    Better question, will the Blazers be better than the PSU Vikings?

    Yes. Ducks have at least 2 more losses. They are lost at the QB position and their defense is looking more and more discombobulated.

    I predict the Blazes have a better chance of making the playoffs than the Ducks do of making the championship game

    In terms of winning percentage it's certainly possible. I could see the Ducks with a 5-7 or 4-8 record. The Blazers would need 35 or 28 wins to beat that. As bad as the 76ers and Lakers will be they're still much better relative competition than Eastern Washington or Georgia State. Throw those worthless wins out and hypothetically the Ducks would've lost 70 or 80% of their games. To better that the Blazers need to win 25 or 17 games. 33 wins if the Ducks are bowl eligible at 6-6.

    Football, no question. Basketball...maybe.

    Better question: will the Duck football team win another game this season?

    I think they'll be underdogs in every game except my Beavs.

    I would say football, but I've been watching the games and just can't lie to you.

    Their secondary plays like a tertiary.

    Love it. Love hearing that my friends "don't care" if they watch "the game" anymore because "they suck". Makes me chuckle. Band wagon broke dem wheels!

    The Ducks and 49ers suck this year, and last weekend they basically lost in identical fashion. I've totally lost my zest for the football season. Now the Blazers are my only hope.
