That headline made my head spin, but I’m keeping it.

I made my contributing debut today on another site for an online magazine called Norman Einsteins (a nod to the famous Joe Theismann quote). It’s published monthly and I contributed a piece for the Civil War (let’s just say, my obsession with Markus Wheaton continues). There’s some great contributions from a variety of fan blog authors in the college football preview including a fun hypothetical featuring the Oregon and Boise State game. My Civil War effort is at the bottom of the page. Enjoy.

I knew when a player named Wheaton became an Oregon State Beaver, something really bad would happen by the year 2012. Apparently, that moment is getting closer. Haven’t these guys heard of a redshirt or perhaps a sabbatical? I was holding out hope for a religious awakening and a two year Mormon mission to Burma.

Perhaps I’m making too much of it, but have you been to an Oregon game since 1995? Have you downloaded an Oregon ringtone or casually watched a YouTube clip? If so, you’ve seen or heard “The Pick” and anytime you celebrate something that much, eventually, you get bit. First chance? December 3rd. Maybe he’ll try studying abroad.
