Has Oregon ever played that far east at night? Playing at Penn State will be very difficult. Not only for the noise, but also for the fight and long bus ride from Harrisburg. Getting back home won’t be a picnic either. Washington is always a difficult venue, but it’s a short flight, so the team can handle all Friday pre-game activities in Eugene before jetting up to Seattle.

Arkansas loves their offense under Petrino. They may give him a second turn at running their program if they can’t lure Rhett Lashley away from SMU. Gus is also a possibility but I doubt he would come back to head coaching. Taking the Florida job is like being married to Liz Taylor. The media will be a constant presence in your life, you will go through 2-3 years of hell and end up with severe anxiety, but in the end you will be paid handsomely to leave quietly. However, your reputation and self esteem will be in the gutter. In other words, it’s a perfect job for Kiffin.

I read somewhere that by game’s end Illinois had lost a total of six of their ten DB’s to injury.

Their offense is good. Their defense is giving up close to three TD’S a game. Although, I think Michigan State’s offense is much improved from last season.

The Gameday set will be set up on the Old Main lawn according to this article. It’s quite a walk from the stadium parking area. https://gopsusports.com/news/2025/09/20/espns-college-gameday-returns-to-happy-valley-for-penn-state-oregon-showdown

This adds a whole new wrinkle to my travel plans. I was going to show up in the afternoon. Now I’m thinking about showing up before 9:00 AM. For those who have been to this show when it has come to Autzen, is it worth the effort to see it?

I’m glad it’s at Autzen. Indiana is tough at home.

So far, Oregon has done what they were expected to do. The Oklahoma State game was an anomaly. It looked like a great win but the Cowboys showed their true colors last night. Next week will be a great test in a hostile environment. I hope Oregon doesn’t start slow. Playing catch-up in Beaver Stadium is a tall task.

No turnovers forced. No sacks. Murphy is getting rid of the ball quickly though.

Classic trap game. Beavis came to play football today. Oregon has Penn State on their minds.

It might have something to do with the 10:00 AM start.

Helfrich was hilarious in his critique of Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s throwing style as he was underhand and limp-wrist throwing t-shirts into the crowd.

I’m all for calling it the “War of Northern Aggression “ since Eugene is south of Corvallis.

Ducks 31-13 1 Turnover 1 Sack 203 Yards Passing Too much looking ahead and too much rest for regular starters makes this game uncomfortable.

This isn't the first time Dabo has done this. He took a call from a dude named Tyler from Spartanburg on his radio show and went on a diatribe about how "the expectation is greater than the appreciation". Long story short, he thinks Clemson fans still need to be lobbing roses at him for his past success instead of expecting championships every year. Now he goes off about his great record and how he will move on if they don't think his record is good enough. This is Power 4 football where coaches make eight figures per year and are expected to win. Look at what happened to Ed Orgeron. Fired a season and a half after winning the national championship. Clemson doesn't owe Dabo anything except a paycheck for doing his job.

Great article. Sounds like it was a good ruse by the "Letter of the O". However, they should have taken them to the Dexter Lake Club for a night of drinks and dancing.

I say we match the white out. Go with these jerseys but with white pants and the granite countertop helmets they’re wearing against Beavis (no gold wings, though).

I like the helmets as well, but only because they look like my kitchen countertops.

Minot State is coached by an Oregon native and former Civil War winning OSU Beaver QB named Ian Shields. He was also the OSAA player of the year in 1988.

Deion approved. I hope they work out better than the Cal uniforms from 2016. Truth be told, if they stomp Beavis nobody will ever remember them.

Troy Franklin is also having somewhat of a coming out party right now in Indianapolis. He’s leading Denver in receiving so far, he has a TD and an 11 yard rush.

Thanks Charles. My first win since I joined. I’m hoping this continues to be a year of “firsts”.

The funny thing is Notre Dame likely drives down and kicks the winning FG if A&M doesn’t get their KO return called back.

I had a friend go to Miami/Notre Dame during week 1. She said the DJ that Miami uses had the volume turned up to unbearable levels. They weren’t allowed to play music while the ball is in play, so he kept it on until Notre Dame’s center moved his hand to snap the ball. Miami had the benefit of the music stopping while they had the ball.

Kirby can’t be happy. Heupel loves his new QB, Aguilar is thankiing the football gods and Nico is cursing them.
