I lived in abq, the property crime capital of the usa with a the approx same number if murders as portland. This aint bad, my coworker’s dog got poisoned and nearly died a week before she chased someone off trying to break in. Didn’t expect the nightshifter awak e at dear god oclock in am

I don't wear duck gear to road or neutral sites. I can't avoid cheering for Oregon, so I take my chances when I am at my seat, but don't see any point in getting into a fight on the way in or out.

One game at Autzen, me and my friend switched to the colors and cheered for the opposing team at halftime because we were bored and the ducks were up big.... I believe it was the 2011 game against AZ. We were up by like 30+ points and were absolutely dominating. Foruntaltey, I had red/blue colors underneath my duck gear so we wanted to have a little fun and troll the duck fans around us.... well, suffice it to say. We succeeded in trolling the duck fans around us, and then some....actually, I think AZ rattled off like 20 straight points and we were rubbing in the ducks fans' faces and they were getting PISSSED. Haha. Good times. Ultimately, we (ducks) pulled away and the drunk fans got their much-needed retribution against us ("us" being the fake AZ fans).

You are joking right. How is that fun? Sounds like a real duck fan. You want to root for other team and troll duck fans? Blowouts are amazing cause it means ducks are crushing it. Can’t wait to go to husky stadium in all duck gear

Just got my train tix for the game, going to wait for the price drop right before the game to get tix

If not for some bad luck and just stupidly by their coaches trying to hide plays vs Wyoming, they would be a 1 L team right now. And that win would look really good.

The Texas Tech game was the first I've watched of us against a solid team and thought "Wow. There's a real talent disparity in the trenched and out wide in Oregon"s favor." Even guys like Steven Jones are massive and athletic.

What’s the deal with Brandon Dorlus?

[StevensTechU]

Injury during bye week is possible, but might be that he was doing the weekly photoshoot for the jerseys or some other time conflict.

On a different note, boy washington runs a lot of misdirection. Been catching up on seeing their games from this season. Their offense is a pass-happy Chip offense.

[GrantDuck]

UW fans extra cocky after beating us via a fluky injury last year.

To me it's pretty simple, if we play relatively clean on offense and are able to pressure Penix in the interior line(where I think we should have an advantage), I think we come out on top. Penix and their WR's are elite and their RB isn't bad either, but we are deeper on both LOS.

Will that happen with a loud environment and UW OL holding all game? We'll see.

What’s the deal with Brandon Dorlus?

Don’t know but we need him. Hyth pointed out on his podcast that he dominates OL with shorter arms, and UW OL have short arms.

Looking a little wet this weekend. Should play into our hands since I think we've got the edge in the rushing game. Also if a Husky fan decides to spit on me at least I'll be wearing a poncho.

[StevensTechU]

Fully anticipating the worst hangover of my life when I take the train back from Seattle to Portland on Sunday morning. I hope it's paired with a win.
