So you know that whole thing about journalistic integrity and keeping yourself out of the story? They’re not teaching that at Boise State. The sports editor of the student newspaper is going on the offensive to pimp for the Broncos’ BCS chances. Naturally, I feel compelled to respond.

Cause For Hope: The Oregon Defense
It’s a week of positivity here at the blog where, for one week, we’re suspending any legitimate concern and refusing to recognize the catastrophe that was Boise. Today’s Cause For Hope: The Oregon Defense It’s quite possible the Oregon defense may be, uh, good this season (excuse me, I hesitated). Holding Boise State to 19 [...]
Shall We Move On Now?
LeGarrette Blount talk will persist for the entire season. We’ll all make sure of that. However, for the Oregon Ducks, it’ll be their ability to put it behind them that may define the 2009 campaign. Saturday, Purdue comes to town for the second of a two-game series. The Boilermakers, much like the Ducks against Boise, [...]
Ladies and Gentleman…We Have a Punter
I dug deep for the most optimistic headline possible. That’s the best I could do. Congratulations Jackson Rice, you are good. Now, for the rest of the story. Sports will humble you fast. It’s a constant roller coaster and there are moments like Boise State, 2009. You can doubt what you saw a year ago, [...]
It's Time For Football
The wait is over. Let football begin. Say goodbye to your wives, your girlfriends, your husbands, your boyfriends, your FOTBs. Put the home repair projects on ice. Postpone weddings as necessary. Employ the full arsenal of personal, sick and vacation days. Make sure your home theater system isn’t overly quiet. Get the new 60″ properly [...]
Pressure's On For Boise State
Boise State has made the goal clear; it’s BCS or bust. And who can blame them? They have a marquee game at home on national TV to sell voters on the legitimacy of their BCS campaign. After Thursday, they get to disappear for the next 3 months and rack up wins against the likes of [...]
Off The Pond Goes Off The Pond
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). [...]
Primary Reason Oregon Wins Thursday? The Forward Pass
A year ago, we watched with horror as Boise State waltzed into Autzen Stadium and pantsed Oregon 37-32. This year, it won’t happen again because the Ducks have rediscovered the forward pass. Given that coach Eddie Cochems, known as the “father of the forward pass,” had Brad Robinson attempt the first legal forward pass in [...]
Fear "The Blue?" Only if Your Team is Cupcake U
If Oregon is going into Boise St. mode, then so is the blog. I got my Countdown-to-Kickoff wallpaper freshly downloaded from the Idaho Statesman (TGIT) and am ready to rumble. First up…let’s talk about that home record. Apparently, Duck fans are supposed to be afraid of this 30,000 seat stadium with turf picked out by [...]
