BCS National Championship official thread

Go Ducks! Can't wait to see the Ducks take on TCU in the next round. My only fear is that TCU has an extra week of rest and that is huge when you get this far into the playoffs.

/what do you mean there's no playoffs? this is a major sport. they really crown their champion this way?

Whatever, dude. TCU made the first step to getting a national championship by getting out of an irrelevant conference. Argument = tired.

Ducks will win because they have the better coach and the better defense, imo.

Go Ducks!

(That surprise you Orygun? )

Also can't fault them for playing within the system.

Just that - it never rains at Autzen Stadium. What don't you get?

Just kidding. That is just a phase that Essig says at every game, right before kickoff. It is likened to the power of positive thinking, I guess. It has become institutionalized. He almost sings it, with a certain tone and conviction. The crowd often accompanies Essig in the quote, even when it is raining at the time.

For what it is worth, Eugene has some of the best football weather early in the year that I have ever been a part of. Gets a little, er, damp in November, though...
