PrintToday's theme: Apparently the huskies are not completely terrible. Here's your Tuesday version of Hate-week quack.
- Rob Moseley has some quotes from David Paulson, Eddie Pleasant and Carson York about the rivalry and preparing for Washington. No bulletin-board material here.
- Aaron Fentress writes that the Ducks realize that they have reached the meat of the conference schedule with consecutive games against washington, Stanford and USC.
- Adam Jude takes a look at the contributions from Keith Price and Chris Polk and the emergence of washington as a threat in the conference.
- In case you missed any of them, here's a summary of Ted Miller's blogginess from yesterday: Oregon holds at #2 in his weekly power rankings, a Halloween-themed post, his weekly rewind, and his updated take on the Oregon-washington rivalry.
- During this week's look around the conference, Bob Clark highlights some of the big conference matchups that will take place this month.
- Not to be lost in all the festivities of Hate Week, it was reported yesterday that the Ducks signed four-star point guard Dominic Artis out of Valencia, California. Artis had originally been a UCLA commit and also had offers from the likes of Kansas, Memphis, Arizona and St. John's.
Go Ducks!

We badly needed a point guard this recruiting cycle – snagging the top rated uncommitted one is quite the feat. It doesn’t hurt that he grew up w Jabari Brown and played on the powerhouse Oakland Soldiers AAU squad and is going to Findley Prep for his senior year. Those are 2 pipelines that can lead to many more relationships and recruits.
On a related note, college basketball recruiting/AAU leaves a nauseating feeling in me. Ugh.

It has been 2,922 days since the washington huskies have defeated the Oregon Ducks in football.
DID YOU KNOW? Q: If you took one dollar bill for each of the days in Oregon’s win streak over washington, and lined them up end to end, what would you get?
A: Shot by 2000 washington linebacker Jeremiah Pharms, most likely.

"huck the fuskies"
I wasn’t going to made kids swear. Though I probably didn’t have to worry about offending the parents because they were merely watching from the car.
If you’re going to let your kids get all that candy, at least make them walk around to get it. Sheesh.

We had less kids than ever
So I threw mini Snicker bars to the parents waiting down on the sidewalk for the last hour of the event…
Both gold and muck come out of the same shaft...
we had a lot of kids
I went through a couple bags of candy, but I was giving every kid a couple of pieces.
It was really noticable when I took my kids out, though, that only one out of every three or four houses had lights on.

In SoCall where I live, we haven’t gotten trick or treaters in 4 years. Not one. All the parents take their kids to church, school or community events. Its sad really.

That's not what Halloween is about.
Part of what I loved as a kid about Halloween was that it was the one night a year, where at the age of 8, 9, 10, 11-ish we could all be out well after dark without a parent with us…..
As a kid, being out later than normal and going door to door in the dark absolutely makes the holiday what it is.

You can blame the media
for the sensationalization of this whole “to catch a predator” crap. It totally fed the fears of the hypersensitive types who didn’t want their kids going from door to door when it’s dark. Now, I freely admit that my tune might change if I were to ever have kids, but, yes, I agree with you: The entire fun of Halloween as a kid was being out late.

Yeah
I remember when I was a kid my parents just laughed at the whole "razor blades in apples’ and poison candy urban legends. Also, maybe I’m just forgetting, but costumes sure do suck now. Everything is pre-packaged and unoriginal now. Sad.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
My wife and I make our costumes every year.
It is so much more enjoyable. This year we dressed our 6 month ol daughter up as a cupcake and we where the bakers. My wife deserves all the credit, she is really good with felt and a glue gun.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
We’ve done a little bit of both, but this year we went the prepackaged route, mainly because we found the costumes cheap at Costco. I do like the do-it-yourself routine, but I am terrible at crafty things like that, and my wife wasn’t feeling up to it this year.

I have a feeling we will eventually go this route.
Having only one kid makes it pretty easy. As we start to pop more out things will probably change.

We have dogs.
In lieu of torturing them with costumes I just give ’em their end-of-summer baths so they look like different dogs.

