I'm sure there are a lot of fans in Seattle hoping for this to be the case.

He is not in Seattle..yet.

yeah, she was a cutie. She said her parents encouraged her to go some place far for school. Whats funny is I met her before the game out by the beer stands before the game watching one of the previous games on a big screen. She said her friends were'nt really much into football but she wanted to watch this other game and so she was all alone. Really pretty girl and there was a couple Bama guys just staring at her. I'm not shy so I went up and started a conversation and we talked for like 30 min. I could see the three bama guys just staring at her so I yelled for them to come over so I could ask them a question just so they had an excuse to talk with her . They practically ran over. After they got into conversation about going to school at Bama I excused myself and let the kids talk. I was really surprised when she turned out to have the seat next to ours (we should have been in the USC section but lost tickets) . So i switched seats with my friend and got to enjoy getting our asses kicked next to her.

Great story.

We need Oregon to play a whole lot better and help our SoS in future years so we don't come that close to being left out of the playoffs again.

As much as I hate to say this. I really want Oregon and UW to be really good in the same year. It's been a while since the UW/Oregon game got a lot of hype (2013 got some hype but mostly because UW was overrated).

I'm ok with UCLA continuing to suck.

This is very true.

I have to agree with @socaljim242 on this one. I was raised a Stanford fan in the home of a recovering catholic. I was taught to hate ND. Then, as I aged and saw how many of their fans had never even been to the school, but only rooted for them because they were a good team (in my youth), and affiliated with a particular religion, I started to form my own hatred for the team. These fans could have rooted for any catholic or even jesuit school (depending on their own particular faith) but they rooted for a team that had a history of winning. To me they were not t-shirt fans they were "collar" bandwagon fans. Add to this, their fan base's near insufferable air of superiority the hatred only grew.

I am older now, and seeing the constant whining and whinging by their "fans" about how they are just as academic as Stanford (BS!) has made my hatred of ND grow.

I will always relish in ND losing to Stanford (which is, historically, rare to be honest), and I would root ND even if them winning meant that I could fuck Salma Hayek (in her prime) while wearing Elle McPherson (in her prime) as a feedbag and fingering Morena Baccarin (circa Deadpool).

That said, I have to admit, I have found @nddulac pleasurable to interact with. Perhaps it is because we are in similar lines of work, and I used to sleep with a domer fan (if you have seen Chasing Amy think of the "back seat of a Volkswagen line) so there are 2 I have liked.

LOL. That was awesome. Anything with a Chasing Amy reference is great. I went to catholic school from first till 12th and I don't recall the grade but we had one nun who said we should pray for ND to win on Saturdays. I was a contrarian even back then and began to pray they would lose ( I was still Catholic so I figured I needed to pray to counteract the others).
I really enjoy reading anything nddulac has to contribute. He's a knowledgeable guy and I've been to South Bend to watch USC vrs ND about five times now so while I love to beat them, love when they are down. I also have some respect for the school and its football history.

Didn't Clarkston say that earlier this year and you guys castrated him.

It's clarkson. He was already castrated.

 

[RegentDenali]

Oregon State’s salary pool for assistant football coaches is $2.6 million. Reports are saying Oregon’s under Willie Taggart will be $4 million+.

Helfrich's assistants pool was close to 3.5 mil a year so that's a serious jump there. He hasn't announced any hires to his staff yet, but it's reported that he's headed to Hawaii this week on some recruiting work. Smart place to start and it's being mentioned he plans to say aloha to Tua Tagovailoa.

With Kiffen off to Houston who was Tagovailoa's main recruiter to Bama, well, I would say Taggart is going to work it hard this weekend to flip it. That wouldn't surprise me in the least. I was in Hawaii for the past two weeks and Tua is mentioned constantly in the sports news and many still scratch their heads he didn't commit to a west coast school in the PAC.

If Taggart pulls that flip off before LOI, it would trigger the biggest bandwagon re-jump in NCAA history. The Duck fans who threw all their gear in a trunk will be ripping the lock off it in record time and it will be a sea of green again around that state.

 

[Olyduck]

how you guys doing weather wise?
4 inches of snow in Olympia

 

[RegentDenali]

light snow starting falling about an hour ago here in Woodinville. They were calling 2-4 inches around this afternoon, guess it came a bit later, but's snowing for sure.

Meh, we have something like that but it's going to all melt before morning so it doesn't matter much.

Meh, Oregon didn't have much trouble getting in while UW was bad. Let them suck and let OSU, Stanford, and WSU rise up to bolster our SOS.

Damn. Was hoping I'd have an excuse to take some time off.

Agreed. Let um stink up the joint as much as possible. That's on them. Plenty of other programs with solid coaching staffs in the PAC to provide competition.
