Duck fans better quit worrying about soft Husky fans and start demanding their defense toughen up.

Beav fans should be ecstatic that we have Florida, instead of NC in the Holiday Bowl.

Forget the record of each, instead the longevity and impact of a win. Beating an SEC team, especially one that beat Utah at the beginning of the year, is something that can be sold about the program on the recruiting trail for years to come. It will mark another benchmark with Smith's program. The record books will improve PAC stock and Beavs will always claim the win.

A win against NC is a win against an ACC team... nice, but years from now, will not have the power ont he recruiting trail.

Of the two, Florida is the more likely win, but I will go beyond that and predict that Beavs blowout Florida. That type of score will have real lasting marketability for the Beavs program for at least a decade... NC win, would matter only for next year.

The most insufferable fan base for me has been USC fans, ever since it was announced they're moving to the Big-10, they've been trashing the Pac-12 every chance they get... Talking about how soft it is, what a weak conference it is.

Which I think is ridiculous considering they only won the Pac-12 once.

Not to mention, they seem to hate Utah and I enjoy that as a Utah fan, love seeing Utah spoil the fortunes of USC.

I felt a decent rivalry was brewing there and their fans sound almost as delusional as BYU fans.

Olives are good. Not really the fancy ones, but finger helmets are the bomb, yo!

I’d love to know why Jeff is “repulsed” by Deion...

What you have against cilantro, JC? It's a staple in so many wonderful dishes, in particular those inspired by Mexican cuisine. Don't hate the herb; hate the chef.

TV sports ("to accept the things I cannot change"). As I read about the TV game, today would have been fun the watch the 49ERS, but since Channel 12 considers Beaverton to be Seahawks Nation, I have the blessing of watching their game this afternoon. Before they came along, (yes, I am that old) I used to catch a

Anyone else in Oregon wish they could watch the 49ERS today on Channel 12? Just askin'? ( "to accept the things I cannot change"!)

John. Coach Prime is going to breathe new life into Pac 12 football as will Coach Dilly at ASU; this will entice the conference to stay healthier and attract great players to ALL the Pac 12 members rather then having some recruited successfully to the SEC and Big 10, etc. we should all applaud their hires regardless whether we are Beavers or DuX or Huskies !! No doubt the OSU - Colorado game next year will be a SRO -sell out !!!

If Purdue hires Jim Leonhard as Head Coach, and he's said to be one of the top candidates, this would be the first perfect loop completion in the history of college footall.

Jeff Brohm Purdue to Louisville.

Scott Satterfield Louisville to Cincinnati.

Luke Ficknell Cincinnati to Wisconsin.

Jim Leonhard Wisconsin to Purdue.

…All great things. But nothing…. I mean NOTHING can ever compare to the taste of fresh cilantro mixed with jalapeños, onions and a squeeze of lime 💯🤯

There's no such thing as to much Cilantro...love it.

Maybe Prime will do a Willie T and leave for his 'Dream' job after one season...

Speaking of WT, has there ever been a worse decision than to keep running

Herbert until he got hurt knowing he was the franchise?

What's to stop companies from offering NIL incentives to players to remain at their school and not go pro? For instance, could NIKE make a deal with Bo Nix to encourage him to stay at Oregon another year?

Cilantro is maybe the greatest herb in all of the land.... You people who say it tastes like soap are weirdos

Always an entertaining read and take of football madness in all its glory.

Cilantro, or Mexican parsley by another name, is the basis for many salsas. We thrive on it here in Arizona. Why would anyone despise salsa?!
