First things first. When some d-bag starts talking to me about “natty’s” I always ask what position they played in their team’s winning of their “natty”. When they mumble something incoherent as they usually do, I ask them how they contributed. I will give some level of credit to a season ticket holder or booster, but I typically despise “jock-riders” and I let them know. If it’s a USC OR fusky fan I remind them that all championships were mythical before 1998. Meaning, they were awarded based on the opinions of media voters. After 1998 they were awarded via a championship game. USC won in 2004 but it was vacated, so they only have a mythical AP championship from that year. When they try to legitimize mythical championships then I use last season as justification for Oregon’s first national championship in football since an official selector voted us number one. Remember to remind all fusky fans that they only have 2/7 of a national championship. They were one of five teams who claimed the 1960 championship and one of two teams who claimed it in 1991.

It’s become so prevalent that they made a series on Hulu where it’s the basis of the whole show. Oregon has done it multiple times (Chad Powers not included). Byron Marshall did it twice in the same season. Once in the national championship game against Ohio State and once against South Dakota. Both happened on long TD’s. Luckily, he barely got across the goal line in the Ohio State game. He was skilled but not very intelligent.

Same with the Pom-Pom’s (or “shakers” as the SEC folks say). The short folks are definitely at a disadvantage.

The uniform combinations are actually decided in the Spring. Below is an excerpt from an ESPN article about the subject. "Once players have finalized their choices with Farr's assistance, he will lay out the scripting in a look book and show head coach Dan Lanning before the spring game for approval. Finalizing the looks well in advance of the season helps Farr organize the high volume of inventory he has to line up. Going off-script is rare, but not impossible. Two years ago, with undefeated Colorado visiting for a highly anticipated matchup, the Ducks changed to a different uniform combination." ESPN.com'Our tradition to is to be untraditional': Inside the lif...Throughout the past two and a half decades, Oregon has pushed the envelope when it comes to uniforms.

This is the key phrase right here. You can wear an old dirt brown and yellow shirt from the Mario era as long as you show up instead of selling your tickets to opposing fans. The amount of Ohio State fans at Autzen last year was pretty bad.

South Carolina does this. They have white towels with the home and opposing team logos printed on them that they give out before every game. Of course, they have to uphold their reputation for having the wildest pre-game opening with the playing of "Sandstorm". Those towels play a huge part in the overall atmosphere throughout the game. To think that the towel waving craze started in the 70's when a bunch of drunken yokels from Pittsburgh raided their own linen closets at the suggestion of Myron Cope.

It's been sunny and dry in Bloomington all week. They'll probably get a teste of the weather during their Friday practice. Oregon will be wearing yellow.

Everett is another great choice. I think Ahmad Rashad would be a good choice as well. Much to my surprise, he's never been guest picker. I believe Prichard is in the pre-season, but he doesn't have a game on Saturday and doesn't play until Sunday evening.

I'm going with NBA Sixth Man of the Year Payton Pritchard. Corso would be a sentimental pick, but He may be tired of traveling.

I think Dante should wait a year if there is a chance he goes to the Jets, Bears, Browns, or Raiders. Those seem to be teams where QB's go to die. This gives him a better opportunity to go to teams with aging starters who have had some measure of success. The best scenario would be if the Cowboys or Rams have bad seasons and get a chance at a high draft pick. Dallas has the Packers' first round picks for the next two seasons, so they have the bargaining chips to move to the #1 pick if they think he's their future. They should think about drafting Prescott's replacement and let them learn under him for a season or two.

I don’t know much about New Jersey except to stay away from this place.
