Six minutes into the Miami aTm game, Miami has had two three and outs, a blocked punt, and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Mario, do your teams underachieve? Hot Fuzz Yarp GIF - Hot Fuzz Yarp Nod - Discover & Share GIFs TENOR.COM Click to view the GIF

After the first half, Colorado's MVP is Nebraska's quarterback. Three turnovers, two of which we're well inside Nebraska territory and resulted in Colorado's only 10 points. Also, Colorado's secondary isn't looking that great to me. Bo is going to pick those guys apart.

My wife and I were lucky enough to live in Australia for about 3 years in the mid-2000s. We really grew to like Aussie Rules Football. We would watch the Sydney Swans and Illawarra Dragons. One funny cultural difference that we loved was that fans wouldn't yell go swans or go dragons. They would yell go the swans or go the dragons. So in honor of Oregon's two Aussie punters, go the Ducks!

I see a lot of logic in playing your 2nd and 3rd string quarterbacks for nearly a quarter each under real game conditions. Those players need as many quality reps as they can get, and they won't get them just by handing off the ball for predictable garbage time up the middle runs. There is also an irony in accusing Oregon of intentionally running up the score against Portland State. I remember, in the 1980s, when NFL bound Neil Lomax played for Portland State. His coach would leave him in for the entire game, leading to multiple games where PSU scored over 90 points, and one or two games where they scored over 100. Maybe Karma doesn't have a time limit.

After watching the entire game, I am not worried about the defense in the slightest at this point. They gave up seven points and 200 yards. I'm not concerned about the lack of sacks, especially in a first tuneup game like this. Georgia's defense doesn't get many sacks. Their defense is not designed to prioritize sacks, but rather to disrupt and prevent gaining yards. And, as was stated earlier in this thread, Oregon's defense was likely not unveiling more complex defensive packages in an easy win game so that Texas Tech doesn't have a full understanding of what's in store for them next week. Go Ducks!

I tuned into this game to watch a TCU beat down of Colorado (as I've said before, I'm not a Deion Sanders fan). But wow, what a game. I'm not even mad.

Make no mistake, I won't be rooting for UCLA anytime soon. But Chip Kelly was instrumental in making the Ducks what they are now. This article shows a new, happier side of Chip Kelly. And that makes me happy. There's a big difference with UCLA football coach Chip Kelly, and everyone notices it WWW.LATIMES.COM Chip Kelly enters his sixth season at UCLA embracing a new perspective and culture in...

I'm glad you get to settle back into a nice routine after such a scary storm. I'm tuning into the Utah game too. They are a Class Act.

I think they should up their game and put those on garbage trucks too.

I think it will help us--whether we're cast in the Plucky Underdog narrative for several years (America loves an underdog even though we're not with respect to USC IMHO), and hopefully the established football Powerhouse narrative after that.

Yeah, you run the numbers and decide whether sling or fubo is your best option. I've only used both for free one week trials over the last couple years so I can watch Ducks games played on the Pac-12 network. Based on the things my family wants to watch, I think my wife and kids would seriously consider killing me if I ditched YouTube TV for another service "just" so I could watch Ducks games ( they just don't understand the finer things in life.........).

sorry, didn't see your first reply until now. I meant fubo is your best option if you want to watch Pac-12 games for the next year. After the Pac-12 network goes bye-bye next summer, YouTube TV is very likely your best streaming option for watching B1G games ( and in my opinion, for a lot of other reasons as well).

No, YouTube TV doesn't show Pac-12 network games.

If you want to see all of the Pac-12's final season games this year, I would suggest Fubo. Once Oregon migrates to the B1G, I would suggest switching to YouTube TV. Among other things, YouTube TV allows unlimited Cloud DVR storage (although all recordings are erased 9 months later but automatically re-recorded if they are replayed at a later date), access to the B1G Network and any other channel B1G teams would play on for no extra cost, and a feature that allows you to have highlights play automatically after a recorded game has been finished.

As I really don't like USC (no personal offense intended, Fred Flintstone), I tend to gravitate toward any media pundit who downplays their potential. But at this point, I file Paul Finebaum's opinions in the "not worth listening to" category. But hey, given how much he talks, he's entitled to his two broken clock accurate calls per day.

I thought his comments were pretty classy. I expected trash talk coming from someone being coached by Deion Sanders. I personally didn't mind the "we comin" part. I think he pretty much had to assert some confidence going forward in his position. And, "we waitin"!

Up until now, it always angered me. We typically had to play a perfect season to climb past the teams that were gifted with, say top five rankings at the beginning of the season. Now, with a 12 team playoff coming, I think I kind of like it. As others have said here, hopefully it will motivate the team and raise more eyebrows.

Jon, for what it's worth, I think those are wise words. I don't like them, but they are wise. I've spent quite a few number of years learning that personal preference and reality are two different things..... and that life is more workable when we let go of preferences and find the best ways we can to deal with reality.

I would imagine it will closely resemble a reality show with the Kardashians. I have never watched a reality show with the Kardashians, but I've seen enough promos to know that it's an egotistical train wreck. Sounds a lot like Deion Sanders to me.

I have nothing but respect for Utah football. I will miss playing them, but I will also be relieved that we don't have to play them.

I've never trusted guys named Jeff who spelled their names Geoff.

Another reason that it's a shame this is the Pac-12's last season. When was the last time we had so many top 25 teams? Oregon, Utah, Oregon state, Washington, USC, UCLA. And then Washington state with the perennial potential to spoil any Pac-12 team season. Then again, the carnage these teams will wreak against each other this year will likely end up with the same result it's had every other year. Anyone right of the West Coast will say the Pac-12 is weak. It's so-called best teams can't even handle Beavers, or Cougars, or Bruins. As others have said, maybe Oregon joining the B1G is the only way they'll get the national respect they deserve.

I honestly think Nix doesn't need more polish. If he gets more, that would be great. He definitely needs to have a healthy right ankle so he can firmly plant that right foot and get his completion percentage back to that 70% plus mark and throw those accurate long bombs , and solid o-line protection. I'm worried about the backup quarterback situation and quarterbacks moving forward. Ty Thompson obviously hasn't looked good, but then he's only had one year where he hasn't played under Mario's no development coaching staff. It looks like we have some incredible talent coming in, but obviously no one with a level of experience that can create a Field General like Bo out of the gates. Then again, this is all business as usual in college football. The great experienced players graduate, we get new players in, and we wait to see what happens.

Yikes, nothing more inspiring than a rural White rap song about chainsaws. I made it to 44 seconds. I am not proud of that.

JDuck, I would really like to live in your universe!
