We’ve heard rumors that U of O will be changing their uniforms (no surprise there) and logo in light of recent events, and it may look a little like this…

Honestly, we’re pretty sure this precipitous slide all started on a fine evening in Boise last September…yeah, the now famous night when the now infamous LeGarrette Blount-Force Trauma had his lunch handed to him during the game, and took out his frustrations afterwards on dude’s jaw.

So today we hear that after an offseason filled with a star quarterback’s fraternity thefts (season-long suspension) and a star running back’s girlfriend choking (a few game suspension…odd in-house sentencing), U of O has dismissed the QB that makes that shitshow go, Jeremiah Masoli, for a “failure to adhere to obligations”. We shudder to think about how stringent those obligations assuredly were. I mean, even LGB got himself reinstated. We can’t decide if Chip Kelly has absolutely no idea how to keep that program afloat, or if Bellotti saw the monster he had created/recruited and ducked out (pun totally intended) while they were only 0-1 against BSU. He did make a curious exit from coaching and an even curiouser exit from his 9 month stint as the AD.

This post really has no point, other than to let you know we still Love Our Ducks and that Bad Moon Over Autzen remains a hot seller in the 541.

It's like deja blue, all over again.

Pat Forde is generally spot on, but his assertion that “Having the BCS is worse than having shingles” is simply not true. (See article here). We’re not pro-BCS, necessarily, but we’re pretty sure we’d rather watch a psuedo-National Championship game than suffering if not the indignity, than certainly the pain, of shingles.

Additionally, we are not sure there is any indignity associated with shingles. No offense to all you shingles sufferers out there.

Homerism is not unlike optimism in that our cup runneth over here in the 208. There is no doubt that Boise, as a whole, believes TCU could and even should be playing a few days from now against Alabama. Even so, you would also be hard-pressed to find anybody in Boise picking against BSU tonight. It’s just how it goes in a small town. I’m not saying we are hanging our entire emotional, spiritual and financial outlook for 2010 on tonight’s game…just the first 4 months or so of the New Year until Spring Camp opens.

Can BSU really play in the BCS national championship game?

Can BSU really reach the national title game?

A lot of things would have to happen…a lot of fortuitous thing…not the least of which would be a Boise State win this Saturday vs. UC Davis.
