Oregon State at Arizona discussion thread

Friends? You have friends? It’s certainly not us. You must be a blast at a party talking about your STD’s and hemorrhoid’s. I am sure your wife is equally as pessimistic and she searches for a quality lay but has to settle for your small micro Dick

Very impressive stat, but ends today.

Was it that long ago UA had the worst red zone offense and defense in the nation under Sumlin?

[azgreg]

I'm anticipating a huge letdown tonight. Granted most U of A football games are a letdown but coming off a rare road victory my expectations are understandably low. This game is a matchup nightmare for Arizona. The defense is going to get a hefty dose of smash mouth football and simply don't have he personnel to stop it. Couple that with OSU's strength on the defensive line and it's going to be a long night. This one is gonna be ugly my friends. The stadium will be 3/4 empty by the middle of the 3rd quarter. Seemingly all enthusiasm from the WSU win already seems like a distant memory. It was likely our last win of the season.

How is it you can type so much with your head so far up your ass?

Guys we are way out over our skis because of our outstanding victory over WSU. We have barely won double digit victories in 4 years. We will be playing a team motivated to win the PAC because they have no conference to go to. Play tough, no one get hurt and hope to keep the folks on the East coast past their bedtime. I don't see us winning this game but that is why they play them.

So in your mind the experts who pick the spread have grossly overrated the cats?

Sure OSU will be motivated but so will we. We are on that journey for respect and relevance not to mention for a bowl bid.

This game is going to be just what the line indicates, a nut cutter.

You mean the same experts that had WSU as double digit favorites against us? This game will be very difficult for us as Oregon ST. is a power rushing team and has a solid defense. My hope is that we can put some wrinkles in our defense to stop the run like we have to stop pass heavy teams. Their running backs are big and fast (kind of like Coleman only taller) and will be a real test for us if they make it to the secondary. I'm hopeful but realistically I think this is the type of team that has gotten away from us in the past. One of the things that give me real hope is how well I think our Oline has played. Hoping for the best.

[KillerKlown]

I mean our rush defense is #17th in rush yards allowed per game while also being #13th in opp. rush attempts per game. It's not like they've been facing passing only teams. I don't know what more you can ask for besides being a Georgia or Alabama.

[BBQ wildcat]

I’m going to temper my expectations. The last game was awesome but it might have just been all the stars aligning. Just a few weeks ago most of us had a hard time finding two wins out of the upcoming 7 games. Now I see someone talked about winning out. I hope we can get to 6 wins at least. That would be a huge achievement given where we were two years ago

In warmups, Loop good from 63 against a moderate wind. I bet he is surprised he hasn’t hit from 50 yet

[azcat49]

Cue up, tonight’s going to be a good night by the black eyed peas! I think we are ready

I like this take!

College football picks against the spread: Stewart Mandel’s Week 9 picks

No. 11 Oregon State (-3.5) at Arizona, 10:30 p.m. (ESPN)

Arizona has been one of the season’s most pleasant surprises. Jedd Fisch’s 4-3 team can score points, but it also has a much-improved defense. The Wildcats have faced the likes of Michael Penix Jr., Caleb Williams and Cam Ward, yet have allowed just five passing TDs on the season. They’ll make life difficult for Oregon State’s DJ Uiagalelei.

Arizona 27, Oregon State 24

The pick: Arizona +3.5

Yeah, I REALLY like that take!!!

[Carcassdragger]

This team didn't know how good they were earlier this season. Now they know if they execute, play physical, and don't miss tackles, they are very good.

Screw kicking the can down the road. We're winning this game because we can. It's our time now.

This is our time!

START THE SONG FLOWE

[Postmaster]

Overheard some guy say he knows some guy who works at FESPN and said if we win, Gameday will make a visit this year.

We are 0-2 on GameDays so maybe best if they stay away.

[azcat49]

Only game I could see them come out to would be Utah but that would probably necessitate both teams winning out until they meet.

Utah has ASSU and UDub and we have UCLA and CU. Not sure what other national games are that week but it could be a game vs two nationally ranked teams

[ASUHATER!]

I doubt they come but if we're 7-3 and ranked and Utah is 8-2 and like #10 we could get GameDay

Hey dickhead

Sorry to spoil your obvious plan to come here and gloat to all of us if we suffered a close loss. In case you've missed it, Jedd's teams just don't give up and now that we've got a bit more skill, who knows what can happen.

Why don't you just check out and let the rest of us enjoy something we've haven't had in a while which is a great group of inspiring kids.

Oh, and fuck off.

[PHXCATS]

Serious question

Why does anyone care about this and why is Spears posting this?

My question is: Why don’t those of us enjoying something we haven’t in a while just ignore the troll who’s only payoff is the responses he “provokes”??? Why reward this???

Hey scooter, I'm not like your other fans here. Keep posting. For me you're always good for a Sunday morning laugh. I think you're the funniest thing since fake snot.

[FreeSpiritCat]

I think it is funny that so many people are upset about Captain Oblivious. There is an ignore option. I don't ignore him I just skip past his posts. I don't read them.
