I'm philosophical about the Ducks, seeing as how they've failed to win it all for years now. If we can't survive this stuff we won't make the natty. There's nothing gained by pouting about it. Just root for the series, then the quarter, then the game. Gnashing our teeth over stuff out of our control only brings on that heart attack early.
Man, getting to the Natty has ruined it for me though. I want to get back there. I want to win it. We've been so close for three years now. Getting to the Rose Bowl just doesn't do it for me.
Marshall just isn't a James, Stewart, Ontario Smith type of back. He's good, but he's not a star quality player.
He lacks agility but has decent strength and some good fight. But he's a stopgap until tyner's ready.
