Damn you day job…don’t you know my true love is Oregon Duck blogging? How dare you distract me. Let’s catch up on the week so far. What’s more fun? Reading about LeGarrette Blount or Getting Hit By Him? I have a medical condition known as Blount Fatigue. I don’t want to hear about it anymore. [...]

Who to Root For…The "More Scenarios Than Necessary" Edition
The race for the Rose Bowl is simpler in some ways, more complicated in others. For Oregon, it’s more clear than ever that winning out is the only realistic way to get the conference bid to Pasadena. In that sense, it’s simple. Just root for Oregon and all is well. Of course, a loss opens [...]
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?

Let's Get These Coaches Acclimated
Washington vs. Oregon enters into a new era this year with two new head coaches. Mike Bellotti won’t be coaching in the game for the first time since 1988. It’s the first time since 2003 that Washington has had a pulse. It seems to me that we need a rivalry refresher. As such, I sat [...]
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 [...]

Things That Are Making Me Happy
I’m full of smiles and for good reason. Call me chipper. I don’t care. These are things that are making me happy. It’s here. It’s really here! Oregon has broke from camp and moved into game week preparation. We’re only a week away from a tasty blue turf revenge. How can you not be happy [...]
Rooting for (Gasp!) Oregon State
Pop quiz, class. What’s more painful, Ron Paul failing to gain the presidency or John McCain meeting the same fate in his own run? When there’s more on the line, it just hurts more. In that respect, I’d rather watch Oregon State’s roses wilt in the crisp fall air that invades the Willamette Valley November [...]

Pasadena's Roses are Anyone's to Have
Something happened on Thursday night in Corvallis. Yeah, yeah, Oregon State pulled the upset of #1 USC, I know. But something bigger happened. All those teams with their Mountain West losses and cross-country whoopings just got a new lease on life. The national champion isn’t coming from the Pac-10 this season. The conference isn’t in [...]
