Last week, I came to terms with the fact that the bracket is unfair. We will have to play the best teams to get where we want to go.
Last week, I comforted myself with the knowledge that we have a better coach.
Last week, I laughed when Colin Cowherd said we have a bad defense and picked the Bucks.
Last week, I laughed at the memory that I once wanted Cam Ward to lead our team.
Now it's this week, and I am scared, uh, constipated.
I think we're the better team, but the ball bounces where it will.
We need this Natty, before they put guardrails on the NIL system and even the playing field. We all know they will. Right now we're a "have" on an uneven playing field. I know that you know that, and I don't care.
Because, I need this Natty. Before I die. It would wash away the mange piled on veteran OBD message boarders by Husky fans from days of yore. It would wash away the memories of Mario Cristobal running up the middle, and Willie Taggart running away like the dog he is. It would wash away the memories of TCU and the Alamo Bowl when we couldn't take a snap. It would wash away the memories of Dennis Dixon. Poor Dennis Dixon.
I have favorite teams in many other sports, and I WANT World Championships for those teams.
But, I NEED this Natty.

Maybe, but if I had followed this adage I would have missed out on two careers.

I pretty much echo this in its entirety.

To put a bow, I'm not saying the calls were all right. Just that the errors weren't because of "corruption." And, if some of you want to feel put-upon by announcers, I can't change your minds. At any rate, how does National Champion Oregon Ducks sound? I could die a happy man. And Charles knows how close I've come before.

"or it was the officials, or corruption with the officials."
Isn't that what this whole forum has been saying since Saturday? Are we any better? No, we're not. (We are, however, happier!)
Go Ducks!

...but I officiated all three major sports, two of them professionally. I did it all without favor or extra regard for either team, calling the balls and strikes as I saw them, and to the best of my ability. Later, as a broadcaster, I called the games and gave honest opinions. I didn't favor either team, because it was hard enough work just keeping track of who made the tackle, entered the game, and left the contest. Still later, a journalist. Honest, hard-working, rinse, repeat.
If I, a small-time schmuck, could do that, why is it hard to believe that the officials, announcers, et al. are as honest as they can be? Why must the narrative be they were as crooked as three dollar bills, out to get OBD at every turn?
Bad calls will happen, but they can happen due to a mistake, a bad angle, or a bang-bang play. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy.
Trust me, announcers care more about doing a good job and having a good show than some imagined grudge against OBD. Todd Blackledge has zero reason to be anti-OBD. Zero reason!
OBD are big-time, folks! Let's be big-time fans. After all, we're Oregon fans, and they don't come any better in all the land.
Probably a minority opinion, but I had to weigh in after reading since the game on Saturday.
Go Ducks!

"Having a beer at the oldest bar in Dublin (Ireland). Wearing an OSU hat and the bartender says he'll never forgive Ohio State for costing him 12k Euros when they lost to Oregon in '21. Ryan Day's tyranny knows no borders.
Ryan Day is a tranny? That's the kind of hard-hitting news I come to FishDuck to see!
(oh, did I read that wrong?)

OSU
31-20
3 t.o.
3 sacks
288 passing yards
(I'm never confident about these kinds of games the night before. I might feel different in the morning. LET'S HIT SOMEBODY!)

OBD has been better than Washington over the decades. *Check* Better than them over the lifespan of recruits *Check*. But we haven't been better three times in a row, and that must end, or it will have become a pattern, just like it used to be. A good way for us to be better is to be great.
But a better way for us to be better is for us to be great, for them to be average, and for that reality to be burned into the eyeballs of every good recruit and every top transfer portal player in the land! I root for the Huskies to lose to everyone, everywhere, and that includes that little team in Corvallis from that hand-me-down conference.

You know this very topic gives me hives. Here's how it goes: "If Washington is really good we will look EVEN BETTER when we beat them." Then they scratch out a fluke win against our injured quarterback. Or they injure him themselves!
And they get a bunch of national acclaim, and we spend a cold night in Shreveport. I'm having none of it! The Huskies MUST LOSE at every possible turn against every possible team. They must threaten to be worse than their 0-12 team and end up in the Big Sky. That is my wet dream!

What? Is The BIG scheduling games to realize the biggest profit, without regard to the in-person experience or the viewer who wants to go to bed early? When has that ever happened before? To @DrHilarius, I wish I was within a two-hour drive of you. I would take those tickets off your hands so fast and yell myself hoarse at the game.
Go Ducks!

I wondered if someone here would think I really didn't know the name of that Canvas Story Told in Gray and Beige, I probably had more good, clean fun picking on WAZZU as anyone we played.

...or whatever they call that place up there.
I can't decide what to think about the teams in the Pac??? Finally, I decided to root for San Jose State because it will wreck Husky Honk to think they lost to a team that loses to the Spartans.
Great game, though.

I want to see the newly engaged Mr Gabriel look calm and composed in the pocket and more like the QB I thought we were getting when we signed him. Also, running lanes.

Tell you what. I'm usually Mr. I Don't Know if We're Good in these little contests, and maybe that is holding us down. I'm trying something new:
Oregon 37-3
3 turns
4 sacks
311 passing yards.
Time to go Powder River on some smelly Beavers.

I would say we look like the 13th-ranked team in the nation. I hope we aren't the second-ranked team in the state a week from now.

If the doctor said I should go to the hospital during this game I would have gone straight to the morgue. Good grief, fellas! Take some pride in your work.

As I look back and remember how I was feeling (estatic) when WT had a top 5 recruiting class in hand before bolting for FSU.
And how I felt (disappointed and distraught) as that Top 5 class unraveled as MC did his best to salvage it.
A part of me wants to feel sorry for the pitiful huskies but i just can't bring myself to it.
The happiness i feel as I watch the fan meltdown is only exceeded by the happiness i feel that DL stayed!
Often it is the simple things in life that bring us joy snd happiness....
I am the same except no part of me wants to feel sorry for the pitiful Huskies and I want to kick them in their whiny Jerk faces. Other than that, what you said.

You know how to find me, friend. Maybe I will find some people in Mayberry who want a planned giving workshop and will pay your expenses to come. That is once I find Mayberry. Always our best, Fishy.
Well, That Sucks. Post-Game Discussion...

I wasn't going to be surprised by "beaten," or "defeated."
But "embarrassed". I didn't see that coming.
