Early thoughts on the CW 09 (AKA Armageddon)

Because it's only the biggest damn CW of our lives, and possibly one of the most important games we'll play if it gets us to the Rose Bowl, I figured I'd start the panic and the focus early.

For a start, we need a name for the game. We can't overhype this enough. I'm proposing "Armageddon". I'm open to any better alternative as I've given this all of four microseconds thought so far. I'll add some others below.

Next, lessons learned from the past few games. Here's my wishlist.

1. Burn those white pants, please. Never wear them again. Oregon should wear green or black (preferably black) pants every remaining game.
   
2. Clean the butter off those hands (Masoli, looking at you). No fumbles, please. No damn turnovers. We will not beat the Beavers with sloppy play.
3. Sorry, but you don't get any quarters off in this game. This will take 60 full minutes of intense, focussed football, as superbly as we can play it.
4. No avoidable penalties, please (TJ, looking at you). No taunting, no celebrations, no idiocy. Just play the damn game and celebrate afterwards if you win. No intentional facemasks. Keep your head in the game.
5. Can we get our snapping problems sorted out, please? Only a miraculous play from Costa and Flint saved a crucial extra point to keep us in the game from going awry. And that's not counting all the blown plays with high snaps to Masoli.
6. No flapping. Unflappable play, 60 minutes, no matter what the situation is.
7. Get LMJ into the game early. If we don't find a way to balance the attack, we make it much harder on ourselves.
8. No stupid pre-rushing of field. (I don't think I need to say it to anyone in Autzen, but just in case). It ain't over till it's over. No pre-assuming, no hubris, no silly arrogance about how we have it in the bag, even if we _are_ up by 40.
   
9. Please, Autzen and Eugene crowds, please please behave decently. No throwing stuff, no beating up of or throwing things at OSU fans, let's just show some class. Because the country will be watching.
10. FOCUS! and PANIC!!!!
11. Win, please, please, please, please, please. Let's win this one...
12. ALL HAIL JUJU!! [Updated]
