I always like the white helmets, but I think a yellow stripe down the middle would have matched the jerseys.

This article is just small piece of a larger narrative that the SEC and Notre Dame homers are pushing for their own playoff status. It’s a campaign to influence the playoff committee. The more they beat the drum about Oregon’s “weak” schedule the more everybody starts to believe it. They’re counting on Oregon losing one more game, so they can get them pushed out of the playoffs and replaced by a 3-loss SEC team. It makes it easier to justify Notre Dame’s spot. It’s also their way of making the B1G look like a weak conference. Want to see proof? Listen to the take from B1G alum Joey Galloway.

I know most people would just leave this site after receiving a response like this, but I’m not one to back down. If you can’t back this post up with examples then I officially call you out for being full of steer excrement (I’m being very polite). I provide accurate analysis. I rarely throw out opinions that aren’t backed up with fact. Hell, I was dead accurate about my analysis of today’s game. Oh, and BTW, I didn’t make one remark during the Oregon v Iowa Discussion Thread. We won by 2 points. A safety caused by a punter’s mistake.

Is it griping or “pondering”. I thought we were welcome to ponder without being berated.

I’m actually more worried about playing Minnesota than USuC or Fuskies. OBD is on short rest and they don’t know the Gophers like they do the other two teams. USuC is athletic, but a healthy Duck team can exploit their defense. The Fuskies showed their vulnerabilities against Wisconsin tonight, but I also think the Badgers are gaining confidence knowing that Fickell is coming back next season.

What part didn’t you like? Me saying that injuries have depleted our offense or that Minnesota has a chance of beating us at home coming off a bye week when we’re on short rest? I’m sure the Fuskies thought that they would “be OK for Wisconsin” today.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but with no Bryant, Sadiq or Moore we are Iowa with a better punter. Now we get a short week against another team coming off a bye. I see a trap game against Minnesota. Our defense will soon buckle under the pressure of carrying the offense on their back. .

Herbstreit was darn near perfect in his prediction on College Gameday. He even had the fact that one team would have 15 points. However, he picked the wrong team to win. Oregon is definitely now a B1G team with that offensive performance.

Absolutely. It’s an “Iceman” game. Both teams will play ice cold and wait for the other to make a mistake.

Texas Tech tried to get a TD instead of a FG right before halftime inside BYU’s 10 yard line. They didn’t get it so it’s still 13-0. Let’s see if this comes back to bite them. Tech’s defense is awesome so I can see why they went for the TD.

Typical bye week hex. Defense will have to pitch a shutout. I don’t think the passing game was going to be really effective due to the weather, but now the threat isn’t even there if Sadiq sits out.

A few empty sections at Beaver Stadium and more Hoosiers fans in the stands than they’ve ever had. Happy Valley is very sad today.
