The Kamikaze Kid

Is this a football game or a momentum ping pong match? 14-7 osu2.

osu2 sure looks like they're trying hard to figure out a way to lose this game.

OBD gets the Terminator version of osu2. The Horns get the 2nd and 20, 3rd and 18 penalty riddles version.

Sure would be nice to have our top receivers available when we play osu2 in the post season.

The longest yard team may be interested.

The announcers said that the final pick was out of character for them and yet it is exactly how the BIG Championship game ended.

Penn St gave up 3 points in the first half then 24 in the second. Ouch.

Bad time for a three and out.

Nice response by the Lions. Both offenses are waking up.

ND powers down the field for a TD.

Impressive 7 plus minute TD drive by the Lions.

Nice pick by PSU.

osu2 37-13 4 TOs 5 sacks 345 Passing

PSU 20-13 3 TOs 3 Sacks 245 Passing

Oregon's 2025 theme song. I'm calling it right here and now. More Moore Moore!

Honestly, I think the biggest culprit for this seeding fiasco is osu2. If they hadn't smacked themselves in the face so hard stepping on a rake against Michigan, they wouldn't have looked bad enough to be seeded eight.

"Hi Coach" "Welcome aboard. Now that you're on the team, let me introduce you to my zero star unrecruiting.concept." "Bye coach"

Intravenous De Milo is one hell of an album. Even better than Shark Sandwich.

Really loved seeing the D tighten up in the second half. Basketball season is going to be fun. Dan Fouts was at the game. They showed him on the scoreboard right after his Shout cameo!

If the Ducks can play some D they could pull this one off.

Sometimes your movie run into their movie. I remember the 1990 March Madness storyline of Loyolla Marimont. That team had their star player actually die on the court due to heart failure. The spunky team still made it to the madness, actually won a couple games and became America's favorite underdog story. That is until they ran into the UNLV machine that was mowing every team down by 20 plus points and that outcome was no different. That UNLV team went on to become one of the best college teams in history while Loyolla had to settle for a nice little human interest story. Sometimes it just is what it is.

Mary Ann vs Ginger may be one of the sneakiest mismatches in history. On the surface it's the girl next door (Dorothy) vs sultry movie star (Marilyn Monroe). The reality is a beauty pageant winner (Miss Nevada) and Miss America contestant vs a regular actress. In football terms Mary Ann vs Ginger would be like Boise St vs Oklahoma. Poor Ginger never had a chance!

I think to understand what happened, it is important to understand the situation the Ducks found themselves in. The one point win at home against the Buckeyes and an undefeated season along with the tosu2 collapse against UM made this game feel more even going in than it really should have. Lanning has been recruiting at a level nearly even with the Buckeyes for the last couple years but those guys were still freshman, redshirts and sophomore back ups heading into the game. the starters were mostly three and four star guys who portaled in while the Buckeyes were mostly 4-5 star seniors that rose up to starters after being in the program their entire careers. Big difference. Ohio State's talent level is so far ahead of everybody's this year I would compare it to going up against a prime Mike Tyson. If Mike shows up unmotivated, distracted and disengaged then you may have a chance of coming out with a victory and that's only if you're a top level fighter bringing your A game. If Mike's locked in and focused, you have no chance even if you yourself are an undefeated reigning champion. I think the what happened can be summed up by the Ducks met an over confident Buckeye team that thought their B game was enough the first time then brought their A game for the rematch. If Mike shows up feeling his mojo, then you'll soon be feeling the canvass even if you are the second best in the world. I think it's just that simple.

Moore is a five star guy that has many snaps under his belt. He also spent the last year learning Stein's system and Lanning's culture while backing up a Heisman finalist. I highly doubt there is anybody in the portal that would be able to pass him on the depth chart. Tez thinks he'll be a Heisman candidate as well. I think Moore and many other four and five star guys that have been waiting their turn will take over the starting spots and grow into a solid tough team by season's end. I think a shaky start with closer than expected games the first half of the season is to be expected. I also think the team gels and looking as dangerous as this year's team by the end is a probable outcome. Ohio St is having "that" year much like the fuskies last year. They will come somewhat down to earth next year even if they have a similar record. I think next year Lanning finally coaching mostly his guys may be the most entertaining season yet. Can't wait!

Maybe I should clarify my statement a bit. I meant that it's impressive that members of rival fan bases can stay civil with each other while interacting on this board. I have no idea how I'd behave on an UGA board interacting with a fuskie fan!
