So I saw him on ESPN's OTL on Friday talking about the Blount situation.  I live on the East Coast and am not familiar with him and his history/body of work so please excuse my ignornace.  But what the f*#k is his problem?  Did he apply to Oregon out of high school and get rejected?  Did UO steal away his one true love?  Did the Duck mascot kick his dog?  Seriously can anyone explain is obvious(to me anyway) distain for Oregon and everything Ducks?

So because I live in the southeast and not in Eugene/Porltand metro area I don't have TV access to the game this weekend.  Do any ATQer's have any suggestions as to where I might be able to watch the game?  Is there any internet access stream, maybe a website I don't know about?  I would prefer not to pay for anything so free would be awesome.  If no internet is available what are the radio broadcast call letters so I can look it up on the internet?  Do they even still call the game on the radio?  if yes then do you guys have any preference for a particular station over others? 

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Last Friday I was packing the suitcase for my 2 year old for a trip to my inlaws house for Xmas.  They currently live in Tucson and my wifes youngest sister is a student at U of A as well as playing in the band.  Because of this her father, my father in law, is now a newfound Wildcats fan.  Now my wife could care less about sports or the Pac 10 but when she say me packing his newest Ducks shirt that I got while in Eugene for the Ducks/BSU game this year she made a comment that him wearing that out in AZ in front of my father in law would not be prudent.  I explained to her that since she had no stake in sports affliations and that I did I was going to pack his Ducks shirt and that he was going to wear it while visiting his grandparents. 

Cut to a few days ago, we are sitting in his living room watching the Las Vegas Bowl my son rocking his shirt and me quietly smiling whenever BYU did something good(which unfortunately was not often)  My father in law did not mention his grandson's wardrobe and my son had a great time showing his school spirit.

Sidenote- I spent part of gametime in the car and I listened to the game on the radio and the announcers they have are HORRIBLE.  They made the most assanine comments that had no bearing on anything.

There is a post/blog on Duck Sports News from Mosely that gives you his early 2 deep for next year.  With 2 more games to go are we getting a little ahead of ourselves?

I am like everyone else in that I like looking towards the future and call me Debbie Downer but shouldn't we at least wait till the bowl game is finished before we start making predictions about next years squad.  The only thing we are sure of is that alot of things are going to happen to current and possible incoming freshman to change the entire look of 2009's squad.  Recruiting, draft, eligibility, and alterior motives are all going to play a role in who starts opening weekend.  Plus the fact that once basketball season is over we are going to have ALL SUMMER to get ready. 

What do my fellow winged warriors think? 

Don't let the title fool you.  I am really glad I found this site, but I have a little suggestion to liven up the jersey contest.  As I was watching the Bulldogs get their asses handed to them by the Tide I thought won't it be a little more interesting if you kept with the 4 high profile games and then for the fifth added an obscure D1/D1AA game in the mix.  I watched a little of the Alabama State/Mississippi Valley State game and thought it might be cool to ask the ATQ bloggers who would win that game.

Just a thought, not saying the old way is wrong just thought this might add a little spice everynow and again.

I know that he was cleared to play only a week or so ago but did anyone watching the game see him in a jersey on the sideline?  He is listed on the roster on the Oregon football website.  Wearing number 30?  I looked for him during the bradcast but didn't know his number at the time.

Any other new news about him?  The D-line rotation worked pretty well againt UW but I know that the offenses are only going to get better as the seasoin goes on.

This post is going out to the locals i.e. those who live in Eugene, Portland and surrounding areas.  I am coming out for the BSU game with two other friends and I need some info on hotels.  I have heard that the Bronco faithful travel well.  I need to find us a hotel in or around Eugene(Springfield, Santa Clara) that isn't gonna cost me an arm and leg.  We would like to keep it to $75 a night MAX. 

Please if anyone can make any suggestions for a specific hotel or a decent place that might fall in those price parameters and locales I would be greatly appreciative.

I saw this kid play in the East/West Shriners game the other day and I must say I am pulling for the kid.  He played 8 man football in HS and was the QB/K anything they needed.  He ran all over and around the other kids in the all star game.  Like I said he was a QB in HS but they have him listed as a WR(I guess that is where he can best get a shot on the field seeing as how we have 5 QB's)).  He walked on and I hope he not only makes and stays with the team but I hope we hear somethings from him a few years down the road.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Also while I have this post open, has anyone heard what is going on with televising the games this year.  I live in NC and the only way I got games last year was thru FSN or ESPN gameplan.  Unless they were national games I had to order the package on a weekly basis.  I was thinking of getting the whole year because it is cheaper then buying 7 weekends.  I am not going to get it if they are not going to show Ducks' games.  Anyone got any info?

Can I just put out a quick post and tell anyone who is listening that I a so f**cking excited that fall camp has started and we are a mere month away from the actual season.  Damn I missed college football. 

The only bad thing abou this is that we are still one MONTH away and will the flood of info coming in everyday it just makes it that much harder to have to wait.

Pheww, there I said my peace.

GO DUCKS!!!!!

I just read a few articles from Duck Sports news concerning the arena of expansion.  Now the articles come from a fansite and his best two options where Utah and BYU.  He goes on in the articles to defend his reason.  I won't waste space and time here for that.  My question is if the Pac 10 where to expand to 12 which 2 teams would you want and why?  I am going to take the stance for which 2 teams best serve the Pac 10 in all sports but mainly the big two, football and mens basketball. 

When giving an answer please try and give valid reasoning.

My 2 choices would be Boise State and Fresno State.  Both have shown no fear when playing teams from bigger conferences.  Both stand up reasonably well against the Pac 10 and by getting BSU we can tap into the market of Idaho(albiet small) and the rural middle part of cali.  The new travel would not put to much new strain on teams and both schools have name recognition.

Those are my choices now I want to hear from you guys.
