Carroll At It Again...

Even though we as Oregon fans have a hatred for Neuheisel it's great to see him sticking pointing "Pissy Pete" out. Is it me or does Carroll act just like a 2 year old when he/she doesn't get something they want? Grow up Carroll and pick your battles.

Carroll At It Again...

The fact that the Trojans are willing to give up one time out per half so they can wear their home jerseys at the Rose Bowl vs. UCLA this weekend just reiterates how pompous Pete Carroll can be. As Moseley points out, while Oregon may get a lot of attention for their uniforms, they've never let it affect the game itself.

I'd love to see Carroll get taken out like Charlie Weis... Maybe then he'd learn a lesson for being a prick.

Another Night Game

According to Moseley, the Ducks will play a night game at Autzen for the second time this year. The Ducks will kick off their homecoming vs. UCLA at 7:15 next Saturday.

The Football Monopoly...

So if you didn't hear about (or see) the UCLA ad that appeared in the LA Times before the start of the college football season, here it is... Even stated as "The Best Ad Ever" on the LA Times Bruin blog. I thought it was fairly clever at the time but it seemed very (very very) premature. Sure UCLA's huge season-opening win over Tennessee had fans (and others) chugging the Kool-Aid but how do they feel now that their team has had a demoralizing 59-0 loss to BYU and 31-10 loss to Arizona? I'm sure they have lowered their expectations much like the rest of Pac-10 teams this season.


Which brings me to another brilliant advertisement I found on Chat4quack's best-thread-ever "A picture is worth a thousand words" (Yes, you need to register). I doubt this was actually an ad in the LA times but a photoshopped picture of the original, hilarious nonetheless.
