Agreed MickZagger... and to think it all started for him with the loss to Boise State... and the Blount punch... and then the media attacking him... talk about the worst possible start to walk into... but he didn't wilt at all... he defended the team like a bulldog... treated them like his own kids... and look where they are now.
I just have to try to not drink too much beer before the game. When that other Oregon team (can't mention name... don't want bad ju ju) was playing in the College World Series I can remember telling my son that it was a once in a lifetime event so see an Oregon team play for a national championship in a major sport... then of course they did it back to back... and now the Ducks in football... it is almost unbelievable.
Not nervous, not worried, actually I feel like this - [video=youtube;lQlIhraqL7o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQlIhraqL7o[/video] Go Ducks!
Just bought a new $1700 42" Plasma (with 3D) and I can't wait to watch the game on ESPN HD. Video Only got it for us for only 800$ because of overstocking and not being able to display this (new) model. Its so great. GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember watching that Boise St. game and we couldn't get anything going on offense and my dad turned and looked at me and said, "this coach isn't as good as people think". Then the Blount incident happened a little later. I said, this guy is a guru, its his first ever game as a head coach. Since that game the Ducks have lost 1 game and are now playing in the National Title game. Many criticized him for his handling of Blount and thought he was too harsh. It all turned out good. A fan wrote a letter and wanted his money back and CK sent him a check. Speaks volumes about Chip. Yes, its safe to admit. I have a man crush on Chip Kelly.
Dear God: I put up with decades of the Ducks sucking. I have put up with decades of Blazer heartbreak. Can I have just a little sugar...please?
the last time a big game happened in this stadium, the team I was rooting for....well, it didn't work out so well. [/badmemories]
