8 hours ago8 hr Administrator No. By any spreadsheet, nerd’s algorithm or Fat Joey’s Calzone and Sportsbook, the No. 5 Oregon Ducks‘ College Football Playoff opener looks like a formality dressed up as a national event. The Ducks open Saturday against No. 12 James Madison at Autzen Stadium as 21-point favorites — a primetime belt-to-buns hardly worth pundits’ coveted analysis. Oregon enters its inaugural home playoff ...Oregon Favored but Focused in Playoff Opener Two Sites: FishDuck and the Our Beloved Ducks forum, The only "Forum with Decorum!" And All-Volunteer? What a wonderful community of Duck fans!

Their goal is to embarrass us in front our fans, and the entire sports world.Remember how crappy it felt to lose to IU at home? If the score is even close, pundits will say we are all show, and no go….let’s destroy these guys.I want to see disciplined violence on defense, and fireworks on offense.

JMU took A(n) C(urious) C(ourse) to the PO, which was aided and abetted by a once-great basketball conference tie-breakers, and a choke in Charlotte. I do not believe it will matter tomorrow, but JMU was named after the guy, Jemmy, who his peers, including Franklin and Jefferson, considered to be the brightest of their bunch.Jemmy has the distinction of going 2-0 as a wartime president, and he also won the peace after both wars, a singular achievement for a president of the USA.In 1814, when the British sacked DC, Jemmy and his wife, Dolly, were among the last to evacuate the President's House. Dolly refused to leave the burning premises without taking the portrait of George Washington with them. I imagine Jemmy would be proud of his football team, and he would have been happy about knocking the PO out of Duke, but not wild over the moniker, Dukes. With all due respect to James, Dolly, and the Commonwealth of Virginia, Destroy the Dukes!
