I’m 72 and I love these uniforms. No accounting for taste, I guess.

It's the difference between ratings and rankings. The stars come from an evaluation of skills, the rankings are only a comparison with other players. There aren't many 5-star players.

Not a bit. I always found something creepy about Leach.

Like being the drummer for Spinal Tap, with less severe consequences.

I guess I should have said a chronic problem. So far, they're not, at least by the statistics, but we'll have to see how the season goes.

The Standford game was really sad from a penalty standpoint, but I went back to the box scores for all the games this season, and so far at least, the Stanford game is an outlier. Georgia 5 for 35 yards. E. Washington 6 for 55 yards. BYU 8 for 48 yards. Washington St. 8 for 87 yards. Stanford 14 for 135 yards. Let's hope that the Tree was the low point for the season.

I think the question to ask is why would the officials hate the Ducks? Anyone have an answer for that? I agree that they did a poor job in last night’s game, and in many others, but I don’t think it’s any sort of anti-Duck conspiracy. I think PAC game officials are equal-opportunity incompetents. That, and officiating is difficult.

That’s what I’m belatedly beginning to think.

Can Bo stay for another 5 years? Thompson just looks lifeless out there.

The Ducks’ quality of play is dropping rapidly. Like they’re bored.

Sack!

Strange game, great result so far. Hard to argue with 31 - 3. Too much woofin’ from the Ducks for my taste. Make a good play? Get up and make another one. Don’t showboat.

This is how you do the Tighten Up:

Great stuff, just great! I really appreciate the effort put in by both authors, as both articles were clear, concise and easy to understand, even for me. Can't speak for anyone else, but I learned a lot. Now, if I can just see it happening in real time, in games. Much appreciated!

An image that shows why people play sports. A great shot of a great moment.

Was thinking the same thing. And that doesn’t even mention the run blocking. Against the #1 tram in sacks.

Football games take too long.

Dare we say, cougin' it?

See, I told you things would work out.

ASLEEP on defense!

I think things are going to work out.

Good thing there aren't 5 downs. Think how hard that would be to keep track of.

Poor blocking on that pitch.
