Speaking of Football, tis the season again for Duck arrogance and short sightedness.
Honestly, they ARE the new Huskies, only without any hardware or the post season appearances.
B1G media week last week, the local honks go on and on about how they are the #2 team in the B1G, the mutts 10th, and that they are almost a lock for a playoff spot. I'm listening to this and all I can think is "the mutts get discounted every year and still somehow make things happen, they have two playoff appearances including a Natty to your one 10 years ago, and over the past 10 years your school has been a stepping stone school for every east coast coach looking to get back east."
No doubt they'll be competitive, but to just pencil yourself into a natty? Like going back east for what... three games against teams who don't lose at home... isn't going to make a difference? They have Michigan, Purdue and Wiscy away; not a gauntlet but again.
