Morning Oatmeal: I'm Glad I'm Not a Cougar Edition

News of the day:

  • Articles in both the Register-Guard and the Oregonian about the six-deep quarterback practice order.  The order is Costa, Roper, Kempt, Cooper, Thomas, and Harper.  Bellotti makes it clear that this is just a practice order, and that the job won't be decided until the fall.

Pac-10 News:

  • Looks like the OSU QB job is Lyle Moevao's to lose, as Sean Canfield will be out for the spring.  The Beavs also have big holes to fill at RB and on defense.
  • The big question in Cougarland is whether Tony Bennett will stay or go.  Rumors are that the Indiana and Cal jobs are both his if they want them.  Personally, I hope he stays, as very few coaches have the ability to make Wazzu a decent team.  But, the reality is, that with the losses of Weaver and Low, and the inherent disadvantages of getting decent recruits and decent games to Pullman, you could hardly blame him if he left.  I've always felt a little sorry for WSU.  Their remote location has always made things a little tougher for them.
  • Finally, UCLA is Final Four bound.  I even have them winning the whole damn thing in my bracket.  But, even though they are the only Pac-10 team left, I can't help but want them to lose.  Am I being unreasonable here?

GO DUCKS!!!

stan love
I don't so much hate Kevin Love... just his dad.  after the whole rant about how in the future he would never help UO recruit, never donate, never assist in any way, and then finding out that he NEVER HAD donated, helped, or assisted in any way, despite his team affiliation and resources, I just think he's an ass.  Add to that his statements about Ernie (his former teammate) and everything else he's said or done in the public eye, and he's not high on my list.

If he's cheering for a team, I'm going to root against it.  Kevin, I'm sorry for what duck fans said to you-- it's just that your father is a traitor and a grandstanding idiot.  I know... you can't pick your parents.

yeah
I've said before that I don't hate Kevin Love...but what makes me root against UCLA is a combination of factors, none of which are huge alone, but together make the Bruins really annoying.  Stan Love, Rick Neuheisel, and the fact that their fans are the most pompous, self entitled, whining fans around.  Have you spent much time around UCLA fans?  They make UW fans look really good.

small sample size...
I only know one UCLA fan, and he's really nice, but then, there are nice Husky fans too, and plenty of asshole UO fans giving us all a bad name...

but I agree with you, and understand-- it's not just KLove-- it's the whole sense of entitlement and pompousness that makes me hate that program.  Neuheisel and Stan Love are just the icing on the cake...

USC fans are far worse.
I live in San Diego and any time I wear my Duck gear around SC fans they just won't shut up.  Except after we beat them of course.  I watched the SC game at a local sports bar and there were 5 of us Duck fans and about 15 or so SC fans and they literally wanted to fight every time we did something good (not all, but a few).

Down here the UCLA fans are fine.

I really have no animosity towards UCLA
That will probably change in football as they become sleazy under Rick, but I think Howland is a good coach.  And I find the Husky and Beaver fans far more annoying.

I think generally
Most docile fans in the Pac (as football goes) are as so:
  1. fUCLA
  2. Cougs
  3. Stanford
Notice the pattern of team caliber in the above list? Fan rowdiness has almost a direct corrollation with team caliber.
