what the deal is with Kris Hutson? Is he injured?

I think he gone

(No intel, but wasn’t standing with other injured players at the game AFAIK)

I kept it on, but started finishing the molding I’ve been replacing around the house. Nothing like taking out your Friday rations by tearing off ugly old wood, and replacing it with nice new stuff.

I'm in the east coast time zone. I have found through experience that I can't sleep after late night Oregon losses, so for night games I DVR the games and watch just the first half live, and the recorded second half the following morning. It is pretty much the same experience as watching the whole game live, without the insomnia. This game was a 7pm kickoff, and I decided watch the whole game live.

The WSU ESPN win probability hit 99.8%; the TT topped out at 63.2%.
