Ducks are ranked # 24

In this weeks AP college football poll the Oregon Ducks are ranked number 24 in the nation. Unfortunates their next game is with the number 1 U$C Trojans. Go Ducks deflate the Trojans!

By the way, when is the NCAA going to ban the Trojans from tournament play. Isn't the name "Trojans" demeaning to people of Greek ancestry? Yes, I know Troy was in what is now Turkey. But it was a Greek city state. In any case why is it demeaning to have athletic teams named after American Indian tribes but my ancestors from Norway love the Minnesota Vikings. The NCAA is way out of line in their attempt to ban Indian team names.
