I'm a life long Oregonian and a HUGE Duck fan..... and I'm bummed about tonight's loss as a fan but richer as a gambler. The under 61 was an absolute gift. There was no way that game would be close to that. I think last year was around 30 when these two played. Similarly, the Stan +10 was a gift. I couldn't believe that line. I guess everyone was dazzled by ORE beating up a bunch of lame teams.

Of course, I'm realistic and wouldn't have been surprised if it went high scoring and ORE covered. It just seemed way more likely the go the way it did.

I guess congratulations are in order for all the FSU fans. I hope Bama wins out and we have an FSU/ALA championship because Ohio State is not that good IMO.

And in the end... the sports curse over the state or Oregon continues. No Michael Jordan, no NBA championship despite two trips to the finals in the mid 90s, no Kevin Durant (instead a bumped up Greg Oden) and now no national championship. Life goes on..... I'm getting drunk.
