Oregon State game at 4:00 PM on Versus
(Written by kencraw)
The announcement came out today that the Oregon State game will be at 4:00 PM (on 10/13), televised on Versus. Of course many will complain that Versus blew the last game they had, and I guess that’s fair enough. May I humbly suggest that the TV coverage will be much better this time. Give ’em a second chance.
Also, I promised a podcast and some follow up Oregon posts by Sunday night that you may have noticed never got posted. Unfortunately I was just exhausted after the trip home yesterday from Eugene and I had to get up early this morning so I opted for a good night sleep over buring the midnight oil.
I was able to review half of the game from the TV coverage last night before I crashed and I’ll review the second half tonight after a function at Church, so you can expect that post tonight. I recorded the podcast when I was in Eugene, it’s just a question now of editing in all of the player interviews I had, including Longshore’s thoughts on how his ankle is feeling. I can’t promise that tonight because I also owe an analysis article to Rivals by tonight. I’ll try to get the podcast done tonight as well, but if not, I promise it’ll get posted tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Finally, you can expect a trip-recap post about my trip up there later in the week with a number of pictures, perhaps as late as over the weekend.

“Speaking of point spreads and stuff, congrats to Ken Crawford over at Excuse Me For My Voice. Mr. Crawford not only correctly picked the winner of the Cal/Oregon game, but the exact spread, and the exact scores.”

And that is why I follow your postings.
Kudos.

Ken,
Thanks for all the great stuff. Sorry I called you out on the “jinx” in the gameday thread, but it was a stressful moment in the game and I’m very superstitious.

Thanks RollOnYouBears. Of course it’s a guessing game and I don’t think the reason I nailed this one was anything but luck, but I like to believe that I have a good sense of the Pac-10 and the Bears so I can do a pretty good job of predicting a range in which to guess. It just so happened this time I got lucky and doubly lucky that I predicted it on a very high profile game.
Joshiemac, no worries, you did the right thing. That was a Jinx filled statement. I completely forgot that Oregon had all 3 timeouts. There had been so many comercial breaks and what felt like 3 or 4 timeouts taken that I had assumed Oregon was down at least one if not 2.
I will say this though: praying is never a jinx… and in that way I was pretty safe calling for a Rosary for holding on to the ball. đŸ™‚

This is actually their third chance for me…I tried watching the ending of Wisconsin-UNLV and thought they had adjusted the local feed for Berkeley stoners. SO many psychidelic colors were flashing.
Won’t make a difference since I’ll be at the game, but I feel for those Cal fans out there.
