^^^Sigh. This is what I get for being happy Boise lost on a field goal last week - football Karma. Bring on the whatever bowl.

This.
Also potentially because I complained that the Stanford game was boring.

So it was YOUR fault too! Well, good to know it wasn't all me then.
Greeklove21 (who is, admittedly, a little hyper-competitive) has chosen to blame it ALL on Chip Kelly. Yeah, the guy's lost 4 games in his entire 3 years as head coach and she thinks he need to be run out on a rail. 
I'm a little more level headed- but then again, I can clearly remember when winning 4 games in an entire season would have been a good year for the Ducks.

This sounds like a pretty good thing to me right now.

It is ridiculous how much I have talked about this.
Part of it was Chip's fault. I understand he was trying to manage the time and end with a score. However, we shouldn't have gone from having a minute to score to having to rely on a field goal with 3 seconds left.
If we had showed up at all before the end of the third quarter and gotten our act together for a minute during the first half, it wouldn't have been an issue. I think we got cocky with Stanford last week.
We haven't recruited a kicker in two years. Maldonado is 6 for 11 this season. We don't need a kicker very often because we usually get touchdowns and don't need fieldgoals for points. However, HE SHOULD BE BETTER!
USC played really well. We barely showed up.
I feel bad for the Beavers next week. We are going to masacre them to make up for it.

I'm sure he made some bad decisions (I can't bring myself to actually watch the game or even read anything about it, so I'll trust you). No coach is going to be right all of the time - coaches who take gambles will win big or fail big.
At any rate - not ready to go along with daughter and throw him under the bus. They're pretty young, so if at the start of the year, you had told me we were going to go 10-2 (assuming we beat the Beavs), lose to 2 top 25 teams (one, the top team), and head back to a Rose Bowl, I'd have been pretty happy.
I think we just haven't ever had anything close to this kind of success before, so when we have a bad game - we don't quite know what to do with that. And you younguns' don't remember how truly BAD it was back in the day. I could tell stories....it was SO bad. Even 4 or 5 years ago a 8-4, 9-3, or 10-2 season was good for us.
As for Maldanado - he really hasn't had a lot of practice - particularly in high pressure situations. He hasn't even been in a college game where it came down to a field goal. This is his first year starting - he'll get there. I always feel bad for the kicker
in those situations - unless they're from Boise State of course. 
I agree that they are used to being able to keep it close or even be behind and get caught up quickly in the 2nd half. They did catch up - but with some teams you can't get caught up fast enough to recover. They do need to learn that and stop depending on the 2nd half.
Pearlbubbles - You're also too young to remember (I think) that CU was a great team in the early 90's. They will be again - have faith!!!

I fully expect Meatchicken to beat OSU next weekend. I'm a realist.

If there was ever a year for it to happen, this is it. But the "dazed and blue" will never, ever live down the dominance of one James Patrick Tressel and his 9-1 trainwrecking record against them.
UM, yall better get it while you can, because we will be back.
Sincerely,
BuckeyeNation

Yeah, especially if Urban does come to tOSU with his buddy from BGSU, Greg Studwara, who is now LSU's assistant coach on offense. I do hope it happens.
But I do have to give kudos to Michigan's coach this year. Grudgingly. Very grudgingly.

LSU needs to go down next weekend. Just so I can a) watch the BCS computers melt down and b) lord it over the LSU side of my family.
