It's Time For Football

The wait is over. Let football begin.

Say goodbye to your wives, your girlfriends, your husbands, your boyfriends, your FOTBs. Put the home repair projects on ice. Postpone weddings as necessary. Employ the full arsenal of personal, sick and vacation days. Make sure your home theater system isn’t overly quiet. Get the new 60″ properly hooked. Work that groove into your couch. Stock the fridge with plenty of beer, barbecue something meaty and for God’s sake people…Chant her glory, Orrrrrregon!

Week 1 Picks

  • PreNicktion: Oregon 41, Boise State 27 (Haven’t felt better about a game this big since 2007 which, of course, makes me extremely nervous)
  • FOTB Prediction: All black uniforms because they should look like Warriors although she admits the stormtroopers is likely due to the blue turf.
  • Bonus Pick: 1 failed attempt at a late hit by Boise State (forgot at first, but I got it in there)

Feel free to leave your prediction in the comments. I’ve seen a lot of confidence out of Duck fans so I’m expecting some bold prognostications. The person closest to the outcome wins absolutely nothing, so you’ll have that going for you.

    the much too long baseball season drags on

    the hottest of hot babes are wrapping up the beach volleyball season
    (i dig the brazillians larissa and juliana)
    the ufc martial arts meatheads are having caveman wars
    they are still driving nascar cars in circles

    My wife is 39 weeks preggo and has been having contractions off and on since last week. I told her that she can have the baby anytime after the game is over.

      Stand strong. My favorite quote – and I can only paraphrase here – was from Jimmy Kimmel way back when he as a Man Show kind of guy and he said UNLV winning the national title was the greatest moment of his life just above the birth of his children.

      The fact that I just said that’s my favorite quote does not say a lot of good things about me.

      Don’t rule out a half-time delivery. Most hospital rooms have television and the half-time will be extended due to national TV coverage.

    Ducks 38 – 17

    Ducks win with a dominating run game and constant pressure on the BSU QB.

    The all black is very cool but they can’t wear it, not because of the blue turf, but because it’s a road game. They are required to wear a white jersey.

      FOTB doesn’t get into the business of logical uniform decisions. It’s more her pick of what she would do if she was head fashion-coordinator. Alas, that job falls to Casey Martin and another dream is crushed.
