10 Quick Hits?

Long story short: DSN co-owner Ryan Welch migrated subjecting each other to our in-game text messages to subjecting you, the DSN audience, to my text messages to myself.

Got it? Good. Because here we go…

1. Biggest Week 1 to Week 2 Improvement: Duck Vision. Now, I have to admit a bit of a bias here. But, regardless, the smoother transitions, de-flickered graphics, larger fonts, and improved audio all made for a much better Duck Vision experience.

2. Utah State Quarterback Sean Setzer, did you get a chance to talk to former Sheldon High School and WSU quarterback Alex Brink about coming home? Just curious.

3. Shutting out the Aggies for the game should have been the defensive goal. Shoot.

4. (Overheard) “What’s an Aggie?” An “aggie” is someone who attends an agricultural school. Texas A&M is probably the most famous “Aggie” football school. Over the course of its early history, Oregon State students were probably called “aggies”, until the term “Beavers” became increasingly popular. (Plenty of “aggie” jokes out there if you Google it.)

5. If you booed Jeremiah Masoli at any point during the game, you should have been kicked out of the game and considered persona non grata from all future Duck games. Are you serious? Booing the kid in his second game? In a blowout? Give me a break. (John Stossel impersonation completely unintentional.)

6. (Overhead right before halftime) “Bellotti looks mad.” Yeah, he probably should have been somewhat upset. But not at anything that would justify booing!

7. Shutting out the Aggies in the second half should have been the defensive goal. Double shoot.

8. Harper made a throw! Yeah!

9. The view from the camera deck (on the roof of the south-side suites) is pretty cool. And windy. I’d highly recommend it. It was just me, the football videographers, and a bunch of security types.

10. Diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks, I guess. Oregon runs over Utah State in Oregon on Saturday. Gary Colemen backs out his car at a bowling alley, hits a car, and runs over a pedestrian in Utah on Saturday.

Now, the world don’t move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he’s a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff’rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff’rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff’rent Strokes to move the world.

Everybody’s got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don’t matter that you got not alot
So what,
They’ll have theirs, and you’ll have yours, and I’ll have mine.
And together we’ll be fine….

Because it takes, Diff’rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff’rent Strokes to move the world.
