... Addicted to Quack thinks there is still reason for optimism.  Brady Leaf should be told he can not play quarterback. And then shot. Seriously. This isn't about me or how much money I had on the Ducks to cover last night. ...

... Civil War at home against Oregon State). They are now tied for USC (who they beat) for 2nd in the PAC-10, 1/2 game behind Arizona State (who they also beat). State has 2 games left as well… next Thursday against USC and then the following week against Arizona (both at home). So Oregon still has a shot… not at the National Championship, no… but they are still very much alive for the Rose Bowl (of course, it could become a bigger problem if Dixon is out for one or both of the games). Addicted To Quack knows it as well, and tries to be optimistic even with the loss and the ...

... Damn you football gods. The nearly Satanic malice of the football gods framing up Dennis Dixon’s spotlight game, hyping it up, and then delivering a capricious blow of cruel, non-contact injury has us shaking an angry fist at the heavens. Addicted To Quack says that Oregon lost to “a crap team” in Arizona, and the number certainly suggest that. Oregon’s season wasn’t ultimately derailed by that crap team, though: frail, faulty human flesh did that in the form of injuries to Dixon and Jonathan Stewart last night with positively Satanic ...

... the way and get on with our weekend. An abysmal 2-4 ledger in last week's national picks dropped me to 45-35 in predictions of games not involving Southeastern Conference competition, but, of course, that was before I forecast Arizona's upset win over Oregon, which . . . um . . . I knew all along, but . . . er . . . just didn't get posted in time, that's all, really, I swear. (Hey, at least I thought the Wildcats might be good at one point, but, really, Dave is right: 'Zona is not a good team.) As someone ...

Goodbye, national championship. Addicted To Quack had a simple in-game question: Why the f*** is Leaf still in the game?The aftermath: Arizona is a crap team. And I have no problem saying that. We lost to ...
