Just wanted to run a few items past the knuckleheads who claim to be supporters of the University of Oregon football program. Notice I've stopped calling those who boo and don't get what Mike Bellotti has accomplished here fans because they're not.
The Ducks are 8 & 3 heading into the Civil War with at least a trip to the Holiday Bowl on the line. This is the 113th season of U of O football. Here is the list. 1948, 1959, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2007. In just 7 other years have the Green & Yellow or black or silver or whatever entered the Civil War with at least 8 victories. The 1928 team won 9 games but played Oregon State in week 7. This team has been booed, dissed, called mediocre and other negative monikers. The bottom line is Duck football has been in the same or a better position as they prepared for the season finale all of 8 times. Figure it out.
How similar have the seasons of Oregon & Oregon State been thus far. Each has a pretty lopsided defeat at the hands of a team pretty much ticketed for a BCS bowl. USC over Oregon, Penn State beating OSU. Both have lost to a team poised to be a BCS bowl buster. Beavs falling to #7 Utah with the Ducks coming up light to #9 Boise State. Each has a conference loss that makes you want to put your fist through the television. The messy turnoverfest at Cal by Oregon with Oregon State seeing their comback at Stanford end with Darrell Catchings version of the idiotic 'reach'. Lot to chat about on this Monday including more incompetence from the NFL refs and some embarassing performances at both the pro & college level.

And speaking of embarrassing, what's with that modish fashion nonsense the Ducks call uniforms? Oregon swanks around in fatuous, teenybopper-style black-and-gray uniforms as if they are trying to appeal to the Hanna Montana crowd. News flash to Oregon Ducks football: School colors are green and yellow. Next thing you know, the Ducks will be wearing lipstick.
Well, I have sat back and listened to all the supposed Duck football fans. The "fans" are all really young or just plain stupid. I have been a fan since the early 70’s and been through thick and thin. The only reason they are as competitive this season is due to the coaching staff. All the knuckleheads want to fire Bellotti there are a few thing to consider first.
1) The facilities and backing of Phil Knight are the only reason the Ducks are as competitive as they are. If you were an 18 year old young man and went to USC or Texas for example then Eugene what would your choice be? Lots of sights at these other places if you get my drift.
2)Look at the talent that has left early the last few years.
This is a readjustment year and they are doing fine.
Go Ducks!
