Gameday - Oregon
We have been busy with business and have been unable to update the website as often as we would like this week. It’s a shame because this is the biggest week this year so far, as we have been saying. That is the story line that the press is picking up on as well. Today is the litmus test for this Bruiins team and perhaps for Dorrell as a head coach. Hard to believe that one game can carry that kind of importance, but it does. For the first time this year we are playing a real team. For the first time in his career as a head coach Dorrell can pick up a win on the road against a team with a winning record. For the first time in his career as a head coach Dorrell can pick up a big win. Our defense can measure their true talent today against the nation’s #4 ranked offense. Svoboda and the offense can measure their true abilities against an average defense but also in an infamously hostile stadium and against an offense that can put up points.
We have been saying this all week, the way we play today will set up the rest of the season. Pat Cowen is ready to go and the team is behind him. KD says there will be no drop off. No excuses coach, no scapegoats. Let’s get it done!! Go Bruins!!

The first half was vintage watching a well coached team jump ahead of a so-so team. Oregon played faster and with more confidence. Is this KD’s best team?
DumpDorrell @ 5:08 pm:
KD said this is his best team yet AND that this team was going to shock people. He has to go the rest of the season undefeated to do that. In the meantime, his legacy continues to build.

I will say it again, it is sad. I would think that if the Rose Bowl attracted another 20,000 for a game due to our winning record, the school would have to make more $$. Another blogster discusses how SC spends more $$ than UCLA on football coaches but I believe there is no reason UCLA cannot be in the same league if the administration could discern that more attendance and better TV placements result in more $$. This is like raising the price of tickets for the subway in NYC to make more money and then fewer people ride the subway and revenue falls. There are some basic economics lessons that the Kiniseology majors in the athletic department are missing. Pay more, get better product, attract more fans, better TV packages (yesterday’s game on ABC was not HD, but SC was), more $$ for the school to fund other programs.