The Ewok she made for my brother was awesome. She had mad sewing skills. When I started seeing the first FlexFit hats I immediately thought of how my mom missed out on her million$. She used to take the stupid snap back thing out of my baseball hats and sex elastic in instead. This was back in the mid-eighties! She sewed up the sleeves on my 2001 Joey Harrington Jersey back in 2001 as well. Mad skills on the sewing machine!

Yeah, the whol x-raying candy thing is way over the top. And it’s come to the point where you can’t give out homemade stuff unless you absolutely know the family. Otherwise people will think it’s poison and throw it away.

My wife and I were given jello shots at a house last night, and we didn’t even think twice before downing them
I agree completely. SoCal is a weird place. In some ways i think parents have become paranoid down here. I live in a very good neighborhood, but even here you never see kids riding their bikes or roaming the neighborhood., Everything is structured (play dates). Things like Halloween have also become as much a social event for the parents as it is for the kids.Its very very sad really.

Honestly I think
the slow death of trick or treating has more to do with a diminishing sense of neighborhood and community than anything else. Neighborhood relationships for the most part are not then same as they were in the 60’s or 70’s. I’m somewhat guilty of this myself…I only really know the neighbors on either side of me and those in the 3 houses across the street. I don’t know the people down the street. It wasn’t that way for the previous generation. When we were growning up, my folks knew EVERYONE on our street, and pretty much on the 3 or 4 streets around us.
ATQ's #1 fan of ATQ Guys
To be fair...
The only reason they knew everyone on the street was their constant "lawn vigilance’ right?
“GET OFF MY DAMNED LAWN, MYRTLE!” does not carry nearly the weight without adding their name.
I don't mean to impose...
Good point...
There’s a Sociology paper in there somewhere. It is sad how neighborhoods aren’t the same. Also, as technology advances, more and more kids stay indoors. I mean I had a Sega Genesis when I was a kid, but I can’t think of single afternoon during the summer when I spent more time indoors with video games than I did outside playing baseball, football, basketball, capture the flag, or whatever.
Sigh. I miss my childhood.

Small towns FTW
Plenty of kids out in the Hood last night. Had our choice of neighborhoods. Downtown business association also does trick or treating, as do a couple local nursing facilities.
Previous years we’ve gone out in my in-laws’ NE PDX neighborhood, and there were plenty of kids and plenty of houses fully decorated, too.
So I guess it depends on where you go.

