I'm getting afraid to open my e-mail. No it's not because I'll win a free laptop or meet fabulous singles in my area. It's just that I'm on the list from the Oregon Sports Information Director and the news is always tragic. Last week it was Walter Thurmond III, today it was Willie Glasper going down for the season. I've been harping all spring, summer and early part of the season that I truly believe this is the deepest, most talented roster in program history. They can certainly withstand the occasional injury but this is getting ridiculous. We've seen the quarterback situation go 5 deep the past two years and obviously Masoli is dinged, but the carnage is getting a bit much don't you think? Glasper was the replacement for Thurmond. They were already down TJ Ward. Is it possible to stop practicing, keep the guys in an isolated bubble and just let them out for games? I have all the confidence in the world in Nate Costa, but as mentioned on yesterday's(Tue) show, you can't expect him to immediately play at Masoli's level. That said, the blowouts of Cal & Wazzou now have even more value by presenting Nate with those chances to accumulate some real game experience. As for UCLA, I'm guessing we need a semi-repeat of last year when the Ducks ran all over them. An upgrade in the nearly invisible passing would help and the consensus is Costa might be more of a pure thrower. The Bruins are having major offensive issues with a line that's yet to gel and their own unsettling problem at the quarterback position. More on SportsTalk all week as we break this one down. Also a ton of NFL & baseball's playoffs. Bar set pretty high with the Twins electrifying home victory in extra innings against the Tigers to secure the AL Central title and a shot at the Yankees in round one.
Let's give away some loot. E-mail the answer to the following to get in the drawing for an Oregon T-Shirt and $25 certificate to Billy Mac's Bar & Grill on the corner of 19th & Jefferson in Eugene. E-mail address is: stevetannen@live.com
USC has the most victories in a BCS Bowl game with 6. Three schools are second with 4 wins. Who are they?

Why do you always have to go political you freakin' liberal pinhead!?
Each time you ignorantly and blindly bash people and athletes of a conservative persuasion, you should be bythch-slapped until your accent turns French.
Typical "open-minded", "diverse" and mind-numbed, errrrr progressive liberal that leg-humps all things/people that spew ONLY your braindead-naive-narrow worldview.
There's a real life outside that tiny liberal umbrella you blindly live under -- learn and live it sometime you Punk.
