Most EVER Playoff Pressure on Cristobal and Oregon Fans?
Great take Charles. Fan Pressure, the great reversal. We put it on the team with our belly aching earlier on, see Cal game and other under whelming wins. Now, having survived 9 games, the team has brought us into their boat with their #4 (soon to be #3 CFP ranking). Only, we do not see it as 1 - 0, we look at it as needing to go 5 - 0, which would entail beating a good Utah team twice in 3 weeks. "Always hard to beat a team twice." I "have to" DVR the games and start watching 1 1/2 hours after it starts. To watch live without being able to skip breaks would cause my Xanex to need a refill by half time. Everyone says if we win out, we're in. As our great friend is used to saying "not so fast my friend". An undefeated OK team gets in over us. Georgia only loses to Bama in the SEC CShip game, their both in. a 11 - 1 OSU's schedule will be tougher than ours in the end. I don't think Cinncy will pass us if we win out. So, the win-out-and-your-in anxiety will also hang over us until A) we lose, or B) some dominoes fall in front and behind us. I can also say, if we do lose another game, then we don't deserve to be in the CFP. Maybe the great equalizer for this team is their resiliency they have already gone thru with the injuries, slow starts, and the calmness they seem to posses when things seem to be going against them. P.S. With all the hype and expectations, if we go 4 - 1, and the 1 is the Pac 12 CShip, hello San Antonio? OUCH

How a Husky Fan Saw it
It's easy to be the leagues #1 pass defense when you can give up 300+ yards rushing. Why pass? Just ask Michigan and the Ducks.

Is It Time To Celebrate The Greatness Of Chris Petersen?
In six seasons he went: 34 - 20 in league play. 2 - 4 vs the Ducks. 2 - 4 in Bowl Games: winning a Heart of Dallas and Las Vegas Bowl; losing a Cactus, Peach (Nat'l semi), Fiesta and Rose. And gave us/them Coach Lake.

Let's save that 51 point spread for next year when their Legacy QB is at the helm and he can join his father in Autzen infamy.

Is the Playoff Committee Playing Bait and Switch or Perhaps Rope a Dope?
Win out with style points and we're in. MUCH easier said than done. And Ls for OSU, Big 10's & 12's champs would help. I doubt undefeated ACC passes us as there are no big W's in that conference.

Utah
As I recall, they learned that from us as either earlier that year, or the year before one of our backs did the same.

Calling All Optimists
Not yet. Haven't missed a CShip with the Ducks yet. Don't want to jinx the process. Tickets will be available after we cinch.

Desmond Howard Just Said That "Cincinnati Should Absolutely Be No.4"
Gameday will be very INTERESTING from Cinncy this weekend. Oregon trash talking will probably be epic. Hey Herb, scoreboard Oregon vs OSU

How Much Colleges Are Paying Former Coaches
These amounts are staggering. However, I don't think the article takes into account how a subsequent job mitigates what is paid vs what was owed. Per ESPN Dead Money (espn.com)

Athlon Always Does Well with Their Predictions, AND...
Hopefully at the end of the game the Ducks will be able to taunt with "SCOREBOARD".

Tell-Me, Tell-Me....Your BEST Husky Story!
At uw, 1968 game when Coach Woody kicked the game winning FG in the pouring rain. He missed the first attempt, but uw offsides and he hit the mulligan for a 3 - 0 win. The U of O section was in high school type bleachers behind the endzone. Horrible seats right up until Ken nailed his kick at us! BTW, after graduating in '72, my next game at Autzen was 10/22/1994, bleacher seats again. This time Kenny Wheaton ran right to us.

Because they got lucky in their other 4 games!

Wilner: "Lake Went Where he Shouldn't Have Gone"
Best part of the article, Wilner simulates Schill in stating "But for the moment, the arch-rivals are headed in different directions, and you don’t need a UW degree to see that."

Insulting EVERY UO Athlete: Cristobal Responds to Jimmy Lake
Not discounting last year, this is year 2. And, he "did win the North" last year. Me thinks he should be granted a lifetime contract for that.

Gut Punch: Speedster Reneges Verbal to Oregon
Can't blame him, home state, great track program and maybe their WR room isn't quite as crowded as ours. Better to lose at this position that so many others.
