Around SBN: Bill Stewart Dead From Apparent Heart Attack

Ducked Up Images: Eddie Pleasant

Pleasant-1_medium

Eddie Pleasant had a great 2009 season as only a Sophomore.  He was sixth on the team in tackles.  Tied for second on the team in sacks, and third on the team in tackles for a loss.  He also ended up setting career highs in all three categories.  Had a career high 9 tackles against BSU, had his first career interception against Utah (and his first tackle of a teammate).  Finally, this year he also had three consecutive games with a tackle for a loss.

Star-divide

 

At times it seemed like Pleasant was everywhere on the field.  Being an undersized LB, he had to make up for it with a lot of speed and hitting.  It appears that Oregon is going to be moving Pleasant back to safety/rover this upcoming year, both because of his size and the large stock of really good linebackers Oregon has.  While his position might be different this year, I'd expect his stats, production and omnipresence to be just as high.

Heh. From that last video:

…with his quickness getting by that size up front of Arizona

I don’t think his quickness had all that much to do with him getting by the lineman.

Him and Ward blew up their players. That was awesome.

TJ Ward had a few massive hits in that game.

I remember that TWICE he pretty much picked up his man and drove him into the ground with his (Ward’s) shoulder.

That game was just….insane. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it. There were huge hits, great offensive plays, and us punking the hell out of those UA student section bitches.

I still maintain that all of the Zona fans I talked to were cool.

I must not have talked to any of the bottle-throwers when I as in Tucson. That game was stellar. One. Of. The. Best. Games. Ever.

I have never cared for the online social networking sites.

In Middle School I never got a myspace, now I don’t have a facebook. In two years I probably won’t have whatever is popular then. If I set one up I would probably just work on if for a half hour the day I set it up, then never look at it again. Maybe I will decide to get a facebook page sometime in the future.

Before the game?

Or during the last drive and the overtimes?

I was fairly confident we would beat UA before the game, but I was almost on the ground in a fetal position during that last drive.

the last drive.

I didn’t move. I just kept thinking “It only has to happen once.”

I almost had a heart attack when we handed the ball to LMJames on the 3rd and 10 around the fifty or so.

But he slipped through the defense and picked up 15 yards for a first down. Right then I knew we would pull this one off.

Yes. One of the greatest games ever.

I drove up from Eugene, JShufelt drove down from Portland and we met at dvieira’s new home in Albany. We shared some exotic beers, had some great hard cider and at halftime had a private reading of The Night Before Gameday (had to make sure Shu was cool with it). I think I stood the entire second half. And paced. I found myself on the floor when Dickson scored – I think I was doing snow angels in Dom’s carpet.

and I can totally picture you doing snow angels after that touchdown.

Eddie Pleasant is so scary

That the offensive linemen (the smart ones) get out of the way when he attacks to avoid lots of pain.

I'd love for Gus Johnson to call an Oregon game

If only because he’d probably set a record for number of times someone said, “Here comes the pain.” in a single game.
