Watch Oregon Ducks vs USC Trojans Online & In Portland | Food & Drink Specials

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME COLLEGE FOOTBALL?

This is another big week for the Oregon Ducks as they take on the #18 USC Trojans in Eugene this Saturday. The Ducks moved up to #4 in the BCS this week after their decisive victory in Palo Alto against an over-ranked and over-matched Stanford Cardinal team.

The 8-2 Trojans have moved up to $18 (money sign is not a typo) in the polls and could easily be 10-0 if the refs would have made a couple different calls in the Stanford game and they hadn’t played Arizona State so early in the year while they still seemed like a decent team (seriously, losing to Washington State?!).

If you’ve been watching the Ducks this season, you know that De'Anthony Thomas is possibly their most explosive player when not fumbling (he’s a freshman & will correct that soon enough), but he apparently was almost a USC Trojan.

Teenage breakers put in a headspin by the exquisite frequencies of the Belville boy wonders (May, Atkins & Saunderson), post-disco kids too young to club but poised to catch Acid’s cusp, the formative years of Plaid brothers Ed Handley and Andy Turner stick closely to the script of anyone involved in UK’s electronica’s evolution.

But as those two-thirds responsible for the seminal signals and sovereign electronics of Black Dog with ex-partner Ken Downie as well as fashioning Plaid, Ed and Andy’s audio-couture has always tailored techno to a cutting edge design. With their softly spoken demeanour, quietly focused air and youthful appearance, it’s easy to forget the influence they’ve exerted, though their easy company and gentle banter reinforces the sense of indelible history.
