2008 Civil War Football Highlights (w/those U of O cheerleaders everyone seems to love) - This video was made by a Cal fan, who somewhat ironically may have lost the most in this game (if UCLA pulls the stunner). Warning to Beaver fans: do not watch this unless you are a masochist or your name is Evan “E-Dogg Skrilla Killa,” who made the lovely video of the massacre of 2008 between USC and Oregon. He deserves to have this video seared into his brain.

Highlights within the highlight reel:

- 2:22: JJ’s run during this play was only for about 14yds but shows a sick spin move and some nasty cuts. Too bad this guy really didnt get to develope as a full-time back.

- 2:52: D-Thomas, future stud (we hope), throws a bomb on a trick play.

- 3:08: JJ’s big TD run. He puts his stiffy in on #35 and basically punches the kid in the neck. “Are you kidding me? That’s Old Fashioned Football.” And another.

One thing I realize watching this is how fortunate Oregon was to have so many big plays. Truly incredible. To call it luck is to undermine how hard these kids and athletes in general work but watching the Ducks all season you may have known these plays were possible but it was about 1 or 2 a game. They just seemingly put it together on one day. I will say I overcame my hatred of calling a running play on 3rd and 15 a long, long time ago and I lost my faith in the defense being able to defend 3rd and long plays quite a while before that.

Oh, Cheerleaders of the week from Oregon (the media loves them):
