Week 10 Predictions PreNicktion: Oregon 41, Arizona State 17. Okay, this week, the Ducks get a blowout. FOTB Prediction: Black helmet, black jersey, steel pants, black shoes. This in no way looks anything like the University of Oregon. You can simulate this combination here. The blog is making budget cuts this week and streamlining its [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 10
As convoluted as the Pac-10 race may seem, it’s actually pretty simple. Arizona and Oregon control their own destiny. The rest do not. Of course, if those two teams add a loss, then it gets interesting. On to the rankings. 1. Oregon (7-2, 5-1) I ain’t worried. Seriously, I’m not worried. Oregon’s body of work [...]
Who to Root For
Thanks to a suggestion from NautiDuck in a comment yesterday, I’m starting an occasional feature to keep track of who to root for every week. Currently, there are two things in play for Oregon: the Rose Bowl and the National Title game. Both take place in Pasadena. With regards to the Rose Bowl race, we [...]
Ranking the Pac-10 – Week 8
Some clarity is found in the top three this week, though I think Arizona could easily fall off in time. As I’ve said before, USC is staying in first until Oregon beats them. It’s my personal campaign to underrate and motivate the team. I can see them now…”Off The Pond thinks were no good! Let’s [...]
"I'm having a difficult time finding six wins for the Ducks"
With reference to the headline, hey, I didn’t say it. That acclaim goes to John Canzano of The Oregonian in what now looks like a gigantic whiff. We all had our doubts after Boise State, but missing out on bowl eligibility? Quite a reach. Now, 6-1 Oregon goes looking for win number 7. Here’s my [...]
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 [...]
A Rivalry Reborn, One Team's Dominance Will Continue
Week 8 Predictions PreNicktion: Oregon 34, UW 26 FOTB Prediction: Black helmet, white jersey, black pants, black shoes. You can simulate this combination here. And it should be noted, Miss FOTB nailed it without knowing the combo had already been reported. The game without a name is back. Don’t believe me? You must not have [...]
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 [...]
The Rivalry According to YouTube
Who knew YouTube could write blog posts? My video version of this rivalry is decidedly one-sided so you won’t find anything remotely Husky-centric. Then again, YouTube is a modern invention and, considering Oregon’s won 10 of the last 14, Washington’s better days would probably be hard to find in the digital realm. No explanation necessary [...]
Washington Huskies: An Updated Historical Perspective
This is kind of lazy. I did this same post before last year’s Husky game. But seeing as how nothing has changed with the team’s results, why should my content? Special thanks to jhowell.net for having an unmatched database of information that allows me to check data all the way back to 1916. Last losing [...]
