Civil War Photoshop Extravaganza

 

Since I told Jared that if I made another photoshop, I'd create a new thread to throw them all in there.

So...

I give you...

I'm unable to make it to the WSU game (1 Free ticket!)

I'm incredibly sick today, and driving down to Eugene, hitting a ducks game, and driving back isn't exactly the doctor's prescribed rest. Especially with how the weather is shaping up to be.

I've tossed and turned around about this all last night and all morning, and it for me going down is just not gonna happen today. I'm sure everyone in section 19 will appreciate me not spreading my germs.

It's a pretty fantastic seat. Section 19, Row 21. There is only 1 seat though. Great view of Duck Vision, and a good angle on the field. You can see straight down the northern sideline. I'll even pay the forwarding fee.

Just send me an email if you're interested.

thatoneguy REALLY DOES deserve a lot of credit.

... for allowing other blogs show the quality of their content and running their respected communities. And that you can do it openly and without narcissism. It gives a great baseline to judge other blogs by.

jtlight has done a great job at keeping the AtQ engine running strong. His game analysts are some of the best in the country, and he keeps his pulse close to just about every team out there. With 120 teams to keep track of, that's impressive.

 

Recently promoted manager Dominic has been impeccable with keeping us surviving the off season. It's good that he often takes the devils-advocate side against Jared. It helps balance the discussions and keep perspective.

 

ntrebon, "Nico", is generally one of the first and few that will chime in to keep us informed of the finer details of college football. He'll keep folks in line when they become openly rude, but usually would rather folks see the finer parts of life to enjoy - like Mitch Hedberg.

 

PaulSF - Always an insightful editor. Of all the jersey contest bloggers, I enjoy reading his perspective the most. Grade A writing, research and commentary. He could excel in a lot of areas, but instead, he decides to give us our quack.

 

JConant reminds me of the guy that everyone wants to be around. Always up for a good laugh. He likes to chill around. But he shines when he lays down the quack.

 

And our founder, Dave, isn't freakin' great to see him back? When I originally came across AtQ - I stuck around because of his opinion pieces. He can examine, formulate, express, and persuade an opinion unlike anyone else I've read. His game-by-game break down was of the best I ever came across. I stopped reading the Oregonian garbage, because I knew Dave would deliver something better.

I feel ill and ashamed.

So I got back home last night. Overall, I enjoyed myself.

My impression of the fans is - there is a serious mixed bag. You have both some of the greatest fans, and some of the rudest fans.

The minority:

I keep hearing that Oregon players are going to be going into Boise with a chip on their shoulders.

Someone tell me... is that legal field personnel? Does Chip Kelly know no bounds?

An interesting article about how teams in the NCAA are being required to change even their most basic coverage schemes.

Visitor Suggestions - Places to hit while in Boise

So, I guess there's this football game in Boise in a few days. In the sea of Orange and Blue, there will be spots of yellow and green. I'll be one of those spots. While I've been to Boise before, that schedule was very packed. This time, I anticipate having around 4-5 hours to just kinda kill while we wait for kickoff. Our hotel is about a tiny 20 minute walk from the stadium, though other locations would be welcomed too.

What I'm looking for is the "Visiting fan's guide to Boise". Specifically around Bronco Stadium.

What are the "must visit" eateries? Where could a couple of guys dawning green and yellow have a good time, possible talk football with a few fans, and maybe have a couple beers?

Any other sites to visit? Any pregame activities that might be enjoyable? How's the tailgating scene?

Just thought I'd share my favorite Pat Chung college highlight. While it didn't turn out the way he would have liked, you got to admire his desire to give 100% on every play - including punt returning.
