  1. College football is awesome but some parts of the modern era not so good. We give a coach very good money and he does one year and out. Zero loyalty.

     

    If we don't make the Rose Bowl may have some key players opt out of the game. Used to be you went to a bowl game all the players showed up and it was a good time for everybody. Oh well ... not much you can do.

  2. How about back to the Civil War but with disclaimer. THE CIVIL WAR (All naming provided in the Oregon vs Oregon State football game, Inc. is provided for entertainment purposes only and does not constitute a connection to the American Civil War any other global conflicts of any kind and any person or entity unless otherwise expressly specified. 
     

    No warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding the accuracy, adequacy, completeness, legality, reliability, or usefulness of any information, either isolated or in the aggregate pertaining to the actual original naming of the football version of the Civil War is provided “as is.” All warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied interpretations by overly sensitive people, freedom from protests by people with too much time on their hands or those that think the names Ducks and Beavers are cruel to animals, are disclaimed.
     

    Changes may be periodically made to the information; no notice is required with respect to any changes; and changes may or may not be incorporated into the actual football game.)

  3. OK ... problem solved. I went into Thesaurus.Com and typed in the sentence "Oregon plays in the Civil War this weekend." The first three options with changing Civil were:

     

    "Oregon plays in the Civilian Bowl this weekend."

    "Oregon plays in the Domestic Bowl this weekend."

    "Oregon plays in the Governmental Bowl this weekend."

     

    All great options so maybe we create a poll and go with the winner? I like the Governmental Bowl. We can put a large tax on the tickets and give the fans nothing new in return. LOL

  4. I think the Oregon D turned a corner and we are going to see a continuation of this excellent play against the Beavers. In the book Mastery the author talks about how improvement many times does not come gradually but makes a sudden leap forward. My take is this is what took place with the Ducks and they are getting the feel for playing together in this new defense. The Ducks have a lot of talented players that have bought into learning and they will continue to reap the rewards of their hard work.

     

     Next in line after the Beavers is USC.  An impressive showing against a prolific SC Offense will have elite recruits lining up to play for Lanning. Man the future looks bright for this program.

  5. I think if Thompson starts he is going to surprise us with a good performance. I think he has talent and given the opportunity he will get in flow and make good things happen. He will have time to throw thanks to a great OL and his receivers are going to be open. When they get a little space TT will utilize his 5 star arm and zip it in before the defender knows what hit him. I can see it now!
