This blog will not move Stanford to #1. What’s the point of rearranging something for one week if you’re just going to put it right back?

Poisoned Pac-10 Picks – Week 4
An ego is pure poison. Sure, I went 7-3 last week, but any sap could have done that. It’s the 1-8 record against the spread that was the betting equivalent of gargling acid. Just like that, I don’t know what I’m doing. Straight Up: 24-4 Against the Spread: 10-11 Posted spreads are from sportsbook.com at [...]
SearchBag: The Mindset of Chip Kelly, Duck Tweets and Jon Wilner’s Extreme Lack of Voting Prowess
Just what is inside the mind of Chip Kelly? Who should you follow on Twitter? It all gets answered in this week’s SearchBag.
Pompous Pac-10 Picks – Week 3
This week, you’ll just have to indulge a little OTP ego because I’m pretty sure this is about the only time I’ll be able to show it off. Kind of went undefeated last week. As in, 8-0 straight up and 5-0 against the spread. Coincidentally, I moved to Las Vegas at 11:00 p.m. on Saturday night. [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 2: Oregon an Easy Choice
That’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout Pac-10! A 7-0 weekend in non-conference games and five ranked teams. This conference is for real… until next Saturday anyway.
Will Tennessee Put Up a Fight?
When Oregon and Tennessee announced a home-and-home series five years ago, I never thought I’d write a headline like that (then again, I wasn’t writing any headlines, period).
But Tennessee is rebuilding, Oregon is decidedly not and now the Ducks go into massive Neyland Stadium as heavy favorites. And the question has become, can Tennessee hang?
Possibly Perfect Pac-10 Picks – Week 2
Ah, Thursday. The college football week is finally back after…two whole days of nothing. UCLA, you ruined what would have been a perfect start to the year. Gone are my hopes of season-long perfection, but intact is my pursuit of weekly excellence. Posted spreads are from sportsbook.com at time of publishing. Colorado @ California Larry [...]
Link Roundup: A Baldwin Award for Oregon
Three and a half working days left to more football. Why not spend the time reading these links? Storm tracker 2010! We’re on high alert with possible thunderstorms, heat and humidity. Jason Vondersmith says Oregon’s defense starts with its defensive ends while Rob Moseley has a great piece on the impact of defensive line coach [...]
Introducing the Google Analytics Mailbag
I’ve always wanted to do a mailbag. They’re fun to read and I imagine highly entertaining to write. But alas, I’m more likely to get an email selling me Viagra than anything from an actual reader. Soooo, I’m using the next best thing. First Friday of every month (and perhaps every Friday), I’m picking out [...]
3rd Annual Pac-10 Coaches’ Awards!
When new commish Larry Scott caught wind of this year’s awards, he said, “Nick, you got a good thing going here, but your presentation is weak. Come on, market it, kid! Throw in some pictures or something. Let the world know you exist!” He’s the guru. Now on to the 2010 Coaches’ Awards. The Rick [...]
