It’s pretty consistent with what he’s been saying all year.

Yeah… we got this game circled. Its a big deal because USC is such a huge team.

Part of defeating USC is visualizing them as a team that you can beat. Giving them any special treatment would be giving USC a psychological advantage.

Its better for the Ducks not to treat USC any differently than any other team.

And I trust that the team is gonna GO APESHIT BANANAS on U of O’s rally night the day before the game. I trust that the Duck fans will attend en masse and give each and every Trojan in that stadium a heaping amount of grief and smack talk. I wouldn’t expect nothing less, I’d only be surprised by our Trojan team to blow those guys out of their own stadium, thereby silencing the crowd.

Ain’t gonna happen! ! ! !

This resurrected Duck team is playing lights out football these days. My only reply to that would be: But they haven’t played a team as talented, well-coached, and determined as we are this year. Do we, as a team, have issues? Hell yeah we do. (so do they) Are we penalty prone? Yup. Have we gotten lax a few times while being ahead late in our previous games? Uh-huh. And it kinda sucks. Is there the possibility of losing to the Ducks? Yes on that too! Only Boise State has beaten them, and they beat them with Blount in the lineup. Is Oregon as good, if not better than us? Regretfully, yes. And in saying that, there are at least 7 – 9 teams in college football today that people think are better than us- so. . . .next question. Is USC gonna win in Autzen on Halloween Night?

You. Betcha. (however, I’ve not put my money where to back up my words. the +3 pt line is just too much for me to wager on. i’d take ‘SC at even though. i mean, c’mon now! we’re equal in almost every def. and off. category AND we’re playing away IN AUTZEN! if anything, Oregon should be the favorite at +3- i’d just love to see the line for that. i’d pause for the wagering cause if given those betting odds. but. . . . .

See you in Eugene. (hope my car doesn’t get burglarized this time around. them hippies be jacking all kinds of shit from out-of-towners!)
