    I see Joel Klatt declaring that Washington is not a good matchup for Texas, because the Longhorns have the No. 96th ranked pass defense.  Hmmmm.

    This could be the downfall for Texas. They have a great defense against the run but UW does not run all that much. I think the purple wins this game.

  2. My idea of decadence is two Snake River Waygu rib steaks. A bit of Maldon Salt and then pan sear for two minutes a side and then into an oven set at 425 for 5-7 minutes depending on the thickness of the cut. Now to rest about 6 minutes under cover with a big pat of Tillamook Extra Creamy Butter. Serve with my made from scratch Caesar Salad including homemade croutons, rice pilaf and a nice bottle of Lavinea (Willamette Valley) Pinot Noir from the Elton Vineyard. This is coming up next week.

    This one is interesting.  He certainly has the size we need...his stats are gaudy but they're against division II competition so that needs to be taken with a grain of salt.  I couldn't find profiles of him on 247 or Rivals, I wonder what happened and why he didn't get into a Power 5 program out of high school?

    This can happen, Cam Ward had zero D-1 offers out of high school, in fact the only offer he had was Incarnate Word.

  4. I do not think Ty Thompson ever had much of a chance this year to show us what he might be capable of. It was pretty clear that the University, the Athletic Department and Dan Lanning were going to promote Bo Nix for the Heisman. "Not that there is anything wrong with that" but Bo played enormous minutes that might have gone to TT in a perfect world. Ty, I hope you find a great place to practice your skills!

  5. This is not a direct comparison obviously but Liberty beat New Mexico State to win their conference championship 49-35. In 2010 our DUCKS played New Mexico State and won 72-0. 

     

    Bo Nix is going to play but will we even have a backup QB on the roster if Dan Lanning announces a new QB from the portal? We could see both Ty Thomson and Austin Novosad transfer out. I do not like how this is playing out.

    You could have a comfortable 17 point lead for most of the game...and in three plays those bastards can turn the tables.  Their QB and receivers are that good...

     

    Late TD lifts Washington to wild win over Oregon

    Charles, I think Bo Nix, Troy Franklin and Tez Johnson  are equal to or better than those Huskies you mention.

  7. 56 hours to kick off. I will not place bets on my DUCKS but I think Dan Lanning and company beat the spread handily. Oregon has been playing the last few weeks like a well oiled, finely tuned Porsche. Speaking just for myself, it appears to me that the Huskies have been stumbling down the stretch and barely squeaked to victory in several games. Most of all, is Dan Lanning going to finish his second year with three losses to the Huskies? No Way! GO DUCKS!

  8. I made the mistake of going to uwdawgpound.com yesterday. One comment repeated perhaps a dozen times is that Bo Nix is just a game manager.What an insult!. We know that Bo has the green light to change the plays as he sees fit and he does that. The poor mentally unbalance Huskies are going to have a wake up call Friday evening.

  9. Tuesday, I was fly fishing in a drift boat chasing the wily steelhead on the Trinity River in far northern California.

     

    It was cold when we started at 30 degrees and I was wearing my green and yellow OREGON wool hat.

     

    We come around a corner and here is another drift boat and one guy has a purple and white wool cap with a big W.

     

    He sees my hat and immediately starts off with "Too bad about that 36-33 loss".

     

    Too bad you can't kick a field goal".

     

    "Penix and Rune are going to destroy you if there is another game but you won't get by the Beavers".

     

    On and on and he wasn't smiling, He meant all of it.

     

    He was not 25 years old, he was 65+.

     

    Unfortunately we passed each other two more times and it never stopped.

     

    All I did was point at my hat and throw him the O.

     

    Oh well, poor Husky needs therapy.