Brooklyn streets were pretty busy with kids yesterday
things work a little differently here though as most people live in apt buildings with secure lobbies so if you don’t live in the building can’t go in. Kids and parents will go to the businesses on the commercial streets, all the small businesses have candy and treats.
For older kids there is the Village Zombie Parade
People are working to damn much to spend time in their yards anymore,
If people have yards, that is.
Growing up, my Dad worked, and my Mom stayed home with the kids. If you’re home with the kids you go crazy so you kick them out of the house to ride their bikes or whatever. Kids bring home friends and the Moms/Families meet that way.
Now, it’s drop the kids off at daycare and rush your ass to work. Pick up the kids, feed them dinner, spend the little time you have together as a family and do it all over the next day.
Having said that, we took our kids to a friend’s house (daycare buddies!) where we ate, drank, and took the kids trick or treating. They had a blast.
My parents believed in me.
This is very true. There are select neighborhoods around here (in Orange County) where they still do a ton of things together, and these neighborhoods tend to go all out for Halloween, like they do for most holidays.
My neighborhood was dead. But part of that is that I live in a relatively poor area of Orange County (as compared to the rest of the county – not to SoCal as a whole), and there is a large language barrier. And it snowballs. Once a couple people in the neighborhood decide not to participate, other people decide it’s not important, and pretty soon only one in 6 houses has a pumpkin outside. It’s sad.
My wife and I are planning to take a Spanish program, though, so we can actually communicate with our neighbors. That might help a little bit.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
We had three groups...
My wife and I just moved to our neighborhood. so this was our first Halloween with trick or treaters…we had three big groups and that was it. Crickets from about 7:30 on (except for the requisite older kids just walking around looking for candy). I’m guessing most families in our area just went together as big groups.
It’s amazing to me how much Halloween has changed since I was a kid.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
My neighborhood is Halloween paradise
Every year I get something like 50 to 60 kids. Last year I had 80 and went through about 600 pieces of candy. This year was a down year. Only had about 50 kids and only went through about 400 pieces of candy. I overbought and have a ton left over. Parents will drive their kids to our neighborhood for trick or treating. My friends brought 8 of their kids over, parked in our drivewa,y and also trick or treated on my street.
Its ridiculous. The first year I lived in my current house I was woefully under-prepared and totally ran out of candy.
When my friends and I tunred 12 we started to maximize our candy returns.
We would hit all the houses with the most decorations. After everything started to slow down we would change our mask and hit the same houses. At that point everyone wanted to just get rid of their candy. Three pillow cases full of candy a piece was our personnel record. I’m surprised I still have teeth
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
I left a bucket of candy out so I could take my son trick or treating for the first time
He had a blast, dressed up as SpiderMan. He got a ton of candy and was for the most part very polite. (He got a little tired of formalities and on the last house and instead of saying Trick or Treat, he yelled I want Candy!) Anyways, when I got home 45 minutes later I found one piece of candy left in our bowl. I knew it would happen, but I was just hoping that the kids would be a little more respectful. Halloween Social Experiment failure!
Let's get this started off correctly: FUCK THE hUSKIES
My HATE runs deep for this program. I grew up in Lewiston, Idaho just 45 miles south of lovely Pullman, Washington. That means, you guessed it, I grew up a Cougar fan. I went to every Apple Cup played in Martin Stadium from the late 80’s until the early 2000’s. I’ve sat through some miserably cold games in that stadium. Wiping snow and ice off the metal (high-school-style) bleachers and putting a piece of newspaper down to sit on.
Needless to say, many of those apple cup games were losses. Some of them blowouts. All of them spent bitterly despising those purple cladden-loud mouthed assholes. I’ve always hated the huskies. napolean kauffman, puke! So many players I grew up hating.
Then I went to U of O in 2002 and realized what the only “Real rivalry” in the Northwest was all about. HATRED. I thought I knew what rivalries were before this. I didn’t. Like others have pointed out this week: our rivalry with OSU is like a family fight. The uw-WSU rivalry is like a big brother-little brother fight where WSU is the little brother who is smaller but has a meaner-mean streak in him. U of O WSU is like a drunken frat brother fight: you actually love each other, and just really enjoy the act of getting drunk together and watch football, but once you’re truly drunk you remember that you are, in fact, enemies. The fights happen, but only when both parties are drunk. The next morning everyone shakes hands, parts ways, and wishes each other good luck down the road.
And then there is the U of O and whelp rivalry. There is no make up sex in this one ladies and gents. This is the kind of hate where you fight dead sober. This is where you see 40 year old Dad’s who have their 7 year old sons with them getting in fights with 19 year old college kids. It is not pretty. I HATE the fucking fuskies.
I remember being in Autzen in ‘03 and seeing at least 2 fights (between pretty sober people) prior to the game having started. People spitting on each other. People dropping F-bombs left and right. Grandma’s saying, “fuck you,” to you. This is the kind of hate where you see someone walking out in the cold, rain or snow who is underdressed and soaked, and you stop to offer them a ride. And right as they open the door and go to get in the truck you drive off. Laughing. Fuck the Huskies.
There are few things in life worse than someone who is completely stuck in the past. Someone who will not let go of their delusional memories of dominance. My point here is to say that this rivalries hate, finally has “that feeling” to it again. That thing you can’t quite describe with words. “It” It doesn’t make sense and someone who doesn’t LOVE a sports team will have no chance of getting “it.” So on this two-thousand nine hundred and twenty second day, I can only think how too few days that is. We need to come out firing and push this to well over the 3,000 mark.
The huskies deserve to lose this game. It is their last game there, we all know. We all can foresee that us losing will erase the last seven years of dominance in all of their minds. Vomit. I can’t stand the huskies!
I have only been to that shit-hole of a stadium once in my life. I was in Seattle to watch WSU play a game at QWEST field several years ago (against Colorado I believe) and it just so happened that the University of Idaho was playing at husky stadium that day. One of the kids I went to high school with played for the Vandals and a bunch of my good buddies went there. Obviously, uw beat them, but they looked poor doing it.
But that wasn’t the point. uw sucked at this time. They were flat out not good. I, obviously, had my Ducks gear on and while walking to the game ran into a couple typical whelp fans. Talking all kinds of shit to me, with their team being horrible. I’m thinking this was around 2006. These kids were delusional, rude and they instigated the whole thing. Kept barking off random nothings for about 10 minutes as we walked to the stadium with me trying to diffuse the situation the entire time. Not even adding to the fire.One of these kids wound up throwing his fountain drink pop cup at me. Had my father not been there (he’s a pretty big guy) things would have gotten ugly. No fight that day but it was my worst encounter in or around any fan base (other than possibly fBSU). My hate for them has not diminished.
Here’s to hoping our players like Paulson can get everyone else in that locker room up to speed with what this rivalry really is when UW fields something beyond a decent high school football team. Saturday will be an outright war. So say it loud, and say it with me: “Fuck. The. fucking. fuskies”

