00:00In Oregon made a literal splash ahead of the first day in India big 10 media days

00:07putting the big inflatable duck into the White River in downtown Indy. Dan

00:13Lanning had this to say yesterday Joe quote we're mighty different I hope we

00:18get to take that big floating duck to all our away games we're innovative and

00:23quote wasn't the only thing Dan Lanning had to say yesterday but I'm glad that

00:28we are showing you the b-roll footage of the big inflatable duck into the White

00:33River in Indianapolis Joey big presence now in the big 10 will be matched with

00:39big expectation and performances out of the ducks in 2024 yeah well and I love

00:45Dan Lanning I love the I love the aggressiveness I love the intensity of

00:50trying to just come into the big 10 and say hey we're here and I think they will

00:54be here second best price in regards to the conference to challenge Ohio State

00:59they're built from an offensive line and defensive line perspective and they get

01:04the transfer from Oklahoma Dylan Gabriel to take over for Bo Nick so I

01:09think they're going to be right there both of those teams showdown and Eugene

01:12in regards to that matchup October 12th I think Oregon wins the conference I

01:18think right now entering the 24 campaign they are the best team in regards to the

01:23big 10 I think they step up and I think they win it this year yeah take a look

01:28and that's a big game Saturday the 12th October 12th that is they take on Ohio

01:32State they also have to travel to Michigan a little bit later in the

01:34season November then finally even later in November Saturday the 16th heading

01:38towards Wisconsin let me ask you this question because you know the Pac-12

01:42used to playing on the West Coast now you have more East Coast West Coast type

01:46of travel here how do you think that affects Oregon at this point or there's

01:49just say Joe well Donnie they have Ohio State at home that's the game that you

01:53want at home this year and if they win it they should win it well I think

01:56that's obviously the big one on the on the schedule Donnie but you're right

02:00about the the actual logistics of going to Big Ten you know conference at Big

02:05Ten schedules and stadiums throughout the year is that how is the team going

02:09to handle it it's a new landscape and we saw this with the Big 12 in terms of

02:13that transition four teams came into the conference last year three of them

02:17struggled UCF was the only team to make it to a bowl so again I think that's

02:22always a possibility but the way Dan Lanning has built this team he was a

02:26national champion with the Georgia Bulldogs as defensive coordinator and

02:30has his teams prepared only two losses last year came at the hands of

02:34Washington that made it to the national championship game I think they're going

02:38to be just fine and let's not forget you know Tyler Van Dyke is the potential

02:42quarterback in Wisconsin he couldn't throw touchdowns in Miami he's gonna

02:46throw him in Madison

02:52you
