Auburn vs Oregon, "The Natty!" Game Thread!

I "cut the cord" on cable, so I'll be watching it on ESPN3. No DVR though, and I won't be home until halfway through the first. I guess I'll be missing the fanfare leading up to it, but maybe they'll sell a DVD for the game.

 

I'm trying to decide if I want to go somewhere and watch it, or stay home and enjoy my big screen TV.

 

Two words: Go Ducks!

 

Man.... it didn't really start getting to me until yesterday. I've got those butterflies that I haven't had since the Blazers were in the WCF back in the late 90's and early 2000's. I can't believe we're here. An Oregon team is about to play for a National Championship! It's unbelievable.

 

CHIP KELLY- "We are not playing for the Pac-10. They are not -- in my opinion, they are not playing for the SEC. It is Auburn versus Oregon. I don't think you can look at past successes and say, hey, this conference did this, this conference did this. You have no idea. Two years ago we went 5-0 in bowl games in the Pac-10 and everybody talked about us, and last year we didn't do a real good job. So I think it's a cyclical thing and each team is their own entity. We are not playing for the Pac-10. I can tell you that. We're playing for Oregon. It is Oregon versus Auburn. We never let outside influences -- I will never stand up in front of my team and say we are carrying the flag for nine other teams or whatever. We are worried about just our team and our preparation."

Wow.... that's like the Bat signal.... only cooler.

 

Great picture.

I think Kelly was born for this type of stage. I think he loves it. No better represtantative of the University than CK.
