BCS Show aka Oregon's lucky Cal missed the FG

[AJ_U]

Something every team has to go through before they get as far as we have.

I liked Chip's comment about the pace of the game making the broadcasters being quiet more.

Way to go Lou, always bringing the lunacy...forget that Oregon missed two FGs, and knelt on the ball to end when they could've scored as well.
Or, to put it in Lou's language...Shesh pashesh osh esh OR-EEE-GONE eesh sheash.

You know, it's not like Auburn needed late collapses by Miss State and Clemson to get here.

[keeerrrttt1]

Don't forget injuries to Mallett or McElroy, otherwise Auburn very easily is a 4 loss team.

[uostudent]

No surprised, Oregon is #2 and Stanford is #4 and will get an automatic bid.

Lou Holtz says Oregon is lucky that Cal missed the FG, I guess they just like to stir the pot.

Is that what he was saying? All I heard was a guy gargling a bunch of marbles in his mouth.

Didn't Lou also say that Notre Dame was going to win the Natty this year? Who really cares what he has to say.
Chip will answer with "Win the Day"

In all fairness, the comment prior to that was also about clemson completing a 5yd pass in OT and Auburn's not there so he did it with both teams.

yeah but still that is at the end of the game and a direct impact on the final score. lou and others keep saying we almost lost if cal made the field, which completely is out of context with what actually happened. if i heard that and was not an oregon fan, and saw the final score, would feel it was in the last seconds, win in reality i wish they would have made it and we went down and scored a td or field goal. doesnt matter we know what happened and were 12 and 0!! something i could only dream of.

That was last year, but not the point.

exactly, the miss happened with 9 minutes left, The Ducks bled all 9 minutes afterward and got into the red zone. If they had needed a score, they would have scored.

He did start off by saying that it was lucky for both to go undefeated, but he seemed to say it like it was a BAD thing to be lucky. It's as if he forgot that his last national championship team was lucky Michigan missed a field goal their first game and not to mention the famous Catholics vs. Convicts game that year...

[karlhungis]

Well, it is completely justified since Auburn didn't have a single close game this year..... .right?

[Sooth]

By that logic - Cal is lucky Oregon missed two field goals and decided to bleed out the clock instead of score on the final drive.

It's abundantly clear that old sack of vomit didn't even watch the game.

They were basically talking about getting lucky in games that you win, hence his comment about the field goal missed by Cal. Of course, if he had actually watched the game or understood it, he would have recognized that had Cal made the FG, the Ducks would have gone down & scored to secure the win but since we didn't, Chip burned the clock. Lou uses whatever he can to make his case, even though it only contains half truths.
