Last year, DSN co-owner Ryan Welch and I got in the habit of text messaging each other during football and basketball games like a couple of nimble-fingered 15 year-old girls, minus the BFFL, LEMENO, IMO, and OTTOMH lingo.
Out of those incredibly juvenile, adolescent, snarky, reactionary, superficial, Tweet-like, and immediate exchanges, we managed to salvage something mildly entertaining (at least to us), “10 Quick Hits”.
Here’s our Washington edition:
Pre-Game Warmups:
- Talked to Josh Wilcox. Trying to get him to interview his brother, Boise State Defensive Coordinator, Justin Wilcox. Will a six-pack do it, Josh?
- Talked to Ron Finley, Oregon’s Wrestling Coach Emeritus, and his son, Mike. I have to hand it Coach Finley. Even though the university cut his wrestling program and he is part of a lawsuit against the university to reinstate the program (which he assured me is ready to go if they win their case), he’s there at the game cheering on his Ducks. Wrestlers never quit. And Ron Finley has never quit being a Duck fan.
- According to Duck Vision, a certain Assistant Women’s Golf Coach celebrated her 25th birthday on Saturday.
1. Looks like the Duck Vision screen got bigger as the cheerleaders’ outfits got smaller.
2. Jake Locker was at his most accurate when landing a kick to Patrick Chung’s “secondary”.
3. Terrance Scott is fast.
4. Last year’s game against the Huskies never really ended.
5. Six out of seven of the flag girls were in synch. Isn’t that a Meatloaf song?
6. Jake Locker is not Tim Tebow.
7. Ty Willingham is not making it through the season.
8. Pac-10 officials are bad.
9. Déjà vu. U of O students and administrators clearly didn’t learn any lessons from the Pit Crew vs. Kevin Love incident (George Schroeder is right.).
10. (Overheard) Justin Roper’s interception was the biggest floater since Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo.
Hey, it’s the Washington game. So, we’ll go to 11 on this one.
11. The Duck Vision screen looks just as good as the audio sounded bad.
Post-Game:
I want to apologize to the couple DSN almost broke up after the game. At my prompting, a DSN sales & marketing representative presented a gentleman with a DSN card. However, this particular representative is an attractive young woman and the gentleman’s girlfriend was none too happy…and promptly took the card and threw it away.
