There was excitement in the air.

A hint of anticipation after the endless rain and grey clouds.

At last, they could go out and enjoy themselves!

They gathered up their friends and children, packed their swimming things…

… and set off to find the new pool.

Rumour had it that it was large, set in beautiful surroundings and that the water was just the right temperature.

Come on in – the water’s lovely!

I really like the way this website is put together.

It’s that time of the year where it gets cold and all I ever feel like doing is walking around my town. Shivering (because thats better than feeling nothing) and wondering what other people are doing at this very moment. Not people I know, necessarily, but just people, in general.

I wish I knew how to explain this frequent desire to be alone. Maybe it isn’t a desire to be alone, maybe it is just a desire to be silent and for that silence to be okay. It will pass, it always does, but right now, I just don’t want to talk to anyone if I don’t have to. I would like to sit in the park, listening to the ducks snore-quack and possibly holding someones hand and being silent, but that’s okay.

People often ask why I do so many long roadtrips just to go watch a football game.
Some think I’m crazy to drive all night to watch a football game, then immediately drive back, sometimes over a thousand miles.

The answer is simple. First, I love my Ducks.
Second, nothing beats a gameday atmosphere in college football, absolutely nothing. It’s like a drug, and I am hopelessly addicted to cheering on the Oregon Ducks.
Third, you never know when something amazing is going to happen, and to be able to say that you were there to experience it first-hand is amazing.

I’ve had those memories from one such roadtrip way back in 2000 when Oregon played at Arizona State. The game ended up going to double overtime, and should have been triple overtime if ASU hadn’t faked an extra point attempt with Todd Heap letting the pass fall off his fingertips. I had about four separate heart attacks in that game, and thought I would never see something to match it…

But that’s why I do these roadtrips every year, for the chance to see something amazing. Last weekend in Tucson, something amazing occurred.

I left work on Friday and jumped on the freeway, fighting brutal LA traffic the whole way. Apparently I wasn’t the only one trying to escape Los Angeles Friday evening, but going only 30 miles in 2 hours was a practice in frustration. Once I finally got past Redlands though it was clear sailing all the way to Phoenix. I stopped at the same Mobil gas station in Quartzsite that I’ve stopped off at countless number of times prior, the one at the exit with a wagon next to the Pizza Hut mini-store. I recall playing around on that wagon while some college buddies and I gassed up after spending a week out in LA for spring break, and stopping there for food with my parents when they picked me up from college, and when my buddy Ryan bought a ‘Quartzsite Trailer Trash’ trucker hat there when his band came out to my school to perform…he wore that hat every day for years, probably is still wearing it right now if it hasn’t completely fallen apart by now. Strange how for all of these trips between LA and Phoenix, with different vehicles, over hundreds of miles it always works out that I need to stop at the exact same gas station every time.

On to Phoenix, and my friend Stephanie’s house, for a quick nap. I had to head off to Tucson extra early, because ESPN College Gameday had chosen to broadcast live from Tucson for the Oregon-Arizona game, their first time ever in Tucson (they’ve done their show four times from Eugene). The broadcast was starting at 7am, so I needed to be at my buddy Dal’s place early so we could get there.

In to Phoenix at 1am, out the door at 4am headed towards Tucson, groggy but completely Ducked out in my gameday outfit and an Oregon flag in my pocket to wave when cameras panned by during the ESPN broadcast.

I got a little bit lost in Tucson, so Dal and I were running a bit late when we got to the ESPN College Gameday set on the University of Arizona campus. There was a decent-sized crowd there, but not as many as there had been for the USC-Oregon broadcast I had attended a few weeks prior back in Eugene…and for that one it was still dark, very cold, and raining.

Looking around, not surprisingly most of the Arizona fans were about LeGarrette Blount. Yeah, to be expected by this point, but I’m so over giving a crap about what people think about Oregon’s 5th string RB. The Ducks have one of the premier RBs in the country in LaMichael James, they don’t need Blount. But if people wanna talk shit about it, I just pity them for being such idiots…or in Tucson’s case, PITTY them.

