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: Call ‘Em the Jetsons or Freakin’ Star Trek. Either way, it works
These links are coming late this week. The blog can barely roll out of bed in the mornings due to complete indifference toward the Washington Huskies.
2010 Flomax Half-Season Report
We may have lost Flomax as an ESPN halftime sponsor, but the relationship is alive and well here at the blog.
OTP also raided ESPN’s sponsors to make sure each midseason award has a nice corporate shine to it.
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 5: Not Yet Stanford (Actually, Not Ever)
This blog will not move Stanford to #1. What’s the point of rearranging something for one week if you’re just going to put it right back?
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 [...]
Passable Pac-10 Picks – Week 8
I’m barely getting by here, but you have to understand, it’s the coaching. I can’t take the blame for Jim Harbaugh messing up a game his team mostly dominated. And there’s no way I’m letting Steve Sarkisian and Nick Holt off the hook for that stunt they pulled down in the desert. Nope, 2-2 wasn’t [...]
Could Resurgent Huskies End Streak of Losing Seasons?
The losing seasons that have permeated Husky Stadium may soon be at an end. Sure, 2009 may still get a check mark, but through seven games, it’s clear these aren’t your five year old’s Huskies. This group plays hard and has a chance to win every game they play. Consider that a year ago, Washington’s [...]
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 [...]
For a Week, Let's Make Believe There's Still a Rivalry
Oregon vs. Washington – one of my favorite weeks of the year – has finally arrived. There’s a problem, though. I forgot how to care. After all those years of Washington telling us it isn’t a rivalry, I might just agree. The score since 2004 is 199-85, Oregon. The head-to-head tally is Oregon 5, Washington [...]
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 [...]
