In Colorado

Buffalo. It's what's for dinner.

Ten reasons why Oregon will beat Colorado Saturday afternoon.

1: Oregon is better in every category.

2: Seriously? You need nine more reasons?

It's no knock against the Buffs. They're a rebuilding team. I commend them and their new coach Mike MacIntyre for joining the ranks of the no-huddle teams and changing the way football is played. They're on their way to becoming better.

But they're not there yet. The three week layoff forced on them because of the devastating flood in the Boulder area messed them up. Colorado was not in sync as they got blown out by Oregon State 44-17 last week.

If Colorado's fans need another reason to attend this game (And they do.), it would be the halftime activity.

Former legendary coach and original Promise Keeper Bill McCartney will be honored for his legendariness and Promise Keeping. Coloradoans love him for his 12 years and 93-55-5 record as the Buffs head coach as well as his evangelical ministries.

So Buffalo fans will be able to harken back to fond memories from the previous century while the Ducks butcher their present team like so much livestock.

WHO ELSE WILL BE AT THE GAME?

Why yours truly. As I write this I am in Colorado visiting family and sharing my testimony with them and any other lost souls of the High Plains who need to hear the good news about the Ducks.

With the "smoke it if you got it" lax marijuana laws here, I am also excited to visit the Colorado campus and see what a LEGALLY stoned student body is like.

Game time Saturday, 3pm Pacific on the Pac-12 Network. Don't know if you get the Pac-12? Check your local listings; or if you are a Direct TV subscriber, call Direct TV and tell them they suck.

More later,
