    All of the I-5 corridor is like that, Portland, Tacoma, Eugene, Salem, we're all basically helpless when it comes to being snowed or iced in.  Ice is of course worse since you can't do much about it, at least with snow you can get a little traction, ice is just the worse since you have to have major studs or chains, even then we only deal with it every 2-3 years, so not that many people have the experience to drive on it, and we have hilly areas in all the towns other than Salem, Seattle I imagine is the worst though.

    Remember, too, that Washington outlawed studded tires Quite a few years back, to protect their roads.

    It was quite entertaining having a few goofba... er, 'concerned citizens' by in a Seattle traffic jam, taking the time to loudly and profanely 'educate' this poor, benighted Oregonian on the subject.

    I drove there with my  son to seek housing for a job related move.

    He chose not to accept the position, after experiencing an unhealthy dose of fuskie hospitality.

    When you think of it...Washington fans did not have long to enjoy their glory.  They won the Pac-12 Championship, and waited a month with trepidation awaiting the Playoffs.  Then they beat Texas, and only had a week to enjoy that, yet were worried about their upcoming game as well.  Then they lost, and things have spiraled downward since....

     

    That is a very short time to enjoy the glory.  Now they have seven months of dread knowing what awaits them in 2024...

     

    KJR Radio Host "Softy" said that, "It's like having a weekend with a million dollar hooker and then going back to your fat ugly wife"

    It's more like trying to schedule that weekend, and getting credit Card declined and shredded... And the hooker's collection enforcers show up at the house prior to your arrival home, explain the situation to said wife, concluding by offering her a position with the organization, starting NOW.

    This is an interesting point.  Our loyalty to the Ducks and Lanning's loyalty to the Ducks are likely two different things.  Maybe Lanning's loyalty is more commitment.

     

    I think the following can all be true at the same time:

    1. Alabama reached out and showed interest in hiring DL to replace Saban as their next head coach.

    2. Oregon proactively sweetened the pot and did everything they could to entice DL to stay at Oregon.

    3. DL was already committed to stay at Oregon and finish the work he, his staff, and his players have started.

    4. DL may develop a loyalty to Oregon over time that will keep him in Eugene for as long as Oregon will have him.

     

    #3 is the very rare and commendable part of this sequence - a coach keeping his word to the program and his players.  What a tremendous example that is to young men in the program and across the country!  It should be applauded and frankly, I hope it catches on.

    I believe Lanning is sharp enough to realize that if he minds his P's and Q's. he is already set for life, by any reasonable metric.

     

    Why move to a bigger pressure cooker, when opportunity and potential are already in your lap?
