Rwebb, you went to Broadmoore! Ha, I lived a few streets down from St. Thomas Moore.

I graduated from U-high though.

it's a funny ol' world

get this - my best friend from HS lives in clearlake - he works for nasa

more visa versa, the duck defense penetrated the trojans

seems to me last time the Ducks beat a number one team, it was USC. A certain young man who had been in trouble with the law frequently and escaped to SC from Hunter's Point to make something of his life with football and acting (murderer, kidnapper later) was their tailback at the time

Don't care for the Trojans

Only guy I ever met who worked for NASA was a total booze jockey. Well, my Uncle Bob, did the radios for Apollo. Okay, only guy I knew who worked for NASA that was not my uncle was a drunk

hope that prediction comes true - Ducks v. usc is this coming weekend

I am from New Orleans and my wife is an LSU grad.

Because of Saban, Bama has become the most heated rivalry. I think when he walks onto the field in BR for the upcoming game, the earth will shake.

If both are still undefeated, that should be the game of the year.

For the SEC for sure. Our beloved Big12 is making some noise too!

Go Cowboys!

This is true. Having 1/2 of the conference in the Top 25 and 3 of the top 5 isn't too shabby. The only downside is the tough conference schedule, difficult for any Big 12 team to come out undefeated (like the SEC). Of course, if the first few weeks are any indication, there very well may be a one loss team (at least) in the BCS title game.

I would add "go K-State", but I'm torn. Part of me is hoping we lose every game from now on, so Ron Prince is a goner. I'm sure Texas Tech will be more than happy to oblige this weekend.

Well, it took the better part of the first half, but USC answered the challenge and put a pretty big beat down on the Ducks. Seeing the game in person, I have to say USC looked progressively stronger on both offense and defense.

ANY and ALL of the favorite teams could stumble this year, so I would keep that in mind before piling on USC and the PAC 10.

Can't wait for the "civil war" here...Ducks vs. Beavers. You see, I have 2 favorite college teams. The OSU Beavers and whoever is playing the Ducks.

i see you have been allowed back in the kitchen, paul

sad to see an oregonian - even an [early] transplant - who would favor the fuskies over the ducks...

Is it true that phil knight and mike bellotti fish the McKenzie by walking atop the water?

Yeah...allowed to walk through the kitchen...as long as I wear white sox and touch nothing.

I believe your memory fades...it was the Beavers who beat USC, 3-0, when USC was ranked #1 and O.J. was the star running back. If memory serves, it was 1964? The game now known as "Giant Killer 1"...

my bad, random trivia, turns out convicted kidnapper and armed robber in the great state of Nevada

no - but it is true that back in indiana, i used to swim my dog in the private fishing lake built for a chair throwing basketball coach....


glad the kitchen is getting done

Another great week of football! I never guessed Auburn would go down, despite their non-existent offense. For next week:

No. 5 Texas at No. 1 Oklahoma
No. 17 Oklahoma State at No. 3 Missouri
No. 4 LSU at No. 11 Florida

This is the week that the Big 12 really starts feasting on itself, though I predict that both Missouri and Oklahoma will win.

On a sad note, I need help reserving a domain name. How about "fireRonPrincenow.com". As a KSU fan, I now feel the pain of Nebraska fans, because I know how they felt when Bill Callahan was destroying their team. Watching Ron Prince dismantle the program that Bill Snyder worked so hard to build into a national contender just makes me sick. The beating at home by TTU was the worst in 12 years. The KSU defense has given up over 500 yards in 8 straight games. The offense looks incapable of getting a single yard on the ground, and the offensive line has our pocket passer running for his life. Sad, sad days in Manhattan.

Hey boys--would y'all like a cup of coffee now to wash down your humble pie!!!

Go USC--you are damn right!

Mike

You mean after beating up on an unranked Arizona State? I'm soooooo impressed.:rolleyes:

But don't worry, every voter west of the Rockies will put USC #1, because it's their "destiny". How they are currently in the top 10 defies description. Florida and Oklahoma should still be in front of them, because they were beaten by top-10 teams. Oregon State is very much NOT a top-10 team. Not to mention USC's schedule defines the term cakewalk. How many more top-10 teams do they have to beat to win out the rest of the year? Oh that's right, they don't play another ranked opponent. Yup, I'm impressed.......

Matt, you had a pretty awful week on your picks. What did you have, 1 winner in a UNC team?

#1 will most likely go to Texas since Bama (who hasn't been winning big) had the week off, Penn St. #3, then start guessing.

Oklahoma will be in front of USC, not so sure about Florida.

Hook'em Horns! I doubt they get the #1 spot though, they never get credit in the polls.
