One last look at Oregon vs. USC before focusing on poor, poor Washington.
Link Roundup: “It’s the Chicken and the Egg”
Your links are better. No really, they are. Lot more talent in them babies. I’m just over here working with the B-team links. Those things…can’t top ‘em.
Up Is Down, Down is Up and Ducks Are the New Trojans
It’s time to throw out what you thought you knew about Oregon vs. USC. It’s a new era and that means new rules.
It's Just One Game, Right?
Week 9 Predictions PreNicktion: Oregon 22, USC 16. Defense rules the day. FOTB Prediction: Black helmet, black jersey, black pants, black shoes. Is there any other choice? You can simulate this combination here. We’ve been here before. Just two years ago, Oregon stood before the gates of the ruling empire and burned Troy to the [...]
Party Like It's 1999
Ten years ago, Oregon football was in a much different place. And so was I. Just an 18 year old freshman that couldn’t tell Agate from University, I wandered into Autzen Stadium on the night of September 25, just days after arriving on campus. I’d been to a game before when I was about six, [...]
Matt Barkley Under the Microscope
When USC comes to town on Halloween, they do so with true freshman Matt Barkley at quarterback. Autzen Stadium, Kellen Moore notwithstanding, is unpleasant to newbies. Through half a season, though, Barkley is being heaped with praise as a guy that plays beyond his years. I suppose one has to be impressed with the early [...]
Can You Tell These Defenses Apart?
When USC invades Autzen Stadium Saturday, the national perception is that the Trojans will bring the “D” while the Ducks look to make their mark on offense. Few outside the Oregon fanbase realize that the beating heart of this team is a stingy and downright hostile defense. In that case, perception needs a heavy dose [...]
Let's break it down
I don’t do this often, so consider this a treat. Today, wait for it…waaaaaait for it…I am actually going to attempt making serious insights into a football game. Yeah, I’m nervous, too. Let’s see how this goes. Gotta’ Run That Football The running game is clearly Oregon’s strength. Wait, wait wait. Nick, if that’s what [...]
Give the reins to Masoli (and I mean it this time!)
Hi, my name is Nick and I’m a fickle fan. Last week, I wanted Darron Thomas to get the keys to the offense. Instead, someone gave the keys to Eddie Pleasant and well, bad idea (no one got seriously hurt, so it’s okay to joke, right?). Earlier in the year, I said let’s go with [...]
It's just Oregon vs. USC
Sitting in the chiropractor’s waiting room, I thumbed through a recent issue of Sports Illustrated where I found a little sidebar about how the Pac-10 would offer no challenges to USC this year. It was yet another in a long line of dumb articles that get written with the idea that anyone actually knows anything [...]
