Oregon Beats Down U of W(TF?)

I never thought I'd see myself saying this, but I think Oregon owes Washington a debt of gratitude for it's performance in the game Saturday night.
   While the Ducks ended up with a total dominant score of 53-16, the Huskies pushed them around a little in the first half as if to say, "Are you really ready to be #1?".  Washington brought it. Oregon got slapped awake.
   Washington even reached into their Don James old school bag of tricks and brought their own refs. They certainly gave Oregon something to talk about at halftime. Then the Ducks got to work.
   But after the game, Washington players were sincere and cordial in their handshakes and congrats to the Duck players.  It made me wonder, could this mark the end of hostilities between the two schools?  Perhaps the two teams have evolved to a point where they can just simply have a mutual respect for each other.  Perhaps the name calling and cheap shots are finally in the past.
   In fact I'm going to call it right here, right now. I declare an end to the hated rivalry between Oregon and Washing- . . . . . . . . .

WE INTERRUPT THIS STORY TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN:

Washington A.D. is an A. Hole, 
Dawgs are still the Huckin' Fuskies!
Before the game on Saturday, Washington Athletic Director and star of  "Scoreboard Baby II, The Next Generation", Scott Woodward, was sitting down with a Seattle radio station in Eugene. When asked what he thought of Oregon's facilities, he could've said the kind, vanilla stuff that any politically smart business executive should say.
   But no. He started barkin' like a typical outrageously obnoxious Huckin' Fusky.  Following is a link to a transcrpt and the podcast. You can be like me and read the text and say, "No, surely he didn't say that," then listen to the podcast. http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/washington_ad_audio_oregon_is_embarrassment/3566557

I guess what I've always said still applies: "The only way to shut up Barking Dawgs is to beat 'em."

Monday afternoon, Woodward issued the following apology from this blog in The Seattle Times:
"I apologize if my comments were found as critical or insulting to fans and alumni of the University of Oregon, and I hope to offer some clarity about my true feelings on the situation. I have a great respect for the University of Oregon both as an institution and an athletic program. As a life-long advocate for public funding in higher education, I have seen firsthand the effects of public funding on many institutions, including the University of Washington. My remarks were intended as a commentary on the powerful impact that a state can have on an institution's academic standing. The University of Oregon is a great example of the struggles which can accompany a university when state funding decreases, but UO is certainly not the only institution suffering."

In that case, Woodward, I apologize for calling you an A. Hole, and I hope to offer some clarity about my true feelings on the situation.

YOU'RE A STUPID ARROGANT JACKASS.

You called Oregon's acacemic institution an embarrassment; but velvet gloved your insult by blaming Oregon's "struggles" on state funding.
   Listen, you two-faced son of Neuhoser, all state colleges everywhere suffer from lack of state funding. Where have you been?  It's nothing new.  The Oregon higher ed schools have NEVER had adequate state funding. But for you to suggest that the University of Oregon's academics have struggled to a point of embarrassment means that you really don't know what the hell you're talking about.
   Had you just walked up Pre's trail and through the campus, you would've seen the construction cranes adding to the Science Center as well as a new Student Center.  The donors we should be kneeling before for adding to the athletic facilities? They and many others have all contributed hugely on the academic side as well.
  Autzen was upgraded? The main library was upgraded. New indoor practice facility? New law center.  New basketball arena?  New science center. New baseball stadium?  New computer and business centers.  Improved running track?  Improved Journalism school.  I could go on and on.
   Furthermore, while you're doing the old school whine about state funding, Oregon's president, Richard Lariviere, is challenging Oregonians to INVEST in higher ed by asking the legislature to sell bonds. It's an idea never before tried that people are warming up to. And if it works, and then Washington tries it, who will you have to thank for the idea, you STUPID ARROGANT JACKASS?
   Finally, what really galls me is that at Washington, you have SO MANY problems of your own, how do you possibly find the time to criticize anyone else? You talk about doing things "the Washington way"?  The book "Scoreboard Baby" is the Washington way.  Clean up your own Dawg Sh*t Pile before you start sniveling elsewhere, you STUPID ARROGANT JACKASS.

Now where was I?  Oh ya, back to the game . . . .

While LaMichael James left Huskies in the dust . . . . .





 . . .Washington's AD, Scott Woodward is a Stupid Arrogant Jackass.



Although Oregon's QB Darron Thomas outran Huskies for a TD . . . .



. . . Washington's AD Scott Woodward is still a Stupid Arrogant Jackass.

Just when I was starting to like the Huskies, thank you, Scott Woodward for waking me up.

I HATE THE HUSKIES!!!
