    I was very impressed by Thomas. He was the big question mark in my mind... but boy did he run and throw in that one.

    some fans from every fanbase are intolerable and of course this is only amplified when the team is good. I do laugh when some rival fan comes in with a broad paintbrush of hate as if they're somehow justified/above it all and this somehow doesn't reflect more on them... just curious VG are you a Beavers or Husky fan?

    Very very impressive showing by the Ducks last night. There is a lot of banter about National Championship implications (up to #3 in AP), but I'm mostly hopeful about winning the Pac 10 again. Seems like Carson York was the only one who had injury issues hopefully nothing else comes to light Monday. On to WSU!

    The Ducks are good. I think we're starting to come around though. We're relatively healthy 4 games into the season and Katz has been through the fire and he's doing pretty good. We have a chance to win every game we play and that's all I can ask for.

    Wow. I was off. I thought they'd be neck-and-neck with Boise State after BSU trounced their opponent.

    Not only did they fly up over 110 pts to pass BSU, but they flew up 150 pts and are only 20 pts out of 2nd behind Ohio State. Could likely pass them in the next couple weeks. Wow.

    I'm not that invested in them but I'm a Beavers fan. I have a brother who went to Oregon and a brother who goes to Oregon State. For some reason I can't stand most Duck fans so I'm a Beaver fan. It's kinda like how I feel about Laker fans, they feel so entitled and it gets annoying.

    I was surprised to honestly. I think it's the media/coaches showing that they have no respect for BSU's conference and strength of schedule.

    Why should anyone respect Boise St. when the toughest opponent they'll face this season is Oregon State or Nevada? OSU was well ranked then and is a good team, but when your entire conference is the punching bag for the Big Boy conferences every season... strength of schedule becomes your enemy if you're Boise St.

    I am. I guess I'm both. My Tennessee football fandom has been going down steadily because of them getting worse and not hearing about them every single day like I do the Beavers and Ducks. I still follow the Vols though, and Tennessee is definitely my college basketball team.

    It hurt the Ducks with their strength of schedule.

    What are the chances Boise State moves to another conference?

    they already are... during that whole Pac 16 Hullabaloo they announced they are moving to the Mountain West... which would have ended up being a pretty damn good conference, but Utah and BYU bolted.
