10 wins

What an amazing game. Perfect end to the season. 10 wins. That evokes memories of the Fiesta Bowl year. Sure, the 2000 team was better but they were steamrolling people at the end. This year's team had a bunch of close games that they had to nut up and make some plays to win. When you're in the final four of the Pontiac play of the year voting, you made some plays.

This season felt almost more euphoric than the Fiesta Bowl year. In fact, 2006 was about as good of a year as you could have if you are a Beaver fan. We won the baseball NCAA national championship. We went to the world series in softball. The gymnastics team hosted the national championships and actually made it to nationals. The women's hoops team made the WNIT. Pretty good year. Oh, and the Ducks fell back to the earth and crash landed on football this year :).

10 wins baby!

Game Day: It's time for the Sun Bowl!

Game day!

I'm going to watch the Beavs in HD for the first time ever. Are you ready for the game?

Everybody seems pretty confident that the Beavs will win today. ESPN, the local papers, and almost everyone outside of Missouri. As long as the Beavs don't listen to those people, we should be alright.

On paper, the Tigers look tough. They only allow 172 ypg through the air and have 12 ints. Their offense is really good too. 415 ypg is nothing to slouch at. They are definitely explosive on offense.

Luckily there are a few things going the Beavers way. The allow almost 140 yards rushing. They don't have a ton of sacks. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and 4 of 6 in the last half of the season. Plus, they have two key players ineligible and have had the flu running through bowl practice.

The Beavs have been very business-like during the last half of the season and have a great attitude going into this game. Plus, they have a major goal to still accomplish - win 10 games.

This bodes well for the Beavs. My prediction is the Beavs win 34-21.

Go Beavs!
