Since I'm about to take off to Autzen, I'll leave this in your guys' capable hands... hope its a great game!!!!
For the love of god please never wear those carbon grey pants with green jerseys and white helmets again.
The Duck unis are getting ridiculous. I hate the white helmets. Oh, and Masoli sucks. The guy carries the football like it's a hand bag.
It's not even the uniform designs - they look alright when they're wearing solid pieces or mixing up black/yellow, yellow/green, green/black, green/white etc. It's just when they wear carbon grey solid pants, with the green/black jersey tops that have patterns all over them, with the white helmet with the green O there is too much fucking stuff going on. It's like wearing a striped white shirt under a forest green sweater with beige colored khakis.
LOL. 4 completed passes and we still beat #18 ranked Utah. Hopefully Masoli gets better throughout the year like last year. Right now, he simply sucks ass. Top 25 again, hopefully. Pac is tough this year, damn. USC, Cal, Washington, Oregon and Oregon State. Damn. Should be fun! Go Ducks!
Congrats to the Ducks. In somewhat related news: it seems that during the Michigan/ND game, a Wolverine player punched a ND player. After the Michigan coach refused to take action, the Big 10 stepped in - and handed down a whole *1 game* suspension! I am begining to think that Blount got the shaft.
I agree with you that Blount got the shaft - I think a two or three game suspension would have been fine when you factor in the reaction he had to the crowd.
Did he get suspended by the team or the NCAA? I had read somewhere that there was an incident with him during the summer. If it was a team suspension, perhaps that other event was a contributing factor in the severity of the overall suspension?
Yeah, but in my eyes it wasn't the punch, but the fact that he continue to freak out. He tried to go into the stands. He wouldn't calm down. Fights happen, but going after the fans after the fact was a complete lack of control. Also, Masoli needs to go. The Ducks are running with a RB at quarterback and it's going to catch up with them.
Masoli would be real nice to use in random wild cat formations and in a running back rotation. I don't know if he has decent hands but he could probably line up at some WR as well.
I cringe every time he runs with the ball. It reminds me of that line from Any Given Sunday, where Al Pacino tells Jamie Foxx that he's holding the football like a bread basket.
Well yes there is that, but if he fixed the way he carries the ball he'd be good in that position IMO. It was scary watching him run the ball like that today, especially when he kept doing it despite the fumbles.
Just got back in.. GREAT Crowd today! And boy is Allowalotti working to save his job. oh and LOL @ the people thinking we need a change at QB
What? There was a QB on the field today? I thought we ran the wildcat the entire afternoon? In all seriousness Masoli is damaged goods right now, he has zero confidence in his ability to throw and Kelly made it sound like on the Post game show that Masoli has a VERY short leash. If Masoli struggles in the Cal game and we don't see any Costa, Nate's knee may not be as healthy as we thought.
