Like the author David Miller I’ve come to care nothing for the annual mutt show. Kenny Wheaton will forever be a hero for stealing the bone, but it’s no longer entertaining to watch the old dawgs bark and chase as if they could catch the Ducks.

David, I would be happy with OSU only, then scramble the rest. No reason to give the dawgs any special attention.

…opportunity! Is that the word you were thinking of Charles? At number 3, ahead of Ohio State at 4, both teams win out, and we end up at 2 & 3 sandwiched between Alabama and Georgia. I like the idea of beating OSU three times in one season!

This makes sense if the teams don’t lose this week. It will be a big game for both teams, while Utah can only be a spoiler.

Looks like Altman has reloaded well!

I feel bad for the Cal players, and hope they all recover well and quickly.

Sent an email with the subject line of “Award Worthy?” to Mr Fleet. Do you think he was a Seinfeld fan? Thanks for heads up Haywarduck.

No better way to hear the live game call than by listening to Jerry and Jorgy on the goducks app. https://goducks.com/sports/2017/9/27/oregon-gameday-app.aspx

Dear Mario Cristobal, I love you for beating the Huskies again, and for your recruiting prowess. Now, can you please academically game plan to beat the Cougs? And keep recruiting? Thank you!

Is Lake apologizing for his prowess in being a model UW Husky?

My guess is that the refs decided Alex intentionally blocked the opposing player to the ground.

Another take on the mistake by the lake: Between losses, bad jokes and a investigation, Jimmy Lake is feeling the heat from Husky fans https://news.yahoo.com/between-losses-bad-jokes-investigation-175024943.html?soc_src=community&soc_trk=ma

Agree there is pressure on Coach C, but only to keep up with recruiting calls while game planning to go 1 - 0 this week. Isn’t the real pressure on the players who are more likely to read the social media hype? Hopefully the media keeps doubting, as it seems to motivate them.

Sure, hit and push your kids, players, employees to demonstrate how to keep emotions in check.

This may turn out to be correct. Gotta love Duck football!

Great analysis of a complicated subject @David Marsh. When a game result doesn’t make sense, can we chalk it up to the comfort of playing at home?

Anybody buying tickets tonight?

Another game, 1 - 0. Dye is a stud. Defense played okay. Next!

Defense is going to be needed until the change in field direction at the half.

Three scores up is also considered a safe margin for winning within four minutes. I don’t recall Coach C saying anything about being 1 - 0 with style.

Still too frosty from his whining about the impossibility of recruiting at Oregon to support his team. Who in their right mind would rather live in NEBRASKA?

I loved that my MIL was a passionate supporter of her teams. She introduced herself to me at a party at her home in Kirkland WA by letting me know that she met her husband while they were attending UW, and that her Seahawks, Sonics, Mariners, and Huskies were superior to all other teams, especially those from my home state of Oregon. Oh, and that I wasn’t good enough for her daughter. Fast forward to a Fall afternoon watching football at my home in Oregon City when the 9th ranked Huskies were preparing to score to beat the Ducks. Her matter of fact statement that it was all over for the Ducks left me resigned to another evening of smug statements of how her WA teams always dominated my OR teams. And that I still wasn’t good enough for her daughter. Then Kenny Wheaton. In-laws soon moved to a retirement community in Las Vegas and lost interest in sports. And after 32 years of marriage, I might be okay for her daughter.

No question that Coach C wants to win the battle in the trenches in every game. That said, doesn’t it seem that there is a different game plan for every game based on strengths and weaknesses of both teams? He has said his only objective is to go 1 - 0 every game, day, practice, rep, action. Don’t we believe him?

Ducks, 13 - 3, 2, 4, 123

“Apples don’t rot far from the tree” has to be one of the best descriptions of the Husky football program history of cheating.
