DUCKS WIN! 42-21 1 2 368 yards

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

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!

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.

Would Cam Lewis have made that kick?

Annie, for me, that TD just before the half took my breath away. I knew then that we were going to have barbecued Beaver.

Game just went to half time tied 14-14. Washington State showed up ready to play. It looks like so far that the Dawgs are looking past this game towards next Friday. Penix is just playing so-so. A UW loss probably hurts us big time. But what do I know?

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.

Yesterday, I was surprised to hear our game announcers refer to our next game as the Civil War and they said it several times. I for one am OK with this game being now and forever the "Civil War". GO DUCKS!

No way

This is probably obvious to most here but it only struck me this morning. If the Beavs beat the Dawgs today, this hurts our our playoff chances. Then next Friday, the Beavs are not coming to Autzen to just roll over. They steamrolled us last year. Just the normal worries of a FANatic. GO DUCKS!

DUCKS Win in the desert 42-14 2 3 328 yards

I seemed to have missed the last touchdown?????

I know I am supposed to root for the Huskies but I just can't do it. It is not in my DNA.

Penn State vs Michigan is totally boring. I have a tough time thinking our DUCKS would have trouble with either of them.

Charles, you are on a roll today. I thought you reserved this level of venom for the Huskies only!

Troy Franklin is quite fortunate that I also attended Menlo Atherton High School although about a half a century prior to his attendance. I lost my mojo in the M-A locker room and he clearly found it. You can thank me at the Pac 12 Championship Game.

Ty Thompson did show up well on Saturday. As for his experience in one crazy way he is getting less game time this year than one would expect. Bo Nix is playing a great deal of time because he is being promoted for the Heisman. A Heisman would be quite an award for Dan Lanning, Bo and the University of Oregon therefore Bo IMHO is playing more than he has to as many of these games are put away early and consequently TT is not getting as much playing time if our QB were not in the running for the Heisman. Just my two bits.

I like our chances here. I think we are favored by 6 points +/-. Not sure the quality backup QB has seen a defense like ours. Utah has the home field and the altitude advantage but I am sure our DUCKS are superbly conditioned. I don't think this will be a nail biter. GO DUCKS!
