Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

I was in the Seattle airport yesterday making a connection back to Portland. As I was walking through the C gates area, a young black man and an older white man (maybe a coach?) noticed me and my family all decked out in Oregon gear. The older man smiled at us and tapped the younger guy to look at us. The younger guy immediately flashed an "O" with his hands, said "Oh yeah...Yell O!" My hands were full of luggage, so I couldn't flash the O, but I said "Go Ducks!" He had a big smile on his face. I'm pretty sure it was Reggie Daniels, but after looking at all the pictures of the UW visitors, I can't be sure. To say "Yell O" tells me he's visited Oregon before, as most would just say Go Ducks. That would seem to fit Reggie Daniels as well. Can anybody confirm who was at UW visiting this weekend?

Before Hines gets here, I just want to say that this is a great start to a rumor. The only thing I would change is I would have waited until late January to post it. The rest is perfect!

Reggie Daniels was at Washington this weekend....And by the way, that coach was at the ASU game awhile back and I spoke with him briefly (i'm 85% sure its the same coach, but in reality I have no idea ). Reggie Daniels was supposed to be at that game but a scheduling conflict came up so the coach came up to support a former player, Tyler Johnstone. This coach said TJ was a beast and just needed to put on some weight and "the sky is the limit"... apparently he is a "great, great kid" as well...Rumor has it that TJ is a an all Pac-16 player in 2014...

Oops...didn't mean for it to be rumor material. I just wanted to share a fun moment in Duck fandom. For all I know, it wasn't anyone but another Duck fan with his white (adoptive?) father who followed their beloved Ducks to the UW game.

I'm kicking myself for not stopping to talk with him, find out who he was, take a picture and have him sign my arse that I would then pledge never to wash again. Dadgum! I blew it!

I was at the Hard Rock in Vegas last weekend... I saw a young guy with a black Oregon shirt on, the front had a giant yellow "sparkley" O on it... On our way out he and his GF were standing in the lobby area and I gave him O and "go ducks" he looked super confused and I pointed to his shirt... he smiled and said he wasnt a football fan, and that he just liked the shirt!

Haha.... Go Ducks.

Pre-emptive strike: He ain't comin'.

Good to hear if it was him.

WTF does that mean? I guy goes through an airport and some kid smiles at Oregon gear? Is that the gist of the story? Yes, yes it is. Dude...you're freaking out over words I was never going to write. Seriously. Think about that.

I don't think there was much freaking out going on, and I apologize if you took exception to my light-hearted jab. I thought you enjoyed the role of the one who goes about sardonically debunking rumors, and my post anticipated something very like what you just said, so...uh....yeah, you did write the words I expected, after all.

again, no idea what you're talking about. my "role" in debunking rumors? huh? i literally have no idea what you're talking about. could you please link to or quote ONE time where I "debunk" rumors? just one.

ps: i have no idea who reggie daniels is and i'm too bored to look it up. sorry if that "debunks" your post.

i wish i knew what hines was like in real life. sikeeeee!

Looks like hines had an extra bowl of bitch flakes today.

i don't know who reggie daniels is either...

but it's obvious hines is being disingenuous here. goodness all these sensitive duck fans!

At this point, I'd kind of be surprised if Daniels doesn't end up at Oregon. Could be Boyett's replacement in two years.

If you do any amount of travel this time of year, you're bound to run into recruits and coaches. My last flight from California to Montana and back I ran into coaches from Florida, and Alabama, and 3 recruits traveling. Pretty interesting to see the back end of things.
