Oregon State 10, Oregon 14 (2nd 2:08)

1. God, Oregon...

Do you honestly have to have 100 different uniforms? Can you at least throw these in the trash?

Edit: Or are they the Nike Pro Combat uniforms that several schools have used once this year. Mizzou's were awesome.

2. I don't care what they're wearing as long as they win!

Go Ducks!!!

3. They used to only change costumes at intermission (halftime)

Now I think it's after each quarter.

Go Beavs!

4. Major choke job in progress at the half

Ducklings down 2 after giving up a two-minute drill in which they let the opposing QB look like Tom Brady. I could give a rip about Oregon and its weekly fashion emergencies, but both Cal and Stanford are counting on them to win to get into half-decent bowl games. If this holds up, Stanford and its (former) Heisman candidate could fall to the Las Vegas Bowl. :scared: Besides, OSU, barely even ranked, isn't exactly a marquee Rose Bowl team.

5. Oregon isn't really known for its defense

They're all about the 'O.'

That little RB for OSU was impressive on that last drive to extend State's lead.

6. 16 is a pretty good ranking

Particularly when you take into account the bias that says nobody west of Texas knows how to play football except USC and occasionally Washington.

Anyway, the Ducks win. Nice appetizer to the main course for this weekend in college football. That's right, folks, I'm talking about the Big One: Linfield and St. Thomas. See y'all at Maxwell Field on Saturday for the Division III quarterfinals. Go Cats!

7. At least you guys have a playoff
