Weekly Juju extravaganza!

PrintFirst off, we are 7-1...We handily dismissed USC.
We owe all of this to Juju. And as Juju's humble servant, it is my duty to provide a weekly candidate for Juju inflicted shenanigans.
Before I begin, I would like to ask if anybody will NOT vote for Gerhart. If you don't, you are insane. Now that I have alienated a few dozen people, time to begin (I'm licking my chops already!)
Toby Gerhart- A massive halfback that is huge; 6-1, 235. In case you don't know by now, he is massive and huge; and has repeatedly carried Stanford on his back. Last season, he accounted for just over 1100 yards, and accumulated a rather frightening 16 rushing touchdowns. This year, he cracked UW to the tune of 200 yards on 27 carries. Against USC (and a much better o-line than Stanford), we contained Gerharts closest comparison; Allen Bradford fairly well. Fortunately, he is a senior so we will never see him after this (Am I overlooking Stanford now?! PANIC!!!!).
I know we can contain Gerhart, however a little help never hurts.
Andrew Luck-Luck is a very good QB with even better size to follow suit; 6'4 235. Luck has not had a bad game all season; and is in my opinion a better freshman QB than Barkley is. Because of Gerhart we will be stacking the box much like we commonly did against USC. Expect a very similar defense. However, we need our CB's to win their one on one matchups, or else Luck may have a great game. Shall we curse him?
On a final note, We love you for what you have done thus far this season!

My vote goes for Luck.
If we contain or moreover shut down Luck and the passing game, Gerhart is their only other option and that’s when the game is under control for us. Oregon historically does much better against big backs than small backs (ditto with USC, in fact), so I think Gerhart will not be as big a factor for Stanford than Luck.

I voted for Luck for the exact same reason.

BCS, you make me tired.

Luck
Can deal with long Stanford drives through Gerhart, since the Duck offense can score in less than two minutes on any given drive, it’s the big chunks the Ducks have to avoid.
Life is hilarious.
I voted for Gerhart, because the ball will be in his hands almost as much as Luck's
But another one to consider is Owusu. He is a tremendous special teams player (our ST has looked better the last couple weeks, but he is definitely a game changer there). And a speedy WR. It is going to take an entire secondary to keep him in control.

Gerhart
Same thing as Cal and USC, stop the run and force the QB to beat you, if it’s working for us then why change strategy now?
Luck
Because we always stop the run well anyway, because Gerhardt while awesome has had a little bit gimpy leg already, because the QB curse has been working.
Somebody's not really into the whole brevity thing.

Hmmm, third shortest post on the list.
Somebody’s not really into the accurate judgement thing?

I'm not into the whole run-on sentences thing, that is.

Best thing to do when you're talking shit is to make sure you don't fuck up yourself.
Oh, an even better concept is to take a deep breath and relax.

Uhh... sorry?
I was referencing an ATQ joke from a while back, that’s all…
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Six-hundred and ninety-four yards of total offense.
Sorry, missed it, my bad.
My internet sarcasm meter is broke, or maybe I’m grumpy because beating the shit out of USC on Saturday is more fun than working all day and night Sunday.
I will continue to embed Wizard of Oz lyrics in my posts for your ripping pleasure.

Say what about the Wizard of Oz?
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Six-hundred and ninety-four yards of total offense.
My first run-on sentence you were trashing goes:
Becasue… because… because…
ie: Because of the wonderful things he does.
When I re-read it, I thought – no doubt it is a run on and furthermore, it sounds like that fucking Wizard of Oz song.
I don’t know the other reference you’re talking about. I know I’ve written some tomes in my day, and many a run-on sentence.
by Bill Musgrave on Nov 1, 2009 4:58 PM PST up reply actions
My bad, too, in that case.
I don’t remember that song at all — maybe that’s fortunate from your review of it. The last time I saw the Wizard of Oz I was six years old and that fucking witch on the bicycle was freaking me out.

the witch was creepy
but those flying monkey will give you nightmares.