I thought he said “if Thomas isn’t 100%”? I’m not just arguing semantics, I think there’s a big distinction there. From the 2 minutes I heard him talking during the commercial break of 1080, it sounded like he was saying that Darron must be 100%, meaning he must be able to not only keep the fuskies D honest in the zone read, but he must be able to break runs somewhere close to how well Bennett does. I disagree with this. I think BB has done a great job the past couple of games, and I’m excited about the future…but DT’s passing abilities are an enormous difference. As long as DT is healthy enough to keep the ball and get a few yards when the read-man chases LMJ instead of staying home, I personally want DT in there. However, if they can crash the read-man and not have to respect DT running, that’s another story, and I’m sure they will test that out early.

What I heard
admittedly, I didn’t stick around to hear the whole thing, but he teased an interview with someone at around 5:30 yesterday by saying “This guy thinks Darron Thomas should start. I think Brian Bennett should start. Back after the break.” That’s about all I needed to hear. I switched to NPR.
He didn’t say “if he’s not 100%.” At least, not when I was listening.
The "Beano Cook" of ATQ.
We’re in similar boats. I heard the last 10 seconds of a call and they were heading to break. Canzano said something like “I agree with that caller – he thinks Bennett should start if Darron Thomas isn’t 100%, and I think that’s dead on”. My immediate thought was, “well of course Canzano would be doing his show with a focus on blowing up the ‘controversy’, that’s right in his wheelhouse” and turned it back to 1080 and listened to some mortgage re-finance or mattress commercial. That’s what that show does to me a majority of the time – it takes me, a guy who channel surfs constantly to avoid commercials, and makes switch to a station that I know has commercials on because I’d rather listen to the commercials than listen to him stir the pot.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST WHEATON WAVE EVER. GEEEENEEEEYUSSSS.
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
This sent a chill down my spine when I found it last night...
For those of us who look wistfully upon the “good old days” (admittedly, not many on this site):
“Only one of the victims was a college player… Not a single life was lost, they say, in a game where a physician’s certificate was demanded before the game.. In most every case the victim did not suffer any length of time, some dying almost instatnly and others a few days after the accident. Two of the players suffered broken neck…”
Note that this was ten years after Teddy Roosevelt famously summoned the presidents of Harvard, Yale and Columbia to the White House and told them to clean up football or he would ban it. Maybe TR gets more credit than he deserves on this front.

