Big guys have a harder time to get back into the formation. Chip Kelly runs a very fast game (Nike Shoes smile) that wears on the opponents if not prepared. Stanford and OSU will be formitable.  I predict that they will be hard fought and won by a smaller margin than previous blowouts. 

Rove and Ginghrich are reevaluating their prior positions, admitting to mistakes, and repositioning themselves for future consultancies. evileye

What Conservative faction is going to assume the Republican name plate?

The Ducks ought to have to play at least two SEC teams, longprime.

Florida, Georgia, LSU, the Aggies... any of them would add a little body to that low-cal diet they've been on.

I know, right?

That's great coaching right there. Chip Kelly is clearly on to something. It'll probably take another three or four years for the rest of the teams to figure out how to deal with it effectively.

Same thing happens in football.

A game can go back and forth all afternoon. Neither team dominating, neither team totally inept. Both with some talent, both making some mistakes. While it is going on they look closely matched. The fans of both teams see a path for their team to win. Either team could win, right up to the last minute. And in the end, it all turns on one or two plays, possibly even a fluke play; One or two bounces of the ball.

Then after the game....

How brilliant the winning team was! How inept the losing team was! The winners did everything right. They're so talented. They're so smart. They're so skilled. The losers did everything wrong. They're so clueless.

The winners are super bowl contenders. The losers must "rebuild," go "back to the drawing board," develop a whole new strategty.

http://www.ldsmag.com/article/1/11757 (Open Letter, )

"The election is over-President Obama won, Mitt Romney lost. I accepted the decision of the majority of my fellow Americans, even though the better candidate lost, in my opinion. But, then the political carping began, particularly from some of the political "experts" in the Republican Party. ...

"But, what is really galling is the unfair criticism from some in the "Elephant Party" towards Mitt Romney. Ironically, the "Donkey Party" is treating Mitt Romney better, post-election, than the political party Romney represented. Most of the Democrats acknowledge Mitt Romney is a good family man (even if they strongly disagreed with his politics) and they respected the classy (sort of) concession speech he made on election night after it was clear that "it was not going to happen." 

"But, a number of Republicans can't give it a rest. Like a bad reality TV show (think, "Housewives of...whatever"), many of these "good" Republicans are verbalizing for us every soul-searching thought and feeling they have about the how the Republican Party needs to "reinvent" itself. To validate their hubris, they feel a need to continue to criticize the way Romney campaigned in the presidential election.  " [more]

Nicely written. I read that current company is accepting outcome, and we will make the necessary adjustments.  smile