“I pitty the fool that holds me under 5 yards (Blount’s rushing total vs. BSU, the only game he played in this year)

“Cage your LaGarrett”

The gameday crew slowly made their way out for their Sportscenter live check-ins before the Gameday broadcast began. Right away I could tell this one wasn’t going to be as good as the USC-Oregon broadcast. The gameday crew seemed much more maligned and subdued, and the crowd wasn’t nearly as rowdy. Eh, it was the first time Gameday had been in Tucson, and the AZ fans didn’t quite know how to properly bring the energy that having the prestigious TV show do a live broadcast from your campus deserved.

I was pleased to see a decent turnout by fellow Duck fans, it was a good sign that the crowd that night would have a good turnout as well. Say what you will about Oregon, but one thing you can’t ever deny is how loyal our fan base is, we travel well.

There was one sign that really pissed me off though. After being in Arizona for the last two games, there’s been a lot of recent animosity between the two fan bases because of injuries and fan behavior. 2005 Oregon’s starting senior QB Kellen Clemens broke his leg during the game in Tucson, then two plays later the backup QB Dennis Dixon suffered a concussion.
2007 it got ugly, when senior QB Dennis Dixon tore his ACL on the field, causing some of the Arizona fans erupt in cheering. This really pissed me off, as with many other Oregon fans really leaving a sour taste. Worse still was when Arizona fans mobbed the sidelines, taunting Oregon players while the game was still ongoing trying to pick fights with them and Oregon fans in the stands, and taunting and preventing Dennis Dixon from going to the locker room. There were almost numerous fights that nearly broke out near us as the game ended and Arizona fans stormed the field, then tried to antagonize Oregon fans in the visitor section behind the visitor bench by the visitor locker room entrance.
So two games, one with really piss poor Arizona fan behavior, and in both Oregon’s star QB was lost for the season.
One fan at the broadcast decided to bring a sign that read:
Clemens [check]
Dixon [check]
Masoli, you’re next
Some Arizona fans nearby were commenting on it finding it disrespectful, it was more than just that it was flat out wrong, and should have been confiscated by the Gameday sign nazis that roam the crowd looking for inappropriate content.

It was also interesting to see the splattering of random fans from school’s not affiliated with the game that day. There was of course the traditional WSU flag, being flown at every Gameday broadcast across the country since the 90s. Dal and I stood next to the WSU bearer for that week, and next to a family of Stanford fans. Behind was a Kansas State fan sticking out like a sore thumb wearing purple, and a few other random sprinklings of fans of various schools around the country…even somebody waving a Green Bay Packers flag. There were also a noticeable amount of Ohio State fans there, which pleased Dal greatly being a Buckeye fan while also an Arizona alumnus.

Eventually the Gameday live broadcast started, and the crowd jumped into their U OF A chant…

About halfway through the broadcast co-host Chris Fowler addressed the crowd, just like he had during the broadcast in Eugene weeks prior, to thank everybody for their participation.

Eventually the broadcast neared its end, and the traditional climax…when Lee Corso makes his pick for the winner of the game by donning the headgear of the mascot of one of the teams.
The Gameday crew gave their opinions of both Arizona and Oregon, of which we could only hear a word or two over the PA and the crowd would immediately start cheering or booing depending on if what they side was pro or anti Arizona. I had a feeling they were all leaning towards Oregon…after four trips to Eugene for games, they love Oregon. Oregon has been involved in games that Gameday broadcast from five times, four being home games, and every single time Lee Corso has picked Oregon putting on the Duck head. So I was confident Corso would once again show his Oregon pride, Duck fans love him too much for him to go against us.
Herbstreit was calling the game that night, so he couldn’t make an official pick, but all but chose the Ducks in his comments. Desmond Howard also picked Oregon. The guest picker for the week, Arizona alumnus Amanda Beard, of course chose Arizona to win, but then came the big moment with Corso and the headgear…

As expected, Corso put on the Duck head, and the crowd booed and left when the cameras shut down.

As we walked back to Dal’s car I spotted a sushi place with a sign that cracked me up…

Fuku Sushi? Yeah, fuck you sushi!!! Coming soon to engrish.com, or feel free to lolcat caption it as you see fit.

Back at Dal’s place we turned on the Michigan-Ohio State game, which I hear is a rivalry that a few people might care about. I went online to check the various Oregon messageboards…yeah, Duck fans were absolutely livid over the insulting “Masoli, you’re next” sign that had appeared at the Gameday broadcast. I watched the Michigan-OSU game for a bit, but the long drive and short night of sleep was catching up with me so I crashed out in Dal’s room for a few hours before the game that night.

