    Todd's Bio
    About Me:I am an Oregon Ducks fan. I graduated from the University of Oregon, and met my wife there. The Ducks are the perpetual underdog. They have more desire, more effort, and more heart than the "big name" teams, so that they have a chance to win. If you were asked where to find Oregon (ORYGUN) on a map, could you find it? Most sports prognosticators don't know, because they think we still ride horses out here, and therefore overlook the Oregon Ducks. That's OK, because the Ducks will keep crashing the championship parties until someone... anyone notices. I'm also a supporter of other teams/universities based here in Oregon, like the Portland Trail Blazers, the Portland State Vikings, the Oregon State Beavers (when they're not playing the Ducks), the Portland Lumberjax, and the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. Drop me a line anytime to discuss Oregon sports, or just to say hey.

    I sat there stunned during the Sun Bowl.  Great job Todd, your boys impressed the heck out of me, especially the OL. Can you tell me how many starting OL are back from last year?

    After watching Blount in the spring game (4 carries for 100+ yards against the 1st team defence) and the recent emergence of the Costa-to-Williams connection, watch out USC!!!!  Probably won't win the Pac-10 because of a brutal road schedule, but nobody had better sleep on this  post (more)

    Ugly uni's, expensive helmet paint, but good football. Someone please tell Phil Knight that the Roller Ball (I am talking the orginal with James Caan) uni's have to go.
    Smart Comment by RichmondSpider in FanIQ College Football Top 25: No. 24 California Golden Bears | 25 days ago
    Don't we go through this every season - Cal gets ranked, usually higher than this, they hang around then take a nosedive the last half of the season?  Maybe picking them as low as 24 to start with will make the slide downward less noticable.
