This week’s SearchBag is all over the place, but there’s enough anti-OSU talk to get us by. Oh, and Mike Stoops may or may not be a jerk, but he’s at least entertaining.
Oregon, Bryce Brown, Chris Harper…Again With This?
Look, I’m sorry, ok. I could care less about Bryce Brown and Chris Harper anymore. Really. And yet, I just couldn’t let this go. A subscription article on the Ole Miss site omspirit.com (scout.com subscribers can read it) says a source close to Tennessee believes Oregon is behind the whole Bryce Brown investigation thing. Apparently, [...]
What's good, what's not and where it's all heading
The first bye week of the season is finally here. For Oregon, it’s much needed. For me, well, it’s a chance to take stock of what we’ve seen so far. Defense is Offensive I am not a knee-jerk reacting type of fan when it comes to hiring and firing coaches. When you’re talking about someone’s [...]
Give the reins to Masoli (and I mean it this time!)
Hi, my name is Nick and I’m a fickle fan. Last week, I wanted Darron Thomas to get the keys to the offense. Instead, someone gave the keys to Eddie Pleasant and well, bad idea (no one got seriously hurt, so it’s okay to joke, right?). Earlier in the year, I said let’s go with [...]
I Heart Fans
Hello class. Today, we’ll be talking about message boards. It’s where what I assume are reasonable and rational human beings go to completely lose their collective minds. Now, if you must read the musings of irrational fans (and frankly, I must, because football is an addiction), do your best to check your sanity at the [...]
Coach: Darron Thomas is Your Man
Normally, I don’t tell someone how to do their job when I don’t know enough about it to make a qualified judgement. Today, it’s clear to me that Darron Thomas is Oregon’s starting quarterback and Mike Bellotti had better know it. No other quarterback has looked as good as Thomas in a single quarter of [...]
Mad and Glad
Mad… In most respects, Saturday’s game against Boise State was nothing short of a nightmare. It conjured up the horrifying memories of the year 2004 and a team named Indiana. The first three quarters were awful. There was nothing to be happy about. Some lowlights: Jeremiah Johnson using his running back position as an audition [...]
Easing up on expectations, still predicting an Oregon win
First off, yeah, what you see in the post below is what happens when the FOTB leaves me alone for the weekend. She promises it won’t happen again. Let’s move on, shall we? I took last week off from the cool world of blogging and it’s probably a good thing. If I had managed to [...]
Pondering the quarterbacks
I watched the Washington game (duh). I was like just about everyone else. More Jeremiah Masoli, more Chris Harper. Roper? Eh, moving on. But wait. Let’s think about this with a little more thought. Why are we all so sure Roper isn’t the guy? He played well enough as a 5th string fill-in to get [...]
