Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

Media Wednesday: Getting you LaPumped

Media Wednesday makes it's triumphant return with these 2009 highlights from LaMichael James. Sure, you know how fast he can run. Yes, he's an amazing running back. The thing is I just don't think you quite remember what he can do. Sit back, and enjoy these highlights because we have one of the most electrifying running backs in the nation. I've said this in other posts but if you are worried about LaMichael getting the ball TOO much, then look at the possibilities every time he touches the ball.

most under-rated run? the one against Arizona on 3rd down (i think) where he carries about 5 guys and someone that has a hold of his jersey for a few yards and a first down.

That has to be the most consistently ignored and underrated part of LaMichael’s game. I continue to be amazed at not only the power he shows, but his mindset. He knows he can juke guys and seems to do at the right times, but he plows into bigger guys and multiple guys and still gets good yards. I don’t know if it’s the defenders being caught off guard because he’s small so they don’t anticipate it, or if he really has that much power…probably a combination of both.

And in the Yell-O corner, with a 2009 conference record of 8 wins, 1 loss...the REIGNING...DEFENDING...UNDISPUTED Champions of the PAC TEN...the Oregon Ducks!

Was watching the Civil War last night and they mentioned he squats like 470lbs. For a 5’9" guy like that, that’s huge.

Bad info

They were mistaking Masoli’s squat with Lamike’s. I remember thinking how stupid these guys are when they said it as I watched the playback. And of course they never correct themselves when they misspeak.

Coming out of High School three years ago,

LMJ could squat over 405 lbs. 470 seems very believable to me.

Completely agree

I don’t post on here a ton, but I had to make a comment on this. When watching the video, his long runs got me pumped; but, they didn’t stir much awe in me because his ridiculously flashy runs have become his MO. I think what really struck me was watching the video and thinking, “Wow—I kind of forgot how many tough yards he got last year.”

As has been said, he does not receive enough credit for his hard running style because everyone is drooling in anticipation of a big run every time he touches the ball. He truly is a special guy—to be so fast and so elusive, yet never shy away from contact. That takes true football dedication.

Call me crazy, but I can’t remember a time in my nearly dozen years of Duck loving when I appreciated a team more, or enjoyed watching a group of players more. In years past, the way I appreciate LaMike’s attitude is how I felt about 5, maybe 6, guys on our team—the Harringotns, Ngatas, Howrys, Stewarts, etc. Now, I can list pretty much the whole team. They all carry this attitude, desire, and effort. It’s crazy, and I love it. This team really does make me happy to be a Duck fan.

OT here

So I’m buying some beer last night, and I have the wife with me. To her, all beer is the same and she doesn’t get why I’m being a beer snob. She wants me to get cheap beer. Well, I’m not buying straight up piss, so I get some Weinhards Summer Ale, which was on sale for like five bucks for a sixer. Holy crap, I’d have rather bought the piss. That garbage was terrible, and now I have five beers that I’m just going to throw away.

Henry’s dark is all I drank in college, well that and red after they changed the recipe. I haven’t had any of their products for years at this point. I’d rather have Moosehead, Steinlager or sessions if I need to drink something cheaper. Usually I’ll opt for rum or water at that point though.

Oregon vs. USC recap
Then came to this with the “most noise” of course, before we have consciously to mute the sound will be filling out!
2007, USC lost here when the game came when the audience filling sound to 127 db (dB).
In this case, a person can not hear people speak in 30-cm sound.
Today’s goal is 130 db that do not know to reach the end or not.

From the start of the race to the end, we completely dominated the match the whole field!
Powerful offensive team, copper wall-like fielding team
As many as 392 of the rush yard (attack code number), containing as many as 47 points in the score.
USC last let the enemy team has so many rush yard things in 1997.
As many as 47 points, their second highest since the founding of the lost points. (The first high is 48 points)

In particular, less than two seconds in the final last USC offensive opportunities, but touchdowns area in front of the ball intercepted by our players off the end of the match,
The audience is crazy!
Students are also crazy, and we ran into the stadium Kuangchong down there with all the players celebrate with fans! (Hey explosion)
To our carry the quarterback, also picking up our mascot to throw XDDDDD
Quarterback-Masoli was selected today’s MVP!
I do not know ESPN’s cameras were not shine XD
Masoli pass the ball very accurate, good arm strength, the most important thing is Masoli more than a quarterback, he was a running back! !
I would like to Southern California quarterback should now be on our deep impression of the XD

And ultra-Fortunately, I washed down with after school with sister was preparing to go back to when, Masoli from my eyes through the whole A (shocked)
Heroes Eeee (fried) Unfortunately, I can almost touch him …
But school was lucky to see his sister’s shoulder and said to him “Good Game” (envy XD)

I am pleased to announce that I dumb down the throat (Hey)

Want to say is, USC has been a long time since we won the Autzen (music)! !

He’s always has flashes of greatness… He was just consistently making bad decisions. I don’t doubt that Pryor will be great.

It sure does not help that,

He is the most athletic QB in the nation, yet he is trapped in the most vanilla offense in the nation. Craig freaking Krenzel won a NCG as a QB in that system!

I agree

You could see the talent in throughout, it just all came together and he played a great game in the Rose Bowl. It will be interesting to see how the decision of tOSU coaching staff to force him into more of a traditional passer role will affect him in the long term.

I really loved the 3rd and 15 balls he threw up for grabs, and their guys came down with.

Those were AWESOME.

Watching that just made me "Quizz in my pants!"

My buddy stills believes that Quizz is the better back, but all I see is a Midget catching 78 passes and only 1, yeas I said FUCKING 1, TD to show for it……therefore lacking any breakaway talent.

My son was watching Blue's Clues

they were discussing favorite colors. One of the characters said that their favorite color was orange. My son is no longer allowed to watch Blue’s Clues.

And then, somehow,

The Pac-10’s top returning rusher, who shattered the Pac-10 Freshman record with over 1,500 yards, gets snubbed from the Doak Walker watch list. Via the Oregonian.

This has to be a mistake. Not having him on the list is a pretty indefensible position.

Those watch lists are serious business!

Aaron Corp won the Heisman last year just like the preseason watch list predicted, right?

watch lists are stupid

they are a relic from the 60s that have no place in modern college football.

Except for the fact that Kavario Middleton was on the Top TE watch list…which was released over a week after his dismissal from the team.

If actually true,

That is just pathetic.

Psh,

I’ve still got Garrett Embry penciled in as my prediction to win the Biletnikoff award this season.

Nothing surprises me

Wasn’t there a team last year that won their BCS conference by 2 games, yet only had one first team all-conference player?

Sure, in Fantasyland, pal.

If I had to guess, it’s the Beavers, right? They always do less with more, scratch out wins with hardnosed gritty overachieving football players, and eat directly from university sanctioned lunchpails.
