This will be a hard fought game in the trenches and I expect both teams will struggle to move the ball in the rain. One or two key turnovers will determine the winner (Bears). 50k rabid bears fans in the rain beats 70k sissy fair weather types on a sunny day. With ample Jim Beam in my system, every little neon yellow ducky on the field will hear my voice ringing between the walls of their respective helmets. And when Follet delivers a game ending blow to Masoli, we will erupt in song… you know it, you tell the story, you tell the whole damn world this is BEAR TERRITORY!

GO BEARS! waddle back to Eugene little duckies.

Going to the game. Not real excited about the rain. It rained the four years I was in Eugene, that’s why I came back home. Should be a good one – all about the quarterbacks and turnovers.

BTW, the Ducks are practicing outdoors, and they are soaking the footballs to get ready for the condidtions. But I think the weather is a non-factor, really it’s just an excuse for the team that loses.

Hey Jan K Oski:

You sure got it right about the Ducks only practicing indoors when it rains. Must be why they have spent the past two days sticking footballs in a bucket of water while they practice. Silly me, I thought a degree from Berkely actually meant something.

Cal Football – 50 years since winning a game that meant anything.

I got all the gears ready and prepare for the rain, even if it is a storm. I want to see the bear claws tearing out the lame duck in person. Even this game will be on the TV. There is no comparision.

Go Bears!

And, regards to the NC guy, I think he didn’t got admitted to Cal, even if he want to. Or, he got kick out. He need to see a psychiatrist or a counseling therapist.

I kinda of enjoy it when it rains at Memorial stadium.

If we win, it won’t matter, if we lose, then being a little wet won’t make me less miserable.

PUCLA will easily cover the spread. Give the coaching edge to PUCLA.

Norm Chow (former USC OC) will carve up the D. Watch for many many short passes that go right into the middle.

Also he will run against you until you can show that you can stop it.Their D is better than yours and they will put a lot of heat on Longshore once they stop your run game. Longshore will be ineffective, he will throw a couple of picks late in the game and the boos will come raining down in Sourberry Canyon.

PUCLA in a close one.

Jan K Oski-

Oregon has three practice facilities: Indoors, grass outdoors and turf outdoors. Oregon has practiced outdoors all week and the staff has been dunking the footballs in a water bucket during practice to prepare for a rain game. Oregon will be ready for that part of the game.

It should be a close game. Whichever team wins the TO battle will win the game.

Moron the Troll was completely wrong about the outcome of the UCLA game. Why would anyone take his/her opinions about the Oregon game at all seriously?

I think the ducks will pull this won off. I don’t think that we can match their speed on offense and their tenacity on defense. Our offensive line is in shambles and unfortunately its going to be a long day. Can’t wait for basketball season.
