Darren Perkins

There is talk of a SEC and B1G scheduling alliance. So, of course, those would be home and home matchups. We'll see....

Nice observations. All I have to say is thank goodness for the new expanded playoffs.

True, I just glanced at the UT schedule. Yeah, a lot depends on which teams are having an up year, and which school are having a down year on the schedule.

Good point. This year is a down year for the B1G. Could you imagine if UW and UM were like they were last year? Yikes, would be as good as the SEC. Even USC was dangerous last. It goes in cycles.

Thanks. yup, get the key players back in time for the stretch run and not bring them back before they are ready.

Chilling to the bone!!!!

That's great! And, for the record, I have nothing against hockey, it was just never introduced to me. But, I dig a lot of the highlights on Espn, etc...

5th grade volleyball, my first year playing. I had a wicked overhand serve that was like a super fast knuckleball. I remember hitting kids in the face and tubby kids in the gut. The sound of the ball hitting the flab "splat" was addicting to me. It was great.... and violent!!!! ; ) In the championship match I served 15 straight points to close it out and take the home the blue ribbon. Ya didn't mess with Darren "Pistol" Perkins on the volleyball court back then. lol Agree, I get the strategy part of it, but I just hope we can turn on the 3rd quarter gas when needed, and will at some point.

Yup, the D is terrific, minus penalties, but we'll take it. I just worry that in games where the Ducks need offense from start to finish if they'll be able to do it. Bad habits can be hard to break.

I hear ya, but that could be risky because the games have not been put away by the third quarter, and the backups could screw things up royally with turnovers, etc... I'm befuddled!

Yes, I understand that point and it makes sense. I'm just worried that they train to play that way all season, will they be able to magically flip the switch when needed? I think it could be a risk.

Ha! Yes, I did. Saw it in the theatre, oh my goodness what a flop. Never watched it since. The scene I liked was the guy who lived by himself in the dark on a little raft inside the "belly" of the oil freighter, and his sole purpose in life was to check the oil level. Oh, and drinking your own pee. I wouldn't be good at any of that. Go figure.

The Cam Ward fumble at the end. As they say, once a Coug always a Coug. HE TOTALLY COUGED-IT!!!

Deep. And, good question.

Yeah, SC and PSU were strategically challenged.
