ASU, KSU, and CU -- The Ugly, The Bad, and the Just Plain Terrible.

Give ASU credit for switching to the offense of the future. But it'll take time and new players to make it work. Against Oregon, they saw what they one day hope to be. Thanks to pics from the AZ Republic, we can review the ASU football game just by looking at the crowd:

Before game....

... 8-7...

... 22-7 ...

... 36-7 ...

...43-7...

But here's my favorite. These two pics show the tiny amount of satisfaction at least one ASU fan got from the game...

See the ASU fan in the hat, upper center-left with his
hand in a throwing motion. Duck fan #5 lower right.
Between them is what looks like a brown cup-- I'm
guessing at least a 20-ouncer.
"Hey Greenie, you think you Ducks are fast?..."

"Well DUCK THAT! Harrr Harrr Har...."
Oh I remember the days when we Duck fans used to
get doused with beverages -- and we were LOSING!
Today? It's all good. Be a good Duck and let it roll off the back....
...or front, as it were.  

Sure, Oregon scored 43 points in the first half and rushed for over 400 yards over in a cruise past ASU in Tempe.

But obviously, crushing their toughest opponent yet on the road isn't good enough. Once again uncontrollable forces like scheduling and polls move Oregon farther away from the National Championship despite their undefeated record. The Ducks woke up today to discover that Kansas State leapfrogged them to take the third spot in the BCS.

Why? K. State has more wins over quality opponents. Plain and simple -- or is it? Oregon was forced to schedule weak opponent Tennessee Tech this year because SOMEBODY pulled out of a home-and-home series with them two years ago. Who? I'll let Jason McIntyre of BigLeadSports explain it:

Why is Kansas State in such a great spot? The greatness of Heisman leader Collin Klein and brilliant 73-year-old coach Bill Snyder, obviously. But also because of something that happened in 2010: The Wildcats decided to cancel a home-and-home series with Oregon. KSU was going to visit the Ducks in 2011, then host Chip Kelly’s powerhouse in 2012. So what happened? Here’s what the Register-Guard wrote in September:

By 2010, Bill Snyder was looking ahead to his second season after returning to Kansas State; with a reputation for avoiding powerhouse nonconference opponents, Snyder and the Wildcats soon backed out of their game at Oregon.

Wise move, Snyder. Are the Wildcats unbeaten today if they had to play Oregon instead of Missouri State or North Texas? Probably not. DEFINITELY NOT!

Snyder, you wrinkled old slug slimed, goat sucking, puppy kicking, chemical-toilet seat licking, dung beetle of a SON OF A BITCH!!! I hope you're enjoying this time of being ranked over Oregon. Enjoy every second of it. Because a RECKONING IS COMING. Soon, you will RUE THE DAY you chickened out of your appointed butt kicking at the hands of the Ducks.

Like David Byrne once said, "Watch out. You might get what you're after." You want a date in the Natty, Snyder? We'll wish that right along with you, you room temperature sheep cheese DIP!!  Let's hope for both Florida and Alabama to lose. Then Oregon will cash in on the rain check for that date you skipped.

STOP THE WORLD. THOMAS TYNER IS TWEETING!!!!
Amazing Aloha high school running back Thomas Tyner sent aftershocks through Eugene last week when he tweeted he wanted to de-commit to Oregon and look at other schools.

In response, we all got in our fetal positions on the floor, rocked back and forth and focused on images of puppies and kittens. . . . You all did that too, didn't you?

The very next day, after talking to Chip Kelly and running backs coach Gary Campbell, Tyner changed his mind and announced he is "100% certain" he will officially sign with the Ducks in February.

Whew. That's great news, kid. Now could you just do us one favor between now and February?

STOP IT!!  Stop tweeting your mood swings. Stop opening your mouth just to watch ESPN go bonkers. Stop messing around. Stick to tweets like "Happy Birthday to my girlfriend." or "Wow that Spanish test was hard." or "I forgot my locker combination again LOL."

Let's get real for a minute. As of right now, you are NOT a Duck. While the real grown-up Ducks are seriously trying to do something big here, you still need to finish high school. You need to focus on getting a 'B' or better in Math and English. You still need to keep out of trouble. You haven't even taken your SAT's yet, haven't you?

You're not a star. Not yet at least. As of right now, you are just a distraction. You want to sign with the Ducks? Fine.  You want to shop around? Great. Do it. Just keep it to yourself for four more months.

