Which one owns slaves again?

Phil Knight prefers that you call them "under-aged laborers," I think.

It's more like the Spanish Civil War

Commies versus Fascists. I wish they could both lose.

Thanks to Oregon State, about half of the people that find BSD used the search "hairy beavers" or some variation thereof

They've actually been semi-competent

OrSt got stopped and forced to settle for FGs three times, and OrSt has forced four fumbles (recovered two).

Defense doesn't get you "style" points

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

Someone should tell those teams

that actually tackling can prevent the other team from scoring real points. That was some of the most atrocious tackling I’ve seen in a long, long time.

I definitely like OSU’s chances in the Rose Bowl, even with the arm punter at QB.

Absolutely agree.

Especially late in the game. There were two plays that just stunned me. The first was when Masoli planted the Oregon State cornerback to pick up the first down on a late fourth-and-two. Spivey or Prater would make that tackle every time.

Later in the series on third and long, two defensive linemen stopped James in the backfield. James broke both tackles and damn near picked up the first down himself. When your defensive linemen can’t wrap up a 180 lb running back when they get him three yards deep, that’s bad. I just shook my head.
