Title: Go Ducks!

I never thought I'd become excited by this sport of Spandex and shoulder pads but you can't help but get caught up in the atmosphere around the area. So, Go Ducks! Looking forward to the game tomorrow.

Post by: fbWldcat on January 10, 2011, 09:45:04 AM: I'd say Auburn will win it, if nothing more than actually seeing their play calling (or maybe just rooting for the conference :devil ). Should be a good game. I have the chips and dip ready and the bottles of Ski right over here. :aok

The other one went to the Rose Bowl... (She goes to TCU, mechanical engineer... She's smarter than me... :()

What the hell?!

Git 'em, Ducks! I'm a Beaver, but Golly-geen us Oregonians need some national love! :D

Plus the Beavers had a less than stellar year... And I'm feeling left out...

A couple of my U of O buddies know those cheerleaders. Needless to say I'm quite jealous.

Post by: oakranger on January 10, 2011, 08:22:55 PM: Love the way this game is going.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: trax1 on January 10, 2011, 08:59:05 PM: Yeah great defensive game going, I've got $ on Auburn so hoping they can win by at least 3, but who could have seen a 11-9 score at almost half time, the predicted total score for this game was 73 and I doubts it's gonna get anywhere near that.

And sweet theres an Auburn TD, Newtons coming alive.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: RedTop on January 10, 2011, 09:25:11 PM: Newtons not having a great game...and he's still scarey. Think auburn will win but I'm not rooting for either...just rootiing for a good close exciting game.

Congrats to BOTH teams for great seasons!!!!

and to RPM.....uhhhh.....TCU isn't playing so they aren't the best team in the nation. Sorry ;)

Yeah I'm glad I stayed away from the over under, my Auburn -3 bet is still looking good though, Go Auburn.

Post by: Reschke on January 10, 2011, 10:44:33 PM: Yep I stayed off this stinky fish game 100%. No way I was going to put any money down on it.

Post by: trax1 on January 10, 2011, 10:48:41 PM: Auburn has just completely shut down the Ducks run game tonight.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: Reschke on January 10, 2011, 10:57:28 PM: Yep but for a couple of mistakes by both teams this is a completely different game
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: trax1 on January 10, 2011, 10:57:39 PM: Man I really need Auburn to hold them, or if the Ducks do score I need them to get the 2pt conversion to send it to OT, I can't have Auburn win by just 2.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: trax1 on January 10, 2011, 10:59:18 PM: Thank god they got the 2pts, now I need Auburn to just win, I'll take a win by 3 for a push.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!

Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: trax1 on January 10, 2011, 11:03:50 PM: That was incredible, I don't think he was ever down and he almost stopped running, Wow I hope they get the TD, Woot Go Auburn.

Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: Reschke on January 10, 2011, 11:10:47 PM: WOW that was a great break for Auburn to get down to the 6inch line.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: trax1 on January 10, 2011, 11:11:34 PM: Damn, half a yard, I needed that TD for the win, I'll take push.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: Reschke on January 10, 2011, 11:12:16 PM: At least they didn't line up Newton in the dang shotgun and try to have him jump over the middle.

When they brought Newton back out I was like hell yeah lets go for it, but then he just kinda half tried to get it in, well hell anythings better then a loss so I'll take the push and my money back, but man that would have been sweet if he had just been able to have it cross the end zone before that knee came down, so close.

Post by: Hajo on January 10, 2011, 11:19:56 PM: Having watched Oregon in the rosebowl last year.....and the game auburn played last year in the bowl series.

I expected a better game. Not really impressed by either team <shrugs>

Congrats to both for making it this far!
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: Reschke on January 10, 2011, 11:22:17 PM: Better game than I expected....suburbs defensive line dominated this game all night and Oregon just couldn't figure it out.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: SectorNine50 on January 11, 2011, 01:25:09 AM: I was a bit let down by this game as well, neither team showed up.

Although, I suppose that's how it looks when two evenly matched teams play each other. I was pretty amazed at how many turnovers there were... Pretty sloppy play for #1 and #2...
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: trax1 on January 11, 2011, 02:35:32 AM: Yeah the number of turnovers were a bit surprising, I think in the 1st quarter alone there were 3 int thrown. Everyone was expecting this game to be a battle of offensive lines, but when it was game time it was an all defensive game.

That's because #1 already played and won in Pasadena. :neener:

Playing a Whiny 10 team and squeaking by doesn't count for being the best team in the nation...you gotta beat some real opponents to get that ranking.

No, neither offense showed up. I expected Oregon's run game to be ruined by Auburn, but I expected the game to be high scoring, or at least higher than 22 and 19...

It was a fairly boring game up until the end.

The offenses were playing fine. The defense was outstanding in that game.

Post by: 68ZooM on January 12, 2011, 10:17:44 AM: i was expecting more offense from both sides, i feel the field had alot to do with it, players were slipping all the time

I don't disagree that the defense was outstanding, but the number of times that quarterbacks were throwing into double or triple coverage (or directly at a defender) was pretty staggering for #1 and #2 teams. No one seemed settled, not that I blame em. Playing in the national championship game would be incredibly stressful, the dropped kick return right at the beginning of the game was a pretty good show of that.

This was probably one of the most evenly matched games I've seen in a long time, though.
Title: Re: Go Ducks!
Post by: fbWldcat on January 12, 2011, 02:06:51 PM: Auburn hadn't won a National Title in over 50 years and Oregon never has before. You can imagine the stresses involved. It doesn't surprise me that they were making the bad choices. If the only possibility for a reception equalling yardage is someone in triple coverage, you're going to take it: take a chance.

So... right, the offenses didn't play well.

What? No, you don't risk throwing the ball to triple coverage for a few yards, there is a HUGE risk for a turnover. If you have no options, you either tuck and run, or you throw it away.

Yeah I don't care how long it's been since you've won a national title, you don't go making poor play making decisions like throwing into triple coverage, like SectorNine50 said, you tuck & run, or throw it away, otherwise your throwing the game away, literally, the only possible reason you might start trying things like that is if your down to the last few minutes of the game and you need big plays to win it.
