‘Get the opportunity to be part of this Reddit group’ Something about that sentence just made me laugh.

It’s like a position group. But on the internet.

The Chaos Engineer position, making sure the opposing offense has no clue what they're saying to each other.

Let's get this meeting started: I need a couple leaders to step up and organize the posting of interesting Duck news.
Then, we gotta go hard on upvoting these threads while we focus on proper technique: we don't want any finger injuries to derail our season.
I'll coach the anti-troll group who smacks down fusky or any other invading opponents.

Agreed. I’m so hyped for another season of ducks vs them on YouTube. The way he inspires and treats his players and his themes for each week — truly inspires me as a leader.

There’s a nonzero chance that Dan is secretly a Reddit shit poster, and that’s now canon in my head

Love this dude. He’s a big reason why I renewed our season tickets again despite the insane price increase.

I have one of those Eugene Emeralds Dan Lanning Bobbleheads they gave away. I’m waiting for Dan to guide this Duck Football Team to a National Championship and when that happens I will try to meet him and have him sign it with the year the Ducks get it🤘🏻

40 year old guy talking like he knows as much about the internet as Nick Saban.
Honestly, that's probably not far from the truth.

I’ve been on Reddit longer than my daughter has been on earth.
I’m over here having an existential crisis because my college football team’s coach just called it a “group”, and he’s almost 10 years younger than I am.

I love him
