Honestly Knapp...
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

The alternating colors on your field turf - light green/dark green/light green/etc.

I know everyone in Oregon thinks Nebraska is the bee's knees, and I get that it's flattering, but you really ought to give us credit.

Oh, I see.

I hope for your sake it doesn't end up anywhere close to the last UO game at USC.

Thanks!
It's on you to keep the Oregon home-game-win-streak alive against them. Mebbe we sweep 'em!

And for what it's worth, I hope your Beavs kick the crap outta Boise and their nasty-a** blue turf! You guys have a brutal schedule for the first few weeks.

Let the Thomas era begin.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP)—Darron Thomas will be No. 11 Oregon’s starting quarterback for the opener against New Mexico, taking over the Ducks after the dismissal of Jeremiah Masoli.

Thomas has been competing for the job against senior Nate Costa throughout fall camp. While Costa is more of a traditional passer, Thomas is more of a threat on the ground, much like Masoli.

Thomas, a 6-3, 212-pound sophomore, played in five games as a true freshman in 2008, completing 16 of 33 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns.

Called on when Oregon was hit by a slew of injuries, Thomas came close, but just missed on leading the Ducks to a come-from-behind victory at home against Boise State that season. The Broncos won 37-32.

He redshirted the 2009 season.

“I feel like I’m ready to go,” Thomas said when Oregon opened camp. “I hope it’s my time. I’ve been out here two years and gotten comfortable with the offense and I’m just building confidence.”

It's nice that Kelly went through the charade of having a "competition" but anybody with half a brain cell knew that the starter would not be the senior with two bum knees.

Sweet. I was hoping for him. Sad for Costa, though. He has all the talent and is a good passer; but let the rein of DT begin!

Totally. Like Nfl said, he's got a great arm and extremely talented but there's no way he was taking the reigns. Really his "bum knees" are just part of the reason why he's not getting the starting gig. The main reason is he just doesn't fit the Ducks offensive style. Oregon relies on having a mobile QB...Costa is not that.
