RTL - I saw your thread is now locked. I was just reading about the exciting overtime Apple Cup game this weekend. The governor was on hand to present the trophy even though this years apples were the most rotten ever - 2 teams with 10 losses each. Sorry about your Husky's this year. Their last chance will be at the Cal Bears and I am rooting for your dogs.
Mike's Crimson Tide have a nail biter coming up against them thar #2 Alligators. Seems like a national championship instead of an SEC championship game.
As for the Oregon civil war - Beavers or Ducks? If the Beavers win, they will play in the Rose Bowl to get revenge against Penn State. The Beavers have the tie breaker over USC because they have the same conference record and they beat the Trojans earlier. It sure would be nice to have our Beavers smelling like roses again - they have not been there since 1965. Go Beavers!
