Ang - PAC-10 Peanut Gallery

Let me start with this quote during ESPN's Halftime Report, "There's a little nuance in this particular Duck helmet - they have an 'O' on each side - it lets them keep running track of their first downs and their scoring. That was stunning in its ineptitude and in Boise State's dominance." - Rece Davis
Normally I'm not a fan of the Smurf Turf, but tonight that glaring blue background with camouflaged Boise State unis was too much for the Ducks. My hubby says any Duck loss out of conference isn't good for the PAC-10, but he's used to SEC football and on this side of the Missouri, in this state, in our school, we root against the Ducks - no matter what! Maybe it's after years of being heckled by arrogant fans, their seemingly endless alumni funds, or the fact they're trying to take baseball away from us too, but it's just the way the dynamics work in this state.
Back to the game, gotta love a QB named Moore, even if he's not a Beav. This kid is unbelievable with the poise of an NFL player - even after a few 1st half fumbles, he picked up the ball, dodged a tackle, and threw a completion - again unbelievable (so was one of his 4th qtr. fumbles that just fell out of his hand!) Even more unbelievable was the fact UofO only had 14 yards in the first half! I will hand it to Masoli, however, he can take a hit and give 'em too - almost Moevao style, but not quite as respectfully "blue collar-esque" as Moevao.
Now, the 2nd half's five turnovers brought some reality that this was the first game of the season for both teams - 3 for BSU and 2 for OR - and also made for a boring end of the game.  That was until Oregon's Blount drops one of the Boise players, then takes a swing at his own teammates, and then fans, coaches, and security. I'm thinking the Ducks should send him packing to Florida St./Miami - dude, it's a game, chill-out!
Now, I know some of you want me to go further roasting the Ducks, but let me say one word - KARMA - I don't want it - not with our untested O and D lines!
Let me end with this quote from one of the ESPN commentators with five mins. left in the game, "An offense that last year looked so prolific to end the season is looking very impotent right now." - Shizam!
