Calculate This, BCS

Oregon 60, UCLA 13

Yes, I stole that headline from the Oregonian. I’m not even sure I got it exactly as printed. So, I admit to possibly plagiarizing a story from Portland’s daily newspaper.

Now before you all cry about ‘running up the score’, how many of you remember November 8, 1975, when UCLA beat the beloved Ducks 50-17. I do. And yes, that game was in Eugene. Or November 6, 1976 in Los Angeles, when the Bruins beat Oregon 46-0. Shed no tears for the Uclans. The power has shifted north.

And yes, I am basking in the glory of the Ducks winning their first game as the #1 ranked team in the nation. (Ranked #1 by everyone, except the BCS, which can go to hell for all I care! Remind me to rail on mercilessly about the stupidity of the whole BCS crap some day.) Anyhow, I am pretty sure I will spend another week bloated by the top ranking for my heroic Ducks!

And today is the 16th anniversary of ‘The Pick’, the play that changed Oregon football forever. Go Kenny!!!

Yes, I am content.
