Bowl talk

Autzen Powers · #1 (**permalink**) 12-20-2005, 05:10 PM

It's time we start some bowl talk about all the teams. The game I can't wait to see Pac-10 put some smack down on is the ASU/Rutgers game. I can't wait for all the games of course, but this one I think I won't have to sweat through, with clenched fists.

As much as I want to see ASU win, and I really do, what beaf do you have against Rutgers?

Autzen Powers · #3 (**permalink**) 12-20-2005, 05:17 PM

no beef w/ Rutgers. Just want to see ASU have a high scoring game and get some revenge for the season known as the "big diasappointment". I have had a strange affinity for ASU, ever since the "miracle in the desert" and our Oreogn/ASU games since then. I've felt like they were an under-appreciated team in the pac-10, that and they battle hard all the time. (work ethic? - dunno) Just my own weirdness.

Ah, I thought you had something against THE State College of New Jersey. I like ASU becasue they have a former UO coordinator and of course they are a Pac 10 team.

oh, also, like I said up there, I think it's the one game I won't have to sweat over. I'm a little nervous for the rest.

Actually I am nervous for ASU, I think Cal has the cream puff. I don't think BYU has beat a team with a winning record this year except for Colorado St.

Autzen Powers · #7 (**permalink**) 12-20-2005, 05:32 PM

really? you think Rutgers could beat ASU? And Cal has a cream puff? well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. (don't you just hate that saying?)

okay, so what about the rest? Who's gonna have the best game after Cal? USC?

My predictions this year have been about as close to accurate as Paul Wolfowitz claiming that our troops would be greeted with flowers and candy as they enter Iraq, oh and the fact Iraq could pay for its own contruction. Sorry, I digress.

Anyway, I'm not sure. I think both UO and SC have tough games. I really would like to watch UCLA vs Northwestern, I think it will be the most entertaining game of the bowl season, but I think the game is a early afternoon game and I will be at work. ASU and Cal probably have the best chance of winning and with the way UCLA is playing I think they have the strongest possibility of losing. SC and UO could go either way. IM humble O,

I'm wrong. BYU has beaten three teams with winning records: Eastern Illinois (power house there), New Mexico St, and Colorado St.

oh no, you doubt Oregon. I was starting to doubt it, too, until my boyfriend smacked me silly last night. But now I'm back to doubting again...especially after having read all about the Sooner's defense today. They could break through Oregon's O-line and make the pass game impossible. I also worry that special teams will kill us.

I think the USC game depends on which USC team they bring to the game. The one they brought to Notre Dame will get stomped on by Texas...Same goes for UCLA and their game w/ Zona, with respect to Compass.

UO special teams...........SCARY!!!!!

Autzen Powers · #12 (**permalink**) 12-20-2005, 10:04 PM

exactly!

Autzen Powers · #13 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 06:12 PM

how big of a threat to you think AD is to Oregon's defense? They're calling him the next Reggie Bush on Sooner boards.

Go-Pac · #14 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 07:14 PM

AD? Do you mean Adrian Peterson (AP)? Well AP is OUs biggest and only real offensive threat. Peterson I think is more of a cross between Lendale White and Reggie Bush. He is stronger than Bush, yet faster than White. I think the Ducks will stack the line to stop AP and force OU freshman QB Rhett Bomar, who has been incosistant all year, to beat them. OU's defense will be the best that the Ducks have faced all year. It could be a low scoring game and the team with the fewest turnomvers, penalties, and mistakes on special teams will win. I crack myself up with that last sentence. The team with fewest mistakes will win 99% of the time...duh.

Autzen Powers · #15 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 07:36 PM

Yeah, AP. Sooners call him AD - it's a nickname of sorts. I can't remember what it stands for. Do you think we'll see the no-huddle or was that made more for Clemens?

Go-Pac · #16 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 07:39 PM

It is possible. I think the only time the Ducks used no huddle outside of the last few minutes of the half/game was against Fresno. Bellotti will use it if he needs to generate a spark for the team and try to get OU's defense on their heels.

Autzen Powers · #17 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 07:54 PM

I just hope we don't get blown away. Most sports writers are favoring Oklahoma to win.

Go-Pac · #18 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 08:08 PM

Yeah, I noticed that. I think Oregon will win, but it should be a good game. By the way, bite your tongue for suggesting Oregon might get blown away. Shame on you.

Autzen Powers · #19 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 08:12 PM

OOOW! I juss bi' my tung!

Go-Pac · #20 (**permalink**) 12-21-2005, 08:20 PM

Hate it when that happens.
