That's a compliment I guess. <br /><br />On the wikipedia page for ducks it says that jokes about ducks are generally judged to be the funniest...or something like that.

Tennessee isn't an easy place to come play and the fans there are loud. It's 100,000 people yelling at you 3,000 miles away from home. <br /><br />The UT game probably wasn't hard, but Oregon did get hit hard by UT in the beginning of the game on the road. If they were going to fold, that would have been a good time to do so. <br /><br />I guess we will see if a defense has a month to prepare for the "blur offense" if they can stop it. I don't think it is the blur aspect of it as much as the talent Oregon has on that side of the ball. I'm excited to see them play TCU or Boise State in the National Championship.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-37453198865414841992010-11-11T22:47:12.225-05:002010-11-11T22:47:12.225-05:00It was the first time the top-ranked Ducks had tru...<b>It was the first time the top-ranked Ducks had truly been hit in the mouth, and they just grinned.</b><br /><br />I feel it's necessary to say this: Oregon's schedule really hasn't been that bad. Tennessee? UCLA? Portland?<br /><br />Other than Stanford and (maybe) USC, Oregon hasn't played anyone remotely close to a "good" team.<br /><br /><b>It was the first time the Ducks had been enveloped by 80,000 hostile screams, and they just roared.</b><br /><br />I think this is actually a knock against Oregon because it reads a lot like Oregon's schedule hasn't included any hard road games. <br /><br /><b>they simply do not have the combination of athlete and playbook that Oregon possesses, not this time.</b><br /><br />I'm sorry, but you give any decent coach a month to prepare for the "blur offense" and they'll find a way to beat it. Why? Because it's a normal offense, just at a high tempo. It's not exactly rocket science.FormerPhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837594679660975599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-70421516068467118182010-11-11T18:30:07.982-05:002010-11-11T18:30:07.982-05:00and answering another e-mail in response to his pr...and answering another e-mail in response to his previous tirade against latex allergies:<br /><br /><b>I'm allergic to every kind of animal myself, but does that mean that if I play for USC, they shouldn't run Trojan on the field?

He's crazy if he thinks that's the toughest game they will have all year too. He's just crazy and watched one Oregon game against a team in his area, then just assumes this will be the toughest game for the Ducks.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-61500230574112339842010-11-11T15:48:57.499-05:002010-11-11T15:48:57.499-05:00Bill Plaschke sure is a quack. oops, I mean hack. ...Bill Plaschke sure is a quack. oops, I mean hack. he is completely insane if he thinks the crowd in USC is going to be nastier than the one in Corvallis. he does know that Oregon and Oregon State are pretty big rivals, right?ivnnoreply@blogger.com
