  1. I can remember a time when a much younger version of myself wished that Oregon and Oregon State would merge their respective athletic and educational disciplines, forming a much broader scope of opporunity within one institutional administration.

     

    In my youthful naivety, I believed that it would be possible to meld the teams, salvaging the best of each, and that the resultant talent pool would be superior to what either could bring to the table, alone, and thus be significantly more competitive.

     

    Foolish dream scenario, and one that would have deprived a large number of talented student athletes an opportunity to chase their own dreams.

     

    I honestly hope both can wade through the current sludge and emerge with a clear, workable future.

     

    That said... GO DUCKS!!!

  2. The little sister... ! Er, brothers of the poor, have no more control over the future of the PAC12, uh, 10, 9... whatever than Wazzu, Cal or a couple other faceless residents of this once Conference of Champions.

    Hopefully there is some stroke of genius in the wings to light the path ahead.

     

    Are you afraid of the dark?

     

    Oddly enough, I'm, not...yet!

  3. "3)  This seems like a tipping point year in the UW - UO rivalry. If we win strong this year, as we should have a good chance to do, our recruiting should continue to pick up alongside continued excellent coaching (hopefully). This may be our time to get the upper hand in the rivalry! We have great coaching, a great city, strong NIL, and an excellent team. I wouldn't be surprised in ten years for us to jump ahead of UO, or at least achieve parody starting last year. Kind of finishing the work that coach Pete started"

     

    Seems apropo...

  4. Hope it was a great day of celebration for OBDF, everywhere! 

     

    We shared a potluck (mostly Korean  cuisine) dinner with a group in Basin, Montana, followed by fireworks in Boulder.

     

    The bbq Chinook salmon and Swedish meatballs were the only items I'd ever experienced before that, but it was all awesome.

     

    Quite a change from the normal routine at home in true Duck Country!

     

    Can't wait to get home.

    They really believe that, and the comments below reflect a purple confidence in flipping our verbals after they commit!  All this hubris because of one poorly called play and our QB got hurt....(Let it go Charles)

     

    Imagine if Bo had not been hurt, we win the game--what the mental aftermath would be for the sillies in Seattle?  Regardless--they will howl, no matter what!

    In about 1970, I had a PE instructor / wrestling coach who liked to show off his athletic skills.

    Ralph was about 6'2/300 pounds, and tried that move on the tramp, with catastrophically similar results.

    His thighs went through two sets of springs, and the resulting traumatic bruising took weeks to heal.

     

    Some unsympathetic types laughed for at least that long.
