That was embarrassing.

Dawgs were blown-out of Husky Stadium by the ducks again today. Oregon's win streak is as safe as ever and still counting at ten games. So much for removing the track and how did so much green and yellow pond scum gain access to the Terrace Club?

At five(5) losses in five(5) opportunities, Sark is now the all-time leader in coaching failure against Oregon in football...... having passed up Tyrone's four(4) losses in four(4) futile attempts. The way today's game went for Sark, who can think about this losing streak ever ending?

How did everyone like the blackout? Just before halftime and again late in the 3rd quarter, it reminded me of the last blackout I saw in Husky Stadium two years ago against Oregon, a different flock of ducks, but the same result......... so much so that it felt like an afternoon deja vu all over again. The flat black helmets were special and I've come around to believing that if the Dawgs are going to play like they did today, perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to don the Purple and Gold while we're present.

We knew that the Husky defense would struggle against the duck offense, didn't we? Of course we did. However, I had the feeling during the game that Oregon probably could have scored 70+ points and would have except that Sark managed to tweek the defense against kick-offs during past week's practices forcing the ducks to march at least half the length of the field for each of their TD's. This special team's improvement wasn't quite offset by the Huskies' mediocre punting.

I imagine you doogs who gave us your pithy wisdom last week about how Oregon's defense this year wasn't up to duck standards must be in shock and awe. The second or first ranked team in the country doesn't get there with weak LB's and DL's. If the Husky offense has any potency, which now is a bit questionable, they made the duck defense look mighty tough.

After soaking up some rays in Tempe next Saturday, the Dawgs of mid-season mediocrity will begin the final stretch of five games of which three are winnable and two on the road are probably not. The only question after today is will our football team fade to worse like they did at the end of last season or show us some charactor. What we saw today could be as good as it's going to get in 2013.

After today, it appears certain that Committed to Rivalry is still as far away as it's ever been.

Some of your best work in a very long time old man. You must not be drinking tonight.

there are just things that are out of touch with reality. Small but poignant example... Moments after Oregon scored a TD to extend its lead to 38-24, there was a break in the action. The crowd was noticably deflated from the setback. Suddenly they start blasting techno music and the PA guy exhorts the crowd to "get up and show us your dance moves!!11!!"

I was like, who is overseeing this three ring circus? Get the fuck outta here!

Around that same time they play the Rocky clip about how life is about getting back on your feet after getting the shit kicked out of you, followed by th Rudy scene of "NOBODY pushes us around in our house. NOBODY!"

At which point I turned to my dad and said, "Says the team that has allowed 31 points and over 500 yards through 3 quarters of football."

and yes, Oregon basically ran off tackle for every play for the last 8:00 of the game. They could have put 60 on us if they needed to.

yeah, I rolled my eyes a few times today for sure. the new stadium is nice, and it had to be done. but it's still a little too shiny if you know what I mean. I think I'll like it more if I live to see it after some winning seasons and maybe aged a little. I was one that didn't mind the old stadium (other than the track), but it had to be done.

that said, Husky Heroes was good and it was cool to see Clifford. that more than anything in recent memory took me back to what it was like to be a Husky fan.

End of 3rd quarter and my wife says, hey it's close UW has a chance. I said 2007 was tied going into the 4th and it ended up 55-34. Today was damn near the same.

Fuck Emmert.

Fuck Woodward.

Fuck Sark.

After the Rudy clip I turned to Mrs. Chest and said..."Nobody but Oregon."

During the game thread I actually said that this game has a 2007 feel to it. Sure the game was "close" but it was never close. At no point did I think UW was going to win this game, at no point did I think UW could get a key stop if they had to, at no point did I feel like UW's offense could score points to tie it up if they had to.

UW in Sark's fifth year is as close to beating Oregon as they were in his first year.................they are a long fucking ways away.

The macklemore song and harry the husky with the trumpet makes me not want to go to home games anymore.
