  1. What a wonderful turn of events from less than a week ago. When UW kicked off to Michigan they were on top of the football world. Who knew that Michigan taking that opening drive to the house would spell the beginning of the end. Poof, Cinderella’s carriage turn back into a pumpkin!

    Chas Man. I am also a Duck grad and fan living in Seattle. I 100% agree with your points. The unending supply of arrogance and - frankly, just willingness to just come straight up to anyone wearing a UO shirt and be rude - is bad enough in any year. Imagine how insufferable they will be if they win it Monday? Cannot abide that. I respect the UW team, but....GO BLUE!

    Yeah, I was exhorted to “Bow down to Washington” in the office this week. And we are supposed to find some level of elevation in their success?

     

    Not I!

     

    GO BLUE!

  3. U of O grad living in Seattle…

     

    Even after losing 12 in a row to Oregon, Husky fans projected an air of superiority and ridiculed the fake “O stands for Zero NC’s” program built by Nike $.

     

    My two favorite teams will ALWAYS be OBD’s and whoever is playing “M”.

  4. Texas ranked 116 against the pass this year. One would expect Penix would have put up Bo Nix like numbers.

     

    While some would diminish Michigan’s  #1 ranked defense and #2 against the pass statistics “because they didn’t play a passing attack like Penix and company” you would have to agree the windows will be tighter and the task more difficult than vs Texas’ porous secondary. 
     

    Also noteworthy:

     

    The top rated passing defense Penix faced this year was Oregon at number 54. The rest of the teams all ranked around 100 or worse, with Stanford topping the crappy list at 133. 
     

    Judging by the stats, Penix has not faced a good pass defense all year. That will change Monday night.

    Mike, great take. UW played a more difficult schedule than Michigan. Michigan's B1G wins, and yes there were opt outs, came against bowl favorites and bowl losers, Ohio State and Penn State.

     

    UW's best wins. Twice, sigh, over Oregon bowl winner Oregon and a win onthe road vs. No. 14 Arizona that defeated No. 12 Oklahoma and a road win at a NR SC that just pasted the No. 15 team in the land.

     

    The Pac-12 conference in 2023 then was deeper than the ACC, B1G, B12 and even the SEC. I thought this would play out last night. And I think it will play out in Houston.

    UW also should have lost to a horrible ASU team at home, but for a travesty no call on an obvious game ending pass interference call, and miraculously escaped a simarly anemic WSU team at home. They are not invincible by any means and could be embarrassed by a much more physical Michigan squad. Just sayin.

  6. I just saw the U.W. won the Moore award for the best O-Line in the country. How did this happen? I don’t recall them having stellar recruiting classes. How good is that coaching staff Debour has assembled, and why aren’t they being pilfered like our staff is every year?

     

    Thankfully we get them at Autzen next year!

     

    Go Ducks

  8. In 2021 Dan Lanning’s Georgia defense gave up 41 points to Alabama (their first meeting of the season). When they met again for the national championship, with all the marbles on the table, Dan Lanning’s Georgia Defense gave up only 18 points in a 33 to 18 thumping.

     

    I expect a similar performance from DL’s crew this Friday.

     

    Go Ducks!

    I understand how some here wish to equate the Beavers being overpaid the same as Oregon compared to the LA schools. To me, that is a diversion for talking points, but does not address the serious issue taking place…

     

    The PAC-2 are dead set on stealing 400 million from 10 schools, and nobody is calling this theft for what it is. Nobody in the media is addressing the true value of OSU and WSU.

     

    A discussion of what the LA schools wanted—is simply a pivot away from current reality, and feeds right into the Canzano strategy of distracting you, and making you feel sorry for the PAC-2 without looking at how they are trying to flat-out steal Oregon’s rightful share that was earned.

     

    I hope the PAC-12 attorneys stay on point, and do not be so easily diverted.

    Agreed. When people don’t like or agree with the simple interpretation of the facts (2 schools trying to steal $400 million that doesn’t belong to them) they resort to emotionally driven smokescreens and unrelated rationale.


    To quote one who speaks more rationally, “Stay on point and do not be so easily diverted.”

     

    And, a quote from my favorite shrink: 

     

    “Reality is your friend” Dr Henry Cloud
