To my fellow Oregon fans? I hear you, as what we were watching at times made us all ill. First 38 points scored is not enough to win versus Oregon State, and now the defense holding a weak Cal team to 21 points is not enough either? The problems are too numerous to list and I believe the superb community here has covered them all quite well in the comments recently. I am the one stuck on the FishDuck team with writing a game recap … and who would want to do that after what we witnessed?
Oregon is not a very good team right now, and in a normal year-I don’t think we crack a .500 win mark with the 2020 Duck edition. Sure Cal is better now than a month ago, but so is Stanford and we caught a break there. We will have a ton of time in the off-season to look at all the issues, and we will need that time to examine and ponder. For a ton of fans? They will not as they will just check-out and focus on other things in their lives.
And I get it.

Sometimes Oregon fans can be a little scary…
I enjoy the community of people here who share their opinions and their feelings, and sometimes–our thoughts are not always pleasant ones. I don’t mind people expressing their frustrations–to a point. At some point this site is not meant to be a therapist’s couch where you can come to vent your full blast of negative energy. Some of the over-the-top stuff I have already thought of, and really don’t need to read it.
I would say that 98% of the negative comments written are fine, as people express why they feel as they do and I do understand that it does help each of us in a way to “let-go,” but it is not healthy for us to have to read some of the stuff written. I have been going back-and-forth with one reader this last week about his over-the-top posts and had him step away for a few days, but upon his return–the dark stuff materialized again in his comments. I spent time writing emails and dealing with him to no avail and finally I deleted his account last night.
I am not here to babysit adults.
I put in enough hours and dollars into all of this providing a free website without having the extra burden of haggling with people about how far they went over the line. And regrettably–sometimes they simply cannot see what we see in their writing. This is not what I signed up for in providing this for the community, and do not like the trendline of what I see.

It is great fun to be a part of a bigger fan experience!
Before you get concerned–nearly all that I’ve read is marginally OK, or it is fine. We allow for and want player and coach assessments concerning their performance, and we do not allow it to get personal. But something I’ve dealt with before, (No. 48 of the rules) is when people are getting excessively negative, and even appear to be enjoying spewing their venom. I don’t want that going on here and there is a difference between sharing negative feelings and what is happening on offense or defense that drives you crazy. But going really dark has no place here….
Yet I want to encourage our joint frustrations, as we are all Duck fans and we are going to need to flock together and remain loyal to Oregon–no matter what. One thing I have admired about Beaver fans is how no matter how bad the team was–a loyal core was behind them regardless. There is honor in sticking by your team during the tough times, because anybody can when the times are great.
Will Oregon fans do that now? And how much venting is enough?