Eventually we headed out for the stadium with a quick stop to pick up Dal’s girlfriend Liz. She was going to come with us to the gameday broadcast too, but with a badly sprained ankle it was probably best to stay off her feet as much as possible rather than just stand around for three hours then do it again that night at the game.
Traffic was brutal, in part because of the game but also there was some major bike race going on that was shutting down some of the main Tucson roads. No real shortcut to get around it, just have to wait for a gap so traffic can pass by.

Liz and Dal headed towards the stadium

There was a large contingent of Duck fans, always good to see, as we made our way to the stadium. I took my share of ribbing, which I always get in my Duck colors when on the road. It’s to be expected, and I actually kind of enjoy taking shit from the other fans over proudly wearing my Duck colors.

The ESPN College Gameday bus, parked underneath the stands at Arizona Stadium.

We settled into our seats, once again on the visitor side near the visitor’s locker room entrance behind the Ducks bench…Pretty close to where we were in 2007. Little did we know that all hell would break loose and we’d be in the epicenter of it, but more on that later.

It was still an hour until the game started, and I spotted some familiar faces down on the field. Former Oregon head coach-turned-Athletic Director and TV broadcaster for the local OSN replays of the game was chatting down on the field and occasionally taking photos with Duck fans nearby.

Mike Bellotti chatting with somebody, while former Oregon and longtime NFL player Anthony Newman stands nearby.

Oregon’s QBs and centers take the field for warmups.

Either the offensive line are going through pre-game warmups, or they are practicing the Thriller dance.

An hour before the game the Arizona student section was already jam-packed, and downright hostile. They booed every time Oregon players emerged from the tiny stairwell leading from the visitor’s locker room, and did their best to make pre-game warmups a hostile experience.

The Duck and Oregon cheerleaders clowning around while waiting for the game to start.

The team headed back into the locker room for last minute preparations before kickoff, and the big issue with Arizona Stadium was once again noticeable…For the visiting team to get off the field they have to go one-by-one down a tiny little stairwell leading to a small door. To move a team of 65 large football players + coaches and other personnel, and it can take 5-10 minutes just for the team to get off the field. This is a problem because it sits right in the corner of the stadium where the cheap seats are for the really rowdy and drunk instigators among the Arizona fans tend to rally together, and the scene can get ugly while the visitor team has to just stand there one by one going down the stairs while those fans have a clear shot to do, or throw, anything.
This is something that absolutely MUST be addressed and improved by the university when/if they do any facility upgrades, purely from a safety standpoint this issue needs to be changed. You can’t have the team just standing around right by the crowd for minutes on end, it can create an unsafe situation.

Trying to get back to the locker room, going one-by-one down the tiny stairwell.

Eventually kickoff came around. It was the final home game for Arizona, senior day, so they had something special planned for the departing seniors playing in their last home game.

The game started, Oregon getting the ball first. Oregon promptly stormed down the field and scored a touchdown.

The Oregon flag made its first appearance in the endzone, while the Oregon Duck did his traditional push-ups in the endzone for every point scored.

The Arizona fans in the endzone seats didn’t appreciate this, and loudly booed the flag runner and threw objects, mainly water bottles, in his general direction tossing objects on the field.

That seemed a bit unnecessary. I can understand booing the flag, but to throw things onto the field is just disrespectful and embarrassing for your own team. They continued to do it after every time Oregon scored. Whenever the Oregon flag appeared, flung garbage from the stands followed.

The game Ducks took a 14-0 lead, but the scoreboard was malfunctioning, so when Arizona scored the board read 7-4 Arizona lead.

Whenever there was a break a few Arizona fans would move through the aisles towards the Duck visitor section we were sitting in with signs about LeGarrette Blount trying to antagonize. Apparently people in Tucson hadn’t heard that our 5th string RB isn’t much of a factor in the game, and it seemed a bit dickish to be walking over into the Oregon section repeatedly to try to start a fight, just enjoy the game guys.

“Blount is about to get smoked”

“Elizabeth Lambert could kick Blount’s ass”

Early on it looked like Oregon might run away with the game, but this just made me more nervous because the same thing happened in 2007, with Oregon losing that game thanks to Dixon tearing up his knee.

