OREGON/ARIZONA: THE FACTOR SIX SIX FACTOR PREVIEW
For tonight's extremely important political campaign entitled "Oregon at Arizona," we bust out the Factor Six Six Factor Preview, where we weigh the six least important factors between the two teams to decide who will be the victor in tonight's lone chance to prove to the East Coast that Dennis Dixon does, in fact exist Pac-10 game.
1. Mascot
2. Head coach.
3. Team name.
4. General aura.
5. Best roster name.
6. The Factor Six factor
This is science. Doubt it and die a fiery death when the evil hand of Werner Von Braun strikes you dead with its cold, logical fury.
1. Mascot
Oregon's got Daffy Duck wearing a shade of green commonly found in only the most pustulent of infected wounds. Disney and dazzlingly unfashionable duds should have your inner Tim Gunn running into the arms of Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat, who being somewhat scruffy, wizened, and casually dressed in camo (as they are here) pretty much look like half the people who live in Arizona.
Consider, though, the fact that behind the smiling bill and jaunty duds, there lies a killer in the empty, giddy eyes of the Oregon Duck.
That's a mascot who'll ride or die with you, lawya.
Advantage: Oregon
Oregon, you've been factor'd!
2. Head coach
Oregon. We've heard multiple times that of all the guys you would like to have a beer with in the ranks of coaching, it's Mike Bellotti.
We've heard this from numerous people whose opinions we trust on the matter. And his wife is crazy and attacks sportswriters in the booth, so you know you'll have something to talk about, at least: women, man. Women.
Whereas, if you had a beer with Mike Stoops, you're bound to begin with the same line, even if you prepare another one in advance.
You: So, um...you're Bob Stoops' brother, right?
Mike Stoops: (Hits you in the face with an ashtray.) Bartender! Shots! NOW!
Advantage: Oregon.
Oregon, you've been factor'd!
3. Team Name:
Wildcats. By many, many furlongs. Ducks are forever bitching at you to feed them cheap white bread, leaving greasy shit all over lakeshores and park lawns, and refusing to let our Great Dane devour them whole without a chase. A wildcat, as a feral cat of some sort wandering the Great American southwest, at least serves a purpose by eating rats, something a duck would never do, as far as we know.
If you do possess video of a duck eating a rat, we want to see it, not only for the fact that this would be a the most badass duck this side of Darkwing Duck, but it would finally allow us to displace the "cow eats duck" video from our brain. Remember, don't keep the sad in--spread it via the magic of the internet.
Advantage: Arizona.
Arizona, you've been factor'd!
General Aura.
John Mackovic coached at Arizona within the past five years. Until that odor of anti-charisma completely drifts away from the atmosphere over Tucson, Oregon wins this one running away. Plus, Rich Brooks thinks any pick but Oregon here would be bullshit--after all, they play on Rich Brooks field.
Advantage: Oregon.
Oregon, you've been factor'd!
5. Roster name.
Oregon's a bit thin here. Fenuki Tupou? It's not even properly outlandish enough for a Polynesian name, what with it only having six vowels. What's a properly vowel-laden Polynesian name? Arizona's linebacker Apaiata Tuihalamaka, with eleven mighty vowels in his name, that's vowelfest from the islands for ya.
Advantage: Arizona.
Arizona, you've been factor'd.
6. The Factor Six Factor Six.
We choose the random factor of "your quarterback often looks as if he's about to devour the ball," which Oregon wins hands down. Dennis Dixon has the knack for being photographed with the ball held just under his mouth as if he were about it devour it much like Mark Mangino would.
(ZING! This is a cheap shot. Mangino would have his with tartar sauce and batter fried. Totally different thing there.)
So many of us hunger for victory...but only Dennis Dixon actually goes out there and tries to eat it, one touchdown at a time.



Advantage: Oregon.
Oregon, you've been factor'd.
Summary: Oregon in a landslide. Got a spare kidney? Hope so, because we're wagering it on an Oregon victory here.

For the love of all that’s holy, let Oregon embarrass the shit out of the mildrats tonight. Let the entire nation see what a trainwreck the alleged football program at arizona is, what a dump arizona stadium is, and how absolutely godforsaken the entire city of tucson is. I would love for a Kansas-Nebraska type score to be posted by the Ducks.
The only things that make me think even a little bit that ua should/might win are 1) an Oregon loss would put ASU back in the conference title race…but UCLA and OSU can also take care of that, and 2) They have a tendency to pull at least one “where the hell did THAT come from?!?” upset out of their ass every year, and I don’t want ASU to be the victim of that one in 2 weeks.

