PrintIn the Early Morning Junk... randomness prevails...
Here's a picture of a supposed junk drawer:
How many things wrong can you find with this picture?
Here's some ice breaking topics to loosen the mood:
If you could cook only one thing perfectly every time, what would it be?
Describe the best possible BE celebration party for a Blazers championship.
Why do you/other people take some things so seriously that they squeeze the possibility of fun out of it?
Which upcoming game Portland Trail Blazers schedule seems hardest to win, and how would you win that game if you were coaching?
Which BEdger would most like to bake a cake with (interpret freely)?
Would you smack a bat out of the air with your bare hands?

Eating gulasch soup since I'm a bit sick, and hope this team mixes together the ingredients to something tasty soon.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Two of my friends are nutritionist and gulasch is supposed to be super healthy
but uggh!! Gulasch soup? I feel for you :)
Why? Sounds tasty.
My wife makes a variety of wonderful soups: broccoli, hamburger stew, mexican tortilla, etc.
for all of us N.americans not in the know, what is gulasch?
I would give it all up for a billion dollars

I know what the stew is, but I got the idea that it was more of an ingredient than a recipe?

I like the zip disk in the junk drawer photo. I vividly remember having to deal with that, and even liking it initially.
You could be pretty sure to lose your data after a year or so, especially when using the subway (magnetic brakes). Great fun. I lost more than one project.

The junk drawer is a bit too fancy
first of all, it’s too tidy, and what’s more, it’s contents are of very good quality…
Yeah, and I got no folding money in my junk drawer
Who keeps actual mono (non coins) in a junk drawer?
I don’t keep coins in one either, I keep them in a cup and make them into folding money.
Takes all kinds I guess…
I have a cup for 1 cent coins, another for 2 cents and a third one for 5 cents.
It turns into tons and tons of folding money after a while!
I had a zip drive too. Nice waste of money that turned out to be.
Today’s cutting-edge technology is tomorrow’s junk drawer filler.
What is your prediction?
What state of the art tech from today will become tomorrow’s junk?

In terms of electronics, magnetic hard drives with movable parts are the next to go
Also a universal connector for peripherals sponsored by Intel and Apple to replace USB, Firewire, etc. is on the horizon.

That makes sense....flash memory
hmmm….devices? The latest thing…probably book readers. I don’t see how that idea is sustainable

I'm thinking about getting one, but while the EU version also has free 3G to load books, blogs and newspapers aren't supported yet so it's a bit less attractive
Great for too expensive and too big text books, and you can also load your own PDFs on it (handy for cases and such things). It will take a while for the screens to become even better (next gen with color), but for certain occasions those things are here to stay. Along with audio books.

I bet they don't stay

I think they're here to stay
but they’ll probably be merged into another device, it will all be like one huge blackberry of sorts… something like that.
I really do want a kindle (or similar) I have to carry HUGE books around, I store all the Supreme Court rulings in pdf format, and my netbook isn’t very practical for reading in public transport and such, whereas an e-book would be perfect.
I loved those things in 2002.
That zip disk is my favorite part of the JD photo.

When I was a kid I rescued a small bat that a neighbor
had swatted down with a broom. I made a little nest for it in a shed behind the house and put water and bugs near it. After a day or so it was gone so I fondly hoped I had healed it and it went on to live a full and happy bat life.

For one it’s not a drawer, it’s a picture frame with drawer contents.
2nd – it appears to keep going at the top, but since we know it’s not a drawer it can’t keep going.

