  1. Good post, and I agree in the sense that I think they need to trade Battier. The Rocket's aren't competing this year, or until they get Yao. They might manage a playoff birth, but this team can't any go deeper than Artest's _____, which isn't that deep. Trade him for a young center, and they'll be set for a decent future.
  2. He was traded for, Ty for Meka straight up.
  3. lol Tyson Chandler isn't going to be on national TV this year, unless CHA makes the playoffs.
  4. I looked up a few stats just to boggle your mind haha. btw, here's a link to show you how a 40-0 halftime lead is accumulated in conference play. http://espndb.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=272862483 331 rushing yards http://espndb.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=272510130 Anyway, here's something. Week 1, destroyed Houston. Beat them at their own game, offense. 339 rushing yards, Dixon threw for 2 TD passes in only 15 attempts. Won 48-27. Week 2, beat Michigan, who was heavily favored (although they did just come off of their Appalachian State loss, which should have motivated them but apparently not). Dixon throws for 3 TDs and runs for another, Ducks win 39-7. Week 3, another 300 yard rushing performance. Dixon scores 3 total TDs, and Jonathan Stewart runs for over 150 yards and a couple scores. Big surprise, Ducks win 52-21. In our 4th game, we score 55 points and run Stanford off the map. We average somewhere in the region of 7 yards per play. PER PLAY. That means if we got to third down, something was weird. Dixon throws for 4 TDs, runs for another, and 2 receivers each pass the 100 yard mark, one scoring once, the other (Jaison Williams, All Pac-10) scores twice. 589 yards of offense does the body good, not to mention the 256 yards of returns. We're talking over 800 total yards. Ducks win 55-31. Week 5, lost to Cal in a heartbreaker. Cameron Colvin (now that I looked it up, that name will haunt me forever) fumbles into Cal's end zone from the 1 yard line, ruining any chance at a score (if he just held on for another yard, Ducks win). Cal was 4-0 before the game and ranked ahead of Oregon, led by DeSean Jackson (sound familiar?) who burned us for 160-some receiving yards. We outgained Cal by 100 yards, and still managed to lose 24-31. Week 6 now, time for revenge. 53-7 victory over WSU, we score 40 first half points and allow none. This was about the time when everyone in the country noticed our offense, but disrespected our defense. Keep in mind, almost every one of these games is done without our #1 receiver Brian Paysinger. Jerome Boyd and John Bacon each pick of passes, and give All Pac-10 DBs Patrick Chung (Patriots), Jairus Byrd (Bills), and Walter Thurmond III (projected first or second rounder this year) a break. In the 7th game, Washington went down after being tied going into the 4th quarter. We scored 24 points in the last 13 minutes to blow them away, 55-34. Jonathan Stewart, Andre Crenshaw, and of course Dennis Dixon all account for 2 TDs, and Remene Alston Jr. adds another. This sends a message to upcoming USC and ASU (both top 10 at this point) that you don't take the Quack Attack lightly. 8th game of the year, and the biggest up to this point. If the Ducks win, they move into the top 10, if they lose, it's just a Cinderella start. We scored first, and Dennis Dixon and Jonathan Stewart as a duo outscore Mark Sanchez's Trojans as a whole. Defense was key here, as Matt Harper picks off a pair of passes and gets over 60 return yards out of them. Ducks win the most important game to that point, 24-17 and shock California. Now comes the ASU game. Oh lawdy. ASU is 8-0 at this point, getting all hyped and everyone's hanging from their nuts. We win 35-23 and shut them up, but Dixon seems to tweak his knee a little and leaves the game early. No biggy, right? Dixon scores 4 TDs, and for the first time all year (and the last time in a game he plays in) he doesn't have a rushing TD. An amazing stat for a QB that's got 20 TDs and 3 INTs to that point. Walter Thurmond picks off a pass, and UO carries on to a 35-23 win. Now we're ranked #2, and getting the respect. Week 10. FML. Dixon tears his ACL (he has bird legs though, can't say I didn't see some sort of knee injury coming, he must have like a 4" diameter on his ankles), we lose to Willie Tuitama and Antione Cason's Zona team, Cason takes a pick back and Tui throws for almost 300 yards. We outgain Arizona by 150 yards, and outscore them by 10 points in the second half but the offense comes too little, too late. We lose 34-24 to a 5-5 team and all is lost. Now that the voters know Dixon is done (and we're led by Brady Leaf, Ryan Leaf's inferior brother (which is impossible) or a freshman with a pencil thin neck), we drop fast. UCLA beats us 16-0. We have 148 total yards. Jonathan Stewart is getting 6 pairs of eyes on him every play. Our QBs have no experience (they've been behind Kellen Clemens and Dennis Dixon their whole careers), and they panic. Now we are almost out of the top 25 at this point. In the Civil War, OSU beats us 38-31 in OT. Justin Roper shows, if nothing else, he should start the bowl game. Oregon is now playing second fiddle in their own state, just 2 weeks after being second rated in the country. In the Sun Bowl, UO shows its fury and goes for 353 rushing yards, 533 total. Roper throws for 4 TDs and no picks, in his first game as a starter. Jonathan Stewart has the game of his career as he leaves Eugene for the NFL, with 253 rushing yards on 23 carries, an 11 YPC average. He runs for a TD and also catches a TD pass. His 253 rushing yards (and his average for anyone with more than 15 carries or something, can't remember the specifics) are modern bowl game records. The "No Defense" secondary accounts for 4 picks, 2 courtesy of Jairus Byrd, another from Walter Thurmond (which is taken back for a TD), and another from Mike DiVincenzo who also scores on the play. Ducks have the most frustrating 56-21 win in college football history.
  5. Jacory = Closest thing to Dennis Dixon in college football right now, IMO. btw, watch out for Duke to upset a few teams this year. They will probably only with 6 games tops, but Thaddeus Lewis is one of the most exciting QBs in the country and might pull a 2,000 and 500 season. He only had 100 and some yards last year on the ground (although in college sacks count against your rushing yards, so that doesn't help anyone's total), but I think with less weapons around him and more focus on him, he'll be close to doing that. They might beat a Georgia Tech or North Carolina this year, it wouldn't surprise me. As much of a homer as I am (I still root for Joey Harrington haha), I honestly feel that in 07 if Dennis didn't tear his ACL against ASU, we would have won the National Championship. We lost to Cal in week 2 I believe, and if one of our no-name WRs didn't fumble the ball into the end zone, we would have won. It was like 6" away from being the Ducks' greatest comeback of the year, but no. Then we disrailed after Dixon went down, won the bowl game against USF I think (I swear, we play USF every year in the Sun Bowl. Bank on it again lol). Definitely were better than Nebraska, even with Justin Roper at the helm. Man, best team in UO history. That offense, with a functioning Dixon, would have gone down as the greatest offense of the new millenium at least (yeah, better than the Palmer-Leinart-Bush days), and one of the top 10 of all time. We were scoring somewhere around 55 points a game, 600 yards a game, and 300 of them on the ground, all led the nation if I recall. *sigh* Dixon and Stewart will be missed. That said, LeGarrette Blount for Heisman.

