Introducing the Google Analytics Mailbag

By on September 3, 2010 in Football

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 [...]

FOTB Presents: Halloween Costumes For All

By on October 28, 2009 in Football, WOTB

Halloween and Autzen Stadium were made for each other and people are pulling out all the stops. I got an early look at the list of costumes being worn by certain celebrities. Note: This was the FOTB’s idea, so as such, she gets sponsorship of the post. Matt Barkley as Ken Doll Byron Hout as [...]

By on October 25, 2009 in Football

Now, 6-1 Oregon goes looking for win number 7. Here’s my [...]

Pitiful Pac-10 Prognostications – Week 4

By on September 25, 2009 in Football

I need some redemption. I barely surfaced above .500 last week. There’s only one game on the Pac-10 schedule I’m sure of, so this could be a disaster. Last Week: 5-4 Season: 20-7 (1st week was unpublished) California @ Oregon Logic be damned, the Ducks are going to win. Well, I think they are. They [...]

Hey Cal, Aren't You Excited For USC?

By on September 24, 2009 in Football

Psst, Cal, I just wanted to let you know you have a huge game against USC next week. It’s going to be epic. You’re a top ten team, they’re a top ten team (in one poll). I mean, it’s big, right? College GameDay might even visit your beautiful Strawberry Canyon stadium. That’s never happened before. [...]

Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 2

By on September 14, 2009 in Football

Week 2 is in the books. Once again, I dug deep and chased down some sources for the added perspective. 1. USC (2-0) Why: I promised they’d be on top with a win at Ohio State. No team has proven more than they have and for the rest of the season, they stay here until [...]