Why do you/other people take some things so seriously that they squeeze the possibility of fun out of it?
Not to take this too seriously, but…I saw a comment from a Stiff the other night in response to someone’s attempt to be funny that made reference to being autistic. Now that might have been funny to the person who made the remark, but to the parent whose kid is autistic or has Asperbergers the joke might not come across so ha ha. So does this mean the reply comes from someone being overly sensitive or trying to take the fun out of it. Is his jock on too tight maybe or does her sports bra need more elasticity? No. Sometimes one of idea of what’s funny or acceptable isn’t universally accepted. It has nothing to do with dare I say a sour-puss attitude. Now that’s funny, HUH?
World's phoniest apology-- "I'm sorry."
notice that kid in just right of center
he really seems to be having a good time!
World's phoniest apology-- "I'm sorry."
I'm sorry you like it
Just kidding Bow, I’m sorry, I like it too.
When I say sorry, I usually mean it half the time, 50% of the time, all the time.
just part of the quest
I had just about heard it enough the past couple weeks from an assortment of people and it finally just got to me. Pretty much it’s used now to mean people want to get off the hook without truly taking responsibility and by saying I’m sorry cant we just move on already? People who are truly apologetic say “I was wrong.” Of course, that’s considerably more difficult for many in today’s win at all costs climatosphere.
World's phoniest apology-- "I'm sorry."
Thank you bow!!
This is exactly half of my point. Words can hurt. The other is that something’s are just a game and should’t be taken so seriously that you can’t have fun enjoying them.
Like Blazer games.

Hey, whatever that joke of an excuse for a site blog the OKC Thunder waste precious bandwidth on, they aren’t showing a ton of respect to the PTB in their pre-game thread. I would never have guessed but apparently the PTB are considered a major rival to them.
Now we have to win. I’m going to encourage Rip City to pay a visit.

Anyone have thoughts on where the Ducks will be ranked.
There’s only 6 possibilities. 10th thru 4th
Romance me with that Roy rainbow shot which took flight from way beyond the arc and sailed so high that before it came back down to earth sealing the victory, it kissed the rafters and said "You're mine baby."
Wherever it is
it should be at least one spot behind BSU. I liked the Herbstreit was showing love for the UO last night, but you can’t have UO before BSU in the polls based on the head-to-head. My guess is 7

9 times out a 10 I’d agree,
I think there is a small chance Ducks could leap Boise State, We’ve already had in recent years a #1 team with one loss ranked higher than undefeated teams. I just don’t see Boise State going undefeated if they play a tough schedule, I also don’t see them beating Oregon at Autzen, not gonna happen.

The mid-major dilemma right there
Schools like BSU/TCU from non-BCS conferences are lucky if they can even get a road game from one of the big boys. I agree with you that if UO and BSU met today, the result would be different. But until BSU loses a game, on the head-to-head matchup you can’t put UO over them. Yet another reason a top 8 playoff would make sense (heck, I’d say keep the locations/names of the BCS bowls for the quarters and semis, then do the title game) but unfortunately, that doesn’t look like it’s in the cards, so college football will stay with computers and the 12 year old nephew of some SID determining the endgame.

I wondered
Since the east coast biase hates the Ducks always, but they like USC, I figured if the Ducks beat USC it just makes the East coast biase peoples just say “well USC isn’t that good then” so the victory doesn’t matter as much.
the wierd thing is
the polls loved usc but the computers not so much, it was the other way around with oregon. so the computers might not be so big on this win because they weren’t high on usc to begin with

Joel didn't like it as well
“Same (stuff) as last year,” center Joel Przybilla said, his cheeks red from agitation.
“It’s not one guy, as a team we weren’t on the same page,” Przybilla said. “We have to get it together as a team.”
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
yeah, they are good at talking about it
Let’s hope we see it in practice. I really do not want to lose this game.
And I thought our defense was good the first two games
When Oden was out there.
I still ain’t watched the 2nd Rockettes game, I don’t feel good, but it must’ve been bad.
Our offense looked the best they've look all year.
but we have zero D from our guards.

I couldn’t decide which QBs to use this week, so I went the somewhat safer route. McNabb will likely be better than one, but I couldn’t be sure that the Giants really play so crappy today.

I went downtown for Halloween last night for a block party
My goodness there are some slutty women out there. 80% of the costumes worn by women was all cleavage. Playboy bunnies were my favorite. Buff guys also used it as an excuse to take off their shirts.
Even some of the little kids are dressing in slutty costumes
We were amazed at how many of the neighborhood trick-or-treaters managed to come to the door during commercials last night. We finally figured out that the doorbell wasn’t working and we could only hear them when the TV was muted. Duh.
We took our little one to the mall, and one of the stores had one of their 6'5 employees wearing a Jigsaw mask, offering to take pictures with peoples' kids.