  7. It's decent, the text can be a lot better and it's just a little too bland I think. Nice job with the effort, but idk I'd change it up a little.
  8. I think that the sig needs some dark areas, it's all so light that nothing stands out.
  9. Nice find, that Okafor jersey looks real nice.

  11. Granger. He's a better passer, defender, low post scorer, and shoots just about as well as Kevin, which is his main strength. Durant will improve and go beyond Granger eventually I think, but for now Granger please.
  12. That's 13-3 bro. I'm too lazy to do the schedule thing, but I'll predict a few teams. Vikings - 10-6 Lions - 4-12 Seahawks - 9-7
  13. I'm not a major fan of CMMM but I do like Floating in the Sky a lot. It sounds way more unique. I would've still had Cudi ahead, but yeah some of his new stuff is nice.
  14. I might, depending on how golf turns out. It sucks that they're in the same season. Nets, that's why. I am probably better at golf, and I feel like since golf has less competition than track, I have a better shot at playing collegiately. But yeah, if I spent some time and worked out consistently I might end up getting hooked, but idk. Golf is much more enjoyable for me, and like I said I might get an added bonus for college competition. Still, I might end up doing neither in college once I see how tough it is.
  15. Go to 0:50. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjKsyQGFMPo Wow, I've never seen it before, must have missed the Top 10 that night lol. He must have close to a 50" verticle, he basically would have hit his head on the rim if he didn't duck. Wow. I knew he had hops, I watched him beat LeBron in a dunk contest at the McDonald's All American game (and get screwed over by the judges) and then he dropped 24 second half points in the actual game to come from behind and win (I guess CP3 told him to just let it out and shoot whenever at halftime). Anyway, that's just insane. He was one of my favorite garbage guys, but now that I've seen this he moved up a few spots.
  16. WTF is up with your avatar lol Yeah, Cudi is superior IMO, I like his style more than Drake's, but I'll listen to Drizzy spit it too. To whoever said something about Kanye and Cudi, Kanye produces most of Kid's music, so that's why they sound so similar in part.
  17. Give me the man on the moon.
  18. Depends on what you got back, but without much I don't think you'd win more than 30-32 games, probably less.
  19. It's there, look between the Heat and Wolves.

  21. Eh, I've gotten my F-150 up to 110 lol.
  22. Hey everyone making rosters for the sim league, I hope you see this.
