We welcome three new coaches to the awards this season. They are honored, I assure you. The Jeff Tedford award for “We would never ask anyone on our team to fake something! Oh that, well, I didn’t know. Talk to my assistant.” And the winner is: Whoever is responsible at Oregon for releasing documents provided [...]
SearchBag: Wazzu plays Wheel of Fortune, Mythbusters in Oregon, and an anti-Beaver Picture
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.
Click Tales: Are We Still Talking Fake Injuries? Yep
Vontaze Burfict and Chase Thomas just called. They want to know why no one cares about their ouchies. Said Burfict: “Man, I faked seven injuries on my own! Do you hear me? On my own!”

The Annual and Obligatory Pac-10 Prediction Post
I pretty much do this post every year for two reasons. (1) I don’t know what else to write when I first come back from 8 months off. (2) I like to look back and see how dumb (or occasionally brilliant) I was. For example, I have correctly picked the Ducks’ finish two years in [...]
Passable Pac-10 Picks – Week 8
I’m barely getting by here, but you have to understand, it’s the coaching. I can’t take the blame for Jim Harbaugh messing up a game his team mostly dominated. And there’s no way I’m letting Steve Sarkisian and Nick Holt off the hook for that stunt they pulled down in the desert. Nope, 2-2 wasn’t [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 1
It’s the first Pac-10 rankings for 2009. For extra perspective on each team, Off The Pond has dug deep into its sources and secured real quotes from around the conference. 1.
