PrintUCLA at Kansas State (ABC, 12:30pm) - Rick Neuheisel has a lot to prove, and he could have a tough time doing it as his team opens the season against a solid Kansas State team.
Kentucky at Louisville (ABC, 12:30pm) - If you're on the west coast you won't get to see this one in it's entirety, but it's an interesting matchup featuring a team the Beavers will play in two weeks.
New Mexico at Oregon (OSN, 12:30pm) - All eyes will be on Darren Thomas as leads the Oregon offense, but how hard could it possibly be against New Mexico?
Washington at Brigham Young (CBS College, 4pm) - If Washington wants to prove that they're the real deal this year, beating BYU would be a good way to start.
Washington State at Oklahoma State (FSN, 4pm) - This game will probably be all but over by the time OSU and TCU kickoff.
Oregon State vs. TCU (ESPN, 4:45pm) - The marquee matchup of the game pits our Beavers against the Horned Frogs. Will the game live up to the hype?
Coming Monday...
Boise State vs. Virginia Tech (ESPN, Monday 5pm) - It's like a bowl game in week one: you won't want to miss it.
Other games worth watching:
| Matchup | Time | Network |

OSU-TCU
The Beavers have everything to gain in this game. If they pull off the upset today and Boise State beats VTU, the Beavers need to be considered a favorite to play in a BCS bowl. I believe it is a long shot for the Beavers to win this game, but what a quality win if they do.
GameDay, baby!
Both Corso and Herbstreit picked the Beavers over TCU. Hope they’re right!

Powerhouses struggling against lesser opponents...
Miami Ohio looking good against a Tebow-less Florida team… Penn State getting beat in Beaver Stadium by Youngtown State.

I'm putting a post together....
featuring final thoughts from our authors. I forgot to start putting this together yesterday, so I’m scrambling a bit. Here’s the prompt:
Compose a paragraph (or so) with your final thoughts for today’s game.
This is open to all Beaver fans and can be almost anything: the reasons you’re concerned, the reasons you’re confident, etc.
Just post your paragraph in the comment thread here, and I’ll collect them from here. You can also e-mail them to me at the address below.
Thanks, Jake

So sort of
Prediction-like?
WTY's ERA+ = 147 : - ) -- Kevin Frandsen > Brandon Wood??????

Sure, if you want to take it that far
Doesn’t have to be a score, but you can include that if you’d like.

Planning on posting this at 11am
Get your thoughts in if you want to make the post… if not, we’ll move the OSU/TCU discussion to that comment thread. You’ll all still have a chance to share.

Been burned too many times
I am nervous about this game. TCU is very good and the game is in Texas. I fear TCU 27- OSU 14. Tell me I am wrong.
20 minutes into the game
U of O is up on New Mexico 35-0.
If the Ducks played the Lobos every week, we could give Kenjon Barner the Heisman right now. Already 4 TDs and over 150 yards.
Jeff Maehl has almost 100 yards receiving.
And now Barner adds a fifth TD, on a catch for 60 yards with 8:41 until halftime.

Cliff Harris with an interception for a TD
and its 49-0 Ducks!

Go Beavs!
Correction, punt return
in relief of Barner!
Andy Wooldridge, andy_wooldridge@yahoo.com
BuildingTheDam.Com
Go Beavs!
Costa on in relief of Thomas before halftime,
and Harris has a second punt return for a TD, and its 59-0 before halftime!

Off topic... but just saw that Leinart was cut by Cardinals
in favor of Derek Anderson:

He might get picked up
By someone else.
