I actually started to have a good feeling about the game when David Pollack picked UCLA. It really seems to me that he just doesn't like Oregon for whatever reason. I seem to recall that he picked UW over Oregon when GameDay visited Seattle in 2013. Ducks won 45-24.

I could post the video of why, or you can just go to YouTube and watch Droughns run him over and end his nfl career.

David Pollack

https://www.cincyjungle.com/2011/4/4/20 ... inting-end

Why doesn't he like the Ducks?

1. SEC HONK

2. Reuben Droughns ended his career.

3. See #1

IIRC, Pollack blew his own neck up trying to tackle Droughns

That's exactly how it happened and why the rules are against tackling with your head down. If he hates Oregon because of that Droughns play, he's a small person. I just think he's a UGA/SEC guy and therefore he just doesn't like the Ducks the way a lot of people say don't like Notre Dame.

I just watched Pollack’s career ending hit on Droughns, that is on Pollack. I noticed his dislike for Oregon also, it seems he shows it at every turn and I now enjoy The Duck annoying him even more while brushing off his jacket during that one take, to me Pollack did not think that was funny and refused to react. I think it boils down to SEC honk.

Thanks. I didn't know about the Reuben Droughns (being a former Duck, of course) encounter. Fascinating if that's actually a factor in his attitude toward Oregon.

I think a lot of it is Pollack just embracing the role of heel. He’s an opinionated SEC guy anyways so might as well lean into it.