HELLO, COACH KELLY? THIS IS COACH JON EMBREE AT COLORADO....YA, I'M DOING GREAT. SAY LISTEN, WOULD IT BE OK IF WE JUST MAIL IN THE LOSS AND SAVE OURSELVES THE TRIP?
Oh if only they could. Coach Kelly has to dig a little deeper in explaining to the team that this is Oregon's Super Bowl of the week.

How bad is Colorado? They let a mediocre USC hang 50 points on them last week. . . . No, my tongue is not in my cheek. I'm completely serious.

The one important thing about playing Colorado is that more than any of Oregon's previous opponents, they best resemble USC's offense. An interesting article in the Oregonian shed light on a coincidence in Oregon's schedule. All the teams Oregon has played to this point have been in the process of playing more like Oregon -- spread option, little or no huddle.

From here on out starting with the Buffaloes (or is it Buffalo?), Oregon will be facing primarily traditional pro sets. So this will be a good scrimmage before the following week's game at USC.

THE MOST UNDERRATED ASSISTANT COACH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
I think he would make an excellent head coach anywhere, including Oregon. Of whom do I speak, you ask? John Canzano wrote about him here.

Colorado game time Saturday, 12 noon on the Pac 12 network. The first half should last about 90 minutes, after which you should enjoy the rest of your Saturday with family and friends, maybe touring the country side and enjoying the fall colors, or preparing the kids Halloween costumes.

I quoted him. So I better play him. CRANK IT!

ASU Football Team Fully Functional

Right you are, Admiral Ackbar. Oregon's trip to ASU is the trappiest of trap games on the schedule. The Devils represent an away game against a team Oregon has beaten seven consecutive times. They're not USC. The Ducks have annihilated all their previous foes thus far. What could go wrong?

Everything.

If ever Coach Kelly needs to bang on his "Our next game is a Super Bowl" mantra, it's now.

Besides Arizona, ASU is the other Pac-12 team that has dedicated itself to begin playing like Oregon, training like Oregon, and winning like Oregon. Their new coach Todd Graham has it figured out in that he began conditioning his team to a faster pace on day one in the Spring, and not the week before they play the Ducks.

Read the bulk of this Arizona Repubic article: ASU Football Counts on Fitness vs. Oregon Ducks. Tell me if anything rings a bell.

....But there is one really big difference between the Sun Devils under Todd Graham and the past several teams under Dennis Erickson, including his 2011 team that started 6-2 and then imploded.

They're in shape.

Yeah, it seems pretty basic. But although Graham publicly hasn't said much about it, privately members of his staff were taken aback by the physical condition in which they found the Sun Devils when they took over the program.

Tired players make mental mistakes and commit stupid penalties. And they're apt to quit when a game or a season turns bad. Does that sound familiar?

We all saw just how bad it had gotten when linebacker Vontaze Burfict showed up at the NFL combine in terrible condition and embarrassed himself so badly that he went undrafted.

To his credit, Burfict got back to work and made the Cincinnati Bengals roster as a free agent.

And to the credit of Arizona State's players, they have bought what Graham is selling. And selling. And selling.

"Look at this," linebacker Brandon Magee instructed. "When it comes to the second half and the fourth quarter, we're dominating. We're in better shape than we've ever been.

"The fourth quarter starts, and I feel great. I'm not even tired at the end of games. So we just keep giving the ball to our offense, and with their tempo the other team wears down."
Sound familiar?

It's true. The Sun Devils have outscored opponents 98-30 in the second half this season and 64-7 in the fourth quarter.

Of course, that isn't apt to happen against the never-blink Ducks. This is the first real measuring stick for the Sun Devils and their pedal-to-the-metal approach.

"Oh, it's huge," Magee said. "They want the same thing in the third and fourth quarter that we want. But I think we're going to be fine. It's going to be a lot of fun."

It will be more fun if the Sun Devils can rise, as Graham said they must, to "a different level" against an Oregon team that will test their conditioning and resolve.

"You could play 65 snaps against these guys in a half," Graham said. "It's a huge, huge challenge Thursday."

When Graham took over and popped in tapes of last year's team, he knew he had a different challenge.

"Oh, no doubt," he said. "We knew we had to get in a lot better shape, and (strength and conditioning coach) Shawn Griswold is the very best at doing that.

