ESPN FPI has Texas an Overwhelming Favorite!
Didn’t we hear how deep and tough the SEC is this year and then their top teams started dropping like flies to .500 teams and the SEC’s best team took 8 OT to beat Georgia Tech?!!! Respect everyone, fear no one!

QUAAACK Oregon Lands Elite Defensive Lineman Bott Mulitalo
Keep bringing in the beasts up front! I’m sure Bott loved what he saw last night…

No. 6 Miami Loses to Syracuse 42-38!
To be fair, I think the poster is saying that they could have hired DC Lanning instead of MC. The question is - would Lanning have even been on their hiring radar? Seems like the U likes to hire their own or make a big splash (like USC). All I can say, on behalf of Duck fans everywhere, THANK YOU MIAMI, FOR TAKING MC OFF OUR HANDS!!!! (Addition by subtraction - or, in this case, should we say exponents by subtraction?)

So...How Does This Win Make You Feel?
I was really excited/relieved to see the offense clicking again after the much needed bye. Tez will be a huge asset in the B1G Championship Game and playoffs so it was good to see him out there contributing and having a good time. The offensive line did a terrific job blocking and our running backs ran with authority. I was really impressed with the defensive coaching/playcalling against the mutts. Loved the delayed and run blitzes. The players played with discipline and everyone did their assignment. Our defensive line is amazing (10 SACKS in ONE GAME…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?)!!!’ If they stay healthy, they are unblockable. Like the announcers said - who are you going to double team, leaving 2-3 other athletic freaks with 1:1 blocking?). The future is bright and hopefully this is a sign that Oregon is peaking heading into the playoffs, with our spot clinched against the mutts.

Does Ohio State Have to Fire Day Today?
Unless Day wins the national championship this season, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ohio State fires him after this season. The expectations in Columbus are sky high (even Buckeye legend Kirk Herbstreit moved away because he couldn’t deal with the fans). Day looks miserable (perhaps he’s just a miserable person) but it could be doing him a favor. That pressure cooker can’t be good for his health.

Does Ohio State Have to Fire Day Today?
IIRC, Nebraska did that and hasn’t been the same since.

Oregon vs. Washington GameDay Thread...Join Us!
Dante Moore looked very comfortable and operated the offense extremely well. He has an extremely quick release and throws a really nice ball. He needed to work on reading defenses and making good decisions. Hope is able to take advantage this year.

Oregon vs. Washington GameDay Thread...Join Us!
Not impressed with Oregon’s downfield coverage on the last series before the half. Need to tighten up the coverage. D-like and run defense has been excellent.

Oregon vs. Washington GameDay Thread...Join Us!
I love the delayed and run blitzes by the defense. Great playcalling. It has UW on its heels.

Does Ohio State Have to Fire Day Today?
How far has Chip fallen? Didn’t think he could go any lower after his NFL firings and then UCLA. 10 points against Michigan at home with the athletes he has at his disposal?

Oregon vs. Washington GameDay Thread...Join Us!
Defense didn’t look great on that drive but they held in the redzone. Hopefully they make some adjustments.

Oregon vs. Washington GameDay Thread...Join Us!
Oregon’s uniforms look like the Raiders. Hope they play better than the Raiders. Off to a good start. The offense looks much sharper after the bye.

Stunning! Michigan Beats Ohio State 13-10, Oregon to Face Penn State in B1G Championship!
LOL. Can’t wait to see the osu2 fan reactions, if they lose to Michigan, again, and miss the B1G championship game.

Thanksgiving - What Are You Thankful For This Year?
“I Lock crap Down” (Had to try…it worked! Guess we know one thing Charles and the other mods is grateful for this year…)

Oregon Gets Alabama in Players Era Championship
We will see. The SEC certainly wasn’t better than the current B1G last year, as evidenced by the playoff results.

What Is Mad Man Dan Cooking Up Next?
Can someone please get him a good cast iron pan for filet mignon? It would be funny to arrange Chef Ramsay to show up at the Lanning house, with TV cameras, while Coach Lanning is preparing his steak.

What Is Mad Man Dan Cooking Up Next?
I believe another reason Coach Lanning is practicing and using “trick plays” is to keep the players excited and engaged during a LONG season. As you pointed out, he’s getting defensive and offensive lineman involved in these plays and, if you watch the players on the sideline, they are jumping up and down watching their teammates get the opportunity to get the ball and make a play. It’s an another way to break up the monotony of a long season.

Best New Rivalries Thanks to Re-Alignment
Texas-Georgia? With DeBour taking Bama to mediocrity, perhaps it’ll be Texas competing with Georgia for the top of the SEC year in and year out. They certainly have two of the most talented rosters in college football.
-
Forget Thanksgiving: It is Husky HATE Week!
I believe that Coach Lanning said in a radio interview that the team would have practice tomorrow morning. He was planning to have people over his house for Thanksgiving but wasn’t even sure who and what the plans were. The man is focused on one thing! Celebrate Thanksgiving during the bye weekend or after the season.

Are AD's Getting More Patient with Coaches?
This. Especially since the ADs know what's coming with additional expenses for athletes.

ESPN "Official" Press Release :')
LOL. They should just black out ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN NEWS (and any other ESPN channels) with that caption on the screen.

Great Game for Bucky Irving!
Bucky was another player that I didn’t completely appreciate until he was gone (perhaps I was too busy appreciating Bo).
-
"Just Win. Baby!" "Fuhgeddaboudit!
This. I’d much rather the team have been challenged in tight games and have won (vs. lose). They have confidence that they will prevail, in the end (vs. any doubt), as they have every time in the past. Go Ducks!!!
-
Bo is the Heart and Soul of the Broncos
You should go tell that to Auburn fans. LOL. (The only place there he hasn’t won. Coincidence?)

Buckeyes Can Wait: Ducks Hungry for Revenge Against Washington
You know what would really be funny (and a slap in the face to the Huskies) - if Oregon sits their starters because our spot in the B1G and playoffs are already guaranteed (just like NFL teams do).
