    To be honest, I felt like I was watching an Ohio State/ Michigan game. Just two equally talented teams going back and forth and the last team with the ball was going to win. Know what I mean?

    Do it tonight for Paul. Do it for the fans.

    Do it to send the media home choking on LeBron James cum tonight.

    GO BLAZERS!

    These are almost perfect but I really wish instead of gold they had gone with Blazer red.

    Petersen and Lake really underestimated the quality of Oregon's players, esp on the lines. It was really stupid of them. Cristobal was pissed at some of the things they have been telling recruits so he made it as physical a match as possible.

    Now the ironic part is I need Oregon to beat Washington State.

    This is a Blazers game thread. I don't want to hijack the thread with college football talk and be yelled at by the guys(figuratively.)

    Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!
    BEAT LA!!!!!!!
    I want Nurk to make McGee his bitch tonight.

    They're just fucking trolls. I'm convinced of it. They travel around wherever a big superstar goes so that they can troll other teams. Like a disease.

    I've been to three GS games at Moda. You should see how bad it is there.....fucking California transplants.

    CP is the best coach in the pac12 in my opinion and it hurts to say that as a Duck fan. However, Cristobal is a heck of a recruiter and I love that he's trying to get away from the flash and get into a grind, though I could deal with some more explosion plays here in there. Oregon's defensive line is so much improved this year they've got a couple 3-4 guys who will play in the NFL (as long as health doesn't keep them out), and the Oregon Offensive line is a work in progress but can hold their own.
    I know a certain poster hates the ducks, but I enjoy the Ducks / Husky match ups when both teams are good, and I think both programs seem to be heading towards being the dominant PAC12 schools because of the coaches / recruiting. Cristobal has a lot to prove still, and the stanford game still hurts, but it'll be fun to see how the Ducks and Huskies progress the next few years.

    Does anyone have a home stream? I don't think I can stand the LeBron cock sucking tonight on TNT. It's gonna make me sick.

    It really was. Especially being new to the industry and being a basketball fanatic. Meeting and spending the day with Bob Costas, Marv, Fratello, Coach John Thompson, Hubble Brown, Doug Collins. And helping in the meetings getting to meet Shaq, Kobe, Rodman, Kidd etc. Was a blast. Laid the foundation with a lot of people in the business.

    Cristobal is a good coach. He just got the shaft at FIU while trying to build his program. My fear is that we will get good again and Miami will come calling.