"But I'm telling you we're not even close to where we need to be. We can't run the tempo we want to run. But we were pretty fast last game, and there's only been about five plays on defense all year where guys were saying "Coach, I'm about to fall over.' So that's pretty amazing."

Maybe more amazing, the Sun Devils are seeing in opponents what their opponents used to see in them.

"It was huge in the Illinois game," senior tackle Brice Schwab said. "You could look over and see their defensive line was dying. Same with the Cal game. If you look at the whole season, the second half has been ours. We kick it into gear."

"To be honest, we were just an all-around undisciplined team. We're in a whole lot better shape this year. We wouldn't even condition during a bye week before. We were doing a lot of conditioning during our bye week this season."

Senior Andrew Sampson, who starts at guard alongside Schwab, has seen it, too.

"I think the focus that came in with Coach Gris and his staff really turned things around," he said. "Their mind-set changed our mind-set. You can't take any plays off. Not in games. Not in practice. Not even in warmups or training. Never.

"It's the advantage of our no-huddle offense. It wears them down. It's nice when they're dead, and you're not dead, and you can see it."

The first sign, Magee said, usually is silence.

"They're talking so much smack at the beginning of the game and then in the third, fourth quarter I'm like, 'Are you guys still there or what?' Are you still playing?' " Magee said, smiling. "It's kind of funny."
Oregon players say stuff like this all the time.

A fast, deep, well-conditioned Oregon team isn't going to break like some of ASU's earlier opponents did. Yet the Sun Devils are still eager to test their left-lane, hammer-down approach against the Quack Attack.

"We're not doing anything different against Oregon," Sampson said. "It's the same way we do things against everybody. It's not like we're going to try to go faster than usual. We're always trying to go faster, so it's going to be a high-tempo game. And we're ready for it."

And then there's the defense
Forget Arizona, Coach Graham has installed the new Desert Swarm at ASU. As explained in this excerpt from today's article in the Oregonian:  
The Sun Devils' defense will test all that [Mariota] the redshirt freshman quarterback has learned to date with an eclectic array of schemes and blitzes.

"That's probably the best defense we'll have faced all year," Mariota said.

And they will be coming for young Mariota, who turns 19 on Oct. 30.

"They bring everybody from everywhere," offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich said. "I think they've brought literally every player at some point."

How is Mariotta and Co. to handle the Devils' aggresive defense? I have the answer in two magical words:

SHOVEL PASS.

That's right. Anytime they blitz from the edges as the article says they are often wanton to do, just shovel it to DAT up the middle and "Whoop! There it is.".

And just to remember that you heard it from me first, let's make the rule that whatever beverage you're sipping through the game Thursday night, you have to chug the whole container whenever Oregon pitches the shovel.

Breaking News:
Aloha's Thomas Tyner decommits from Oregon Ducks

Oregonian Sports, October 16, 2012 10:11 p.m.
Record-setting Aloha running back Thomas Tyner has decommitted from Oregon to take other recruiting visits, the website Duck Territory reported Tuesday night.

After the news was reported, Tyner posted a message on his Twitter account: “How do I know where I'm truly happy if I haven't put myself out there yet? Still love my ducks. Gotta do what I gotta do.”

Tyner made national headlines this season when he ran for 643 yards and 10 touchdowns in a win over Lakeridge. In seven games, he has rushed for 2,328 yards, averaging 12.7 yards per carry for the Warriors (7-0).

Tyner is rated as the No. 4 senior running back in the nation by Scout.com and No. 6 by Rivals.com. He orally committed to Oregon in November.

Aloha coach Chris Casey said Tuesday night that he wasn’t aware of Tyner decommitting from Oregon, but that schools have continued to pursue him, as well as Aloha senior lineman Brayden Kearsley, who committed to Brigham Young in Sept. 2011.

“He and Brayden have stayed open to those schools, so people are going to stay on them,” Casey said.

OK. Let's all just take a breath. Nobody panic. Chip Kelly can't talk about recruits; but what would he say? He would say that every recruit should explore all his options before making a final decision. That is how DeAnthony Thomas changed his mind about USC and came to Oregon.

Tyner is doing the prudent thing. He's not saying 'no' to the Ducks. He's just making sure all his avenues have been explored -- the sign of a smart man.

