Tulane - I Thank You...
I'm sorta, kinda, pretty sure, that any further comments from USC homers about USC should have been in the CFP, is now beyond 6ft underground and is officially dead. Tulane ripped their hearts out. How sweet it is.

Tulane - I Thank You...
Thank you for this very, very, nice New Year's gift. And it's so fun to know that Utah beat them twice this season as well.

Herbert - “The Ultimate Competitor”
From Yale School of Medicine: "If you’ve ever had a rib or rib cartilage fracture, you know that this type of injury causes severe pain. A hallmark of a rib fracture is that a deep breath makes the pain worse. Pain from a fractured rib can even impede your breathing, leading to a chest infection. The usual time taken for complete recovery from a rib and/or cartilage fracture is approximately three to four months… but full recovery can take as long as six months. Refraining from strenuous activities and taking adequate rest can speed up the healing time." Anyone who has had a fractured rib(s) or cartilage knows how horribly painful this injury. When I cracked three ribs, just the thought of someone touching my chest makes me wince. It hurt like hell just to breath. How Justin got back out there the following week, and every week thereafter, is beyond me.

Some SC Delusional Humor & More Fun
The contorted and inverted attempt at logic here just tells me that USC fans are doing serious drugs down there in So Cal.

Herbert - “The Ultimate Competitor”
Thanks so much for sharing this. When I saw the length of the video, nearly 27 minutes, I figured I'd watch about 5 or so minutes of it. Nearly 27 minutes later, I wanted about 27 minutes more. Just a tremendous video about a QB who, IF they can keep him moderately healthy, will likely go down in NFL as one of the Top-5 QBs of all time.

Men's Basketball: 12/31/22 Oregon State @ Ducks (Ducks WIN 77-68)
"192-168. The first meeting between the teams took place in 1903." Are you saying that they've played each other in basketball 360 times in 120 years? I'm asking because if they played each other an average of 2 times per season for 120 years, that would be 240 games.

Fiesta Bowl Game Thread: Michigan vs. TCU
Not the prettiest game I've ever seen, but certainly exciting and anything but boring. And somewhere during this game, it appears a track meet broke put.

Fiesta Bowl Game Thread: Michigan vs. TCU
Michigan has had the ball 1st and goal from inside the five yard line on 3 different occasions. And they've come away with only 6 points. TCU defense has been exceptional.

Steve Sarkisian in Hot Water
It's really quite shocking. I just don't understand why the three of them just couldn't get along.
-
Fiesta Bowl Game Thread: Michigan vs. TCU
Their defense has been shockingly impressive. Just locking it down.

The Holiday Bowl Was Great!
No NCAA game, let alone a bowl game, should ever be played again at that baseball stadium. No wonder the Chargers left Sand Diego.

Fiesta Bowl Game Thread: Michigan vs. TCU
To me, TCU just looks like they really are 'that good'
-
Fiesta Bowl Game Thread: Michigan vs. TCU
Even without the Pick-6, TCU is just looking so impressive early... both their defense & offense. They nearly dug themselves a terrible early hole, but their defense rocked Michigan at the goal line. TCU up 14-0 early

Steve Sarkisian in Hot Water
I miss "7-W Cutty" at Washington... and those three consecutive 7-6 seasons he had there. He done great at Texas the though... 5-7, and 8-5. He's almost averaging his magical average of 7 wins per season.
-
Steve Sarkisian in Hot Water
7-W Cutty Sark went completely bat-crap-crazy for a moment there... went from 0-100 mph in nothing flat. I'm just glad he didn't blow out his one of his carotid arteries... or for that matter, that one of his eyeballs didn't pop out.

Justius Lowe Impressing Coaches ALREADY
I love 3 star recruits like Lowe... and Justin Herbert and Marcus Mariota.

Camden Lewis Actually SAVED the Game
All I know is that Lewis had one of the most accurate kicking seasons for any Duck kicker in program history. 14-16 FGs 64-64 PATs

Pac-12 Bowl Thread for UCLA Game
That's unfortunate. The Pac12 was very close to being 4-1

Cheering for Huskies: I Just Can't Do It
Exactly. My first Duck game ever was when I was a kid in 1973. Oregon v UW @ Autzen. Montlake Mutts 56 - Oregon 0. It's seemed to go on like that almost for about forever. Until about the time "The Play" happened.

Cheering for Huskies: I Just Can't Do It
This line of thinking really warms my Husky Hating Heart.

Cheering for Huskies: I Just Can't Do It
Your logic is fair and reasonable. But for me, this is where logic is overruled by my utter dawg disdain.
-
Cheering for Huskies: I Just Can't Do It
I can't stand the Willamette River Rats as much as the next guy, but I was still able to pull for them to win their bowl game. But no way I can do it for the Montlake Mutts.

Cheering for Huskies: I Just Can't Do It
For me, I'm going to consider this to be Socratic logic at its finest! I feel so much better and at peace now 😉. Thank you, Charles!

Cheering for Huskies: I Just Can't Do It
As much as I love to root for the Pac-12, especially during the bowl season, the Huskies are my one exception. I just can't do it.
