Game Thread: OREGON vs Stanford

[UNA Lion]

I like the defense that Stanford fields, but don't think they can best the Ducks this season.

We've had this conversation before. There is a difference between being confident in and supporting your team and being a classless obnoxious homer. The latter is the reason you're one of the laughing stocks of this board.

yup. His posts alone almost make me want to root against the Ducks.

so I should apologize for being confident in my team? Each year Oregon gets better and better, of course I am going to be confident and excited.

The problem is how you present that confidence including many of your fellow Duck fans. Everyone else is accused of being a troll or being disruptive right on the thread, by moderators and others, if they talk big about their team or compare them to others, while others get a free pass. and they do it big time mild compared too many Duck fans! I think you should talk good about your team. We sure are'nt on here because of other teams. Just don't be so obnoxious and the mods should be a little more equitable!

IF Oregon were to lose this game, i'll shut my mouth until week 1 next season. But until then I will sing Duck swag all day long.

Fify

SURPRISED.................NOT!

I am not saying Stanford wins. But I have seen crazier shit happen.

Bingo.

We have been told by at least one mod that too many pick on OcD and we are all the assholes. I guess I should lobby for a UW fan to become a mod so I can go into full on crazy troll mode full time and have my own personal protector.

thats why the game is played. Nobody saw Baylor beating KSU, Stanford beating Oregon, aTm beating Bama.

All those teams were heavily favored.

Gotta win on the field. Not the message board.

 

[WizardHawk]

I doubt anyone would put money on Stanford to win straight up on this game. Oregon should win and it shouldn't be close. All anyone is saying is an upset is always possible and Stanford at least has a blue print from their own history on how to do it.

Those damn holiday weeks tho..

This one may be close for the first half, but Oregon is too much for the Trees. Oregon by 14+ in the end.

I'm looking for something different than blowing out a lot of hot air. Oregon fans are by far the cockiest bunch on these boards. Why? Because they score a trillion points and think they are unstoppable. Flash sells! However, I can't get over how no one covers the receivers. Handoffs up the middle or around the end are rarely contested. But each year Oregon plays a couple teams with a physical defense and for some reason is held waaaay under their Avg. This seems to be a unique year with 4 teams being in a tier by themselves. You then have about 4teams on the next tier that could hang but eventually lose and maybe big by the end. In my book Oregon could win but if they are held way below their average it will.show me what Oregon really has. Beating up on a bunch of nobodies. This game intrigues me because I think Stanford is good, but much like Miami, way overrated. So if they hold Oregon down it will prove what I already believe, FSU is definitely the #2 ranked team. Remember before I'm attacked by every Duck fan and their SportsHoopla brother, this is my opinion.

Actually Oregon does OK with the physical defenses Stanford's defenses havent changed a whole lot over the last 3 seasons where they ranked 21,26,20 in 2010, 11, and 12. Oregon did ok in 10 and 11. Oregon has a winning record over ranked defenses over the last few years too. it just happens that the few losses also came from top defenses.

I agree. Nothing against mamba and other good Oregon fans, but I want to see another OD meltdown.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Sorry guise.

Dont be disapointed. Stanford will need a miracle. They cant score this year and the defense is nowhere near last years. Add to that Ben Gardener and Anderson out. Long day for Stanford.

 

[WhiteMamba]

ASU has a much better shot at beating Oregon @ Autzen in a CCG than Stanford does in Palo Alto.

 

[WhiteMamba]

2013: Very bad matchup for Stanford.

Probably so, but still gotta play the game and I can still hope for another OD meltdown

Hey Mamba, I think OD hacked your account...
