Curious as to your thoughts on the Attorney General for the State of Utah bringing legal action against the BCS? Mark Shurtleff contends the organization puts schools from the non-major leagues at a financial disadvantage because the opportunity to play for the national title or in the big bowl games is at best limited. I can't imagine in a court of law an outright conspiracy can be proved which is the only way to win this case. Either way, I'm all for shining the light on the BCS for the greedy, hypocritical clown act it is. The Utes are the only D-1 team to roll through the regular season unbeaten then win their post season game & it was a monster victory in the Sugar Bowl over supposed SEC powerhouse Alabama.
Some chat on SportsTalk about the coaching situation on the football front at Oregon. What can we make of the announcement by future coach Chip Kelly that receiver coach Robin Pflugrad and D-line coach Mike Gray will be shown the door when the gig is officially his? Register Guard columnist Rob Moseley used the word "awkward" in today's column. Can't argue with the accuracy of that term. These are guys with families facing getting uprooted from a job they obviously care about. The current coach says he'll make a decision about returning to the sideline sometime in March. Until now I'd have bet the ranch Bellotti was a lock to return. He's gotten a whiff of a national championship twice and the Ducks might be in the picture for 2009. The recent events and comments lead me to believe I caught a break no one wanted to take my bet.
Time to give something away, a $25 gift certificate to Sy's Pizza on Alder Street in Eugene near campus. Lot of talk about how hot the Chargers are heading into the showdown at Pittsburgh this weekend. They'd become the only 8 & 8 team in history to qualify for the Super Bowl. Since the league expanded to 16 games for the 1978 season, who is the only team to make Super Sunday with less than 10 regular season wins. Eliminate 1982 and 1987 when the year was cut short by a strike. Oddly enough, last year's Giants and the 88 Niners are the only teams to make it(both won) with as little as 10 wins.

Have a great Wednesday.
