Right now, I couldn’t even tell you who’s in the game tonight. And, I don’t care.

Then please go away and let the rest of us enjoy the game.

I'm sure there's a cooking or home improvement show on to keep you entertained.

Oregons offense is really not gimicky, it is just a spread type offense. The weird part is they will snap the ball with 20 seconds on the play clock, they try and play ball at the pace of a Paul Westhead college B-ball run and gun game. I absolutely hate it. It ruins the flow of football, and takes it on a course to an NBA look. GO AUBURN

I have to disagree. I like seeing different teams run different offensive philosophies. If Auburn wants to win this game I think they'll need to ball hog. There were a lot of Auburn Tigers sucking air trying to keep up with the offensive pace the Ducks are setting.

The Tigers have a good offense, also. Whatever Cam Newton's offenses off the field, without him Auburn is an 8-3 team.

Auburn is a second half team if there ever was one. It'll be interesting to see if Oregon can hang in the 3rd and 4th quarters.

They've impressed me so far, but after after what Auburn did in the second half to Alabama, I'd say even if they're a few points behind it might not end close.

I was hoping the Oregon coach got the Coach of the Year Award. The Auburn coach had Cam all year.

Actually, I really wanted Gary Patterson to get it, but that was never an option.

I heard today that Oregon has scored more 4Q points than anyone in the nation, so it should be a good end.

Go West, young man.

The Auburn defense must have got their second wind to score that safety.

I am in constant suprise at who sponsors these games.

I love Tostitos but they sell enough to sponsor a game?
My Pitt team won the Compass bowl and I have no clue who they are.
But the best name was the Fight Hangover Bowl.

Some real yellow on that Oregon team. All you can see is shoes.

Yeah, Auburn held the ball for over seven minutes on that drive where they turned the ball over on downs. They needed that, cause their defense was gassed.

I have watched nearly every game Oregon has played against a quality opponent. Most teams were ahead or very close at halftime, afterwards Oregon would score on 3-5 straight possessions and put it away. I also watched a lot of Auburn, they are a favorite of mine. Until the final gun sounds with the Tigers ahead, I won’t believe they will be victorious. I want them to win, I am rooting for it, but sadly I think O is a better team. I live in Washington State, so I have a natural hatred for all things from the Looneyversity of O.....it is more liberal than Bazerkely believe it or not.

I’ve noticed players are slipping all over the place, whoever maintained that field did a rotten job.

"Gone is the traditional New Years Day of 4 great football games played by the best teams."

Couldn't agree with you more. However, that is not the way the world works anymore.
6-6 teams, etc., make it.
The money.

It is not about to change.

OK, is it time for the Ducks to wake up?
