Great Teams...

WARNING: This post may have objectionable content. Its also late as most of said content is based on the Stanfurd game.

1) I overheard someone leaving the game last Saturday saying something that was rather puzzling. The remark was "well, great teams find a way to win". I went ahead and assumed that he was talking about the game that had just transpired at Autzen as he was wearing a lot of Oregon attire and his friend had just commented on Oregon's narrow victory over Stanford.

I've heard this statement rear its ugly head from time to time; like after the Purdue game, Oklahoma from 2006... I have prepared another statement that makes a lot more sense. Great teams don't put themselves in situations where they have to come back in the last 2 minutes. Granted, it is fun to see and isn't easy to do, but I wouldn't necessarily award Oregon with great team status for such a showing. However, it would still be impossible to argue with the statement that Oregon is better than OSU (and consequently USC) because Oregon > Stanford > OSU > USC. Don't even try to dispute my reasoning, it is flawless.

2) Booing. Lots of people are pissed off about the booing. I'm still undecided. As fans, we couldn't very well cheer at some of the shenanigans that went down on Saturday because that could be misunderstood as a positive reinforcer. Contrary to popular belief, booing was probably the best thing we could have done last weekend to look good for the recruits. They probably said to themselves, "wow, these fans are actually paying attention to the game and providing the appropriate feedback" (I actually heard from a friend of a friend sitting next to the recruits that one of them actually said that, and all the other recruits agreed).

3) Lastly, this is how I feel when thinking about the new uniforms and how ugly they might be:
