#4 USC goes to #10 Oregon on Halloween

It's a battle for Pac-10 supremacy when USC travels north to Autzen Stadium to take on Oregon.

The fourth-ranked Trojans look to stay in the hunt for an eighth consecutive league title and shore up some defensive breakdowns when they visit the 10th-ranked Ducks and their prolific offense. Riding a six-game winning streak, the Ducks, off to their best conference start since opening the 2000 season with seven straight league wins, stand alone atop the Pac-10.

USC holds a 37-16-2 advantage in the all-time series. These two teams have split the last 12 meetings, but the Trojans have won four of the last five, including a lopsided 44-10 decision last year.

My prediction: Oregon 31, USC 28

No. 12 Ducks toy with Washington in 43-19 victory

That's how rivals.com describes it.

What a way to dismiss all the pundits' predictions! They expected the Ducks would fall to Huskies, would not get its 6th win in a row. Booo!! Huskies are no where near where the Ducks are - the elite two programs in Pac-10.

Best of all, the entire Oregon team won this game, not just Jeremiah Masoli and not just the offense team. The special team blocked a punt for a touchdown and used a fake field goal to set up another TD. The defense corralled Washington quarterback Jake Locker, forced three turnovers and kept the Huskies out of the end zone until the fourth quarter.

And, of course Masoli. He completed 14 of 22 throws for 157 yards and a touchdown. He also added TD runs of 1 and 3 yards as part of his 54 yards rushing.

LaMichael James, Oregon’s workhorse since LeGarrette Blount’s suspension, rushed for 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 56-yard TD sprint in the fourth quarter to cap this Oregon party. And some says LaMichael James is the best running back in college football this season. Well, at least the best freshman running back!

Watch highlights from the game.



Next: The showdown - USC Trojans at Oregon Ducks on Halloween night. Go Ducks!

#12 Oregon Ducks vs Washington Huskies

Oregon is back after a bye weekend and will face its north state rivalry in Huskies stadium. Remember, both Oregon and Washington have defeated Rose Bowl hopefuls this season - Washington defeated Southern California 16-13 and Oregon defeated then-no 6 California 42-3.

Ducks are now top of the league table and to play in Rose Bowl, this is a must win before facing up the Trojans on Halloween day. Pundits are expecting Washington upset but Ducks will sure kick Huskies' asses. Go Ducks!

Watch highlights from Oregon's 24-10 win over UCLA two weeks ago.

Low sugar, babe...

Semalam third session aku dengan instructor. The third and the last free session. Instructor aku dah sound dah, it will be the hardest part - weight training. Memang aku tak suka pun angkat weight, dah lamaaaaaaaaaa or memang aku tak pernah buat angkat-angkat besi ni. Tak macam sesetengah kawan aku, siap ada dumb bell kat rumah. Memang dumb! Ekekekeke...

Anyway, aku buat cardio exercise dulu lari kat treadmill dalam setengah jam. Then, aku gi lah berjumpa dengan instructor tu. Dia ambik bar bell tu, dia letak yang 5kg sebelah kanan, 5kg sebelah kiri je. Err... tak pun 2.5kg sebelah kanan, 2.5kg sebelah kiri??! Whatever lah yang aku tau, ringan gak aaa dan besi tu sekeping je sebelah kiri dan sekeping je sebelah kanan.

Then, dia suruh lah buat exercise untuk bahagian kaki, pass first set tapi macam nak tercabut gak aaa lutut dan betis aku. Buat second set lepas tu, dia kira "One" aku pandang muka dia. Dia sebut "Come on..." baru aku angkat bar bell tu. Ekekeke... dan begitu laaa payahnya aku nak habiskan dua set. Samalah jugak waktu buat part untuk bahagian dada.

Then, kena buat untuk arm pulak. Time ni, nak buat yang first set pun aku macam tengoookkk je muka aku kat cermin tu, rasa kesian pun ada. Rasa nak letak je bar bell tu kat lantai, pastu mandi pun ada. Tapi aku buat lah pelan-pelan. Sampai separuh first set tu, instructor aku surup stop, suruh letak ke lantai.

Dia gi ofis dia jap, dia bawakkan gula-gula untuk aku. (Soooo sweeeeeeeetttttt, kan? Macam kalau orang bagi lagu kat kita, haa sweet macam tu laa). Rupanya dia kata, bibir aku dah putih, kelopak dalam mata aku belah bawah pun dah petih. Tandanya kandungan gula dalam badan aku dah rendah sangat. Kalau aku sambung, boleh pengsan wo!

Dia kata waktu aku angkat weight tadi, dia tengok muka aku jadi putih dah. Pastu dia tanya aku, tak makan anything ke before work out? Laaa... aku cakap la last aku makan time lunch, tu pun makan pasembor je. Aku ingatkan tak boleh makan bila nak exercise kan? sebab nanti terbelahak ke apa ke kan? So, dia kata sambung hari ni je lah. Lepas tu baru aaa aku terasa macam nak pitam, macam melayang-layang je turun tangga tu pun. Macam baru lepas lari marathon.

So, makan dulu ye sebelum work out. Ok, bye aku nak makan, nak gi gym ni.

Twitter je laa...

Alasan-alasan:
1. Tok penghulu aka bapak ayam (aku tak maksudkan K.J.) pun dah pakai twitter.
2. Aku dah malas nak update blog.
3. Senang je, one liner. It doesn't take someone with A1 in English or BM in SPM to tweet.
4. ..... apa-apa je lah

Ok, kalau aku ada benda nak update, aku update lah. Kalau takde, korang tengok je lah kat twitter feed aku tu my whereabouts and whatabouts.

Bye!