I got an old reprint of a Sears and Roebuck catalogue from the late 1800s
The prices are awesome, as are the stuff they sell.
I have a couple of those too, somewhere. They're neato.
My house was a ripoff of a Sears house. According to city records, it costs $8,000 new.
I found a little one (like 4 or 5 inches wide) at a Goodwill once
When my great uncle died (he raised my pappy), I got his books, which were a bunch of old adventure books from his childhood which are neat and racistly fun, and one was a BIG Sears and Roebuck reprint from the 50s.
And lots of old National Geographics from its heyday, when it was the thinking man’s Playboy that I know and love.

Oh nuthin' major
I’m just old and twisted my ankle last week playing basketball. For whatever reason the pain went away and this morning is being silly again.
Exact same thing happened to me last spring
I twisted my ankle birding (which is a STUPID way to injure yourself) and after a couple of days it was fine. But every now and then over the next two months I’d get this ankle pain that would last for 3 hours, then go away. It was random, not morning stiffness.

not just the score but
the total yards,
aslo there is this quote from mike riley
our team never quit and they always kept trying. They (Oregon) were a hard team to stop.
lastly there is all the records
The 65 points scored by Oregon was the most allowed by OSU in its history.
The game established Civil War records for combined points (103), total yardage (1,157), OSU home attendance (46,319), and was played in the warmest kickoff conditions ever (62 degrees).
Oregon RB Johnson gained 219 yards on 17 carries, a Civil War record for rushing, and RB Blount added 112.
Oregon’s game total of 385 rushing yards tripled the OSU season average allowed.
Blount’s 16th season touchdown run set a new Oregon record, and with his three unassisted sacks DE Reed established an Oregon season record with 16.

Same record goes to how you did against each other in that matchup.
And then something else after that, if that (unlikelyly) ties too.
i couldn't change the settings so i think this is how all Yahoo H2H works
if you win 7-2, then your win/loss record is 7-2, not 1-0. So if it’s 4-4, then your record is 4-4…
I emailed Yahoo but no response so someone who has played before needs to confirm…or it will be confirmed tomrrow

it has it’s ups and downs…. I’ve only been doing it for 6 years, so things will change as I get more experience… pay is less than I expected (less than we were told in school) work load is either heavy or light, there is no in between. Projects are what they are… some are great, some are bad… they all have clients (which is the real challenge)… in the down economy (which is where it was when I got out of school as well) you are just thankful to have projects, so you’re not as picky, and they tend to be not as interesting(which is why Roybot says I’m always complaining) but when you get a good one, it’s all worth it… It’s definitely something to get into if you’re passionate about it, but not something to do if you’re just looking for a job
Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it
yeah, I was thinking of going to school for industrial design but it seems even tougher to get a job than in architecture.
I’ve spent a lot of time dealing with prints, drawing my own, and I’ve done a lot of design work, but mostly for my own projects. I’m always doing redraws of archtiects drawings, and I can’t help but think I could do it myself. I love design work, but I can totally relate to what you’re saying about the quality of your projects. I love when I get the really fun, original stuff to work on, and I’m lucky that I get the lion’s share of it at my shop. But the drudgery of the busy work on the lame projects is mind-numbing. Anyways, thanks for getting back to me, I’ve always felt awkward about asking an architect that I was working on a project with those questions.

