Couple of things: Toledo’s highly ranked offensive stats this season were accumulated against what strength of schedule? Apples and oranges here.

Ohio State’s D-line might be deeper than OS(u)’s, but they will have a tough time subbing in when Oregon gets into hurry-up mode. If you are being honest in your assessment of the game, that has to concern you.

Turnovers: The Ducks like to cough it up? 6 interceptions and 15 fumbles on the year. tOSU had 16 and 7. Last I checked 23 was more than 21.

Personally, I think it is going to be a great game. Just get tired of reading how Oregon is going to get run out of the Rose Bowl. And yes, I will be drinking a vertical of 2007, 2008 & 2009 The Abyss while I watch the game.

I apologize for shorting you some Pac-10 titles. Was not my intent.

Speaking of backhanded compliments…(I am pretty good at these, as well as just plain old insults)

For Oregon’s sake, I hope that they do. But hey, you are the second Oregon fan to mis-interpret the post. I guess the smart peeps in Oregon head up the road to Corvallis when they want an education. I’m just sayin’

Depending on how one counts a decade, to include 2000 or not, The Ducks have won the Pac-10 three times, sharing just in 2000. The Ducks are the first team to win the league by two games since the 1991 Washington Huskies did it.

I think we’ll be capable of giving you a better game than Illinois, Toledo, Penn State, Iowa’s back-up QB “from Keokuk, Iowa, in his first start,” and Michigan did.

Good luck finding someone to switch for four tix. If it doesnt work out, take solace knowing our traveling fans are as classy as they come.

I cant believe that I was talking NWOAL football either. There are multiple competitive programs in football in Henry county (Napoleon and PH..and even Liberty Center). I had Inselmann as a teacher at Napoleon before he left to start his mini-dynasty over at PH. Great teacher…very well spoken..but his ego is massive. While Coach Snoad over at Napoleon is having to face huge schools like Steubenville and Findlay and Fremont Ross, PH would be content to play Tinora 10 times a year and get that playoff spot. Sometimes people need a kick in pants…and Inselmann (regardless of his success) is not devoid of such a kick…Hey Bill go play someone…anyone. Hell play Amanda-Clearcreek or Coldwater before that meat-grinder of a schedule (lol..NWOAL) comes into full swing. Either that..or go coach somewhere that things may actually be a challenge. Defiance probably could use a new coach…they are awful.

A couple of things..

1. Thanks for proving my points for me. Nothing like having opposition come over to the site and make my job easier in the post. Btw…what does the last seven years of Pac 10 dominance in the rose bowl have to do with anything? It has about as much bearing as Oregon’s last Pac10 championship and OSU’s last NC…

2. 3 Yards and a Cloud of Dust…See the last paragraph in my post and keep talking. You are the reason why I am stating that Duck fans and Buckeye fans are idiots. The only difference is that we have had a reason to be idiots longer than you guys. That is what happens when you keep winning..not just practice at being competitive once every four years. Try looking at Penn State over the last 10 years and then look at Oregon…the similarities are ridiculous.
