Civil War-Beavs or ducks

sandman · 11-16-2005, 06:26 AM

I really hope the beavs put the smack down on the ducks,but have a feeling i might be suprised

GreatWhiteHunter · 11-16-2005, 06:31 AM

I voted Beavers, but alas, it is just a heart bet. With losses to (albeit improved, but still terrible) Arizona and Stanford teams, Beaver Nation is likely to end up with their big flat tails between their collective stubby little legs.

Oh well, can't blame a rodent for hoping

fishnwHim · 11-16-2005, 06:43 AM

I think it will be a great game, great weather, and a friend of mine gave me his tickets on the fifty yard line, yahoo !! With the momentem and excitement that the Ducks have right now, I think it will be a U of O victory. Go Ducks !!

wade · 11-16-2005, 06:51 AM

It didn't hit me about how favored the Ducks are until the interview I saw with Gunderson. He's scared. Truly though, nothing matters except what happens on the field.

Shortbus Flashers · 11-16-2005, 06:54 AM

I can smell an upset!!
GO BEAVERS!!!

Pescadote · 11-16-2005, 06:56 AM

Yeah, I voted for the Beavers, but only because I am a life-long fan. The Beavs better start playing better (and smarter) if they want to even have a chance to win this one. Still, I gotta say GO BEAVS!!!

3riversBob · 11-16-2005, 06:56 AM

I voted Ducks for two reasons:

1.....MY TEAM...Go Ducks!

2.....Odds are greatly in their favor.

But with that said, this is the Cival War and emotion and heart go a long way. It really is anybodys game.

jokester · 11-16-2005, 06:59 AM

The ducks definitely carry the confidence and momentum going into this game. Better watch out boys...beaver season opens Saturday in Eugene

bcanini · 11-16-2005, 07:00 AM

WE all know anything can happen in this game GO DUCKS & GO BUCKEYES!!
I'd sure like to see the Ducks and the Buckeyes play this year.

FastActionRodTip · 11-16-2005, 07:01 AM

it's payback time folks, what they waited all year for...Beavs will get 'Ngata' yard.....quack!

Stz ll · 11-16-2005, 07:07 AM

This is going to be a slaughter of the Beavers. The Ducks should win this game quite easily!!

The best part is sending the Beavers bowling (that is at the local bowling alley).

Beaver fans better start getting used to he fact that this team is probably the best they will see for a few years. I think the beavers are headed back to where they were a few years ago!!

GO DUCKS!!!!

Jennie@ifish · 11-16-2005, 07:13 AM

OK. When is it?
I'm going to plan my day around it.
(As in, get out of the house and do something fun like FISH!)

:smile:

StinkyFish · 11-16-2005, 07:18 AM

Go Beav's I think the best we could hope for is an over confident duck team and gunderson needs to step up, get rid of the betterflies and take control. If this happens we still probably lose but make it close and were will matt more play next year? Oh Well.. isn't Dennis Erickson looking for a job. just a thought..

wthr4d · 11-16-2005, 07:27 AM

I Voted Ducks even though I am a beaver through ansd through!! you see statistically speaking it has been ETREEMELY!! rare for the away team of the Oregon state civil war game to win. I voted as if I were making the bet, hoping to lose nad knwing Id win.

need one · 11-16-2005, 08:01 AM

Now THAT is a good friend: tickets of the 50-yard line to just about any Division I football game, but our very own Civil War, to boot!!! (and to Alexis Serna, "to boot" must mean something entirely different).

Stz ll · 11-16-2005, 08:03 AM

I hope Dennis Erickson does come back as Beavers coach. With his track record of recruiting the type of people he attracts that should put OSU in the position of losing scholarships because of academic performance!!!!

GO DUCKS!!!

rip-lightnin · 11-16-2005, 08:06 AM

How come nobody is posting a point spread? I`ll do it.
okay... here goes.....Ducks by 10 at half, and winning handily goin away by 24.

Erickson would recruit from Guantonamo Bay or Abu Grhaib if someone could run a 4.3 40

elkstopper · 11-16-2005, 08:35 AM

mandinga · 11-16-2005, 08:54 AM

beavers are....well.....not very good.

but, i dont know how much better Oregon is.