The witch was creepy. But you can kill her with a squirt gun. The monkeys, however, can fly. That means there’s always the chance they buzz your head and get their scraggly little money paws caught in your hair. Kinda like a bat.
By the grace of Juju, we all are day-to-day.
and if you ask CaDuck
some of them throw poo too

yes, good call

Anyway, for clarity, I didn't know you were referencing something. I thought you just had a silly run-on sentence.
And that reminded me of the ATQ “brevity thing” line. No ill feelings.
Addicted To Quack [dot] com; Six-hundred and ninety-four yards of total offense.
It's all good.
I think I’m too new to know the “brevity thing”.
And now, back to replays in my head of Masoli striding 50 yards untouched.
In some ways, it was so much more fun when DB’s tried to tackle him.

also how are we not higher than 8th in the new BCS
Q: How many OSU freshmen does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None, it's a sophomore course.
We are on the west coast and not named USC.
But I would think gameday and the Nat’l spotlight would have helped change that!
"FOCUS LIKE A POO FLINGING MONKEY!"
Any explanation from the poster who voted for an "other" candidate?
I’m just curious :)
"FOCUS LIKE A POO FLINGING MONKEY!"
No kidding. Can anyone – without looking – name a third Stanford player?
By the grace of Juju, we all are day-to-day.
Ha, this made me laugh.
Whalen, Owusu, and Pritchard
Though all three only became “recognizable” after I looked them up.
In addition, it appears the Whitaker family of San Diego, CA produces intelligent kickers, because both #46 Eric (Fr) and #39 Nate (Jr) made the team. Nate starts and is 8/12 on field goals for the season.
Thought everyone would like to know.
by Bill Musgrave on Nov 1, 2009 6:05 PM PST up reply actions
Owusu is who I was going to say.
He’s very, very dangerous on special teams. Though, not sure how much he’s dangerous elsewhere.

First kick returner runs, second returner duplicates and embellishes.

First time I watched that movie I thought it was pretty dumb. Second time, I thought it was decent. The third time, especially after 5 beers, I thought it was hilarious.

Owusu is VERRRRRRRRRYYY dangerous
and if Oregon reverts back to their games 1-5 special teams play, he will make us pay. On O he had a chance on the first pass against OSU to catch a huge TD.. he was like 3 yards past the DB and dropped the ball. I will contend that changed the game, because OSU was looking for the play action the rest of the game after getting TOTALLY burnt on that first play… he just didn’t make em pay

Colt McCoy
And anyone on any of those teams ranked above us!!
Voted for Luck
If we can shut down the QB, good things happen.
Although, I think the tree would be a good “other” choice.
nearly got hit with a t shirt cannon t shirt while typing
worse than travis
-Ben.
I voted Luck
But it was really a toss up. Gerhart is a beast, but I feel like Juju has delighted in shutting down QBs. Best is the obvious exception, but Prince, Tuel, Locker, Barkley…Juju loves him some QB voodoo.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Oh, sesquipedalian Juju - - -
Thank you, revered one, for heeding last week’s prayer (you remember—-something about stomping those smog-sucking southlanders), and bringing victory (in STYLE, SHIT yes!) to your faithful Webfoots.
(Even if you did send me to a 1-4 record in the Jersey Contest.)
We humbly entreat you to shine thy light upon our brave boys again this week as they take on Stanfurd, a school built on the false religion of science instead of on true faith. (C’mon, have you BEEN to Palo Alto?)
We thank thee for the light of thy countenance.
Quack.
Life is a sport: Watch other people play it.
If there is any justice in the world
Juju will smite you just for this.

Juju is a Yankee fan. How else can you explain their century-long success?
Unless (horrible thought) George Steinbrenner actually IS Juju!!!
Life is a sport: Watch other people play it.
Would've voted for Stanzi...
…but Chip Kelly compelled me to stay focused on this week’s game vs Stanford.
"KENNY WHEATON'S GONNA SCORE!! KENNY WHEATON!!--Jerry Allen, 1994"
Okay, so what's the final decision?
It appears the majority have voted for Gerhart, and I can’t really argue with that decision. So get that ugly seal off your avatar and let’s channel Juju’s anger here! We don’t have all week!
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I can't believe that you called that poor little seal ugly, have you no soul?!
The all knowing ATQ masses have spoken, and Toby Gerhart has claimed the dubious honor of being claimed by my profile!
Juju, if there is anything you need, ANYTHING, it is my duty as your humble servant to provide…
"They gained seven or eight yards a carry on their bad plays." -Pete Carroll
I’m very glad Gerhart won. If we stop him, we will win the game.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Well, Luck is no pushover,
They run almost the same offense as USC does, but slightly watered down due to lesser talent. Their recievers are worse, and their O-line is not nearly as good either.
Could be a great game; or an utter domination on our behalf.
If we stop Gerhart, and get up on the scoreboard early; we will easily jog away with it…
TOBY, Toby Gerhart...THE Toby Gerhart? I formally welcome your presence.