Gosh, a Dixon-less Oregon team looks a lot like a Ginn-less Ohio State team…shell shocked, lost, and hopeless.

The line on this game dropped 1.5 pts. today alone. Oregon was favored by 12.5 & then kapow! Down to 11 in one day. I noticed this this afternoon & thought something suspicious was up. Lines rarely move more than a point in the same day unless a LOT of money is wagered.
So somebody knew Dixon’s knee was more gimpy than he was letting on for the line to move 1.5 pts. in Arizona’s favor the day of the game.

Bear,
As long as Hawaii or Boise State doesn’t finish in the top twelve, Pac 10 will get it’s at-large because of the stupid “no more than two teams from the same conference” rule. Most likely it would be a 10-2 Oregon and whoever wins Arizona State-USC.

Henne will start because it is senior day and he is a senior, but how long he plays, who knows. He only played 2 series in the Wisconsin game. If Hart is healthier and can run then maybe Henne will stay longer. If he has to throw alot, it will be interesting to see if his arm can take it.

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT. I SO did not want to be right about the sick feeling I had about this game. I was channel surfing even before Dixon got hurt cause I could see it coming and was hoping that not watching would give the bad juju to the rats. ASU still controls our destiny for the Pac 10 and the Rose Bowl (Oregon with Brady Leaf at the controls may very well lose out and we’d be back to just one conference team) but I wanted it to be because we won out and the only team to beat us was the eventual national champion.
And now I have to listen to 2 solid weeks of those bastard pricks crowing about how they’ve turned the corner again, including a visit to tu-scum for thanksgiving with the fiancee’s family. Fuckity fuck fucking fuckers. :(

I take it back. The Big XII may not sort itself out. My feeling is if every conference had a round robin, you wouldn’t need the 2 spots max rule. You would know a team didn’t get to 10 wins just because they dodged the top teams. Hell, Texas might be better than Kansas and Mizzou, but we’ll never know. Bummer.
by Jube on Nov 15, 2007 11:31 PM EST reply actions
If ASU loses to USC and then wins it final game(s), and USC beats UCLA, the Pac-10 would probably still get 2 BCS bids.
This is assuming Oregon doesn’t win its last 2 games after losing tonight.
Basically any 10-2 Pac-10 team will get a BCS bid, one as the champion, one as an at large.

Well, just flipped on the game and BOOM Mother fucker! Oregon is getting Stooped!!! I guess Dixon got gimped up, and the back up looks like a skinny version of Brian Griese trying to run the spread offense….it dont work. NOTE TO OFFENSIVE COORDINATORS: QB’s that were recruited to drop back and pass, and are very white, cannot run the spread option, thus Athletic QB’s arent good drop back passers, and neither the twain shall meet….and if your Heimans to be QB gets hurt, be sure to let your defense know they have to keep playing…and your back up know how to run a spread option read zone offense…this is the most retarded display of offense since Alabama played Miss St….

The problem with the Spread O is that the teams are not physically tough.
And, when you have so much of the O run through your QB, more than a traditional style O, that once that QB goes down, you’re out of the game big-time.
U of A has a weak D, and if Oregon could just line up in the I, they could’ve punished them and worked themselves back into the game while wearing out Arizona.
by NewAZTiger on Nov 16, 2007 12:02 AM EST reply actions
NewAZTiger @ 65, I think it’s the other way around – you run a spread offense because you have an undersized offensive line so you focus on speed instead of force.

Am I the only one who feels good for Ryan Leaf (he’s had success at WTA&M)? I know he was a dick in the NFL, and he was a collosal bust, but the guy could have done what Rodney Harrison wanted and just sat on his cash for the rest of his days, but instead he’s using his experiences to try and help other young kids out.
And he isn’t doing this at Texas. He’s doing it at West Texas A&M.