Oregon's Defense is tops in the pac 10 and the beav's are last...that will make the difference in this game.

MacFish · 11-16-2005, 09:12 AM

The Ducks win big this year because:

One receiver and a couple of linebackers can't match up to a well balanced Oregon team.

Haloti Ngata

Coaching

Possibility of BCS game may hinge on outcome

Revenge for last year

Autzen and the fans

Cornerbacks, Ours are finally better than somebody elses.

We have a better mascot

If there's ever a game where you throw away the spread, it's the Civil War, but even though the Beavers have shown a lot of heart all year, it just aint gonna happen this time

Catching Nemo · 11-16-2005, 09:45 AM

Never guess how I answered :grin:.

Artwo · 11-16-2005, 12:03 PM

First off I want to say that I am huge tried-and-true Beaver fan. Even though we aren't having the most banner season this year I felt we had a fighting chance when Clemens went down for Oregon. But now after Moore going down as well last weekend I'm not so sure. We have no offensive line to protect Gunderson and I'm affraid he'll fold under the pressure, even though he did pretty well in the game last weekend. And we have had virtually no defensive secondary this season and that also worries me agaist Oregon's recievers. So we will see, it is the Civil War, and stranger things have happened. It pains me greatly, but I think it will end up Ducks by 13 (but I voted with my heart).

I to am going to the game but I'll be with a bunch of Duck fans. I couldn't turn down a chance to go and my friend has duck season tickets and invited me, so look for that orange dot amongst the sea of green/yellow, that will be me. Hopefully they won't put me on tv getting pummeled by the people around me

GO BEAVS, play your hearts out......................

JustCallMeDave · 11-16-2005, 12:09 PM

In the event of a tie does the platypus win?

Mr. Carp · 11-16-2005, 12:09 PM

All the beavers have to do is run slant routes to the inside about 12 to 15 yards deep and they will have no problem moving the ball against Oregon. The cougs did that just fine against the Ducks. It was when they tried to do short gains in the box where we had trouble.

The Ducks just need to play with confidence and they should be fine.

I could really care less who wins the game, just as long as it is a good game.

GO WAZZU!!!

How do you figure this will be the best Beav team we see in many years to come? We have a really young line, 2nd leading rb in the conference,returning qb with a redshirt waiting in the wings to take the program over. Young defensive backfield, young defensive ends, and good linebackers waitng 2 take over! Still trying to figure how this is gonna make us go backwards?!

Artwo · 11-16-2005, 01:31 PM

Just the quackings of a verwwwwwwwy scarwwwwwwed little duckling (Elmer Fud voice)

Our future football outlook is actually brighter then it has been in a lot of years.............we will see, we will see

.

GO BEAVS...............

SlamminKokes · 11-16-2005, 02:02 PM

I agree Artwo. I cant wait to see where we are at 2 years from now! They say Canfield could have easily battled for the starting qb postion this year as a 17 year old. Sounds to be pretty darn promising to me!

parker · 11-16-2005, 02:20 PM

Who cares.

Go Dawgs!

(Yeah, I know. That was lame. But hey, that's the best any Dawg can do this year!)

We suck.

MacFish · 11-16-2005, 02:32 PM

Hmmmm, the Ducks are loosing Haloti Ngata, Demetrius Williams, Tim Day, Kellen Clemens, Devan Long, Terence Whitehead and Anthony Trucks. We're deep at most of those positions and our O line is mostly freshmen and sophomores, so I think that the Civil War's home field advantage may only last until next year.

walkersteelhead · 11-16-2005, 03:00 PM

Macfish Haloti is only a jr. So the beavers will be seeing him next year.

Dullhook · 11-16-2005, 03:05 PM

It will be a war like usual, but the Ducks have made the big plays all season long when they really needed them!

Besides, when was the last time the Beavers won at Autzen? :smile:

:smile:

Boy, don't I wish!! Unfortunately, he said before the season started that he was going pro next year, although a couple of days ago he said that wasn't in stone. I'd love to see him back, but he'd be crazy

walkersteelhead · 11-16-2005, 04:34 PM

He said on the espn interview it will depends on if he graduates this spring or not. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Jenny,

The game is on Fox Sports Net, kick-off set for 3:45 PM. :grin:

I will be there in Autzen, with my son, in his first Civil War game, cheering loud and proud for the Ducks!!!

