Quack 12

In the SEC? Aren't you torpedoing your own argument with that statement.

I was more than a little drunk when I posted that,, but yeah, I guess I was off put by the sort of "little guy" attitude. My apologies. I'll try to avoid posting in a stupor going forward. 😬

I mean no offense, but I'm sick and tired of this "little guy" Utah persona. It's bullshit. You're not WSU or OSU. You have a very strong Pacific Islander connection - mostly thanks to Mormon missionaries - which makes your OLs and DLs incredible. You're in the Pac-12 for a reason, because you're well-funded and well-positioned to compete. Utah should be competing at the highest level of this conference, and they are. Knock off the "We're doing more with less" crap. That's not who the Utes are.

Good question. I haven't seen anything about the injury since the season ended, but the fact that he's playing in the bowl game is a good sign. He tweeted something about "Running into bowl week. Who's ready?" last week. Presumably he's going to be close to 100%.

Just because I've had a lot of family at the house and little time to post, here are a few thoughts on the past month: 1) Kugrdon, I hope you're recovering. While I rarely have seen eye-to-eye with you, particularly with regard to politics, I've always respected your opinion. Be well, sir. 2) Congratulations to the Beavers (and Orange) for the win in the Platty. I could rant about terrible play calls and defensive collapse, You dominated on the ground, and ground Oregon to a pulp. I think you'll pummel Florida, just don't pass the ball - at all. 3) Fuck Washington. The Ducks coulda-shoulda-woulda, but to be honest, I don't know how in the hell we beat Utah between those two disastrous losses. Please lose to Texas so that if we can get past the Tarheels, we'll be ranked ahead of you. 4) College football is dead. Let's just admit it's an NFL farm league, and make the NFL pay its fair share to develop players. The free ride for the NFL should be done - forever. 5) Happy holidays to each of you, including HLB.

Do you realize that you quoted a quote?

I got a text message today from Donald Trump's "new" social media platform, probably because of my mostly red zip code. I won't name or link it here because I don't want to give it any publicity, but it asked me "Will you Join"? (text STOP to remove) To which I responded, "Fuck no! STOP." The kickback was "Thank you for your response." I'm genuinely worried about a potential Trump coup in '24, and as others have pointed out, his lackeys are positioning him for it. I apologize for bringing politics on to the sports forum with HLB, but that guy is a clear example of how Trump can return, People actually believe his bullshit. We're at the proverbial watershed moment, folks.

Agreed. I never felt that any reunion or alumni hire would be a good idea. If Oregon is going to play with the big boys, they can't be afraid of poaching; it will happen. I did read that Bellotti volunteered to coach the Alamo Bowl, which I think would have been fun as a one off.

I read some tweet saying the Dan Lanning era at UO was shorter than Mike Price at Alabama.

Ha! I noticed a couple of weeks ago that I had the same number of wins as Mugtang, but I was 10-15 points behind, so I decided to employ a more drastic strategy. Plus, I thought all of last week's games were tough to choose.

Good plan, Don. Do we really have to deal with this shit for three more years? BTW, this is from an email meant to look like a tweet, since he can't tweet anymore.

One of my favorites:

Up to eight!

Well, it is county fair season.

I really do feel for everyone who has to live through this shit but my week is lookin' pretty good.

One great comment on the flag-burning article:

To Don's credit, he did display how he spent his "stimmy" on Nikes manufactured by children who get paid 5 cents per day. 🤔

She sure as hell sounds intimidated.

Whelp, I forgot to play last week, so I'm toast.

Now it's sinking in.

I did the same thing. So "6" is most confident? Fu................ck.

Beat me to it. I've thrown $20 into my commuter three times since St. Patrick's Day. I saw some tropical storm Delta coverage last week from Texas and the gas station in the background showed $1.89. It's like 2.37 at the local casino mini-mart here.

Not predicting a landslide anymore?
