What are your thoughts of playing LSU the first game of the year? Confident? Chance to prove something vs. an SEC team? How does your fan base perceive LSU?

I am not a big fan of having such a huge game to start the season even though it is exciting. I would rather have a tune up game before a great opponent. I respect Oregon and even though yall are a PAC 10 team have always liked them but it seems Oregon has more to prove than LSU...which scares me.

Think I can speak for most all Duck fans in saying I was extremely excited when this game was announced.

Confident?


Confident it will be tight; see it as a coin toss. Don't especially like Oregon's somewhat green O-Line starting off against your athletic front, and I would pick a comfortable LSU win were y'alls offense a bit more formidable.

A big-name team with a ton of talent.

Understandable, but I guess you take exciting match-ups like these where you can get them.

I, for one, don't mind this being our first game. They are usually sloppy.

First game of season is always interesting. Everyone has a zero loss season and high expectations... and some players that have never played a down in college. All we can do is support our teams and hope for things we have no control over.

In a return question: What does the nasty hot weather do to your fall workouts? Looking at Eugene weather, they are in the low 70's and weather is not a factor.

Looking forward to a good game, but really don't know what to expect, points wise.

If I could make the schedule I would go for a "tune-up" first...that said, I love a big game any time of year! No feel for the points, but I think it will be close.....if we keep it close I like our chances a little more as we can move the ball downfield quickly. A win would definately get the SEC "monkey" off our back. I respect the deep tradition at LSU......but I like the ever changing Ducks!!! Been a Duck fan for 42 years and love the games.....see you in Texas!

I can't wait... 7 years on this board and now it is just about here. Not sure what to expect in regards to the score though.

I actually went to the LSU/ASU game that was moved here to AZ so I guess I am 1-0 at LSU games...
