Oregon clear up to third in the BCS. A bye week and then three relatively easy games, so Dixon can get his legs back under him. WE ARE LOOKING GOOD!!

"Gin"? I didn't realize it was such a party school.

You sure didn't read that anywhere. The "official" pronunciation key is "Ory-gun" which is about right although a little exaggerated. I prefer to write it "Or-uh-gn" with the emphasis on "Or" and then slurring through the rest. Most easterners and many mid-westerners say "Ahr- gahn".

But Scrappy, didn't you know that Animal House was filmed at U of O? It's a party school alright. (Although I'm not telling my 17 yr old that. He's going there next year.)

Is that the same team that, in the same situation last year, got completely crushed by Flordida (and no, I'm NOT a Florida fan). Is the same thing about to happen again?

The only midwesterners that say "Ahr- gahn" are those uppity snobs who wish they were from Boston.

Yea, Jimgolf is from SomeWhere Else. Us Webfoots say Or-uh-gn. It's very understated, subtle, familiar, homey.

Hey - that's cool Juulie.

I know Huntsville, quite well in fact. Golf, water activities, cottaging - it's the good life!

Got that right! Last survey results I heard were that U of O was #7 party school in the country & #1 in marijuana use.....

True, but perhaps another SEC school! If OSU is still as lumbering as they were last year and they meet up with a team of speedsters (perhaps LSU, who has a pretty easy schedule remainig except for the SEC champ. game), we'll probably get the same result.
