Week Eight NFL Power Rankings: The Saints Go Marching On
Posted on27. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Another week down and another crazy shake-up in the rankings. The Bears and 49ers faced reality checks, and I finally gave the Bengals the ounce of credibility they deserve. Due to midterms, I’m keeping the intro short and sweet this week.
On to the rankings.
32 (32) – Rams:
Poor, poor Steven Jackson. 143 rushing attempts on the [...]

Rivalry Renewed: Oregon Ducks Look for Sixth Straight over Huskies
Posted on22. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
I remember going to my first Oregon Duck football game last fall as a freshman. Because of weird scheduling circumstances, the Washington Huskies came to Autzen in just the second week of the season.
And being a fan of the Ducks for several years before I stepped on campus, I was well aware of the rivalry [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week Seven: Vikings Ride Brett Favre Mojo
Posted on20. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
This was one of the worst sports weekends of my life. The Oregon Ducks had the week off, the 49ers were on a bye, the A’s are long gone, and it’s still preseason for the Warriors and the Sharks (wait, we’re two weeks into the NHL regular season already? I had no idea).
Without the privilege [...]

Oregon Must Overcome Several Challenges at UCLA to Stay in The BCS Hunt
Posted on08. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
I’m worried. For the first time all season. Seriously.
I bought into the hype before Boise State. I was certain Oregon would get their revenge against Purdue. I knew Utah was overrated. I had a feeling the Ducks would step up against Cal. And Washington State is, well, Washington State.
But UCLA? What’s so special about the [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week 5: Brett Favre Edition
Posted on06. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
I wonder what’s sorer right now: Brett Favre’s almost 40-year-old right arm, from throwing all over the Packers defense, or his nuts, from getting sucked on by every commentator in the history of football, especially Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden, and Ron Jaworski last night. The love fest was sickening.
From how the Monday Night Football announcers [...]

Ducks Pummel Cougars: Force Their Way Back Into BCS Picture
Posted on04. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
It’s official: Oregon’s offense is back and flying higher than ever. Which means the Ducks are the team to beat in the Pac-10, and even more importantly, they have forced their way firmly back into the BCS picture.
Fresh off of a 39-point thrashing over then ranked-No. 6 Cal, Oregon completely obliterated Washington State 52-6 Saturday [...]

Live From The Chip Kelly Press Conference: "This Is Not a Football Decision"
Posted on02. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Oregon head coach Chip Kelly made it clear this morning that the decision to possibly reinstate Legarrette Blount has nothing to do what he can do on the football field. Instead, he is wholly concerned in the character of his senior tailback.
Kelly announced that if Blount adheres to strict behavioral and academic “ladders”, there is [...]

Oregon-Washington State: After Cal Win, Nothing Less Than a Blowout Will Do
Posted on01. Oct, 2009 by Keith Becker.
Is Washington State still a Division-1 team? Sometimes I forget.
When you’ve only won one road game since 2007, needed late-game heroics to squeak past a winless Washington squad for their only Pac-10 win in 2008, and a 30-27 home win against Southern Methodist a few weeks ago qualifies as a major upset, sometimes you’re left [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week 4
Posted on29. Sep, 2009 by Keith Becker.
My lovely girlfriend drove up with me this weekend to see me off back to school in Oregon and how did I repay her? By watching football, more football, football video games and then even more football. I actually feel kind of bad, considering she is not a football fan. Let’s just say, when I [...]
