I think I learned to waterski at a young age at a lake near Oakridge. All I can remember is they had a cement beach/swim area that burned the heck out of your feet.

They’re pretty much doing what we’re doing here. Sitting around trashing their rivals to make themselves feel good about their situation. And both of us are in great situations. One will just be a little greater after Saturday. However, the chance of these two teams playing again in Vegas is pretty good.

The quote button on Log Haulin’s post doesn’t work so, this is in response to the Husky shoe. Outlet stores are where companies send their merchandise that they can’t get rid of. You will never see a pair of Duck Nike’s in the bargain basement.

The Texas fan thinks Washington is otherworldly since his team got killed by them in the Alamo Bowl. The reality is Texas was very average last year.

I think this guy fits his staff’s culture a little better.

I would hope they stay with the current format. An FCS, a G5 and a P5 opponent. I would like to see them stick with the former PAC 12 (now Big 12) teams as the P5 opponent. As a coach, I wouldn’t want to cross the Rocky Mountains for non-conference games. I sure as heck wouldn’t take my team to Atlanta again for a preseason kickoff classic. They can come out to Vegas or LA.

First things first. Mario never lost to Washington as HC at Oregon. He actually won a lot of big games and put a Rose Bowl trophy in the case. With that said, he never put teams away in big games. The 2018 Stanford game and 2019 Auburn game were one bad snap away from being blowouts, but we let them hang around and beat us in the end. However, he has the uncanny ability to win games he has no business winning. The 2018 Washington and 2021 Ohio State games come to mind. I would bet a good amount of money that he knocks off a big rival like a Florida State or UNC this year. He knows how to feed the beast. Unfortunately his style cost him a game last night. I didn’t know until today, but Miami has had the final possession in all of their wins this season and have never kneeled. They have always ran a running play.

Every season that Mario screws up like this the Ducks beat Washington in that same season.

Then he says, “I should have stepped in . . . and said take a knee there.” This is why he can’t keep a coordinator for more than two seasons. They’re not getting poached. They’re constantly searching for other jobs because they’re tired of getting thrown under the bus.

I had to add this Tweet from the article Jon posted. One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes. It’s fitting because George was getting fired in this scene.

What is this “wrist” phenomenon? I don’t recall this fine young man doing this at Autzen Stadium.

Brock Ostweiler is the color commentator.

It’s one thing to keep running the ball when you should kneel. But giving up a 4 play, 74 yard drive in 24 seconds is borderline point shaving.

I have the ACC Network. Mark Richt was not kind in his analysis during the post game show.

Cam McCormick was like “Why is everyone so mad?”

BTW, Chaney Jr.’s elbow was down, but Mario gonna Mario.

I cannot believe Mario did it again! Sweet uniforms, though.

Arizona might just have LA’s number tonight.

There aren’t but two big dogs in the SEC right now.

The big dogs in the SEC still have championship level defenses. Bama vs. UGA will be a great SECCG. But, the score might be 5-3 in 2 OT’s.

The U is up 3-0 in the 3rd over Georgia Tech. Also, big day for Tre Benson at FSU. 200 yards rushing.

Surprise, surprise! Notre Dame’s offense is non-existent today.

There isn’t a fan base in D1 football that doesn’t melt down from time to time. The higher the expectations from fans, the bigger the melt downs. Just listen to the Paul Finebaum show and you’ll know what I’m talking about. A couple of years back I heard one caller tell Paul he had the paramedics show up and run him to the ER because he was having chest pains after Bama let Ole Miss jump out to a 21 point lead. Bama eventually came back but this dude got himself all worked up over a ball game. I guess it does mean more down there. I look at it this way. I made it through the 2015 Alamo Bowl, so I have built up quite an immunity mental strain caused by a football game.
