It was a very good week for the unranked teams;

Purdue beat #3 Michigan State
North Carolina beat #9 Wake Forest
TCU beat #12 Baylor
Arkansa beat #17 Mississippi State
Tennessee beat #18 Kentucky
Illinois beat #20 Minnesota
Boise State beat # 23 Fresno State


Question for my American friends

I was watching a bit of the Army vs Air Force game and noticed they both had a "reversed" American flag on their arm. (stars on the right side).

What is the significance of this?

thanks xtsho for the info

I've also noticed that the "Nike swoosh" on right arm of NFL uniforms is also backwards, so I was thinking these reversed logos/flags had something to do with American football.

It’s not backwards. It’s facing forward As you wear it. Like shoes. Backwards to one eye isn’t backwards to your own. Like veiwing thru mirror I guess. Same with the flag. It was adopted in 03-04 I believe. And only army air force and navy are the only allowed athletic programs to do that as well. Confusing. Yes.

The American flag, yes facing forward, I can understand the reasoning.

The Nike swoosh is backwards....not confusing and not facing forward just plain backward.

Once again you just love to criticize and contradict everything

He could be a bit under the weather after being smacked up by the Titans….

I didn’t expect my Browns to kill the Bengals but we did :)

Blues had an easy one over Indiana too. Loved seeing Purdue pull another upset.

You just have to laugh at idiots like the Washington Huskies coach.

"That is way more pumped up than it is," Lake said of a Washington-Oregon recruiting rivalry. "Our battles are really, the schools that we go against, have academic prowess, like the University of Washington, Notre Dame, Stanford, USC. We go toe to toe, all the way to the end, with those schools. So I think that's made up and pumped up in [the media's] world. In our world, we battle more academically prowess teams."

Maybe Oregon doesn't have the academic prowess that U of W has but Oregon's won 15 of the last 17 games including last Saturday at Husky stadium. Who the hell is that crappy coach with a crappy record to say anything? Screw him.

Looks like Washington has fired their offensive coordinator and there are loud calls for Lake to be fired as well due to his dismal coaching. He's a terrible coach and sets a very poor example for the players. The players deserve better than that worthless clown.

Washington football: It’s time to fire Jimmy Lake

Washington football's atrocious outing against the Oregon Ducks has ignited a conversation that must be on all of our minds: Fire Jimmy Lake.

Sparty fans are quieter today at work at least. I actually didn’t want to see them lose to Purdue though. Pretty much a turd in the punch bowl for State’s playoff hopes. Two of the kids I work with were getting ready to buy tickets to Miami for the Orange Bowl after last weekend. Oops.

Yeah, that’s a pretty dumb/sour grapes take by Coach Lake. Sounds like the kind of excuse Harbaugh would make. All of the Pac12 schools are more than decent academically. But, the only one that really can stand on the admissions standards hurting football recruiting argument is Stanford.

Tell those kids not to count their chickens before they hatch.

I wanted to see them lose and was glad when they did. I don't have anything against them but their loss benefited the Ducks. I do feel sorry for the players and fans but that's the way it goes. We've been living with letdowns like that for years here in Oregon. They'll get over it.

It was a rather poor statement to make. He was basically calling Oregon players academically inferior to his. Why insult the players like that?

Titans secondary is coming around. Didn’t think they’d win either since they lost King Henry. But they prevailed and bludgeoned the shit outta McVay and his man Staffy.
The pick 6 and other interception was hilarious. Talk about some wild events this Sunday…

People say dumb things when under pressure. He’s definitely fighting for his job at this point.

I wouldn’t let it bother you much @xtsho ; Washington hasn’t been very relevant for some time now. & when they were - many said their schedule was shit.

Oregon loves their football. A lot of money in that program, and the progression it has made over time is substantial. Definitely love seeing it unfold.

Speaking of dumb coaching moves, the Noles' coach made two bonehead moved down the stretch. He went for it on 4th down at midfield and they didn't make it. The Wolfpack scored on that short field drive. Next time we did punt. Then he turned down 8 yards on a holding call and they made a first down the next play. We might not have won anyway, but those two calls were both really, really bad.
