    With that schedule, you should be able to make it to the BCS games. Should....

      The SEC model, particularly if you schedule all three as home games.

          I honestly didn't see it. But you're right. It's a knee-slapper.

            I could've sworn HFN's post had slight undertones of the Sooner Screwjob in Eugene in 2006 (2007?), but maybe I was reading too much into it.

                I read it the same way.

                  Somehow I think you won't get much sympathy for having to play Idaho State on this particular board

                      Cut him some slack, as he's a relative newcomer, and from Utefans with that stupid system where readers judge each post with red stars or blue stars, signifying their appreciation or lack thereof. Around here, everyone knows pretty much everyone else and the humor or insights don't need a high five every time. Pretty much every HFN post deserves a , a , or a , but why encourage him?

                                Yes, well, you guys are all very funny. But given Oregon's limited success against traditional powers last year, I rather doubt they want to go out of their way to add any extras to the sked--much less a team that they've only defeated once. Ever.
