UW @ OS

I'll be at this game instead of the Duck game because I lost a bet to my UDub brother.  I even had to buy the tickets in the UDub section.  Oddly, it seems I will be rooting for OS at Reser, as my Husky Hatred surpasses my dislike of OS.

The obligatory 1985 mention.

Two questions: 1) what was the bet? 2) have you invited your brother to this forum?

Exception that proves the rule.  The thing about UW is that OS can never seem to surprise them.  We're Pac NW, they're Pac NW.  Players/coaches/staff often know each other, and there's enough bad blood, usually, to create a pseudo-rivalry.  

If it were USC coming to town -- the big boy that OS wants to take down; meanwhile SC thinks we barely exist -- I'd put more stock in the possibility of a shocking upset, a la 2006 or 2008.  

UW by 40.

1)  Oregon having a better record than UDub last year.  Yeah, good call by me.  I did get 5 consecutive trips to Seattle for UDub-Duck games over the last 13 years.

2)  No, message board shitposting is my personal shame.

Look, I know you may not want to answer me, but what is a decent breakfast or lunch place in Corvallis before we hit up some friends' tailgates?  We're going to head there around 11 and hang out in Corvallis for a bit, where I've hardly spent any time.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

To be honest, I haven't had breakfast in Corvallis in years.  But Sharon's in south Corvallis on 99 was a regular go-to spot.  Very old-school, and popular with students.  Lotsa tacky redneck crap on the walls (you could call it charm), so it's incredibly enticing to trump supporters.

Beavers should consider stop punting and just consider everything 4-down territory.

Slow start for UW, love the way we're grinding them down.

[PapaG]

That went OK for a half, but thankfully UDub turned it on and we got back to Portland in time for the second half of the Duck game.

Washington is fun to watch. Oregon State is simply lousy. They stayed in there for 20 minutes.

Pretty much.

Nall may be questionable against USC.  He's perhaps the only skill player on the team deserving of a Pac-12 scholarship.  This is a season from hell.

Our backup QB, the current starter, would be alright if you are a medium sized high school in Idaho. 

I have asked people that say they are Beaver fans this question, to varying responses: How many current Beaver starters would start for any of the other 11 Pac12 schools? Nall, Villamin, the stupid punter and that's it. And those guys, at best, might crack only 2 or 3 of the squads. 

The talent is just not there. Of course, neither are the x's and o's. The cupboard was bare, but this is now GA's cupboard mostly, and it is just as bad.

I have no clue what the deal is with Tyner.  Is he hurt, or just over being a football player?  He was a 5-star recruit for crissakes, and he's 3rd in the depth chart behind Artavis and Ryan.

He's a fat quitter who'd rather pig out than work hard. That's harsh, but he has no work ethic when it comes to football.
