Anyone want to start the "Oregon is overrated" posts.
Why not? I think the high school I went to could kick their asses, based on what I saw last night.
Also, its a good thing Boise doesn't play any real competition the rest of the season, as they didn't look like a top team, either. The game was a disappointment, from start to finish. And the guys who were calling it for ESPN? Were they paid off by the Boise athletic association or just members of it? Even for the unemployables that Disney has all over ESPN calling games, those guys were bad.
As for the end of the game punch out, was ESPN's clip this morning showing the taunting by the Boise player? Anyone lip-read?
What did he call the Oregon player? And, yes, he was definitely taunting to the extent that his coach was trying to make him stop. Feel sure ESPN cut that out, from reactions here. Just because you are on your own sideline does not mean that you can expect total immunity from paybacks.
Paybacks are hell.
Did I mention that Oregon looked more like what I expect out of a PAC-10 cellar team than a leader? Stanford should be looking forward to the match-up with them this year.
All-in-all, the game was a waste of time, but was really hyped on seeing some good college action.
On the other hand, folks, it looks as if IU may have a very decent team this year, especially compared to typical IU standards.
On the SEC & ACC side, it looks like its going to be a longggggggggg season for SC AND NCState. Both will come in at the bottom of their conferences.
