I gotta go with the U of O b/c 1) they have everything to gain and nothing to lose, 2) I think they are stick and tired of hearing how great Cam Nelson is and how tough the SEC is supposed to be, 3) IMO they are a more physical team and very dangerous in the 2nd half b/c of their cardio, 3) I believe they have many more explosive players than U of A, 4) they change up their plays a lot and run them fast, 5) the U of O defense is every bit as good as their offense, but the offense out shadows the defense at present.

Either way it should be a very good game, but I'm stay'n with da Ducks---GO DUCKS

I'm pulling for the Ducks. Not sure how this will play out though. AU might get crushed, but perhaps they will have one more comeback in them. Hope not.

As an Alabama fan, I have to go with the Ducks.  I know there are a lot of conflicted Alabama fans out there who for some reason or another think that it will be bad for the SEC if Auburn loses.  I feel exactly the opposite.  If Auburn wins, there is a very real possibility that their title will be stripped because of NCAA violations.  If that happens, it will give all of the other SEC teams that have won national championships over the past four years - Alabama included - a black eye by association.  Everyone will assume that if Auburn cheated, we all cheated.

Given what I've read, heard and seen, the Ducks are looking at this as a "business trip".  Auburn... not so much.  I've seen far too many teams come into games "loose" only to take a quarter and a half to finally realize that they are actually in a ball game.  Auburn seems to think that they are preordained as champions and that this game is just a formality.  If they are complacent, Oregon will boat-race them in the first quarter and it will be 21-0 before they know what hit them.  Oregon is fast and their offensive line is no pushover.  If I'm Chip Kelly, I roll my quarterback out and make Fairley and company play chase on every play.  With Oregon's frenetic pace, Auburn's defensive line could be sucking oxygen by the second quarter.

And... this didn't happen :)

I thought it was a good game, but Oregon was no match for the size and sound fundamentals of Auburns defense.  As a former Oregonian and a big Beaver fan, it was very interesting to see how quickly Oregon's famed offense was reduced to resorting to fake punts and risky shovel passes for first downs.

Yet the game ended on a last second field goal.  I wouldn't say Oregon was no match for Auburns d.  They still put up 450 yards of offense.  They just adjusted and went with a passing theme since the run didn't work.

Congrats to Auburn, the one hit wonder they are.  They'll go back to 7 or 8 wins next year.  Oregon will be tough again next year, although they will not be starting off easy, as I'm of the opinion that their first opponent will be the champs (that being Louisiana State)

I thought Auburn's defensive front dominated the game and Chip Kelly outcoached hisself.  The outcome could have easily been reversed.

Jim Tressel has resigned as Ohio St. football coach.  I guess the all the lying finally caught up with him.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Sounds like this is about to get ugly for the Buckeyes.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
