Chip, I’m going to level with you. The inscrutableness of your injury reports is starting to wear me down. Everyone with a ding in fall camp was day to day. And now, so is C.E. Kaiser even if he’s currently on crutches. Four weeks after a high ankle sprain, T.J. Ward is still – yep [...]

Just Can't Wait to Get on the Road Again
Nothing cures your woes quite like the cozy confines of home. For Oregon, four straight weeks of life in Autzen meant a complete reversal of the perception and reality created by their first game in Boise. You do remember the first game, right? It was the one that brought doubts about Chip Kelly’s ability to [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 5
I’ll do some straight-forward rankings this week. Wouldn’t want to confuse anyone again with anymore blatant and obvious sarcasm. For what it’s worth, if you take issue with my top three, I did it three different times putting each of the teams in the number one spot until I finally settled on the current order. [...]
Progressing Pac-10 Picks – Week 5
If not for misplaced faith in Oregon State, I could have been perfect last Saturday. Alas, I’ll try again. Last Week: 4-1 Season: 24-8 (1st week was unpublished) UCLA @ Stanford I just can’t quit the Stanford bandwagon. I probably have more interest in their success than half their fanbase at this point and I’m [...]
Yeah, Oregon Wins This One
Week 5 Predictions PreNicktion: Oregon 51, Washington State 13 FOTB Prediction:Green helmet, yellow jersey, green pants black shoes. You can simulate this combination here Some prediction posts are more entertaining than others. Frankly, I’d rather talk about LeGarrette Blount right now instead of Washington State. Of course, I’ve already done that and it would be [...]
The Month That Lies Ahead
I didn’t ask Chip for permission to look ahead, but with Washington State providing something of a bye this week, it seems like a good time to take stock of what lies ahead in October. Washington State, 10/3 Ok, it’s technically an October game so let’s briefly discuss. The Cougars are bad. They are starting [...]
What We Really Need is Some Cougar Love
Last week’s hate post for the Cal game was so successful, I wanted to do it again. But alas, what the Cougars of Washington State really need is some love. Let’s face it, times are tough in Pullman. Three wins in the last 17 games has made it so. The Palouse was home to top [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 4 (Brought to You by Harris and Coaches' Poll Voters)
This week’s rankings are sponsored by the Harris and Coaches’ polls. Select members of each agreed to give me fake answers to some pressing questions about the reasoning behind their votes. Upon review, I’m nervous that the people deciding on these matters may be a problem. 1. USC (2-1) Les Miles, LSU head coach (Coaches): [...]
Somebody Needs to Re-count the Votes
From the “I know polls are ridiculous, but this is just egregious” department, Oregon reenters the USA Today Coaches Poll at, wait for it, 25th. 25th! Cal – you know, that team Oregon just whipped 42-3 – is still 19th. What? The AP Poll has Oregon 16th and the ESPNU Fan Poll slots Oregon 11th. [...]
Twelve Sunday Thoughts From Oregon vs. Cal
Sunday is so much nicer after a win. I’m young. I always operate under the assumption that football started in 1994. So when I say that was the best all-around performance in a regular season game by Oregon, it’s without a lot of perspective. Still, it’s hard to imagine the Ducks ever being more abusive [...]
