QuACK!

Oregon heads to Salt Lake City to Face Utah

Nah, I was there and thought it was plenty loud, especially in the second half. Thanks for the in-person input.

I'm afraid you're right, Cockroach. There was a hope that Arizona would be so hyped that they'd burn out. Instead, they played with purpose, intensity and poise. The Lady Gucks were discombobulated. For a while the game was closer than it should have been, but Arizona was always in control.

It was 18-18., and it wasn't wire to wire, Oregon did lead, 9-6.

As the announcers told us, the Ducks were down 17 in the game at the MATT. That was a miraculous comeback, not expecting it this time.

Arizona's pressure D has taken Oregon off their game; TO's and missed shots.

Oregon down by 6 at halftime, -8 in points off turnovers. 14-6

So far McHale Center sounds like a library compared to the MATT for Sabrina, Satou and Ruthie's games.

30-24 Arizona at halftime. If Oregon can clean up the turnovers, they can win this.

9 turnovers for Oregon, 3 for Arizona, 6:56 in the 2nd quarter.

Arizona leads after the first quarter, 14-11.

A drive by Sabally gets the Ducks their first lead at 3:41in the 1st quarter, a free throw makes it 9-6 Oregon.

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.

Dan Lanning Interview

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
