Around SBN: Dolphins vs Patriots: The Biggest Game in Years for Miami Bar-right-arrows



The dux lose, so the Beavs win

Even Bellotti admitted it, he should have put the young QB in sooner.

I just had to point out a duck mistake.

I am an OSU transplant to Boise, but I am not a PAC10 believer.  I'm a Beaver Believer, which means I root for any team that plays Eugene, the city where only those who are extreme enough to be kicked out of San Fransisco live.

I should be nice.  So let me put it this way.  You can still be a duck fan and be a nice person, it's just a lot harder.  That was nice.

So, yes, being in Boise I do root for the Broncos when they're not playing the Beavs (which, by the way, every BSU fan that I know of can't wait for that rivalry to begin again.  They love traveling to Corvallis, and they like the competitive nature of the BSU-OSU matchup).  Today, I was the biggest Bronco fan ever, as a faithful Beaver fan should be.

Ted Miller over at ESPN, with his PAC10 blog wants the PAC10 to dominate.  It makes the conference stronger as a whole, and that's good for each member college.  True to a point.  But I still can't root for the ducks.  No matter what.  Sorry.  Period.

So, it was good to see the BSU offense pick apart UO's secondary.  The ducks can come up with many excuses on offense, but can they on defense?  No, they are what they are.

The ducks offense was the run for three quarters of the game, and was stifled at a three possession deficit.  Finally, Bellotti puts in some freshman QB that can throw the ball, and they score 19 points in the final quarter.

Watch out, this kid could be good (if he don't get hurt).  I think Bellotti finally realized that, but it was a little too late.

It would be great for an OSU team to be an annual top ten team, striving to make the national championship year in and year out, like the other OSU, or USC, or Florida, or LSU.  But that is aways off.  For now, the state's bragging rights are up for grabs.  The Civil War is the game that gets remembered (just like last year, where the bowl game against Maryland could be buried and forgotten as pitiful as it was, but the Civil War game was one to remember).  Even so, I like our friends in Eugene to have losing seasons.  I don't like to hear, "Yeah, you beat us.  So what, we beat Michigan."  So, when the ducks lose (especially at home), that is a W for the Beavs.  But, come late Thursday night, hopefully we'll see something even bigger.