But I swear, if he decides to go to Washington, USC, Oregon State or any SEC team, . . . well as Master YoDuck would say:



Have fat angry kittens I will.


Gametime at ASU, Thursday Oct. 18th, 6pm Pacific on ESPN.

Dawgs and Saban -- A Week of Goons and Clowns

Knowing the Ducks were flat out better, the Huskies tried to
  rip Oregon's helmets off so they would have to sit out for a play.

Washington gave Oregon their best shot, but only after the Ducks scored three touchdowns. And then that shot was cheap.

Like the Don James teams of old, the Huskies resorted to gooniness to make some kind of "tough" statement. Face masks, illegal blocks and head spearing accounted for much of their 102 yards  in penalties. Freshman linebacker Travis Feeney earned the "Goon Ball" for the game when he pulled Marcus Mariota out of bounds and threw him into the benches on the Husky sidelines. 

As he was making his way back onto the field, the normally calm and cool Mariota turned around and offered the Dawgs his newly reassessed opinion of them.

He said afterward:

"They had a couple of guys that were kind of standing over me," Mariota said of the incident that occurred after a run for no gain with Oregon leading 35-7. "I'm never the kind of guy that if you disrespect me or if you disrespect my teammates, I'm not going to just let that kind of go. There's situations where you can keep your head and there's situations where you're going to say something. And I felt that at that point in time, they were getting a little chippy. I felt I needed to say something. That's usually not in my character."

What can we say, Marcus? We could've told you that the Huskies have a way of pricking at your dark side.  But like all of us Duck players and fans before, you just have to discover it for yourself.


This Husky tackles a big armload of air
as DAT sprints 16 yards to a first quarter TD.

Mariota and the rest of the team did infinitely better than so many Oregon teams of an earlier generation of rising above the Dawg's sh*t and playing good football. Talk to them at their sideline?

Amazing. 240-pound Colt Lyerla skies for this TD catch.

 No. Talk to them from their endzone.

The Ducks couldn't have picked a better opponent to play their most complete game yet. Even columnist John Canzano, who earlier complained that the Ducks can't play a complete half or a play well on both sides of the ball, now complains that the Ducks are boring as they steamroll over their opponents. Ain't no pleasin' some people.

Same song, second verse:
"Price throws to the side and INTERCEPTED, INTERCEPTED.
Avery Patterson has intercepted . . . . And Avery Patterson
is gonna SCORE! Avery Patterson is gonna SCORE!
20...10...TOUCHDOWN, AVERY PATTERSON!!!!"

Jerry Brewer of the Seattle Times began his article, Ducks Serve Up More Humiliation, like this:

The little girl, dressed in Oregon colors, held up a sign and scowled.

It read: "I wasn't born the last time UW beat Oregon."

Yes, it has gotten that bad. Daddy's little girl is now the Dawgs' little devil.

The Ducks don't just refer to their youth by age anymore. They introduce them according to how many Husky beatdowns they've experienced.

All children age 8 and under born with a silver swoosh in their mouths don't remember when this was a competitive rivalry, let alone that the Huskies used to dominate the matchup. Every year, you keep waiting for the momentum to shift, and every year, Oregon grinds a foot into Washington's throat.

 As Whintey Houston sang, "I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way."

I encourage everyone to sit down with their kids this week and remind them of the "Dark Days of the Purple Haze" when children hid, mothers trembled, and fathers cried. TEACH THEM WELL about how far we've come to provide them a Husky-free Northwest. Let them not take for granted their freedom from Dawg goonery and purple-shirted oppression.

Shhh, Shhh. Quiet everybody. Nick Saban has some wonderful words of wisdom he wants to share with us!!!

What the hell is the "Amazin' Saban" flappin' his yap about this time? He said last week:
"The way people are going no-huddle right now, that at some point in time we should look at how fast we allow the game to go in terms of player safety. The team gets into formation and you can't substitute defensive players. You go on a 14-, 16-, 18-play drive and they're snapping the ball as fast as you can go, and you look out there and all your players are walking around and can't get lined up, and that's when guys have a much greater chance of getting hurt when they're not ready to play."

Nick Saban, you're so wise and
all-knowing, you should wear a
big pointy hat and live in Italy.