I don't think Nate is doing a good job so far this year...
… but I get really annoyed when I hear “all this talent and…” and sometimes even “we have as much talent as anyone…”
I think our talent is very overrated. Nate has an allstar, a PF who shoots jumpers and is awful on D, a great rebounder who plays 20 mpg because of fouls and a bunch of role players. So, I think Blazer fans should keep criticizing Nate— I certainly will continue to get pissed about our “team defense” and Nate’s “development” of Oden, but I will also continue to get annoyed when people say things like “all this talent, and we get nothing out of it.”
this is not an opinion formed in the last 3 games
This is a response to Blazer fans who blame the slow start solely on Nate and act like he has unlimited talent at his disposal.
I don't think Nate is being solely blamed
I see the concern being the guys on the floor are not achieving the level of play they are capable of and with that fans wondering why not…. so where are us “blamers” supposed to look next?
World's phoniest apology-- "I'm sorry."
the C word?
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
I agree - it's not all on Nate
I think the thing that frustrates me about Nate in particular right now is he has a good system, but is unwilling to change his system to fit the personnel. The National Team guys all raved about Nate as a defensive coach. I don’t think they were blowing smoke, as Nate had them looking great on D. However, Nate’s schemes on defense have not taken with the personnel he has in Portland (particularly the pick and roll) and he has not shown a willingness, to this point to adjust. Issues of execution/effort fall on the players, but the game plan is the responsibility of the coach. Same line of criticism for the offense.
I hate Comcast.
Card carrying member of Team Bayless
I believe in Greg Oden
the national team had unreal individual defensive talent
and they still got easily scored on by Spain. I was not at all impressed with Nate’s team defense concepts during the Olympics.
I do think its 100% fair to say that Nate isn’t willing to tailor his system to his players much, though.
Spain was loaded
they were getting buckets no matter what. But I do agree that the US team being so loaded combined with the makeup of the international game (a lot of 6’5 – 6’10 multi-faceted guys) were an ideal setting for the schemes Nate was running. Unfortunately, the NBA is a different brand of basketball, and while I like the overall talent/depth the Blazers have, they are by no means the Redeem Team.
I hate Comcast.
Card carrying member of Team Bayless
I believe in Greg Oden
What I liked about the USA team defense
Was something we’ve only seem in small amounts on the Blazers… the swarming, pressing, defense-makes-offense defense. It was awesome.
With LMA, Batum, Martell, we got guys with high energy who are long and can do a pressing/high octane pressure full court defense every once in a while. We do it sometimes, but not the same…
Of course, you get LMA tired, you’re looking at Howard or Trout. So ya don’t wanna get LMA tired.
I loved the USA team’s defense-makes-offense swarm attack though.
yeah, agreed... it was something to behold at times
I give Nate some credit for that, certainly, but its rare to have NBA allstars highly motivated to play defense, so Nate had a lot to work with there with all those guys so intent on a gold medal. He doesn’t have nearly so much to work with in Portland, but he still ought to be able to get the guys to make Ariza and Brooks work a little bit. One would think.
That sort of defense is a luxury because of the USA team roster
I know Jscot has mentioned that sort of waves-style-attack on offense and defense, and I would like to see it more, but the backups are so inconsistent and we need big minutes for Roy, LMA, and as many as Oden can get right now.
I'm doing the ten game plan
If it don’t look better then, I’ll be a little worried.
If we don’t look good then, I may replace it with the 20 game plan. And then the 41 game plan.
We do got a lot of talent compared to most teams, but Oden needs to stay on the damn floor and LMA needs to get to the FT line.
10 game plan sounds good to me
If we are still playing zero D, LMA is still shooting fadeaways and Oden is still playing 20 mpg, I’ll be worried.
If by midseason we are still playing bad team D and we still aren’t doing any development of Oden, I’ll post that we need a new coach. I don’t know that any coach could get Oden to stop fouling or to play better O, or get LMA to play inside, but I am quite convinced there are coaches out there that could help our D.
Yeah, it depends
I believe Nate when he says players ain’t ’sposed to switch on screens, yet the players still do. Whose fault is it?
Should Nate bench LMA when he enables the PG to switch? Bench Blake/Miller for not fighting through it?
What enabled Oden to stay out of foul trouble, generally, during the pre-season? Is he just tight right now? Or the matchups? Or…?
I don’t know what is Nate and what is the players right now.
I think it was the replacement refs. The real refs call insane offensive fouls and weird ticky tack stuff on him. They hate him.
free bayless
I have agreed with all but 1 or 2 fouls on him
and there have been several they have let him get away with. I do not agree with your assessment. Oden must be smarter.
there were two nuts fouls last night. The offensive foul when he was just trying to set up?
free bayless
his elbow clearly made contact with Anderson's face (if that's the one you mean)
tough call, but not a phantom one or anything.
that isn’t called on 95% of the players in the league. He had one going for a loose ball where it was pretty much two players going after it.
The offensive fouls are frustrating because any floppy defender can get a foul easily.
free bayless
I didn't watch last night
This year it has been the same formula as last year, except he’s been consistently effective in his minutes this year (just not offensively).
Earned fouls, with some iffy fouls, but he doesn’t always need to do the earned fouls, and the iffy fouls are fouls that he might not need to be put in that situation, and it is he himself putting himself in that position.
Joel has been getting ticky tacky fouls as well— and LMA fouled out last night I see. Was it the same stuff? Ticky tacky?
Portland has the best player.
They have an unbelievable scorer and two intense defenders in Sefalosha and Westbrook. Everyone but Durant is a role player. If “bad LMA” shows up and Oden gets in early foul trouble, though, OKC has the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th best players on the court tonight in Durant, Westbrook, Green and Krstic (in no particular order). If LMA does things other than shoot jumpers at least a little, and Oden gives us 30 minutes, we should win comfortably.
Green, Kristic, and Westbrook are all better than Dre?
Rudy?

