2013 Week 11 CFB Open Thread

[BayBuck]

This doesn't really answer your question, but Oregon has only been relevent on the college football landscape for 5 or 6 years, in as much as they could even think of sniffing a national championship. But in that time, they've managed to lose both bowl games that they played in where they weren't faced with another conference's second best team(tOSU and Auburn) and they typically [Mark May] the bed against either Stanford, USC and of all teams Cal.

Although it is funny to look way back at 2001, Bellotti's best season at Oregon, when Stanford knocked them out of the title game for the first time.

A couple years ago I worked at a radio station in Atlanta where David Pollack was an afternoon show host. I can confirm that basically what you see on TV is what you see off camera. He's a good family guy, great college player, and suffered a terrible injury, but yeah, that's accurate.

So you worked at 790. Is Steak Shapiro as big of a jerk off the air as on it?

I did. Steak actually isn't that bad. The morning guys were all pretty cool. I worked a lot with Nick Cellini and Chris Dimino and they'll actually talk with you. Cellini is a funny dude. Mike Bell less so. Things have changed quite a bit since I was there though.

I haven't been paying attention to the Heisman stuff, but, aren't Johnny Football's numbers better than last years?

Yeah, it's sad how things turned out for the Mayhem crew.

Just IMO but ever since they elected to give the trophy to Cam Newton when everyone KNEW he was dirty, the heisman no longer means shit to me.

They are slightly, I think. Winston is probably the best bet to hold him off unless somebody else emerges this month. Also have to wonder how much Johnny Paycheck's antics/personality will put off voters if it goes down to the wire...

I pretty much feel the same way. The year Mark Ingram won it tainted it some for me too, as I felt Gerhart and/or Suh were more deserving. It doesn't seem to feel as important anymore...and seems to be a lot less talk/coverage this year. To me, anyway.

The fact the frontrunners through the first eight weeks of the season played for Texas A&M, Louisville, and Oregon probably has a lot to do with that though.