This election year is a bad time for the Alabama coach to tell us of his "concern for player safety" that a no-huddle offense OBVIOUSLY threatens. We the people on both sides of the political fence have all gotten our fill of disengenous, alterior-motived speeches and sound bites lately that we can smell his BS a mile away.

I was panning Canzano earlier for never talking too nice about the Ducks. But in this linked story, Nick Saban's transparent attack on the Oregon Ducks is laughable, he shows that the Ducks are his meat. And he doesn't let anyone like Saban get away with talking this crap. Excellent read.

Currently 'Bama is ranked #1, Oregon is #2. Let those numbers stand. You know the whole nation wants this matchup to see if Saban's warning rings true and speed really kills. Or will it merely humiliate, which is what Saban is REALLY worried about.

No Duck game this Saturday. Ducks down in Tempe Thursday after next.

You still got that Whitney Houston song in your head, don't you? Sorry about that. Maybe this will help:

Can't you smell Husky Hate? No really, can't you?

They're coming. Like stink bugs riding a spring wind. The Washington Huskies are coming to Autzen. And with them they will bring legions of obnoxious fans in their purple travel trailers.

Starting today, they'll be driving down I-5.  Just stick your nose in the air, you can smell them. Putrid. Fresh vomit on a stale urine stain. Maggots on road kill in the hot sun. 

"It's the smell. I feel saturated by it. I can taste they're stink.
And everytime I do I somehow feel I've been infected by it.
It's repulsive."--Agent Smith on the Huskies, OK actually it was
on humans in general. But probably specifically the Huskies.

Oregon has beaten the Dawgs eight consecutive times. But unfortunately it doesn't keep them away. Once a year, we walk out on our lawns and find their steaming fresh feces packed into the grooves of our Nikes. And our noses don't lie. They're back for more.

To make matters worse they beat a ranked Stanford team and you could hear their barking all the way down here. They acted like they were back in the hunt for the Rose Bowl.

That win gave them a #23 ranking. And a ranked dawg is just that. Rank. They're barking so loud now. Just read these Dawg Pound blog comments from Husky fans:

Something that is quite impressive about Oregon is how they are willing and able to rotate so many guys. Brock Huard noted in the Oregon/WSU game that 22-24 guys get regular snaps on defense for Oregon (and obviously more in blowout games); that not only keeps the players fresh, it helps ensure that when key players graduate, the guys left behind aren’t lacking in experience and are better prepared to take their place. They are also better prepared to withstand injuries.

OK that wasn't so bad. But look at these others:  

This is another good D the Dawgs will face. The positive is that we have faced some good ones so far this year. SDSU was known for their disguised blitzes and looks, LSU had pro-quality players on the D, Stanford had one of the strongest lines in the PAC. Oregon provides an attacking defense that won’t be afraid to give up big plays. They know that the offense will be able to pick them up if they do. When you are not afraid of making a mistake, you become very dangerous. With the patchwork O-Line and Price not looking as good as last year, this is a tough matchup.


but i think you VASTLY underrate oregons secondary. ifo and t-mitch i.m.h.o. are the 2 best corners in the pack, and will both be playing on sundays when their careers at oregon are over. I dont think washington has much of an edge (if any) in that category

Well, I guess eight years of losing is a long time to keep up their end of a one sided rivalry. You think about it, that's two full generations of freshmen-to-senior students having never seen a Husky victory over Oregon. And all indications are tomorrow could be the worst loss for them yet.

A more candid than usual Aaron Fentress of the Oregonian said in his article Forget Washington's defense, what's up with the offense:

But none of that [improved defense] will matter if UW can't move the football. Teams with bad offenses only fuel Oregon's engine by giving the Ducks the ball a few extra times and in better field position. That raises the degree of difficulty for the defense and leads to fatigue followed by 21-straight points by Oregon and the ballgame is over.

The storyline Saturday is not Washington's defense versus Oregon's offense. Instead, it's whether or not a poor UW offense can find any success against a dominant Oregon defense.

So the game itself doesn't lend much to "Hate Husky" week. Even the Huskies know they're in for their ninth consecutive beating. All they can fight for is that it won't be their worst -- a nice thought for Duck fans.

Perhaps we can look at Washington's coaching personnel to return the rival bile taste into our mouths. We do have traitors in our midst in Peter Sirmon and Justin Wilcox -- former excellent Ducks who are now heading up Washington's defense.