I'll be another Black/Orange speck in a sea of green/yellow (Bro' has season tickets

)

A few more wins would have been nice this year, but considering how many freshmen and sophs we have starting it's been a good year. Bowls in the last three years is a far cry from the Beav's of the late 80's when I was there. Look for the Beav's to be the dominant program in the state in the next few years

Why do some duck fans find it necessary to dis our program :whazzup: Must be an insecurity issue

A 24+ point win by the Ducks?? Either give me some of that action ($$'s) or turn me on to what you've been smokin'

My prediction: Moore starts and doesn't throw any picks; the Beav's have less than 50 yards of penalties; Serna redeems himself with a final minute field goal to win the game

Penobscot · 11-16-2005, 07:02 PM

<-----------------Oh yeah!

Stu,
We're playing frosh and sophs too, only ....ours are better!

Kokes, you are correct, the Beavers have a very young team. The Ducks on the other hand, will graduate most of their starters.
Here's to a good game.

Then there is the Apple Cup.

I think I'm rooting for the Cougs, if they win, both WSU and UW will be in last place in the Pac10. With all the trash talk we have had to endure over the years from up North, this would truly be poetic justice. Enjoy your crow sandwich

salmon hugger

CATCH AND EAT · 11-17-2005, 11:28 AM

Apple Cup!!

If that is on time would be better spent with Jennie.

Duck WIN!!!!!!!!! 38 to 13.

It would be nice to see the beavers make a good show of it but lets be reasonable people.

MacFish · 11-17-2005, 02:37 PM

"the Ducks on the other hand will graduate most of their starters"

The Ducks have 14 seniors on a 94 man roster and only 8 of them are starters.....be afraid, be very afraid....

The last time the Cougs had a bad season was I believe in 2000 where we won 4 games. Then, the following 3 years were dreaded by the rest of the Pac-10 with our domination.

All I am saying is that we have to be down before we can be back up. God have mercy on the rest of the Division when we are up!!!!!

WAZZU ROLLS!!!!!!

Well Said!!!

Freespool,
You are very uninformed if you think the Ducks will be graduating most of their starters. The Ducks have recruited very well, and will have a young and very, very talented and strong team for the next many years to come. They also have many great commits as this years recruiting class begins to take shape. The Ducks are here to stay near the top, and fighting for the Pac-10 title.

I will dance a jig when the Ducks "Roll" through your Beavers. I predict the score will be 84-3. Nah, Serna might kick two field goals. 84-6 Ducks

Ryan,

Thanks for the prediction. Not sure if will be that one-sided or not, but I hope so. I say the score will be more like: Ducks 31....Beavs 17..!!!!

I think the Apple Cup belongs to the Cougs;
Cougs 38....Dawgs 14..!!! GO COUGS!!!!

I believe that the Beavers had quite a few academic Athletes honored this year and the Ducks just 1

beavers 2 first team and 2 second team
duck 1 2nd team

Most college coaches would bring in anyone no matter what if they got big game in them. I have seen it in NAIA also.

newportfisher · 11-18-2005, 07:29 PM

Just a quick question for Beav. fans. What are the Ducks ranked? Nothing like 10th are they? And the Beavs are ranked?.....Thats what I thought. Gunna be alot of bowling in the Beavers future, but using the wrong kind of ball.

GO DUCKS.....Oh and my prediction.....Gunderson out in the first half Ducks by 28.

Drachir · 11-18-2005, 09:41 PM

See you guys at the game tomorrow. Come into the Mashofsky Center prior to kick-off, ask for Rick. We always have the 2 or 3 tables in front of the band. :grin:

We were at a Ducks Tailgate Fund Raiser tonight, at the Hilton. Got to hear Belotti speak, and he is so pumped up for his team and this special year, which would be exceptional with the win over the Beavs on Saturday. Dave Frohmeyer predicted a score of 41-3 Ducks Win!!!!

Mr. Carp · 11-19-2005, 01:39 AM

I don't know much about the Ducks AD, but it sure seemed like at the start of the season that if Belotti didn't make something happen, he might be on thin ice. Just my perspective. He might have saved himself a few seasons.

Go Pac-10 Football!!!!!
