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...

F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

O Yeah!

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

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...
