    welp, believe it or not, this nba fan from new zealand watched this game today bootleg style n live.
    i was looking to put some bets on pre-season and saw some ncaaf lines and saw oregon was playing
    being a blazers fan, i gambled expecting to lose (experienced blazers better) -$50 on oregon +4.5
    the game was amazing tbh, very close and all over the place - loved it.

    that qback on the other team, i feel for him - he made a couple of bad plays in the last few mins (think he fumbled a hike, sacked, and that last play - omg, he's gonna have nightmares about that)

    much more exciting than any blazers game ive seen in recent memory.

    I’d definitely recommend staying away from betting on the Blazers this year and in general because betting with your heart is usually a recipe for disappointment.

    I’d also say that betting on the Spurs could be interesting this year. I think they more than any other team will out perform current expectations.

    Hmm, is that some kind of loop hole? Rather than play prevent defense, put 12 men on the field and keep them to 5 yards per play...

    Texas is going to play Georgia next week so...

    I'm more concerned about winning out & staying relatively healthy then what the rankings are. The only ranking that matters is the final one

    No more of a loop hole than intentionally fouling in basketball down 1 with ten seconds left. Or a DB intentionally getting a pass inference call to prevent a touchdown.

    I imagine that the view for the OSU fans this morning is a bit like the time you get into the ring with your little brother, only to find yourself flat on your back. Only as your vision clears do you notice that li’l bro has been working out and he’s not the same guy whose chops you’ve easily busted all these years.

    Flying to Denver this morning with a stop in Seattle. PDX was full of Ohio State fans.

    You have to admit getting that win helps in a number of ways.

    There were a bunch of recruits at the game. I bet they were amped from the crowd.

    I agree. I don’t care about rankings either. I just think they’ll be #1. They have the best win of any undefeated team.

    Well, I don’t think we do it if they weren’t facing 25 yards. We could afford to give up 5 yards to prevent the big play and burn 4 seconds.

    I’m actually cool with the Ducks simply moving up to #2 and staying there until the playoffs.

    They've never had a defense this strong.

    Never bet on Colorado. Just visit there. Much better use of money.
