Pac-12 refs and their special way of doing things.

How is it possible for Pac-12 refs to regularly be so bad.

Charles - I hesitate commenting because I am afraid at times I ride too close to the line. And as you know, on occasion have crossed over a bit to the dark side -- albeit, unintentionally. I'm just grateful for the forum that you have created. It is your sandbox and how you manage it, is 100% your call. Clearly, you are doing something very well here as evidenced by the many great comments that people that post. Thanks for all the work, money, and dedication you put into this Duck labor-of-love.

That's a great line. I wish I'd thought of that one a few years back.

Travis Dye who?

I can't remember ever watching a game where we scored seven touchdowns --- and all 7 were rushing TDs.

265 yards passing and 257 yards rushing... so far. What an impressive and balanced attack.

Yes. And it was just totally unnecessary because the ball had been tipped and had passed the receiver. But it's a lot easier for me to make the judgment call as I'm sitting here on my sofa, rather than the kid down there on the field trying to make a play.

I cannot believe I was remotely worried about this game. Thankfully, my prediction was "just a bit outside" --- as in miles outside.

I be grateful if he just looks like has stepped onto a football field before

Exactly. It's almost like a completely different team in that regard from last week. That's just great coaching.

Defense caused for 2 huried passes on the 1st and 2nd downs, then a tip and pick. Now that was just impressive.

I was just re-reading the definition of targeting, and I don't see how the refs could have called it any other way.

Dang refs again!

You are correct. I just got a little bit excited there

Am I the only one who thinks the targeting call on Manning was the correct call?

UA actually has a very respectable offense. But yeah... we've had some big defensive breakdowns.

An impressive half of Duck football, with the exception of a few defensive breakdowns. But UA has a very respectable offense. And the Ducls are a much more disciplined team this week. Last week we had 14 penalties for the game. This week we only have 2 penalties at the half.

Thanks for the correction. Whew!

Whew... thank you for the correction.

What a stupid play. And now we lose him for half of the UCLA game.

Mario may likely be the least popular person in Miami tonight.

Apparently. His QB has so far thrown 36/47, 454 yards, & 3 TDs

Oregon's bye week coming up next week could not be better timed. Unfortunately, UCLA has a bye week next week as well.

In my humble opinion, the only territorial/border change Arizona needs to make is to extend the border down south about 70 miles to the Gulf of California. Arizona would really appreciate some ocean front property.
