The Ducks Awakened

More than a month ago...the UO Ducks were quacking along quite nicely in D-1 football...new coach...new style of play...success was a brimming over the cup...as NO ONE had them doing so this season...and then...the QB went down with an injury to his shoulder...BOOM!...

What was, was no longer...and the next series of games was near a disaster...losses piled up...the new coach was hearing 'it' from the locals...the leading of the offense was left with a freshman to do the job...and, he didn't have the skills of the injured one...hmmm, can you NFL blokes relate this to the Packer's Aaron Rogers?...the number of plays became very limited...and the O had to change to adapt...

Then...last night...the QB returned...I mean, RETURNED!...guess what team looked like that Duck team early on?...Justin Herbert...the enthusiasm is back...you could hear it in the crowd...you could see it on the players...was that Coach Taggart smiling?...yup...them Ducks have awakened!...a solid 20 point win over the Arizona 'Cats...yes, one really good player can make that much of a difference...

Some lesser bowl game is going to get a beaut of a team in UO...gosh, it would be nice if our Holiday Bowl would be the one...

You see the finish of the Dawgs and Utes?...what was the Utah coach thinking?...the game was tied at 30...less than 30 seconds to go in regulation...UDub had the ball in their own territory...out of time outs...OK, got the pix?...they run the ball to put it into OT...but wait!...Utah calls time out...what?...giving UW new life, so to speak...they then complete a couple of yardage gaining passes...get into FG range...and boot the winner at the end...'thank you very much, Utah coach'...say the Dawgs...geez, most coaches would get fired...

Hey...these schedule filler of games for the elite programs are a complete joke at this time of the year...'Bama beat Mercer 56-0, FSU beat Delaware St 77-6, Auburn beat Louise Monroe 42-14, and Clemson beat the Citadel 61-3...need more examples than these?...

Finally...the Heisman Race...for the best player in the land...the spot on leader is the QB of Oklahoma...Baker Mayfield...continues his onslaught of questionable antics...towards other teams...does this enter in the voting at all?...if you'd like...try your vote on this guy...the RB out of SDSU...Rashaad Penny...who leads the COUNTRY in rushing yards...had over 220 last night against Nevada...in their 9th win...and when interviewed after the game...gave all the credit to everyone around him...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
