Morning all. Need to vent for a minute.
I now see what long time duck fans go through. I have witnessed on some of the Stanford boards people calling for coach Shaw to step down, or at least give up some of his offensive control over losses to Utah and USC. For fuck sake, the team may miss a BCS bowl, but they still have a chance to finish 10-2. Do they forget that the same year the Huskies went 0-12 the Cardinal went 1-11? The team has risen incredibly fast from the Teevens and Harris era. To top that off, I cannot remember the last time Stanford had 4 straight 10 win seasons. I mean, for fuck sake, 6 years ago most of them would have been jumping for joy if you told them your team will be between 8-4 and 11-1 for the foreseeable future. Now they are freaking out over 2 losses? I am a 4th generation alum and lifelong fan. The highlight of my life, as a fan, so far, was getting to take my dad to the Rose Bowl last year. He missed all his chances due to having kids and moving around the country for work. I do not see Stanford dropping below 8-4 or 10-2 anytime in the next 4-5 years. That would give them 10 straight winning seasons. That has not been all that common in recent history for my boys on the farm.
Is fan memory really this myopic in all fan bases. If we had the last 10 years of the ducks I could see it a bit more, but this year,? Yes the defensive efforts have been wasted often this season but calling Shaw a predictable and boring coach? FUCK YOU PEOPLE.
/rant. Sorry but I cannot say these things on Stanford boards in quite the same manner.
Oh and all of you picking Stanford to cover 30+ against CAL WTF? I just do not see it. Shaw will call off the dogs if he is up by that much to save steam for ND.
Early on in the season I would have given some pretty good odds that USC would never be 3+ TD favorites on the road vs anybody in the PAC this year.this isnt the official pickem. Utah WSU is still off due to Wilson's injury status that is up in the air still.
lines posted so far.
Washington @ Oregon State - 3 1/2
tie breaker game ASU @ UCLA + 2 1/2
SoCal @ Colorado +22 1/2

TERRIFIC...another "pill poppin" party day for jahii

Complaining, crying & whining

Dude that's you!
And it's because your all jelly over dem Ducks!
I kinda needed to point out how you were in deep with the 'kettle calling the pot black' thing by looking at the schedule for comparison purposes. Never said one word about it before then. Oh and if you don't think those PAC schedule facts are relevant to your win/loss record then you're even more in the 'pot meets kettle' denial realm pretending it's a non factor to this years OR last years record. Y'all missed Oregon this year and Stanford last year, pretty fortunate if you ask me, not complain you see just stating some facts. Yes we missed Oregon last year but it didn't matter as we locked up the South title before the regular season ended. Taking a loss to Oregon wouldn't have changed anything for us because we won the H2H with both you and SC and would have took the South by virtue of them tie-breaker rules.
By the way how in the fuck is that backing in anyhow, it's it because y'all backed out?
Hey that's on your sucky ass team, losing 4 straight games, 2 of them at home, not on my Bruins. And the same goes for the prior year, we locked up the South title before the regular season ended. That's not backing in at all brother, that is getting it done before all other *eligible teams and once again your suck ass team losing 4 straight again with 2 at home. If backing in is y'all backing out then hell I guess when we beat your ass on Saturday, we'll be backing in once again.
Okay, now I'm just picking at you, but you were kinda of asking for it.
No hard feeling brother!

lol I remember that game. I was in the game thread at cbs and a Tennessee tSEC homer said while they were winning, 'welcome to the SEC Oregon! It's this way every week bitches'.
Near the end of the game I threw it back in his face hard. Couldn't help myself.
