Oregon was their own enemy on Sept 9. The proof is in the fact that since that first game with a new coaching staff that they have not put in a performance that remotely resembled the one against Boise St. Boise St.'s marshmallows are irrelevant to that discussion but perhaps I ...[text shortened]... ut if it makes you feel good to take linguistic liberties then you go on with your bad self.
My bad! I keep thinking they lost against Arizona and forget they came back to win. Holtz offers opinion. Of course he's not always right, but he's generally on the money. I still think they (Ducks) would be toast against TCU. Merely an opinion we can disagree about. neither of us is convincing the other. Further argument pointless. One parting last shot. The Ducks averaged something like 30+ ppg on offense. Being held to 8 points sounds like destruction to me!

The USC team that destroyed OU was loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. Look at that team and see how many of them are playing on Sunday. OU could have easily won that game last year. That OU team wasn't as good as the OU team that SC defeated.

USC got revenged upon by OU this year! USC is a hotbed of NFL prospects indeed!

I forget you are OU north of us (Dallas). I meant Oregon U, not Oklahoma. I got sideways because I had been discussing the Ducks with Badwater.

I thought you were talking about the Ducks all the way. Now the post makes little sense, does it?

Onto other things. Do you like Kelly leaving Cinci befor the Sugar Bowl and going to ND? So Stoops was right all along. BTW, I like Stoops and have rooted for OU in the three recent NCG appearances despite only winning on the first try.

Well it looks as if Brian Kelly, the coach for Cincinnati, will be going to ND. In fact, I hear he won't be there for the bowl game against Florida.

I have to say, I think the NCAA should pass some sort of rule stating that coaches are not allowed to leave their team for another until the season is finished. That just bites.

The season has finished. Now we are just playing bowl games. Bowl games aren't play-offs, they are a unique aspect of college football. The Bowl games really mean nothing.

We are not OU, we are U of O - or UO. 😉

I stand corrected! Unintended entiely. Hard to keep up with all the college acronyms. After all, there are three OSU's, Oregon, Oklahoma and Ohio, 2 USC's, Carolina and Cal. No disrespect intended!

Oh, I know - it's totally crazy out there and impossible to keep up with everyone's local correctness!

I think that might be why Oregon grabbed "O" while they could....there are no other "O's" so no chance of confusion.

Tell the Cincinnati players that Kelly recruited that the Sugar Bowl against Florida "means nothing".

I agree with whodey (for once); this type of behavior shouldn't be allowed. It's a disgraceful abdication of a coach's responsibilities.

It is especially egregious after denying to the kids that he was leaving! Indeed these games mean a lot to the players, the fans, the schools. Now this treacherous bastard leaves them all in the lurch. Players have to sit out a year before playing after a transfer. I am not suggesting coaches do the same but need to wait until after the bowl season. I am no longer a ND fan after this!

I've never been a ND fan. I'm waiting to see if it is as I think it is - Kryptonite to even the most super of coaches.

Its like saying the Super Bowl means nothing or the World Series mean nothing. You play the regular season in the hopes of playing in these types of games.

The coach did the right thing by going to Notre Dame, but he did the wrong thing by not making his team the first to KNOW...