Kembar Kecoh

Selepas berbulan-bulan Si Arfan dan Irfan shooting, dari pagi ke tengah malam, which aku sempat le tengok diorang shoot dalam satu scene, waktu tu dah dekat jam 1 pagi.

Tibalah masa to see them on tv screen.

Jangan ketinggalan, saksikan episod pertama Kembar Kecoh pada 18hb Oktober 2009, jam 9 malam di TV9!

5 years younger

Hari ni aku terasa muda.
Dan aku mentekedarah nasi lemak, pagi-pagi lagi.
Dan aku rasa happy.
Seperti mahu menari.
Hahahaha....

Al-kisah, semalam aku ke fitness club tu register, than jumpa personal trainer. Biasa lah bila kita register, kita dapat free personal consultation dengan trainers. Diorang akan ajar cara nak buat tegangan regangan, cara menggunakan mesin-mesin kat situ, apa senaman-senaman yang patut kita buat berpandukan matlamat kita. Sebelum semua tu, dia akan amik kita punya data on body composition.

Yang bestnya, yang membuatkan aku termotivated gila kan... ekekeke...
Results timbangan aku tu menunjukkan badan aku mempunyai metabolism age of 28. Perghhhh.... it is 5 years younger than my actual age! Ekekekekek...

Tapi bila difikir-fikirkan, at 28 years old dulu, aku langsung takde bersukan pun. Setakat berpeluh sebab berdiri tengah panas waktu jadi ajk dalam Kelab sukan dulu je. Dan aku rasa jumlah aku berexercise setahun lepas, lebih banyak dari total aku exercise dalam 10 tahun sebelum tu. Ha! Mungkin apa yang aku exercise setahun lepas tu cover balik kot metabolism age aku. Kalau lah aku tak exercise setahun lepas, mau metabolism age aku jadi 39 kot?

Yang lain-lain, hmmm.... body fitness aku 19.3%. Trainer aku cakap, 19% below is fit. So, ok lagi laaa takdelah aku tak fit gile kan? Cuma, bone mass aku je rendah. Antara sebab nya, aku tak angkat weight. Hmmm... memang dari dulu pun aku tak suka angkat weight. Waktu training basketball kat sekolah dulu, time kena masuk weight room je, aku ngelat. Aku main trampoline je. Ekekekeke... tapi time berlari je, aku lajuuuuu je.

Anyway, it was a good start. Instructor suruh aku buat 20 minit kat treadmill, 15 minit kat cross trainer dengan 5 minit kat side stepping machine tu. Semua aku lalui dengan kacang je. Dalam hati aku berdetik, "ini je ke yang trainer tu boleh push aku?" tapi tak nak aaa cakap sebab takut pulak ada dua sessions lagi dengan dia, dia kasi aku yang teruk-teruk pulak nanti.

Dan... perghhh.... aku exercise mata dan kening sekali semalam.....

Korang nak update?

Alaaaaaaa nothing interesting happened to me laaa lately. Anyway, since korang nak aku update selain daripada football update, ni aku nak cakap sikit...

Korang nak tau tak? Ini rahsia tau! Syyyy....
Last aku masuk gym, buat exercise was 5 Julai 2009. Aduuuhhh lama siot! Waktu tu kan aku tengah busy nak pindah rumah sewa kat JB ni, so aku pun tertakde mood dah nak turun ke gym kat apartment sewa aku tu. Then, came Ramadhan, tak sempat le nak exercise lepas terawih.

Then, 31 Ogos kan aku pindah rumah sewa. Sekarang ni aku menyewa kat taman, kat landed property. So, takde kemudahan gym. Kalau nak exercise, kena lari keliling taman. Tak pro exercise macam tu, aku rasa. Then, came raya. Perghhh.... apa barang exercise time bulan raya kan? Time bulan raya laaa time nak membatak.

Kesudahannya berat aku naik 3-4kg, now 61kg. Perghhhh berat siot!
Dan, hari ni aku start enrol kat fitness club dekat dengan office aku. Ada induction program dengan trainer. Jangan laaa dia suruh aku buat yang susah-susah. Kalau trainer tu macam best, aku ingat nak amik dia for 10 sessions ke tengok laa macam mana.

Biar badan aku jadi macam wide receiver atau cornerback american football ke lantak laaa.... janji tak B.B. ekekekek B.B. tu Bouncing Boobs. Wakakaka...

Ok, kena focus mind nak masuk gym ni. Bye!

#13 Oregon 24, UCLA 10

All done in 3 minutes and 54 seconds in the second half when Oregon Ducks scored its 21 points after trailing to UCLA Bruins 0-3 by end of first half.

Kenjon Barner returned the second-half kickoff for a 100-yard touchdown, and Talmadge Jackson returned an interception 32 yards for another score just 13 seconds later. After a fumble recovery, Jeff Maehl then took a short screen pass 20 yards through traffic for the Ducks’ third touchdown.

Oregon is now 5-1 overall and 3-0 in Pac-10 conference while UCLA drops to 3-2, losing both conference matches. Go Ducks!

#16 Oregon 52, Washington State 6

I watched (or read, rather) line-by-line play-by-play trough ESPN Gamecast. I could sense it was an lopsided game in favor of the Oregon Ducks. Even a friend in US who probably watch the game live on tv told me the game sucks! Oh well, even the then-No. 6 California looks so sucks when playing Oregon, what do you expect from Washington State?!

Anyway, I watched the game through the first half, seems like Ducks scored on every posession and the Ducks were leading 45-6 by half time. Then, I couldn't connect to the game anymore. The ESPN Gamecast even stopped feeding game commentaries. Maybe those ESPN staff on the East Coast got so bored and fell asleep.

Final score: #16 Oregon Ducks 52, Washington State Cougars 6
