#24 Washington @ #6 Oregon (Nov. 12, Sat 4 PM Fox)

If you want to hear a little of the opponent's perspective, here is a link to an interview Washington offensive lineman Jaxson Kirkland did with Dave "Softy" Mahler.

When facing the Huskies, never forget that this blob of a human is associated with the program. For those that don't know, this is Softy harassing Oregon fans years ago.

I have to admit I am entertained by Softy. He epitomizes obnoxious Husky fan, and since we have dominated them so thoroughly he is constantly pissed.

After the Ducks lost at Ga Softy tweeted the following (remember this was back in Sept)


Mariners Win
Huskys Win
Oregon Clowned

We all win

I can hardly wait till about 8pm (hopefully) on Saturday to respond to this tweet. I've been waiting and hopefully my wait will be rewarded.

On a separate note, if that is Softy in that picture I am sad that I cannot unsee that. What a tool.

I have this question. Is it ok for a daily radio host to be an unabashed fan for the home teams? As opposed to trying to remain a neutral commentator on their local teams. I don’t listen to sports talk radio anymore, I prefer podcasts. But the Portland talk guys all seemed to adopt the neutral position back when I was listening, with the exception of Chad Doing (don’t know if he is still on the air). I used to live in Seattle and they took a much more homer position in general.

When I moved from Oregon to Seattle in the early 2010s, what you described hit me like whiplash. Clownzano and Jason Quick approached Oregon sports like they were trying to uncover Watergate. Up in Seattle, headlines were always basically "Uw goes 3-9, Setting table for a national championship next year." Just wildly different.

I think the Clown has realized in recent years that if he contributes to a disinterest in local sports, his job goes away, so he's lightened up. You can only poke the bear when the bear is a Blazer team winning 60+ games a year or Ducks program that's playing for national championships.

On a positive note, this video tweet from a few years ago is still one of the best things the athletic department has put out there.

Agree about Canzano. I always thought Quick was pretty fair.

Ducks got some new custom Jordan XIVs this week. I think these are probably better than the last pair of custom XIVs they got.

Sorry those were ugly in 98, and they are ugly today. Those years if Jordan’s, are like 80s mustang’s. Only sold because of previous models.

Anybody heard anything about DJ Johnson? It'd be big to have him back.

He has been practicing all week, according to reports.

Team has to start fired up. Can't be flat against the Malamutes.

[Tray Dub]

Too bad about Cota. Hope he's back soon.
