Yea the Ducks are better than some of the teams that got "at large" bids to the dance. But... neither the Ducks or any PAC-12 teams had decent non conference wins. Net result no NCAA bid. If we'd have finished the job against Vandy early in the year. Or......... Or........ we'd have been dancing. S...

Searching for yield

Posted by GoDucks349 on 1/23/12 at 7:59 am
CFA challenge......... So in today's market where are you going to find good/low risk yield/dividend income with a minimum 3% return. How would you diversify for risk control? Any particular sectors you'd avoid? Etc. ...
I just retired Dec 31st. I've had "kids" give me college business cards over the years and it's a bit of a turn off. I'd rather have someone ask for my business card so they can send me an electronic version. Also, remember "giving" business cards out is a waste of time. 99% go in the trash. The...
Well, you have to give Maryland a lot of credit, unlike LSU and Oregon, we both kept Crowton around way too long......... :bow: I just wish you guys would have kept him ONE more year....... ...
[quote] Oregon played without their designated dumbass, their star DB/KR who has since been arrested again, this time for driving without his lights on at 1 AM, while driving on a suspended license. the sub in the game allowed a RR TD and muffed a kick and had one stripped by TM7.[/quote] I ...
[quote]Two of those TD's were garbage time TD's [/quote] ummmmmmm. Which TWO were those? The last one was a TD by the defense. ...

[quote]Personally I think the SEC east is quite weak this year. The SEC west is tough as nails. LSU, Bama, Ark, three excellent teams." GoDucks, you make too much sense to be posting here on the rant. [/quote] :lol: Thanks, told you guys before the Oregon LSU game I'd be back regardless of t...

[quote]I'm a Duck... 2002 Miss State was 3-9 and 2003 Miss State was 2-10. Nothing to brag about. Tennessee is horrible now and have been for the past few years - again, nothing to get too excited about. Let me know when you guys beat a mediocre SEC team Edit: UT was 6-7 last year. Meh[/quo...

[quote]Hey there Duck, Know what I think ?? YOur Duck team should just join the SEC and show us little teams how to play college football. You Duck team does real good against non SEC teams .

[quote]quote: Of the three Stanford turnover that occurred while the game was still in doubt, Oregon scored three TDs. 21 of 23 point win no factor in W, and of course wouldn't have affected the playcalling later in the game? I remember you being much more sensible at start of the sea...

[quote]I don't think there will be a rematch. If LSU wins out we will play the winner of Oklahoma/Oklahoma State IMO. I think voters will want to give someone a chance that hasn't played LSU already[/quote] Oklahoma doesn't get a shot at you. They lost to a 5-5 Texas Tech team. That takes them ou...

One more thing, Oregon still has to beat USC this weekend. Any discussions of a rematch are on hold until the next three games are played. SC is playing each game like it's there bowl game and it is because "they ain't goin nowhere". ...
[quote] Homers gonna home, I guess. I'm fine with Oregon or Pac12 fans arguing that they are as deserving for a rematch as Bama, but the lack of respect for LSU after all the shite it has accomplished this year is mind bottling.[/quote] I'm not sure I know who's disrespecting LSU. Myself as ...
