I was feeling the bad MOJO when I heard the comments from some key players last week that the Rose Bowl was no big deal. Comments like that never go without consequence and now the Ducks are out of the Rose Bowl Race beat by an unranked team. How sad that they self destructed…
USC did Oregon a solid last night in the the last minute of play by beating the ego out of Stanford with a game winning field goal. Did you hear it- the roar from Eugene last night at 8:15 PM? How appropriate that Stanford gets upset like that only a few weeks after pulling off…
A team that got beat by Utah just crushed Oregon’s hopes of a Rose Bowl and a BCS championship. Marcus Mariota played the game with a Knee Brace with a MCL partial tear and his running game suffered the consequences. The power running game of Stanford appeared unstoppable in the first half with their offense…
I haven’t been as excited for a college Football game since Northwestern last went to the Rose Bowl in 1996. With 10 undefeated college teams left. The real football season starts on Thursday as ranked teams start weeding out the top 10. This Thursday night (6pm on ESPN), The Undefeated Oregon Ducks play Stanford in…
Most thought it was impossible, but the Oregon Ducks have made it to the sweet 16. Cal as usual went down in flames and reinforced the idea that a PAC12 teams are weak. It was serendipity when Friday’s session of the tournament featured the Ducks and Bears in sequential games in San Jose with two wins…
When coach Jim Harbaugh sais the game was taken away from the 49rs by a bad call, it sounds like sour grapes. But if you look at the way the officials consistently favored the Ravens throughout the entire game, it makes even an impartial bystander wonder if the fix was in, especially after watching the replays. Hitting,…
The BCS college football season ends with The Tide drowning The Irish in a blowout that not even Rudy could have saved. Although the game started out like an Ducks Beatdown Romp, it was nice of Mussberger to break up the monotony with a ” babe sighting” . Entertaining was his semi rapist ogling –“Wow,…
With a blowout win over Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl, it’s clear to most that they are at least in the top two teams in the BCS. With K-State no match for Oregon at all and #3 Florida getting pounded by #22 Louiville in the Sugar Bowl. That leaves only three teams –Notre…
For all great upsets, there is an equal and opposite despair. So ends the perfect season. Ducks football will survive and get stronger with three more years of eligibility for key players. There is nobody to blame. So many close plays. I just can’t bear to think of it right now but time will heal.…
There are no direct flights to Eugene Oregon from SF or SJ. Today, it took us 10 hours to fly from SF to Portland and then to Eugene. We probably could have driven it faster. Mainly because of the rainy weather, but its been a long time since I had such an uncomfortable trip…
