Everything I hear confirms readiness but you never know. I think its pretty funny but the team has a chip on their shoulder. They feel slighted by the underdog status. I know firsthand that they are pretty sick of watching espn ticker and seeing that 80% are on OSU. Also, I mentioned in my thread that there is a real drive for the team to get the victory for their teammate who died this summer in a drowning accident.
Lastly for me this is important. This group of seniors are perhaps the best group of leaders that Oregon has had in many years. This team could have mailed it in several times this year but didn't, they've got heart. You know it when you see it and there have been a couple of years in recent memory when it wasn't there...
