ELUSIVE WORDS by Tannen

Seriously, how often does the ultimate hyped event exceed expectations. For openers, congrats to our S Bowl contest winner Jared, just a point off at Steelers 28-23. Well done, enjoy the golf at Emerald Valley. Gotta tell ya, at 20-7 entering the 4th, I was feeling pretty good about my parlay with Pittsburgh - 6 1/2 with the under 46 1/2. Was even more pleased when the Steeler defense forced a punt and they took posession with a shot at putting the game on ice with any kind of a sustained scoring drive. Here's where that Cardinal defense came up large. After a great run on 1st down by Parker, they stuffed the next run for a big loss, then dumped Rothlisberger for a clutch sack. The ensuing money drive engineered by Warner was crisp, culminating with that terrific 1 yard alley oop to Fitzgerald. You saw the rest. We'll have a massive chat about this on today's program.
I guess there is no more sugar coating things about Oregon men's hoops. It's ugly and there AIN'T no way around it.
