The crowd has filled up, but not overly hostile for now.

Just saw Paopao taking some practice shots, a great smile on her face. The camera showed a lot of empty seats. Arizona was calling for 12,000, looks more like 1200.

Washington was a dominant team in football, back when Microwaves started showing up in home kitchens.

Jon, I'm not telling you anything you don't know here. Having all of the SEC W teams start in the top 25 is just how the narrative has been constructed, It's great to start this way, and the best thing is all the games work out to either be a quality win, or a good loss, keeping them all highly ranked.

You know, it could be asked why we spend so much time on a team that Oregon's beaten 15 of the last 17 times? The answer is, It's fun!!. Watching and reading the Husky Honks, as we just saw, rationalizing their epic fail of a recruiting class is more than amusing. Washington's apex in football was 30 to 50 years ago.

It's hard, but credit must be given to Washington for the Groucho Mask's, and that they then won the game.

When I saw that, I could only think about Secretariat

This is how the championships are won now.

The 3 that Williams made from beyond halfcourt was epic, but this one by Young was potentially season saving. It was looking like another game in Boulder as the first half was ending, with the Ducks behind. But Young's shot put the Ducks ahead. It was the 10th lead change in the 1st half, there wouldn't be any lead changes in the second half. It was a great win to be sure. But, because Colorado is mediocre, it doesn't mean a lot itself. Without the inexplicable loss to the Buffs, the Ducks are in 3rd place by themselves, safely in the Bracket, and on a 9 game winning streak. As it is, they're still on the bubble.

This is going to be a big test for our Lady Ducks. Instead of things calming down they've picked up in hostility. Getting through the early minutes is going to be even more important.

If ever a game was a must win, this one was. The Huskies have gone on a winning streak after being decimated by the Ducks. With their win at Cal last night, if Oregon had lost to Colorado, Washington would have leapt in front of the Ducks in the standings at 7-3. Fortunately, the Ducks join the Huskies in 4th place.

Can you say, 11 point lead, 54-43.

I've watched my share of races and I've always wondered, is Coxswain a role aspired to, or does it fall to the member of the team that can't handle the rigors of rowing?

Oh my, thank you Washington for being a fountain of happiness!

Jordon Scott was a try for Oregon as a Mountain in the Middle of the D Line But never materialized as that. As a freshman in 2017 he was 333 LBS, but as a senior, he was at 311.