Green looks very good this year, we would be stoked if he was our PF backup. And Westbrook has developed exactly like a young player with playing time should. He’s starting to find out about the finer things in point guarding a team.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Green isn't their PF backup though
He’s their starter.
Green has had a few nice games this year though, that’s true.
Last year he was a guy who put up some numbers because there is no one else to, and couldn’t defend anyone at any position. I liked him coming into the league, but as a SF… which he is likely too slow to guard.
He has all-round ability though.
In two games, Green has looked like a good SF that plays at a position that he can’t defend. And he’s their starter, not their backup.
Joel is a better player than Krstic. For all we complain about jump shooters…
Westbrook is a nice player. But saying that Krstic and Green are better than Rudy and Andre at this point is going too far in the other direction on the homer scale.
free bayless
He could defend Villanueva who was kept to 3-12, and Maxiell had just 1 point
We’ll see how he does against LaMarcus, but I like him quite a lot. Surprisingly Durant rebounds better than him at the moment.
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
Maxiell's 1 point ties a career high
Villanueva is a 3 for 12 or a 10 for 12 type guy, super streaky. Was it his defense, or was Charlie V in bad jumper mode?
I didn’t watch, I can’t say. But those guys are that sort of player in the past.
Charlie V is more Green’s style though… PFs who play like SFs but too small/slow to guard either position.
I would take Krstic over Joel. Too early to tell, but Joel looks to have (predictably) regressed dramatically.
Rudy is maybe better than Green, but not by a ton— Rudy’s PER wasn’t much above average last year either. I will grant you that Rudy is probably better than Krstic.
Andre was better than those guys last year. Too early to tell this year. He’s 33 and in a new situation. Its possible he won’t be the same player he was before. Its also possible he’ll be just as good. We’ll see.
Krstic at his best wasn't anywhere close to how good Joel normally defends
I doubt he’s regressed, he’s still in his prime, he’s just bad a 3 game run of bad fouls.
But again, I didn’t see game 3. Was he that bad last night?
Krstic can score but he’s the definition of average soft big.
I agree with your assessment of Krstic
but Joel has looked really bad to me so far. I am probably overreacting but I don’t know. Joel is simply not as good as he played last year— particularly the first half of last year.
As long as Joel is healthy and in shape
I think he’ll continue his strong play of last year.
His truly bad year as a Blazer was filled with injuries, he was slow, lots of things were wrong… the first two games he was a foul magnet, but still looked physically capable of being Joel.
this is anti-homerism. Krstic is a soft jump-shooting big.
Rudy was better than Green, at least last year, and they are of somewhat similar ages.
Krstic really isn’t that good.
free bayless
I admit to overstating things.
However, I maintain that if LMA plays lazily and Oden is limited to 20 minutes by fouls and Nate, the talent gap shrinks to being very small and the game becomes a tossup. And those two things happen frequently.
It definitely becomes tougher if those two things happen again, for sure.
It’ll be up to Roy beating Durant, and our bench outplaying theirs— I like our odds for both, but benches are benches and can be inconsistent. And Durant can score on anyone.
We need to take advantage of their weak defense, and if we’re just shooting jumpers (and not hitting), we will make it tougher than it needs to be.
so if our players don’t play well and their players do play well… yes, they have a good chance to win.

