    You are on some seriously good drugs right now. Midgets, poodles, AND the Duck? Sounds like fun.

    *Straight edge, bro. All straight edge.* Sleep deprivation is a cool trip. 70 hr work week, full-time (over 12 hrs) of 300 level college courses, mock military drills participation tonight and above it all - my family comes first AND we've been moving into a new house over the past two weeks. 4 hrs of sleep a night ROCKS!! Oh, gosh...I think I have mid-terms next week.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dang, and you still have time to post here? I'm strangely reminded of that Michael Keaton movie, Multiplicity. :lol:

    I'd love to be multiplied but I'm not sure the world could handle it, lol. If sportstwo is a model, no one could handle two of me.

    Ducks football with scout, sportstwo and a little DAF fun is really my only outside guilty indulgence right now. It only takes a few moments but is a little break from all the other serious focus. It's a season. Grad degree in sight. :) Sleep needed. :sigh:

    Well there you go. I get pretty damn cranky when I only get 4 hours of sleep a night.

    Cranky, what did you say, bitch!?

    :) Just kidding.

    I know I've said this before, but scout has about what, 2,000 more regular users than this board, and I've been using scout for over 8 years with 10,000+ posts. I think I've had less people complain, bitch, cry and moan about my posting in those years than I have here in the last year and a half - and I've met a lot of the folks at games/events and made some awesome lifelong friends, met players, parents in person -- and such all through the board.. This seems to be an overly sensitive and confrontational group. But, whatever. That's my perception but I am someone that looks at trends. I can't recall one private message in those 8 years like I've received here a couple times of, "you know what really bothers me about your posting....etc, etc, etc.". It's an odd group here who, IMHO, don't want to hear any opposing views or have actual debates - they just want everyone to agree with them. Personally, I enjoy it when people disagree with me, so we can debate the topic and have some good sports banter, I just don't enjoy all the whining and crying and sensitivity.

    But, it is what it is. Carry on. All in fun.

    Re: Stanford moves to #2 in coaches poll

    You are sure ahead of yourself with Stanford. Lets see how the game goes first.

    Targus: It cracks me up that Autzen stadium is named after an Oregon State Alumni Thomas J. Autzen whose son went there in the late 1930's-40's.

    LOL, even the OSU alums can't stand Corvallis. Crazy what $250,000 could do - back in the day. :)

    It's a cool name, Autzen.

    I think what rubs me the wrong way is the way you debate. I love debates, but I don't like having my face rubbed in it when I'm wrong about something. If I'm wrong, so be it, but you don't have to gloat or constantly keep bringing up something over and over and over again. I'm a casual fan. I love watching the Ducks and I enjoy football, but I'm just not motivated enough to go out and keep up on recruiting or stats or coaching, etc. I think it's great that some fans do because it provides me with insight and information that I would have otherwise not seen. There was a time when I was that guy for basketball, but that's just not my bag anymore.

    My question is, if some of us make an observation during a game, such as "the secondary isn't playing great, that concerns me." Why do you take it as a personal affront to the team and keep bringing it up? It's just an observation. If you want to show us stats and explain why we are wrong, great, more power to you, but I don't see the point in keep referencing those posts and rubbing our faces in it. :dunno:

    Bad Duck, bad. Into the crate.

    I'll make an effort to not rub, but if it's an ongoing debate and stats or a new performance help to show some strengths, well, why not bring it up? It's not about rubbing anyone's nose...it's about talking about our perceptions and looking at stuff. Stuff. It's all just stuff.

    I do admit when I'm wrong...which is pretty frequent.

    The game features Stanford's conference leading D which only gives up an average of only 78.9 yards per game on the ground. But considering their schedule and roster gives reason to be very optimistic. Most of their wins have come against teams who haven't shown the ability to run the ball against anyone. Two teams they've played who have demonstrated a rushing attack are UW and USC, and Stanford was gashed for an average of 6.5 yards per rush in those games.

    Their D generally doesn't rotate in many players and isn't thought to be very fast. I think it's likely they'll be worn down by Oregon's speed and overall pace in the 2nd half. Stanford controlling the clock with their ground and pound is really important to their chances. But Oregon has done well vs the power running attacks of both LSU and UW giving up just 3.6 & 2.3 yards per rush in those games. Luck is going to have to be on his game for Stanford... should be a great one!