Here is a scathing article from the Ken Goe -- Ex-Duck Justin Wilcox a difference maker for the Washington Defense. . . . . OK, actually it's a rather nice story about his great time at Oregon and successful career as an assistant coach all over the country, plus how his name is on a list for Cal should Jeff Tedford not remain after this year.

But at least there is no love lost between Wilcox and the staff at Oregon . . .

Justin Wilcox: Fierce enemy or
fine young man?

Oregonian article: Oregon's Nick Aliotti remains close with 'younger brother' Justin Wilcox, his UW counterpart

Excerpt: "Nothing ever surprises me about Justin," UO defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti said.

Aliotti and Wilcox remain close. They talk weekly, and Wilcox said that Aliotti was one of his biggest influences in becoming a coach.

"He's like a younger brother, I guess," Aliotti said, adding: "I really care about that guy. I like that guy. Now, I don't like him this Saturday, and I haven't liked him much this week. But deep down, it's all about good people. ...

"I have a lot of respect and I care a lot about Justin and his career and him on and off the field."

(SIGH) C'mon people. Where's the hate? Can't we all just NOT get along?
Help me out, Agent Smith . . . .

"Honestly, I'm just hoping for a good
fair game where nobody gets hurt."

. . . . Life is tough for a Husky Hater these days.

Gametime Saturday 7:30 Pacific ESPN

Leach to Cougars: "You Complete Me"!?!?!?

Hey WSU,
This is crazy.
Ducks just scored again.
Losin' maybe?

"Of the games we played this year, this was our most complete game. I thought we played for 60 minutes," Leach said. "There were a lot of positives even though the results aren't what I would have liked." --WSU Coach Mike Leach

Wow coach. If that was a complete game for your team, then I hope for your sake your next one against OSU has one or two overtimes, because you've got plenty of room to be even completer.

Yes, the Cougars played fairly hard all the way through. But they did that thing the Ducks usually see in the second half. They had their hands on their hips, huffing and puffing hard. In the third quarter, Oregon's offense went back to basics and the linemen resolved to remove all crimson obstacles.  They returned to their quick pace between snaps that had bogged down in the second quarter.

The difference was Oregon did all this against a Coug defense that seemed to have a "Oh no, here they go again." kind of pall over them. It was obvious when Kenjon Barner busted one for 80 yards in the fourth quarter. Each of the defenders looked like they were hoping someone else would tackle him.

Mariota as a running threat just adds to a defense's problems.

Then I have to ask Coach Leach his definition of a "compete game" when his QB throws 60 times and only completes 55% plus one interception for a score. A team can throw 60 times and win a game. And a team can complete only 55% of their passes and win a game. But throwing 60 times and completing just over half means that your team is one-dimensional -- and not a very successful dimension at that.

The Cougars couldn't even produce a decent draw play. I mean, great passing team, coach. You've drawn up some of the best pass plays I've ever seen. But why make your own offense one dimensional when you have plenty of fine defenses in the Pac-12 to do that for you?

It's telling that the coach of the losing team with only 26 points says his team played "our most complete game" while the coach of the undefeated team scoring 51 points has yet to say any such thing. You want to talk about incompleteness? Oregon has yet to put together 60 minutes of satisfactory football this season, and they will be the first to admit it. .

But credit the Ducks defense for quashing the opponents' ability to do the same, especially in the red zone. A superb example was in the second quarter with the Ducks leading by only four, the Cougars were smacking their lips with a first-and-ten on Oregon's 17 yard line. Three sacks later, it was fourth and 38, and the Cougs had to punt.

Ducks take a Halliday,
as in Coug QB Connor Halliday.
Seven sacks total.

One theme that transcends through each game this season is the Ducks zen-like mantra of never panicking. It's a good lesson for us fans. Anytime we feel ourselves freaking out because a WSU or Fresno State is hanging around, we would be wise to watch the coaches and players. Are any of them shaking their heads, throwing up their hands, pointing at each other? I saw that all night from the Cougars' side. Is Coach Kelly going ballistic on anyone other than those crappy refs?

And on that topic, it's a general consensus among both Cougar and Duck fans that those refs were the exact same ones in the Seahawk/Packer game. Did nobody tell them to GO HOME ALREADY?


Looking at the schedule, next week's opponent is . . . . Wait, I don't need to look at the schedule.

I can smell the putrid stench.

More later,
