Congrats Peter on a dominant performance by your Ducks! I'm sure glad we're playing Notre Dame and not y'all Monday night. I hope your coach doesn't leave. I think he'd be nuts to leave Oregon for the NFL. The Oregon job is a great job because there is no pressure like there is in the SEC. I don't know why the NFL would be more appealing to him. He seems like a college type coach anyway. If he stays put, I think you guys can win the National Championship pretty soon. But either way, great job tonight! Enjoy it.  Selam |

One thing looming on the horizon for the Ducks, though: We're probably going to have to endure a couple of penalty years for some recruiting violations. The university has worked very closely with the NCAA on this, and I don't think we're going to be banned from any postseason games, but we may lose a few scholarships. If Chip has any class, he'll stick around and take the heat, but class seems to be something in very short supply among college football coaches. I hope Mr. Kelly shows himself as having more class than the average college coach. One Duck to watch out for the next few years (if he holds true to his commitment to play for them): Thomas Tyner, the Oregon high school record holder for single-season rushing yards (3,415), single-game rushing yards (643), single-game scoring (10 TDs), and the 100m dash (10.35). At 6'0", 208 pounds, this kid is big, strong, and has world class speed. |

I thought he would be hired away a long time ago, but he likes where he's at and he has cultivated sustatained success. But Oregon is even better because they are in a top conference and they can actually compete for a National Championship. I am not trying to be sarcastic, but I really don't know about their academic standards. How does Oregon compare academically to Stanford and Cal? I can't believe Tennessee didn't go after David Shaw. I love the way Shaw coaches and I think he would be outstanding in the SEC. If Oregon is easier academically, you guys may want to pull a coup and steal Shaw away from Stanford. If you could pull that off, you guys would become a perenial power. Selam |

Chiefs release both head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli. And they've signed Andy Reid as the new head coach. PLUS guaranteed top pick in the 2013 draft.
Look out Broncos, we're coming back and headed to knock you off your high perch.

Lance Armstrong, who this fall was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for doping and barred for life from competing in all Olympic sports, has told associates and antidoping officials that he is considering publicly admitting that he used banned performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career, according to several people with direct knowledge of the situation. |

My NFL playoff bracket:
Round 1:
Ravens over Colts
Bengals over Texans
Seahawks over Redskins
Packers over Vikings
Round 2:
Broncos over Bengals
Patriots over Ravens
Seahawks over Falcons
Packers over 49ers
Divisionals:
Broncos over Patriots
Seahawks over Packers
Super Bowl:
Broncos over Seahawks
Let's see how it goes. I'd love to see Cincy beat Denver, but I tried to be at least somewhat realistic here. But hey, if Peyton chokes in the playoffs and Marvin Lewis doesn't, maybe my dream will come true.

I just realized I screwed mine up, and that the winner of the Bengals/Texans game will play New England. I suppose my predicted outcome will be about the same, although taking down New England seems more feasible than taking down Denver. |

WE JUST NEEDED FIVE MORE YARDS!!! IF WE HAD JUST SPIKED THE BALL!!! IF WE JUST HAD A FEW MORE SECONDS!!!! IF WE JUST HAD ONE MORE TIMEOUT!!!! IF ONLY HE HADNT TIPPED THE BALL, THE RIGHT RECEIVER WOULDVE CAUGHT IT!!!! These are all things UGA fans have been saying since the SEC Championship. Woudve, couldve, shouldve... I know youre tired of hearing about the Dawgs (since im the only dawg fan here) but Im proud of my team. It was an honor to play the best team in the country (Alabama) in the best conference's (SEC) title game. And we couldnt have asked for a better match. I say we leave it at that. We lost. Its time to get behind Alabama and pull for them to bring yet another title home to the SEC!! How bout it, Gebre? Also, as Orthodox, arent we canonically required to NOT root for Notre Dame?   |

Congrats Peter on a dominant performance by your Ducks! I'm sure glad we're playing Notre Dame and not y'all Monday night. I hope your coach doesn't leave. I think he'd be nuts to leave Oregon for the NFL. The Oregon job is a great job because there is no pressure like there is in the SEC. I don't know why the NFL would be more appealing to him. He seems like a college type coach anyway. If he stays put, I think you guys can win the National Championship pretty soon. But either way, great job tonight! Enjoy it. One thing looming on the horizon for the Ducks, though: We're probably going to have to endure a couple of penalty years for some recruiting violations. The university has worked very closely with the NCAA on this, and I don't think we're going to be banned from any postseason games, but we may lose a few scholarships. If Chip has any class, he'll stick around and take the heat, but class seems to be something in very short supply among college football coaches. I hope Mr. Kelly shows himself as having more class than the average college coach. One Duck to watch out for the next few years (if he holds true to his commitment to play for them): Thomas Tyner, the Oregon high school record holder for single-season rushing yards (3,415), single-game rushing yards (643), single-game scoring (10 TDs), and the 100m dash (10.35). At 6'0", 208 pounds, this kid is big, strong, and has world class speed. Hope the violations aren't severe. But either way, Oregon has built a program that will be highly attractive to other good coaches. They've proven they can get top notch talent, and like I said, the lack of pressure at Oregon compared to other places is appealing. I respect what Christ Peterson has been able to do at Boise State. I thought he would be hired away a long time ago, but he likes where he's at and he has cultivated sustatained success. But Oregon is even better because they are in a top conference and they can actually compete for a National Championship. I am not trying to be sarcastic, but I really don't know about their academic standards. How does Oregon compare academically to Stanford and Cal? I can't believe Tennessee didn't go after David Shaw. I love the way Shaw coaches and I think he would be outstanding in the SEC. If Oregon is easier academically, you guys may want to pull a coup and steal Shaw away from Stanford. If you could pull that off, you guys would become a perenial power. Selam The Ducks have already named their offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich to be Kelly's successor should Chip leave for the NFL. It's official. After Cleveland passed on hiring Kelly, allegedly because they felt that Kelly wasn't 100% committed to coaching an NFL team next year, Kelly confirmed their suspicions by his decision to stay at the U of O next year. Chip Kelly is staying home. |

Advantage of being in a fan base with a huge TV market: every game is on standard cable. (Louisville's TV market is like the biggest in college basketball or something)

Well hey, atleast he's a realist.
What happens if ND doesnt show up for the second half?
