U of O ranked #1 in the AP in football...true or flukey?

Bring on the Huskies!

The Huskies defense is going to allow about 865 total yards in the first half alone, they are just awful... Haha and honestly I think Lawrence Phillips could do a better job of pass protection than the UW O-Line... (That's right, I made a Steve Young reference...)

ANNNND Locker's out for the game now, hahahaha I'm sure Chip will take pity and just focus on a grid out running game....

Since UW is comming to Autzen this weekend, here is a little video for OTF and DTR.

If you want to live in the past... At least we have old videos of when we won something worthwhile:

How about last years game.
Interestingly, neither of those two quarterbacks will be playing this year.

Well at least we have one thing you don't:

(I like how I say we, like I actually went there, or have even watched a whole football game this year...)

I bet the Ducks use their backup QB too. Maybe even the 3rd string guy like in the New Mexico game.

When the Civil War comes up, OSU fans might point out that they are the Oregon team with the tougher schedule...by far. Interesting...

This play is called "start slow, let 'em think they have a chance, then crush their hopes and dreams."

Washington State has the second toughest schedule, so the Beav's must be at least as good as the Coug's.

It certainly wasn't the Ducks intention to have a weak nonconference schedule. Tennessee is a good SEC program that just happens to be down this year. New Mexico was always a winnable game, but the Ducks certainly didn't expect them to be as bad as they are. Portland State was only scheduled because of a last minute cancellation by another team.

The Ducks have historically scheduled good nonconference teams. Next year they are traveling to Texas to play the Mad Hatter's team.

Ducks are getting their biggest challenge at Cal...only leading by 2 pts in the 4th: 15-13!

And that's a final, 15-13. Tough gutty drive to run out the clock and seal the victory.

Ten wins, no losses. Great season so far. One more home game against AZ, and then a trip to face the deflated Beavers. Great chance for an undefeated season.

A 2003 Range Rover is the best the Ducks can do for their Heisman candidate? You would think uncle Phil could afford better

Actually seems like a story about nothing, but come on James, everyone is watching every move. You need to think about how it looks.

Anyone know what Joey Heisman was rolling around in when he was at UO?

Not sure, but I'm pretty sure the engine was fueled by hype and future disappointment...

Hmm, I've never heard of that fuel, so I had to google it. This is what I came up with . . .

What, that kid? He wasn't even on scholarship...

I almost made the same joke myself to be perfectly honest... Who would want to be a #1 overall pick this year with the impending lockout anyway? (and he would have been good if he had any protection and/or his WRs had more than stumps for hands... but thats what you get for staying loyal I guess)

Oh boy, you guys just crack me up!

Seriously though, it really does seem like this is a non-story. I mean, a 2000 mustang upgrading to a 2003 range rover? Heck, I drive a nicer car than that!

But, you never know what the NCAA will latch on to. Interesting that it took the NCAA about a million years to investigate Cam Newton getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, but a few days and they are on a plane to Eugene to make sure James is driving an appropriate car.

Well, I don't take any pride in Stevens...or any of the Nieuheisal era for that matter. I personally don't feel like the infractions in the Dawgfather era were nearly as bad...though some might disagree.

True. But, getting back to more recent history, there was this guy:

Wow, has it really come to this? One Civil War game for a trip to the national championship? Go Beavers.

Yup. Amazing to me what the Civil War has on the line. The last few years have had the conference championship at stake. Such a huge change from the 80's. I went to the '82 game, where UO won in Parker (pre Reser) to get their 2nd win of the season.

Oh yeah, this is also more recent: http://www.seattlepi.com/local/419693_pulu07.html

Well at least the police in Seattle and Eugene do their jobs... Haha up in Spokane they give victims of robberies and the like courtside seats in lieu of punishment! (Or at least from what several first hand accounts have told me...)