I don’t see how you can be down on Oden. I’m encouraged. When he’s in the game, he is an insanely good rebounder who is playing terrific defense. He’s also been a credible option in the post when not encumbered by foul trouble. He has been great passing out of the double.
free bayless
He had a grip of TOs
But not off of passes… his passing was very good, especially for where he is in his development.
His rebounding has been super dominant, and Jake should be happy he’s getting a ton of blocked shots. Is he fouling on attempted blocks? I don’t remember many.
It’s all correctable fouls.
much of them have. He isn’t fouling much on help defense.
It’s frustrating because the fouls he does get are fouls that Dwight wouldn’t get.
free bayless
I agree with Cab
Seems like about half of his fouls are away from the ball, not even within camera view. I’ve never seen anyone else get as many of those called on him.
There’s a been a noticeable drop in his stupid, “guard going for a layup” fouls.
i realllllllllllllllly hate your sig :(

Give it time
It looked corrected during pre-season mostly. I still think his foul rate will go way down because of his conditioning.
Oden is one guy who deserves the time to see what he can do. LMA I am much more disappointed in, as I hope he doesn’t do this every year— start slow, then turn it on.
LMA looked great on offense last night. A bunch of his shots were against Chuck Hayes. He even had a saweet step through on Hayes to cut right to the rim.
free bayless
jumpers
in his range. He was impressive.
He was, as ever, a major contributor to our horrendous team D though. Roy was also.
that's certainly true
but there were times he was in position and did nothing, or committed a dumb foul to create an and-1 though.
I'm no micro expert
but it seems like everyone told me to wait for this year because Oden would be back and in shape. Now people are telling me he’s still not in shape.
I think the excuses have to be over for the guy. Its time to play 30 minutes a night.
I think he's in really good shape
But ANY 22 year old will get in better shape as they go, even if they had no injuries. His body is still developing.
I don’t make conditioning excuses this year, but his problem are fouls right now. Due to… whatever. Hopefully it changes soon.
We also didn’t realize that the Blazers didn’t let him work out his legs for an entire year.
free bayless
not significant. but if he’s already blocking three shots and getting ten rebounds in a little over 20 minutes a night I’m not sure he needs significantly better athleticism.
free bayless
He needs more confidence in his moves, not necessarily more vert
But yeah, I don’t expect him to become as light-footed as he was in college any time soon. The ideal case is probably Kenyon Martin, and he still isn’t as explosive as he once was (and I suspect he took PEDs)
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
I'll agree with that.
if he ever is able to play 30-35 minutes consistently, he’ll be a really good player. Especially if he can get his TO% down to 20%, which might happen at the same time, because of the offensive fouls.
his post moves have looked good going to the basket as well, he’s just messed up at the rim. He’ll have an over 60% TS mark, 12-15 rebounds, and three or four blocks extrapolating out his numbers to big minutes. That is awesome. That is Dwight Howard if he gets enough scoring opportunites. He’s already a better passer.
NO MORE FOULING.

how so? If he plays 36 minutes, he’d be at 15 reebs and five blocks. I trimmed those numbers down to 12-15 and 3-4 just cause I felt like it.
If he took care of fouling, he’d be averaging crazy numbers.
free bayless
its very optomistic that he'll play 36 min any time soon
plus, Dwight gives you 20+ points/36 minutes and its very tough to see Oden doing that anytime soon. He was at 15 last year and 7 so far this year.
Its not out of the question, but I don’t see him as being on the cusp of this, at all.
Yeah, but will he ever be as awesome as Kevin Durant?

