Smart money is likely on Oregon this season. Stanford has been the worst offense in the conference. Reallllly poor offense, and atrocious red zone failures for The Tree. Ducks beat them I think, now that they are finally mostly healthy on the offensive line. Stanford is coming off of a drubbing of Oregon State yesterday ...the Beavers had been playing good D most of the year, but yesterday-an utter collapse in all facets of the game.

I would not be surprised to see Oregon trounce Stanford, actually. This year's Stanford squad has just been...anemic on offense...not the Andrew Luck-led Stanford people got used to for a bit.

I think Oregon beats Stanford and eventually wins the Pac 12 North division, and the conference title as well.

I agree, Ducks prevail.

What's up Marija?

eating lunch

what about you Gary?

Not yet, haven't had breakfast yet. I just got up and I'm barely on my second sip of coffee.

But I'm always interested in food. What do you have in mind?

L, I think you would like today's lunch

roasted broccoli, corn, onion, purple cabbage, carrot, paprika with soya sauce and cheese, zucchini and kuskus

mmmmmmhhhh good ... Toss in some eggs and it could be my breakfast omelette.

nope... no eggs with my veggies! don't like eggs.

I would give you a disagree right here if you weren't one of the LB

OK, for tomorrow's LB brunch, a buffet: a variety of fruits; roasted veggies; eggs (chicken, quail and duck); apple smoked bacon; sage sausage; scrapple; country ham; fine cheeses; quiche to order, omelets; fresh trout and salmon; cinnamon rolls; artisan breads and bagels; roasted chicken; pasta and garden salads; and the best cakes and pastries from Scandinavia and North America. Beverages will include juices, coffee, tea, champagne, light wines, and gløgg.

LOL ... hey I have a bottle of gløgg ... is it any good. What does it pair with?

Drink enough of it and it will go with anything!

Claret, spices, raisins, almonds, maybe a little aqauvit. I've had it at the Scandinavian Christmas (Saint Lucy's) Festival with tea cookies, though I'm sure it was the non-alcoholic version,

[snowbear99]

Yep, trying to keep my eyes open long enough to catch up. Ended up skipping 5-6 pages; I'll go back to read them in a bit, if I'm still awake.
I did have to teach Sunday School this morning; then I came home and took a nap. A very long nap. REALLY wanted to go out stalking birds this afternoon but I just have no energy whatsoever; don't think I could hold the camera!

 

[snowbear99]

Sorry, have a nice nap.

Here's what I got from what I did read:

1. Happy Birthday, Charlie's wife!! My baby boy's bday is Tuesday.

2. Starling, definitely. Starlings, along with house sparrows, are labeled as predatory species, and as such, it is not considered illegal to kill them.
Back in the 60s, there were so many starlings in TN that people could get paid (like a penny each) for killing them. There were times a flock of starlings would make the sky completely black.
The largest flock I've seen in years might have had a thousand or two.

3. No scrapple here. Just chitlins.
I don't like either of them.
Also have pickled pig's feet and pig brains for sale occasionally. Blecch.

4. Charlie, I really like the way you painted Mish's thing.

 

[sm4him]

Sorry, have a nice nap.

Oh, I already had the nap. Well, the first one anyway.
A second may be in order soon.

 

[sm4him]

The game. Oh my, that game.
Well, we had a great time tailgating. Ate and played cornhole, mostly.

That was the longest first quarter of football I've ever witnessed in my life. I thought I was going to require medical attention before that first 15 minutes was finally over. I mean, 20-0 and there were still 9 minutes left in the 1st quarter!! At that point, I was just prayed Bama didn't hit double digits!

Then we let them have another easy score early in the 2nd, so it was 27-0 before we seemed to even start playing.

But I gotta say: after that horrendous start, we played some ball for the next 2.5 quarters. Outscored them 20-7 from that point on and played some pretty decent football.

Played our no-longer-redshirted QB Dobbs for the first time this year, and he made all the difference! He made some mistakes, but nothing you wouldn't expect of a young, inexperienced QB getting thrown into his first action of the season against a team like Bama.

IF we could play like we did for the last 2.5 quarters the rest of the year, we'd win our remaining four games and go bowling.

At least it wasn't as bad as Maryland. At around $50 Million to leave the ACC and join the Big Ten, that was an expensive touchdown.
