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 [...]
Link Roundup: The Scoreboard Lies!
I’m at a ravishing stage of supreme work. The ultimate irony is this website I’m working on is transcendent and time occupying but repetition of links is emphasized heavily. This was real. It makes absolute sense. Note: Read this article (if you can stand it) and that sentence above will make sense. Well, in the way [...]
3rd Annual Pac-10 Coaches’ Awards!
When new commish Larry Scott caught wind of this year’s awards, he said, “Nick, you got a good thing going here, but your presentation is weak. Come on, market it, kid! Throw in some pictures or something. Let the world know you exist!” He’s the guru. Now on to the 2010 Coaches’ Awards. The Rick [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 6
The Pac-10 is messy. Very, very messy. Not even Bounty (you know the quilted quicker picker upper) could handle this filthy, disgusting mess. Fortunately, Oregon is bringing clarity to it all with its astounding dominance, but in an attempt to provide motivation through my overly important blogging, they have to settle for second. 1. USC [...]
The Week in Links
Welcome to Game Day. For the many of you who haven’t watched a live Oregon game on TV since the trip to Boise, trust me, the view via plasma has become a lot better since then. You’ll enjoy. As for me, I’m giving that nice couch groove some time off and am probably figuring out [...]
Pitiful (Again) Pac-10 Picks – Week 6
I just can’t put two weeks of football prognosticating together. I barely got above .500 thanks to some questionable refereeing at Notre Dame (and before Touchdown Jesus no less). It’s a light week of competition with three teams resting easy. Last Week: 3-2 Season: 27-10 (1st week was unpublished) Oregon @ UCLA Finally, the Ducks [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 2
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 [...]
2nd Annual Pac-10 Coach’s Awards
Welcome Pac-10 newcomers Steve Sarkisian and Chip Kelly. You are the new representatives at this award ceremony for 2009. We hope you are honored to have such a prestigious award in your name. The Dennis Erickson Award for “What, I’m Still in the Same Place? Why?” …And the Winner Is: Taylor Mays, USC Safety. It’s [...]
1st Annual Pre-Season Coaches Awards
Because pre-season awards are every bit as important as pre-season rankings, it’s time to unveil my 1st Annual Pre-Season Coaches Awards, each named in honor of a Pac-10 coach. The Dennis Erickson Award for “It’s Been Fun, But it’s Time to Move On” …And the Winner Is: Taylor Mays, USC Safety. An overwhelming consensus first-round [...]
Pre-Season Predictions – Useless, but Everyone's Doing It
You can’t have a blog, run a website, post in forums or basically breathe oxygen without at some point sitting down and doing your pre-season predictions. As such, I might as well do mine. But before I get to that, I’d like to remind you that I did get 1 out of 10 exactly right [...]