Amar’e was better in his third season.
Oden just did squats for the first time. He will be more athletic in the coming years.
free bayless
I think he can still be better conditioned and get his legs stronger yet
2 years since micro, not even 1 year of being able to work out fully.
Too conversative prolly, but it is what it is.
My formula
Our #1 is much better than their #1, our #2 is much better than theirs, their #3 is playing better than ours though.
After that, we’re better up and down the roster.
Their bench, aside from Collison, is awful.
Hopefully Oden and LMA can capitalize on their weak inside play.
That I have to say "hopefully they can capitalize on their weak inside play"
Is a bad thing, of course.
We should be able to take for granted that a team with a PF/C as weak as the Thunder will get destroyed by us. Soon, we will, but right now… I hate that it’s a “maybe”.
they beat us last year no?

by Tyler Durrden on Nov 1, 2009 2:43 PM PST up reply actions
we destroyed them twice towards the end of last season, once even at their place
the loss to them was there- they dominated the first 3 quarters and then held off a comeback.
The other game was at Portland where they were on a back-2-back and we pulled away in the 4th to win fairly comfortably.
I am still amazed you can watch Oden and LMA and say with such confidence that soon we'll be able to take that for granted
I don’t see either one being close to “flipping the switch.”
I'm amazed you can be so confident. I hope you are right. I still think its possible.
After all the talk of his improved offense, it just isn’t there though. And the fouls still are.
Apropos of nothing, last night he had a play where the defender flopped and he was all alone for a jam. He threw it down with authority… and then fell to the ground with nobody around him. I pictured Henry Abbott cringing.
His balance has seemed a lot better this year
I’d have to see it, but yeah, that doesn’t sound nice.
he’s averaging ten rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game in limited minutes.
We went to him in the post four times in the second half. He was doubled teamed and a good thing happened every time.
free bayless
the blocks have been cool.
the rebounds have been cool.
we’ve been a better team when he’s been in the game.
He’s made some good reads out of double teams. His TOV% is 42% though which is a killer, and there’s only so much you can do in 20 minutes.
That's not fair
There was crap on the court and Oden slipped. Lots of guys were slipping on the court last night.
It looked really scary. I was afraid
he had hurt his knee again.

it's a common theme especially among societies that have in their recent future, grown more conservative.
It is always felt among these societies that the past was a simpler time, that worked better for everyone, and society has lost its way by being derailed by all of these new “liberal” thoughts. Things like substance abuse, sexuality, and the types of music we listen to are often listed as scapegoats by neo-conservatives. What they don’t realize is that many of these things existed in the underbelly of society during these times in the past and they were merely more hidden than in today’s society. After our eyes have been opened to these things the only way to revert back to these false ideals is with manipulation of information, isolationism, and in the worst cases brute force. It’s funny how the initial idea is always to make a better, safer society for everyone, and in the end inevitably it fails because human’s do not like being held back. Just look at what happened in Iran earlier this year.

Humans figure out how to crossbreed humans an the aliens, so they can send a human in under cover. Human sent in falls in love with alien, considers whether or not to help his own race.

At the Denver game, they did a video segment on the players' favorite Halloween candy
Snickers bars were mention the most, by far.
most popular costume last night was referees
whether it be regular refs, football refs, sexy refs… ironically i was the only “blind referee” though
there was this one dude who dressed up like Stafon Johnson, complete with a bandage on his neck.
i only saw one billy mays costume

Favre is good though considering how old he is

He's a great player
but I think his whole “good old Brett from Mississippi who loves playing ball” act is fake, and he seems like a brat. Just not m cup of tea I guess. Of course, I also still have an undying man crush for Rasheed Wallace, so I’m not being entirely rational here

But I also like him. Not his fault that Green Bay wanted to send him out to pasture when he still didn’t want to.

