As the final gun sounded on Saturday and the usual post-game mad scramble took place across the field as the head coaches tried to find each other for their customary handshake, I half-expected the ending music to the movie āRockyā to kick-in. After all, a relatively large underdog (13.5 points) had gotten the tar beat out of it early on ā¦
Let me clarify that title: it was a perfect game in that we fans, the players and the Oregon coaching staff learned a ton while still winning the game.

I have to admit, I really got off on Win The Day. WTD with wings. So cool. Yeah, go Ducks! I wish I had thought of that bit of advice when I was a young father. I would have used it on my kids before they turned two and were two steps ahead of their father. The motto that Chip ā¦
BoyĀ ā the concerns by Mr.Ā FishDuckĀ about this team written on this website seem about as probable as a victory by SUU on Saturday.
