Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

I think Oregon, turnovers aside, is asserting itself much better right now than Auburn. I think Auburn is more physical, but the tempo and speed is effecting Auburn more so than the Ducks.

Ducks quacking on the door, trying to start the second quarter with a score -- something both teams failed to do in Q1.

Poor 4th down pass by Newton cost Auburn a TD.

safety! OMG this is a game.... I'm so hoping Auburn drives to end the half and then also punches in the first drive of the second half too...

Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

Good half there. Took both teams a few drives to settle in but that's typical in these games. Teams look pretty even. Either could take it. Not sure these would be the two teams to emerge from a 8 or 16 game playoff.

That 32 for auburn should have been ejected for that stupid penalty.

Whoever the clown is that picks Oregon's uniform combinations, needs to be smacked. Are there actually people that think that is cool?

I agree on all points, including that #32 should be gone.
I expect scoring to pick up in the second half and I expect Auburn to win (unfortunately).

Re: Who is your pick to win the BCS National Championship?

On one hand I'm over confident about adjustments at halftime given Auburn's coaching staff...on the other hand, I'm very worried about adjustments given Oregon's coaching staff... Auburn's defense seemed to sit for most of the second quarter....that could turn out to be important.

Believe it or not, I read that Oregon's garb is the second best selling of all college sports teams this past year. Can't remember where I read it, but kids love their colors/uniforms. So whoever the clown is that designs them is apparently doing their job.

Yes and people watch the Kardashians. Doesn't make it right.
