  1. The big dogs in the SEC still have championship level defenses. Bama vs. UGA will be a great SECCG. But, the score might be 5-3 in 2 OT’s.
  2. The U is up 3-0 in the 3rd over Georgia Tech. Also, big day for Tre Benson at FSU. 200 yards rushing.
  3. There isn’t a fan base in D1 football that doesn’t melt down from time to time. The higher the expectations from fans, the bigger the melt downs. Just listen to the Paul Finebaum show and you’ll know what I’m talking about. A couple of years back I heard one caller tell Paul he had the paramedics show up and run him to the ER because he was having chest pains after Bama let Ole Miss jump out to a 21 point lead. Bama eventually came back but this dude got himself all worked up over a ball game. I guess it does mean more down there. I look at it this way. I made it through the 2015 Alamo Bowl, so I have built up quite an immunity mental strain caused by a football game.
  4. The season is still young, but when you have a reliable defense you don’t need to make desperate 4th down calls in your own end of the field.
  5. I read on Twitter from some folks who were there that he warmed up after Halftime and looked healthy. I think he was held out so that he would be ready for Washington and because DL knew that Stanford was done scoring for the day.
  6. Too bad they don’t give Heisman Trophies to TE’s. Bowers is certainly worthy.
  7. I think the Utes winning streak sans Cam Rising comes to an end in Corvallis. Beavis wins 20-10.
  8. In defense of some of these pundits, I will say that the “Ducks vs. Them” video hadn’t been released before they started making their comments. Once the trash talk videos were released everybody has been pretty silent. They’ve all decided to move on.
  9. I still say the SEC produces the national champion this year. They’ll find a way.
  10. He transferred to a conference with better defenses, but worse QB’s (especially his).
  11. It struck me that I have not heard much about Dont’e Thornton since he transferred to Tennessee. I remember being disappointed that we lost him and because I thought he would start opposite Troy Franklin and really make his mark this season. However, I also understood that he would be closer to his home in MD. Well, I looked up his stats and matched them with his two replacements (Holden and Bryant) and here are the results. (Note: I didn’t add Tez because he replaced Hutson, but he’s 15 for 203 yards, 3 TD’s). I think DL found some pretty good talent in the portal. Thornton - 7 for 89 yards, 0 TD’s Holden - 11 for 154 yards, 2 TD’s Bryant - 13 for 169 yards, 2 TD’s
  12. It’s simple, but at least they’re wearing green helmets instead of the white ones they wore in 2021. Also, Beavis dropped their uni combo for the Utah game on Friday night. It looks like they’re going with the Halloween peanut butter saltwater taffy look again
  13. Cool. I want to make a shirt that just says “Oregon” on the front and “Knowledge is Good……Emil Faber” on the back.
  14. I was telling somebody earlier this week that this year’s fuskie team reminds me of the 2010 Ducks team because of how they seem to score at will. However, the 2010 Ducks offense was foiled by none other than…..Tosh Lupoi.
  15. Washington hasn’t been tested yet this season and likely won’t be until the Ducks come to town. Their preseason schedule looked good on paper, but we’re finding out how underwhelming the BSU and MSU programs are. We both have what should be tune-up games this week. However, weird things can happen in Tucson and Palo Alto. At least they do when we show up. While uw has the advantage of their home field and the hype of College Gameday, Oregon has already been tested on the road in a hostile environment as well as having a huge hyped up week leading up to Colorado. My guess is uw opens up as a 2.5 point favorite.
  16. I wish Casey would have struck a more animated Heisman pose. He did kind of run like the Galloping Ghost last Saturday.
  17. I could see Oregon losing to Washington and then meeting them again in the PAC 12 CG if they only have one loss. If they beat them in Vegas then I could see 2 PAC 12 teams in the playoff. They could also put a one loss PAC 12 team in the playoff who doesn’t make it to Vegas. The loser of the CG would have to have 2 losses though. Bama has won the NC twice without being in the SECCG, so anything is possible.
  18. Great article. An alternative title could’ve read “Buffs Brought Receipts, But Ducks Weren’t Accepting Returns”. Anyway, it was a good performance. I wish Hunter could’ve played, but truth be told, it wouldn’t have mattered. Their players were outplayed and their entire coaching staff was out-coached. This has nothing to do with any individual coach. If you watch the game and analyze the situational play calls on both sides of the ball you will see that Oregon completely out-schemed them. They were chasing the entire game. My only critique would be the penalties. They would have killed a couple of scoring drives against better competition. I also hope DL doesn’t get too used to fake punts inside our own 20.
