Amazing times we're living in. Sure, there's a bunch of important stuff going on outside of the State of Oregon, but can anyone really think of anything other than the upcoming Civil War? This winner take all match up will make the next week and a half go soooooo slowly that we'll all be pulling our hair out waiting for kick off. Can't they just play it tonight? Please? Please?!

Here's some crap from around the internet:

Great news: Coug week is officially over.
The Beavers and that other team from The Beaver State top Ted Miller's PAC 10 rankings. As an Oregonian, it's nice to see the rest of the PAC 10 looking to the best state in the Pacific Northwest for its champion. Miller also points out that we really want to win the Civil War, mmm k? Oh, and Lyle Moevao is tweeting. I'd prefer injured players refrain from tweeting bulletin board material but you know what, who cares.

Daschel weighs in on the PAC 10 standings.

More on the possible bowl mess. The Beavers could make things so simple if they'd just win come December 3.

Cliffy K. notes that this is the second year in a row that OSU has been in the running for the Rose Bowl. It'll be nice to have the bye week AND Quizz this time around.Here's to staying healthy and preparation! (Mr. Banker, you should be watching some tape right about now.)

Beavers are looking forward to the high stakes match up on December 3.

The "Not Cool" award for the week goes to Arizona fans. All joking aside, Arizona has just zero control over their crowd. The premature emptying of the stands is symptomatic of a team that simply hasn't been there before and doesn't know how to handle winning big games, but throwing big heavy things at people is something else entirely. I know Arizona is a tough place to live but come on guys, don't take it out on other states' schools.

OK. Let's face it. There are a million other stories about the upcoming game out there and I can't track them all. Put your recommendations below and GO BEAVERS.

QUIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

if he has a Heisman-like performance (something it will probably take for OSU to win) and Oregon State wins, he just might be able to say: “Helloooooo New York” or maybe even “Hellooooooooooooo Heisman”

although hearing

“Markus Wheaton’s gonna score!” would be so hilarious and would deserve to be played at every subsequent OSU home game and at Mike Parker’s retirement party.

Mike Parker’s retirement party.

I think they’ll need to drag him away. He won’t be retiring willingly. The man is a machine and does so many sports so well.

agree

I think he is at his best at baseball though

Peat's reaction to Moevao's Tweet

“It sounds good, and people want to hear it, but it’s a game,‘’ said Peat. "Obviously, the intensity’s going to be up and both teams are going to play as hard as they can, but it’s just football, you know?’’

Well said! Now only if I can personally remember that for the next month or so…

If I tried to come up with a complicated rooting interest scenario

that ended up where you guys didn’t want to win the Civil War… would anyone buy it? :-D

3 more days of love. The Beavers still kick ass, and I for one hope that we play the next 10 Civil Wars with the Rose Bowl on the line each and every time.

The Oregon Ducks: Sporting the single best fifth-string running back that college football has ever seen.
