I'll take Stanford in a squeaker, 35-31.

Clemson will keep riding the train and take it to Tech, who really do look like a wreck now that some extremely subpar defenses have found a way to stop the triple option (Virginia and Miami). I'll take the Tigers 42-14.

I think Baylor will put up a fight, too, but since both teams don't really like to play D, I'll stick with OK St., 55-42.

USC/Stanford an instant classic.

Surprised at my Buckeyes pulling it out, with a TD pass no less

Landry Jones not as impressive as the numbers but still a very strong win for Oklahoma

It was.

500 yards for Jones.

JMO, but Oklahoma's offensive philosophy seems reckless in that they could easily dominate many games focusing on the running game if they chose too, while avoiding some of the shootouts they eventually get locked into.

Again, JMO, but I think they'd be better served with an offensive philosophy more like LSU/Alabama's rather than Texas Tech's (formerly)

I read this board every week and literally the only thing you do is gargle USC's balls.

Who could be mad after I Hate Washington Day!

- Wake up, and instead of putting pants on, have a drink first. It's a holiday. You deserve it.

- Turn on the TV, flip through, see nothing but crappy Big Ten games, grumble about it, watch anyway.

- Start cooking the official breakfast of Happy I Hate Washington Day.

Eggs any style, topped with salsa verde.
Potatoes O'Brian, with green peppers only.
Coffee, but none of that Seattle crap!

- At 20 minutes after every hour, take a drink in honor of Kenny Wheaton, everybody's favorite #20.

- Take a moment to reflect on Michael Vick. If he were fighting huskies, would it really have been that bad? Would he have gone to jail? Fascinating...

- Watch Weasel Stomping Day. Cuz f*** Rick Neuheisel.

- Turn Weasel Stomping Day into a YouTube orgy of The Pick, JD Nelson hits, The Pick again, The Statue of Liberty, and The Pick again. Just for good measure, watch The Pick. SPOILER ALERT! Kenny Wheaton scores.

- Think about what Ty Willingham's doing right now. Giggle for 30 seconds. Then repeat.

- In case you didn't know, Rainn Wilson is a UW grad. So, go on YouTube and watch Jim Halpert playing pranks on Dwight Schrute.

- Print out a picture of Ryan Appleby. Punch it in the face.

- Take the next sixty seconds to do nothing but think about Dennis Dixon, and how awesome he is.

- Watch the end of the Washington-Arizona State game. God Nick Holt sucks...

- Grab a football, go outside, and throw it up in the air. Suck it Jack Locker, look what I can do!!! I'll allow 15 minutes for multiple throwings, and lots of giggling.

- Quack.

- Do you remember the Spirit of Husksgiving? Repeat it to yourselves a couple times, for good measure.

- Become Legendary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhY4J_uZOQE). This, kids, is what we call schadenfreude.

- If you have a dog, put him outside for a while. He knows he deserves it. If you have a dawg, what the hell is wrong with you? Shoot it in the head and set it on fire right now!

- Wherever you're watching the game, take a lap around the room. Anything purple, get rid of it. Set it on fire, throw it in the trash, whatever. Just get it out of the room. Check the kitchen too. If there is any purple food lurking around (eggplant, Husky jerky, grapes), toss it out. At the very least, bury it at the bottom of the freezer.

- Think for a second about how close Seattle is to Canada. They're barely Americans. Barely. Americans. Say it with me. U-S-A. U-S-A! U-S-A!!

U-S-A!
U-S-A!
U-S-A!!!

God, Washington's a mess...

- Watch The Pick again.

- Fire up the Surround Sound and blast Mighty Oregon as loud as you can.

- Go outside, and yell, "GOOOOOO!" at the top of your lungs. If you're lucky, someone will yell "DUUUUUUUCKS!" back. If they do, go take a drink in honor of the Juju boost you just received.

- It's time for a shot of something. Really, anything will do. It's the spirit of the act. But think about how many points you want the Ducks to score on their first drive. Then, take a shot of Seagram's 7, one Seagram for every point.

- Now is the time to choose your game seat. This is a very important decision Do you go chair, couch, recliner, computer chair so you don't have to get up to get beer? Don't be afraid to try a few out, you've got plenty of time.

- Get all of your game snacks together for convenient in-game eating.

- Grab your seat

- Say Todd Doxey Grace: Todd Doxey, thank you for this game. Let us demolish the Huskies like we know you would have. You'll always be in our hearts. Go Ducks.

-Get ready...

- Get set...

Gooooooooooo Ducks!!!
