Oregon Uniforms Getting Downright Silly
Presenting the only college football jersey that Dick Cheney might try to shoot. Oregon has played 11 games this season and has used 12 different uniform color combinations (I think they changed at halftime during the USC game). This is beginning to confuse even their most ardent supporters. This fe...
Oh, You Are So Totally Grounded
In case you haven't seen this yet, the young Oregon fan giving the double-bird salute from the stands here toward UCLA's Kevin Love got into big trouble when he returned home.

This ultimately didn't turn out well for Leinart; all that extra time just gave him more impregnation opportunities. ...
Two Undefeated Teams Demoted To Sorta-Defeated
• Oregon 35, Arizona State 23 — ASU decided to go with the "dig selves a 21-3 hole, and see if we can get out of it" defense, but it backfired against them.

Florida Overcomes Some Ugliness
Florida spent the first ten minutes of the game handling the ball like the handsome gentleman who spent so much time attempting to fix the net. They looked extremely uncomfortable to start the game, turning the ball over and being totally out of sync....
Gators vs. Ducks, Coming At You
