During the Pac-10 teleconference Tuesday, Harbaugh told a parable about stone cutters and quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson. Kelly opened his news conference after the Ducks' victory this past Saturday over Arizona State by replying "Sure," to a 200-word question (It was funny).

Haha. You beat me to it. I just read that and though it belonged over here.

Very funny.

The best part of that press conference was Chip's answer to what we needed to do to be successful against Luck: "25 interceptions". Freakin classic.

Just as you would expect Kelly to answer a question like that.

"The Ducks impose their physicality in a far different way. They use their blinding speed to make teams cave mentally (see Tennessee) by believing that they just can't keep up. Notice I didn't say "finesse." Oregon will bring the lumber. It's just the speed and tempo that ultimately break its opponents."

Correction, that was Rece Davis. My fault.

Ted Miller's prediction:

Oregon 41, Stanford 35: The Ducks had a "We just pounded USC" hangover early in last year's game. That won't be the case this year. Two things swing this to the Ducks: 1. Speedy players making big plays in space; 2. The frenzied Autzen horde.

CK on the game this weekend...

“We’ve got a huge home-field advantage, and we hope our crowd’s behind us,” he added. “The one thing I talked about last week was winning on the road is really difficult, and thank goodness we’re home (now). It’s going to be great game. Stanford is a really good football team.”

Hell yes! Lets get it on...

Hell Yeah! Unleash a Horde that would make even Mordor jealous. (LotR FTW)

I was more thinking Viking horde (storming out of the north), but Sauron/Morgoth works too (yes LotR is win)

Jon Gruden on Oregon's offense:

“I was so eager to learn it, I almost took the job,” said Gruden, who turned down a shot to become Kelly’s offensive coordinator to become an ESPN analyst. “My wife said, ‘Are you the craziest human being alive, you want to move to Oregon to learn an offense?’

“I said: ‘But Cindy, it’s the Oregon spread. It’s unbelievable.’ She didn’t see it from my point of view.”

She does not know what she is talking about, Oregon is beautiful! Heck, leave her behind and re-consider!

It's hard to trade in Florida for Oregon. Plus they have kids in high school down there so I don't think she wanted to uproot them either.

Great quote fro ESPN...

"-- He Who Shall Not Be Named can now be named. Jeremiah Masoli? Neh. The "oh, what might have been!" is gone. Oregon doesn't need him. Sure, the Ducks offense ran at ludicrous speed with him last year. But their 2010 spread-option offense is running at double-secret ludicrous speed. "