D-nice — you forget, the powers that be conspire against the Pac 10. It was already gonna be a stretch for Oregon to hold off the Big 12 teams since the national media wants to punish the Pac 10 for not having a conference title game (even though we, you know, PLAY ALL THE OTHER TEAMS ALREADY…) Couple that with the seduction of all those frozen Big 12 and football mad SEC fans traveling, and there is NO WAY that a 2 loss Pac 10 school that isn’t USC makes it to the BCS.
Whoever wins the conference will go to the Rose Bowl, and that will be it. The only scenario where 2 west coast teams make the BCS is if one of the teams is playing for the national title, and the Rose Bowl picks another. That’s it.

This season is unbelievable. Suddenly Arizona State, West Virginia, and Ohio State are back in it. I think LSU will lose either to Arkansas or in the Championship Game and ASU to USC. So we’re looking at the Big 12 Champion vs. probably the Big Ten or Big East champs. The Pac-10’s and SEC’s eyes would be permanently rolled in the back of their head.

2006 Florida is the only team in the BCS era to be propelled into the National Championship Game. However, conference title games have cost 1997 Nebraska, 1998 Kansas State, 2001 Texas and Tennessee shots at the national championship and it should have cost Oklahoma a shot in 2003.

Dixon wouldn’t have survived 3 games in the SEC. That looked like High school football. There are big, strong,fast MEN playing the game in the SEC.

Dr. Ed,
As opposed to the Pac-10, where they have small, weak, slow WOMEN playing? I’m an SEC homer, but some of you guys take it to extremes.
And could we make it through one thread without dissertations from TAFKATOSUB, other Ohio State douchebaggery and SEC would kill so-and-so comments?

@ #96 Ya, big tough MEN…. who let Tebow run all over them with basically the same offense. MEN… who can’t load up and stop McFadden and Jones despite their team’s pedestrian passing offense.

I was hoping Dixon would have a poor to average game, but I HATE HATE HATE seeing him go down like that. Hopefully he will be able to come back versus oregon state or at least in a bowl game. And to make matters worse we play on PayPerView this weekend so Heisman voters won’t get to see Tebow.

Orson, could we have an end of the year EDSBS “Mao Edition” highlighting the best of the boathouse shennanigans?

howboutdemgators,
That is a shame, because Tebow has really been underexposed this year.

That was lame. If Dixon didn’t get hurt, Oregon wins by 30 and he might win the Heisman. Lame, lame, lame.

Does anybody want to win a title this year, or is there just going to be a pile of corpses outside the boathouse at the end of the year?

I did like the “Dixon For Heisman” ad/segueway last night. Wah, wah, wah, waaaaahhhhh…

Bay Area Bear @ 93: all true. I suppose that would explain the relative discipline of remaining on the sideline for the last 2 minutes.
But the narrative was all about Dennis Dixon living the dream and honoring his dead mother. What could be more essentially American than that?
Mike Stoops killed that dream. Why does Mike Stoops hate America?

Ryan Leaf was a jackass in high school, a jackass in college, and a jackass in the NFL. I feel bad for his brother, though. The Leaf family is really nice (excepting ol’ Bucky Teef himself).
Maybe he’s turned a new page (sorry, couldn’t go leaf there) but I’ll fondly remember him as the ginormous prick who trashed a luxury hotel room in Bigfork, Montana because he thought he was a rock star despite being kicked to the NFL curb.

In case anyone was wondering, the OSU/UM line moved down today from 4.5 to 4. If it moves down anymore I’m guessing that Henne and/or Hart are ago. Oh and the Oregon chick was getting ready to smash the boozed up Arizona broad with a nasty elbow to the face. This obviously would have led to fistacuffs which means hairpulling and tops coming off leading to someone accidently spilling baby oil all over them then most likely (in my estimation) some heavy scissoring action. Just another reason to hate the WWW

To fans of spread offense teams such as Oregon and Florida: When your QB runs the ball regularly, he’s more likely to get hurt at some point during the season. Therefore, saying that you would not have lost a particular game late in the season had your QB been healthy is rather silly, especially when you have no competent backup. This rule will hold true for future seasons as well. End of lesson.

When this game ended, I flipped over to HBO and watched the last 10 mins. of the Departed….which I think is an perfect analogy of this season for Thurday nights for ranked teams on ESPN.
Everybody gets shot in the head or the face in awesome bullet thru the temple, back or side of head exploding fashion, with bodies piled up beside the elevator, until Marky Mark shoots Matt Damon in the face (The MNC game…Marky Mark =LSU, Matt Damon, being slick and getting the drop on everybody=Kansas…)
