Gameday loves them some Ducks!

Well not so much this year. Deond says they are overrated and Herb says they won't win the conference this year.

Pretty incredible that only 4 teams have hosted more than Oregon.

It really surprises me that they would say that, especially Herbstreit, because we haven't lost much personel wise on either side of the ball. Yes, 3 of 4 had to be replaced in the secondary and the 3 starters had to be replaced on the D-Line, but we play 20 deep on defense. The guys stepping in have a LOT of game experience.

On offense we lost Johnstone, Addison and Dat, but Dat didn't do much the last few games anyway and we're loaded at receiver and have capable backups on the O-Line.

Herbie mentioned something about the level of leadership at the top a couple weeks ago. He has his doubts as to whether Helfrich can keep things rolling the way Chip did. I agree that that's yet to be seen, but to call them overrated seems a bit harsh. Stanford lost 7 big-time players. Are they overrated? UW just barely beat Hawaii and the Beavers sucked against Portland State.

Some of these guys bug me sometimes. Everyone was on board when Chip was here. Not so much now.

Well, I STILL AM!
