re: Curious: how many people here expect an LSU beat-down of Oregon?

Also, I am not acting like it's not a question mark. It's not a big question mark though. Greatwood, the oline whisperer, has had a lot less to work with in the past. Our biggest questionmark is at WR. However, we've had a much worse situation there in '09 than this year.

Nico, Dennis Dixon looked much better than JJ under Crowton.

What did Dennis Dixon look like under Crowtons tutelage? And the year after Crowton left? I have no further questions, your honor.

I think he was actually agreeing with you NICO that Crowton sucks.

Although, I think we can all admit that JJ sucked extraordinarily last year. 4 tds, 14 ints and a 100 yards per game is pretty shitty.

Especially when you consider that your wide receiving corp couldn't have more accolades coming out of high school.

That's about as funny as your improper use of elementary words like "lose" and "loose", huh?

I could give a shite. I thought this was a football site, not a grammar police blog.

There are few things I detest more. But pretending to be grammar patrol on a chat board is as cheesy as it gets. And someone acting like resident librarian is pathetic. There is almost nothing more pathetic then such a guy, but even more is a retort shifting the topic to a spelling error.

bisonduck, are you in Oregon City right now this moment?

The way I look at the matchup:

Offense:

QB: Oregon
OL: LSU (by a lot)
RB: LSU (you guys have the one great one. . .LSU has a whole crew of slightly less great)
WR: LSU (by a nose)
TE: LSU
OC: Oregon (by a lot)

Defense:

DL: LSU (by a lot)
LB: LSU
DB: LSU (by a lot)
DC: LSU

Does this mean we will blow you out? No. It is all about execution.

The biggest X-Factor to me is time of the game.
-LSU plays lights out for the opening game of the season.
-OU is a mixed bag to open the season.

Ultimately, I think the recipe is a blowout. I think this is the wrong season for OU to play LSU. . .and LSU got lucky with the timing.

bisonduck,
I live pretty close to the County admin buildings SW of you.

I have long wanted to meet you in person and thank you for keeping up the Western Front.
I was thinking of going to Wichita Pub over near Clackamas Community College. Are you hungry? If you join, I will buy. They have decent food and great Micro beer there.

Interested?

I could not disagree more.

QB: Oregon (this is a given)
OL: LSU(last year UO)
RB: Oregon, we have 4-5 RB's that would be starter for you. Actually know us, and then talk.
WR:LSU(last year UO though by far)
TE: Oregon(we have some great ones and we will feature them this year even more then our WR's)
OC: Oregon, though our OC aint shite, its our HC that runs our O, so Chip Kelly all the way.

DL: LSU (this is a given)
LB: Oregon (this year you have newbs, last year it would be LSU)
DB: Oregon, though LSU's are also very great. UO just happens to have the best DB's in CFB, LSU would be #3rd in nation after Bama.
DC: LSU (this is a given)

Keep in mind, LSU was ranked 11th last year for giving up points on D. Oregon was 12th. So if you think LSU had an incredible D, UO is only one inch behind you. Also, we at UO really believe our D will be much better then last year. I do too. I think you will see UO has the overall better D in Dallas and that is not even including Offenses which, lets face it, #1 in America, and LSU was like 60th or something bad. UO's O might be down 2-3 notches for this game, which might give you a chance of hanging with us. But our D is way overlooked. But you will find out soon enough.
