call me naive, but i thought he was talking about being the underdog against utah.

crazy that utah opens as 3-pt favorites. but i am glad bc dux play better as underdogs.

one has to wonder if officiating comes up in the cfp committee discussions around oregon. i mean, how could it not re: the stanford loss?

i find it incredible and terrifying that this defense has yet to score a TD.

seriously, can we just run a play and not clap and look at the sideline?!

so we’re just going full-jinx here on the fishduck forum these days?!!

DYER was DOWN!!!

i have been thinking this all season. unfortunately, #1 was better. BUT i think the supporting cast around #13 is waaaaaaaaay better. remember when an injury to a single OL ruined a season?

i agree. everyone from inside the program is saying this is one of, if not THE toughest teams for dux to beat. this really is a playoff game.

wilner doesn’t mention david shaw. shaw has to be warming up.

sarkisian to usc after kiffen that worked out well

i love the way MC talks. He never talks down to his audience the way MH and CK always did. he offers real info while also keeping it close to the vest. and he’s honest, unlike WT. when MC was still an assistant, he was always the first person i wanted to see interviewed.

it could be nefarious, but i think it’s simply accurate. it’s the coaches’ and ap polls that give credit for wins in games not yet played. if we believe the committee, which says conf champs is major factor, then a 0- or 1-loss p5 champion will get in before a 1-loss p5 runner-up (yes, even the SEC runner-up). the only excuse would be SOR/SOS, but making that excuse would be like giving a giant middle finger to the conf (or 2) that’s left out, and i just don’t see anyone wanting to die on that hill. pac-12 and big12 have just made it easy by producing 2-loss champs. does an undefeated or 1-loss wake forest get in ahead of a 1-loss SEC runner-up in GA? i hope no one has to decide that.

true dat

for the 2nd straight week, ZERO teams in the pac south have won a game yet, and usc is trying to lose. the south’s only wins will come against other south teams.

wow—excellent story!!! thx @Charles Fischer

i am going to my first game at the rose bowl tmrw and would love any and all advice y’all have.

starting this thread to highlight the brilliant word-smithing of @Jon Joseph this needs to stick.

still getting used to the new forum UX. just want to sat that “Always say, Dye” is genius and needs to go viral.