You kidding me???
Selfish? Yeah, Brandon is so selfish that he begged for additional and veteran help. Brandon’s so selfish that statistically he had a great year in terms of assists, especially coming from a very efficient shooting guard. He’s so selfish that he has become the unquestioned leader of this team among his teammates…they love him. He is so stinkin’ selfish that he has gained respect across the NBA from players, coaches and fans. Brandon is so selfish that he just came back ready to play a whole lot lighter. He’s so selfish that he had the nerve to ask for market value. You burger flippers, I propose you tell McDonalds that you’re now working 1/2 the time for free. He’s so selfish that he has sacrificed and worked and led a team that started out with 21 wins to win 54 last year. Selfish players don’t do that. Zach never did that, and he won’t. Since being traded from the Blazers he’s bounced all over, having no more success with other teams than he did while he was here. I want the last 10 minutes of my life back after reading this. I guess I’m just selfish.

u beat # 12, 14 and 20 with the only loss being to 7 and u get 8, i don’t see why cincy is so high. their best wins are osu and south florida. they should be below boise, tcu and oregon. im not too worried about iowa because it’s only a matter of time before they lose. the real worry is texas, they need to lose or else they slip into the title game playing nobody of significant quality

Cincy is ahead of those two because they are in a BCS conference
it’s biased, but that’s why

the big east is hardly a bcs conference
it’s going to be a long time before they game a bcs title contender, but i get ur point.

even though the Big East is weak
they do get an automatic bid which makes them technically a BCS Conference

ya i know
im just a little ticked at them being so highly ranked(i mean that team could sneak into the title game baring some madness for only beating pitt, osu and south florida) it’s like kansas a few years ago(luckily they lost, here’s hoping cincy does the same)

I'd liken that Kansas team to Iowa this year

2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
i say cincy cause really kansas played nobody all year but was blowing bad teams out of the water(like cincy). iowa just keeps winning by late game heroics and they did beat an overrated penn state team( but still a quality penn state team at penn state) which is a better win then kansas had all year, if i remember right.

the difference would be
where will Cinci play a tough team? IIRC Kansas finally had to play teams like Missouri (who was pretty good with daniel, even though OSU ended up beating them in the Sun Bowl that year :) ) and then whoever in the Big 12 Championship game

they only played one ranked team all year… and they lost
i forgot they did end up winning in their BCS Bowl though

2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
Shouldn't have lost to Boise I guess
But slowly things happen that they cannot help and the Blazers Fellowship of the Ring begins to break apart
ain't that the truth
kinda like OSU’s first game loss at Stanford last year, which was obviously far worse but could end up having the same effect (keeps the team out of a BCS/Nat’l Championship)

yeah, Oregon has a case to be a few spots higher, but the reality is that there are a bunch of undefeated teams.
Oregon’s eyes should be squarely on trying to get to the Rose Bowl.
only thing that is guaranteed is going 7-5

Brandon seems reluctant to throw it in to Oden sometimes
they need to do a day of post entry passing practice
"Your best?!?!! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and &^%@ the prom queen"
2008 Civil War: Oregon 65 - Oregon State 38
You know why he doesn't want to pass it to Oden? Because he has little no game and it's the fourth quarter. He doesn't deserve the touches yet.
You looking for a good time?
regardless of whether or not someone "deserves" the touches or not
if someone is in good post position to score they should get the ball.

more QUIZZ 4 HEISMAN!!!!! love
3. Jacquizz Rodgers should be a leading Heisman candidate: He’s rushed for 922 yards and 14 touchdowns. He’s caught 49 passes for 371 yards and a score. And now he’s passed for a touchdown. If Oregon State continues to win — it’s got a meaningful game at Cal on Saturday — Rodgers should get an invitation to New York.

it would be nice if
arizona and osu kept winning, then when oregon beats both of them they will have 2 more quality wins. and if both can somehow stay in the top 25 how can they deny a team with wins against 5 ranked teams.

I could have kept it a definite tie by pulling all players for the Lakers - Hawks game, but thought that was unfair - and also hoped to win one more category
So I just pulled Artest who is very inconsistent at the moment with his shooting.

I’ll win one where it’s about total fantasy points (second best point value in the league so far, which is nice) similar to the ESPN player rater. I’ll hopefully tie ours on ESPN. And loose the Y league, but where in the end it’s about total category wins for the whole year.