"I love Oregon's obsolete recruiting report on an unhealthy level. Just more proof how balla Chip Kelly really is." Dr. Saturday
Oh thank god.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
I sure hope that Gildon is good to go.
We cant afford to get beaten deep against UW, and Gildon is a definite step up from Troy Hill at this point in their careers.
As a whole, Gildon, Mitchell, Ekpre-Olomu, and Hill are a very solid CB group. If Cliff Harris had been in there at any point this season, the CB group would be insanely good.
Keith Price, the best QB in the Pac-12
I'm impressed (and a bit worried) about what Ekpre-Olomu has managed to do this season.
Last recruiting class, we looked stacked at DB. We weren’t taking just any CB’s, we were being choosy, and Ifo was good enough to get a nod at a non-need position. But with all that depth, it seemed like he would probably redshirt. Instead, he’s been a regular contributor on both ST and defense. Great for the kid, and the Ducks going forward, but it’s a little worrying with all the depth that it looked like we had preseason to have a true freshman get substantial time.
Something to think about – contrast our last true freshman contributor at CB, one Cliff Harris. Sure, Cliff got a late start, and flashed those amazing one of a kind ball skills. But as far as both substantial field time and solid, reliable cornerback skills, Ifo has probably already made a bigger impact as a freshman.

I just have to laugh when I hear someone say the equivalent of
“Boise has more NFL talent than Oregon, " “Oregon wins without any NFL Talent,” or "only a couple kids on the Oregon roster are going to be drafted.
Off the top of my head: LaMichael James, Kenjon Barner, DeAnthony Thomas, David Paulson, Colt Lyerla, Darron Thomas, Josh Kaddu, Michael Clay, Cliff Harris (if he gets his act together), John Boyett, Dion Jordan, Carson York, Mark Asper.

Boyett will have been a three year starter and plays a pretty physical style.
If his expectation is to be drafted in round 4 or above he should go. I don’t see much additional development that can come from a 4th year that would outweigh the risk of injury.

I am nervous about the fuckin' fuskies
Can someone make me feel better please? Those mother F-ers are going to come out fired up, crowd will be well lubed, and last game at the old husky stadium. I have watched Polk for a while and personally, I think the guy is a stud. They have enough weapons on offense to keep it interesting and just a few bad possession will put some pressure on our ducks. Sark seems to find a way to upset elite pac-12 teams in his short tenure. If I were a husky, I would want nothing more this season than to win this game and make next Saturday a whole lot less important on a national level.
Watching the WSU game again and what pisses me off about this game is that one of the key things we wanted to see continue was offensive line improvement, dominating the line of scrimmage, and that really didn’t happen. Its also shocking how the cougs were able to sustain drives. Hopefully we come out with a little more heart and purpose on both sides of the ball.
Hold me

JT - that helps a lot...
but I still need a hug. Here’s why…Perfect that you responded because, it was your pregame assessment that has spawned my worry.
here’s what I want to see out of the Ducks this weekend.
1. If Bryan Bennett plays, I want to see him go through his progessions.
2. I want to see Oregon’s offensive line consistently win the line of scrimmage battle.
3. I want to see the defense hold WSU to less than 10 points
Not sure if I could assess BB’s progression reads so help me out, but on points 2 and 3, we did not meet expectations against a shit team at home.
I would forget the idea of the whelps being held to 10 if I were you.
Bennett going through his progressions would be nice, if he plays. But there is no real indication that the fusks can dominate the LOS on defense to begin with. The Ducks, regardless of who starts, will look to run early and often IMO.
Ducks GOOOOD. Fuskies BAAAAAD.

Chips said on show that on the pass BB threw to LT, that LT was THE THIRD READ on BB's progression
and it was done perfectly (paraphrase.)

PANIC
I’m not getting much school work done, cause I’m really nervous too. My worry is the “few bad possessions” thing you mentioned. With the crowd environment, we could easily be in a battle and down by some points early with just a couple mistakes.
I’m not suggesting I think this is going to happen. Just that it may be possible and that if it does I will be in full on Panic mode.

Is that actually Ricky Williams, or just a guy who looks like Ricky Williams?

I’ve heard that and the uncivil war.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
