Bulletin Board Material and Other Football Myths

Kash was on the money. Oregon State IS the little brother in the Civil War rivalry. The Ducks are 11-0. OSU is 5-5. Oregon is the top-ranked team in three polls. They're two-time PAC-10 champions. They're leaders of the all-time series in both stadiums. They're winners of the last two, knocking the Beavers out of the Rose Bowl two seasons running.

Oregon wins, they're going to the national championship game. Oregon State wins, they're going to the Las Vegas Bowl. It's not even a comparison.

A minor storm will be created out of the comment, and if the Beavers succeed in playing competitively or pulling off the upset, two or three of them will cite Cliff Harris' comment as something they used as motivation during the week.

If you need an offhand crack by a talkative cornerback to motivate yourself for a game with your rival with a bowl on the line, you're not giving 110%.

    Here here. I loved the comment by Cliff. Yeah, he's brash but he's got a great attitude.

    Not to out and out disrespect our little sheep loving brothers to the north, but they are just too slow and too lacking in depth to beat this Duck team. It'll probably be close for a while as OSU will play off raw emotion, but that emotion wears off fast. And when it does, UO will just blow by them.
