Week 1. Oregon passed with a C+ over a deceptive Eastern Washington team. Deceptive in the fact that they are "just an FCS school" but it's one of the best FCS schools there are. Still, defense needs to be better. I was happy with Adams. 

Big test (Season defining game #1) going into Michigan State to take on the #5 MSU Spartans. Should be a great challenge and tell me more about where Oregon is or isn't at. 

FWIW, I thought it was an entertaining game and Oregon had nothing to be embarrassed about losing by 3 to a good team on the road.

The QB of Bob's team has been hearing from Oregon (among others). Unfortunately he was injured this past Friday and may be out for the year. Fortunately, he's only a sophomore, so he has time to bounce back before he has to decide on any colleges.

Gotta be wierd having a kid going into College Sports if you're a hardcore fan like some of us are. 

Imagine if you will you have a son who's a player. A straight gamer, and you've been a life long Michigan fan.... Your son goes to Ohio State University.

Do you just take a 4 year hiatus from college football? Try to figure out how to cheer for both? (Good luck there....)

Yikes!

Damn reporters.  I had to look up the word filicide.  Where I come from we call that "I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it."

Well week three is now in the books. USC is the latest PAC-12 hero to lay an egg. UCLA is now the top dog in the PAC with a ranking of 9. Oregon dropped a spot to 13 despite winning 61-28. Next week is #18 Utah.

I'm hopeful that Locke is as strong as he seemed to be running the offense. Adam's played tough, but needed him to sit down instead of trying to go against MSU. Missing a few throws that would have put us over the hump against Mich St. 

That said? Our defense is god awful, giving up a season low 28 points to Georgia State.... yikes. Hopefully we can outscore people. 

Well my optimism for Oregon is gone, and we're playing for pride now. Man Utah kicked our ass. So much worse than last season.  

Oh well, maybe we'll get a new QB up there and ready next year... And a defense....

If you didn't see the last play of the Michigan/Michigan State game, make sure you watch the highlight.

Cannot watch that finish without LMAO. Pure awesomeness

And the Garo Yepremian award goes to .......

That play might down down as the most painful ending to a football game in college football history. I know the FG return for a TD a couple of years ago in the Iron Bowl was stunning, but that game was otherwise headed to OT. Alabama didn't have the win already marked in the scorebook.

Michigan had this one wrapped up. I read somewhere that the Michigan State coaches had already started putting away their headsets. The game was over....and then suddenly....

And then there was this glorious news broadcast from a Grand Rapids news station. Just fantastic.

I guess the punter has had it pretty rough from the Wolverine faithful. 

As the MSU grad in my Sunday morning hoop group said to me: "It's his fault. He chose to go to Ann Arbor."

Hell of a game last night Artie. Not sure about Oregon's last TD there, dude looked OB to me, but who is to say that Oregon wouldn't score anyway. I think that was a first down play. 

Too bad neither of the teams are relevant this season!
