The Beavers Rock. There is no other team I would rather support, through thick and thin, than them. Thanks for a great seasone thus far. Go get the warriors and then lets tear the sun bowl a new one!!! GO BEAVS!!!

Great game by both teams. That may have been the best football game I've seen in the last decade. On interesting note is that the Oregon radio announcers were in denial all the way home about how the Ducks really won, and how the Beavs were just lucky. 30-28 equals a win. I wanted to call in and say that Kent was actually out of bounds in the 3rd quarter and that the pass that was ruled incomplete on the field in the 4th quarter was actually a fumble that was returned for a touchdown. Way to go Beavs! Have fun in El Paso against Rutgers!!
