Slick to FSU and MariNo to Miami both made tons more sense than DL going to aTm. I just don't see the upside here for DL.

Good point as I am always a fan of running around the pile for short yardage plays, because it's simple math. But we will have to see how they respond to our OL as Jon pointed out. Dan is not as stubborn as MariNo about it, that's for sure.

I may be missing something, but at this point, is aTm a better program than OBD? If it's the conference, I'd argue that B1G is just as good as SEC if not better. Why would someone smart like Lanning even entertain this move? Even MariNo wouldn't take it. I don't think we have anything to worry about, until Alabama or Georgia comes knocking.

One of the key differences this year is that Bo can run more than 4 yards to secure a first down if we need him to. So hopefully no Deja Vu for the remaining 3 games. Go Ducks!

He is right that the NCAA verdict "might not come in until the year 4050" and it's unlikely B1G will do much to damage their high-ranking team's chance at the playoff this year... Too bad, coz OBD can use some help, even if we win out.

Are we really not doing Civil War any more? Then we'd better win this year! But in all seriousness, I agree that playing Baylor and OKSt doesn't make sense. Why not swap with our in-state OSU?

Yah, it's hard to hate this guy and the CAL team when he basically assembled a team with OBD alums like Bill Musgrave and Peter Sirmon. Looking forward to another great game with OBD on top tomorrow!

I do think Bo will be a better NFL QB than Marcus. He definitely seems smarter running the game too and should command more respect that Marcus ever did. Would be nice to have two NFL teams to root for on Sundays again.

It's like putting EMU on OBD helmet?

Great Unis, similar idea to last week's. Other than the helmets, I think we should stick to the basic colors. I really believe that it will be less confusing to the our players. Every fraction of a second counts in a real game. The last thing we want is for Bo to have to figure out what our color of the day is when he is crambling...

You are absolutely right. Hope OBD is motivated to not lose the state again. This could be the last Civil War for a while. Who knows how many years of Beaver FB is left? Go Ducks!

Love this. So much history. Much better than the truck splash that we wore last week. Don't enjoy being right at all, but I did say that was a bad-luck uni... Go Ducks!

I hope we get to do B1G after dark and play at their bedtime! 7:30pm PT start time, baby!

Justin had another bad night and his team is now 2-3. Glad the blame has mostly fallen on the coach so far, but his high pay will make him a target soon if things don't turn around. Fingers crossed.

Way too many plays of running up the middle and seeing what happens. When we need 2-3 yards, why not running around the pile where there is a lot of open space? It's simple math right? Or am I too naive?

I hope Dan got the team fired up like he did against CO... This game will be all mental. We have the skills and talents to win for sure and will be expected to win big.

Totally agree with you there - the limping version of Bo last year had a lot more fight than this year's healthy version. Of course I understand he is trying to stay upright for NFL, but none of his runs showed effort or skill.

Dan was literally one play away from being hailed as a genius Saturday. If only Bo ran harder/better and got that 4th down conversion, or if only we made the field goal and won in OT... It's not 100% his fault. CFB is fun because it's imperfect. Everyone makes mistakes. It's too harsh to blame the loss all on Lanning, IMHO. I really hope we get a chance to play the puppies again this year in the pac12 championship game. Waiting another year is just about the worst outcome of this loss.

Thanks for fixing my memory lapse, sir. But I am still not a fan. But if OBD wins tomorrow, it will certainly help change my mind!

I hope Lanning uses this in his pre-game speech to fire out our D. We play for WINS!

Oh not the roadkill/truck splash one again! Memory serves, I believe this is what OBD wore to get beat by Furd two years ago when we were ranked #3... Hope it confuses the opponents more than our own. But the lid is very nice indeed!
