PrintThe elevator returns after a week off for repairs. When you have a big win against California, everyone wants to party in the elevator. Unfortunately, JShufelt brought TOO much beer and chips causing a mad rush at the buffet table. We have reinforced the doors and expanded capacity. We apologize for any issues this may have caused. Now that the dust has settled, let's check where people lie after they passed out.
Ed Dickson: If back to back games with over a hundred yards wasn't enough, how about breaking Justin Wilcox's record for most receptions by a tightend for a career with 104? Although he didn't complete it, how about big Ed throwing a pass towards the endzone? He's had a great couple of weeks after being relatively quiet in the opening weeks of the season. Elevator: Up 1 Floor
Javes Lewis: Nabbed his first career interception by picking off Marshall Lobbestael in the second quarter. He has stepped up to provide a solid force in the secondary. Elevator: Up 1 Floor
Jamere Holland: Has anyone seen Jamere Holland lately? He played significant time during the Washington State game with the second string but DJ Davis appears to have taken the starting job away. For a guy who looked to finally have a breakout year, this is a major setback. His body language looked good on the field but this can't sit well. If you aren't getting looks against Washington State with the second string, when are you going to get some looks? Elevator: Down 2 Floors
Jackson Rice: This guy will be playing on Sundays, hands down. For one of our main concerns coming into the season, Jackson continues to deliver week in and week out. Great punt to pin Washington State on their 5. Elevator: Up 1 Floor
LeGarrette Blount: People have questioned his motives, his character, called him a thug and a felon, say he should be jailed, and all he's done is try to get his life together and be a good a teammate. He wrote an apology letter in the Oregon Daily Emerald. What else can the guy do? Critics seem to insist that he become the poster child for "bad character" and that he should pay for anyone that even thought about doing something bad. In the face of all those things and having his name continously sullied in local media, he keeps on doing what he needs to do to recover his image. When LGB graduates and moves on to the NFL, we'll see if the local media continues their grudge, especially when the national media has almost universally praised the decision. Elevator: sporting a nice new shiny tie for his elevator security job
Jide Shinaba: who knew Jibe before the Washington State game? Not even Don Essig as he tried to figure out who #31 was when he was busy running the ball in the 4th quarter. 4 carries for 16 yards as a walkon. Elevator: Up 1 Floor

Mike Bellotti as a color commentator
Up 1 floor. He was very fun and offered a nice perspective on the team.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I actually have started taping the replay and watching the game all over again
He brings more insight and knowledge to the booth than I have seen in a long time…..anywhere
I saw him today at the Oregon Club, and asked him, " Do you think that you may have missed your calling?"
He looked a little bewildered and I said, “Color commentator.” He said, “Hey, thanks, That WAS fun.”
Is Oregon becoming Punter U?
It's spelled "T-A-K-O-T-U-E-S-D-A-Y-S-!-!-!."
I support inroywetrust in his support of The VD Special in his support of me supporting Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
Two burning questions
One, is is “Jibe” or “Jide”?
Two, how do you pronounce “Javes”? Is it like the Spanish “Javier” (Ha-vayss)? Is it similar to Spanish except with a hard ‘J’ (Ja-vayss)? Does it rhyme with ‘waves’? Or does it rhyme with ‘savvy’ (except with an ‘s’ on the end, of course)?
I’ve never heard his name called on a broadcast, and I didn’t watch the part of Saturday’s game where he got the INT, so I still don’t know. Please help!
I feel the need, the need...for speed!
Jide's the man
and it is pronounced JU-DAY and JAY-VIS
Jide Shinaba
I have been good friends with Jide (JE-DAY) for a couple years now, and it was great to see him get some action. He had a nice explosive burst into an open lane which he broke out for a 12 yard run. He is good, not great, but good. And hopefully we see him more in these mop up situations. And hopefully there are more mop up situations if the Ducks offence can continue to spark.
Kelly said that Jide's the "hardest working guy in practice. Every day. Every day. He makes everybody work harder."
Also, Remene Alston is doing punt return practice. Pono Kam got some special teams play. You know that he just got awarded a scholarship…as a senior.
Kelly said it was the best Monday practice they’ve had this year. Ask about Masoli’s injury, he smiled and said, “He’ll be back tomorrow.” On JT Ward, “He practiced today. And, we’ll find a place for him. That Boyette is really playing good, tho’, doncha think?” Followed by applause, I think both for the news of Ward and validation for JB
You know, I don’t really care if our special teams returners are good anymore.
I just want them to HOLD ONTO THE FREAKING FOOTBALL

or at least don’t try to catch it at the 1 yard line … that being said though, if Grady had caught it, and had a skateboard under his feet, I think he could have done some amazing things!!!
Where is the elevator for CaDuck and the juju...ok, I'll do it
After messing up the first three games of the year with an ill-advised screen name and picture that subsequently brought two of the duck players down. CaDuck has responded by turning the juju on the #1 rushing Heisman candidate to the tune of 55 yards and followed it up by helping get the WSU future at QB, Tuel, pulled after the first quarter. Elevator: Up 2 Floors
P.S. Great work CaDuck, next up for the juju, UCLA
Hi, my name is Matt Daddy and I am a....
HUGE FREAKING DUCK FAN!!!!!!... "Hi Matt Daddy"
CaDuck’s work, combined with my playoff beard are doing WORK. I said after BSU I wasn’t going to shave until they lost. This thing might get out of control before it’s all said and done.
Guy behind me at Autzen says "why do the fans yell 'OOOOOO' when we are on D?" He then proceeds to yell "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" on every defensive play for the rest of the game. As Carlos Mencia would say, "Dee Dee Deeeee".

After last weeks momentary debacle
with having Lobbestael’s pic up, I will not let my guard down again!!!
Formerly, thats a no-go.
I apologize for my ignorant and blatant lack of refinement in terms of my cursage. I did not know much of this Tuel feller so I accidentally used another innocent mans picture. Believe me, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!
What debacle? Lobbestael played most of the game. Clearly your are a prophet, a seer of wisdom not visible to the common man.
BTW, keep up this run and you might even get invited to that back room of the Penthouse, where entertainers are waiting to, well, “entertain” you.
By the grace of Juju, we all are day-to-day.

it was Josh Wilcox's record
Justin, his brother, was a DB
