Throwback uniforms
For those interested, I’ve got a picture up of the throwback uniforms that Oregon is wearing today on the live-blog that we’re having over at EMFMV:
Cheers Ken. I always liked those Duck unis and I never understood why they changed their color scheme so dramatically in both football and basketball.
Phil Knight?

I’m with you. Their throwbacks are better than the 1,000 different combinations they come up with.
"It ain't over till it's over." - Yogi Berra
One could say the same...
for our hyperactive uniform changing. I still can’t embrace the gold tops, even though the team tends to win while playing in them.
But I’m a traditionalist in that respect, and don’t care about teams moving product. Pick a good combo and stick with it.
Hey guys
Let’s keep this thread for Cal discussion. Stick with the first open thread for the rest of the games. Thanks!

WHOA
Okanes with a stunner:
The Bears are going th rough their pregame reps, and it appears Syd’Quan Thompson is ready to go and will start. But a surprise on the other side: Josh Hill is taking first team reps instead of Darian Hagan. It appears Hill will get his first career start today.

Wow
I wonder if this a response to Hagan’s play last week or if they think Hill is better against Oregon’s run-heavy offense.

It:s 3:26am, and I’m in Shanghai, trick.
Slingbox stream is FLYING! (not many people are up right now playing WoW) it is 95% like watching live tv. We have 2 people here. Go Bears!
Wish I was in Shanghai right now instead of Taipei so I cheer with fellow bears – it’s getting harder and harder to stay awake!
I find it strange there’s no Taipei group of watchers. I know of one in Beijing and I believe HK has one. I’ll be in Taipei in two weeks – but that’s bye week.
Yea well I just moved here not too long ago – there might be some bear fans but not sure where they’re at – they don’t visit this site!
I’ll try to figure out if any of my friends will be watching in Taipei. I think the 3:30am kick offs will be difficult, but anything that’s like 8am is a strong possibility. I’ve I find out I’ll post it here.
BNeeeed stream ASAP!!!!
Dish Network doesnt have abc!!!!!
anyone have a stream?????
go bears

DVRing college game day. I feel for him, but Corso is gone. he can’t do it anymore. He’s barely getting the words out.
Probably his last year. It’s too bad.

Don't think so
Announcers say they saw blood on his yead. Sofele’s head snapped back pretty far when he ran into the return man, and then Moncrease popped him too.

Thanks for the ball
Suck on that, we got a confirmation!

Damn ESPN 360 seriously lagging about 1 minute and a half
Guess PRD74_2’s feed will work – quality not as good though… too bad
crap decisions so far

First kick went to the 10
Let’s see if D’Amato can get it inside the 10 this time

I see this as a positive – we used to have that period where we could never score off our first posession. Fumble recovery + score is better than nothing, I like this.
And Riley’s passes were on the mark, they just weren’t caught due to great hits/coverage by Oregon. This is encouraging.

Good start, though
Offense got to warm up early.
Anyone else think Casey Mathews has the crazy eyes?

Yeah :(
Think I might only come back to check during commercials……. maybe
I'd actually advise using some of the other streams
360 is better quality, usually, but probono’s stream on JustinTV isn’t bad

Thats not something you see on the kick team very often

Hmm
Penalties are quieting the crowd, which is great.
Nice Speed by Best
Didn’t know he was that fast

My fantasy team injury bug strikes opportunistically!
People always get hurt on my team and I put James into the lineup this morning. Coincidence…?

The rest of my guys are injured or have a bye week.

Yeah, he’s very small, and receivers in the NFL are tall. Could be good in dime packages maybe.

Fans not happy with Masoli

We’re not respecting their outside receivers. They’re probably going to use trips and bubble screen us to get our defenders outside of the box.

I think they’re trying to defend from Masoli going downfield. They’ll live with bubble screens.

The fans are booing
but Masoli made the smart play. Nobody was open.
Our special teams looks so much better this week. I guess this is what happens when Tedford decides to work on it.
Mmm, someone missed a block on that one.

totallyawesome
I understand the updates on notable plays for people without access, but do we need it on every play?
Seriously, the elimination of the 5 yard facemask was a horrible idea unless what used to be a 5 yard facemask is no longer a penalty

Quick review
Outside of forcing fumbles and other special team stuff, has anything good happened during this game?
