Game Thread: Fiesta Bowl: Oregon vs. Kansas State

[JeffAtlanta]

I lot of the love that KSU gets is out of respect for Bill Synder. KSU fans seem to hate the SEC and Alabama in particular so I hope they lose, but I do like team.

If KSU wins, they will claim to be #1 (just like all Big-12 schools do) - especially since the Big-12 has won most of its bowl games, so I'd really like to see them get pounded. Oregon is used to coming up short so they probably won't say too much.

Personally, I don't have a problem with Oregon. Granted, I hate every college football team not named Alabama... but Oregon doesn't get me really worked up.

as a runner, i appreciate their approach to winning, run their opponents ragged.

I think the problem that most have with Oregon's style is not the conditioning aspect but the reliance on chaos.

Not going to lie... I own a pair of green and yellow shoes I call "Ducks", although they are from Adidas.

Did you know the Celts originated in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain)? I was surprised to learn that.

It's really much, much more complicated than that. If you're interested in a little genetic history, the book I mentioned is a great read. Even Iceland is over 50% Keltic by DNA...

K St is going to need to get into the endzone when they inside the red zone this half.

I would say it's the avoidance of playing grown man football (i.e. lining up and physically dominating the man in front of you).

Didn't know K State fans disliked Alabama...

One play can put K State back in the game.

Yeah KSU boards are huge believers in the vast Alabama /ESPN conspiracy.

Well, good for them.