The 2nd quarter it was all Arizona, as they stormed back, leaving the game close by halftime. It was anybody’s ballgame in the 2nd half, who wanted it more. The victor of this game would be in the driver’s seat for winning the Pac-10 and earning a Rose Bowl berth, the loser would be all but out of the hunt for the Pac-10 title.

Some players heading in early for halftime

Coming back out of the locker room was the most running LeGarrette Blount (#9) did all night, but Arizona fans sure noticed when he emerged from the tunnel and made his presence known.

In the second half things started to get really interesting. Oregon’s offense stalled, and Arizona took the lead. By the fourth quarter Arizona had a chance to all but put the game away, but kept tripping over themselves making dumb little mental errors. A pass just slightly overthrown to a receiver in the endzone, a missed field goal from close range, an unnecessary penalty…little things started piing up for Arizona, and it was keeping Oregon with a breath of life when they could have completely shut the game down.
Still, it was worrisome, and the crowd was getting raucous sensing an upset over the Ducks. Wilbur, the UA mascot, mocked the Oregon crowd and Duck mascot by throwing bread in their direction “feeding the Ducks,” then brought a box of tissues to the Duck mascot.

Though things started to shift a little. Football is a game of momentum, and one or two little things can completely switch a game. Oddly those two things both occurred on field goal attempts going towards the same goal posts.
First Arizona kicker Max Zendejas missed an easy shortrange field goal at the end of the third quarter. Then in the fourth quarter Oregon kicker Morgan Flint attempted a 43-yard field goal that hit the horizontal cross bar of the goal posts, but took an awkward bounce and managed to go forward through the goal posts. That seemed to re-energize the Ducks, and I commented to Dal and Liz and the other Wildcat fans near me “sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good!”

The game raged on…Oregon scored. Arizona scored. Tit for tat, both teams battled.
Arizona had a chance to burn out the clock to win the game, but they foolishly kept throwing the ball, incomplete passes stopping the clock saving valuable time for Oregon to stay in it. They tried to seal the game away by throwing the ball deep into the endzone on a third down, which Oregon intercepted.

Down a touchdown with two minutes left, following the interception had to go 80 yards and score a touchdown to send the game to overtime. Apparently not realizing the fact that the game was still very much in doubt, some Arizona fans started spilling out from the student section onto the sidelines in preparation of rushing the field.

To the credit of the rest of the Arizona student section and surrounding fans though, a “get off the field!” chant started up telling their moronic brethren to get back in their seats because the game wasn’t over. I smirked a bit thinking, “wow, they’re going to feel really stupid when Oregon scores a touchdown here and sends it to overtime.” I might have said it out loud to Dal, but I can’t recall if I did or not. In post-game interviews with Oregon players, apparently a few saw and thought the same thing I did.

Oregon started moving the chains. A couple dropped passes made things precarious, but when Oregon converted a first down on a 4th and 5 Dal and I just looked at each other and gave a knowing stare, that it was inevitable, a foregone conclusion that Oregon was going to score and send this game to overtime.

Down the field Oregon marched, while a few fans went back to their seats but most remained down on the field mobbing the Arizona sidelines. Sure enough, with six seconds remaining in the game Jeremiah Masoli tossed a pass to Ed Dickson for a touchdown, sending the game to overtime. Right before the snap I shouted out “Ed Dickson! It’s going to Ed Dickson!” Dal just sort of nodded, knowing too that was where it was going. We could read the play from the stands on the opposite end of the field, but apaprently Arizona’s defense couldn’t because sure enough Ed caught it.

To overtime went the game, Dal commented that he had never been to an overtime game before and how mentally exhausted he was by it. I told him about the double OT game at ASU I had attended years prior that Oregon had won.
In overtime Oregon was on a roll, just unstoppable. They quickly stormed down the field and scored a touchdown.
Arizona’s turn, and they too respond with a touchdown…Time for double overtime.

In double OT it was Arizona’s turn first, and their playcalling all of a sudden got very conservative. They ran twice, once with their RB fumbling the ball, and according to Duck fans it was recovered first by Oregon then an Arizona player stripped it away, but the replay screen didn’t show this well enough to comment on it one way or another.
After a filed bubble screen on 3rd down, Arizona kicked a FG. This meant if Oregon scored a touchdown on their overtime possession they won, or they could kick a FG to send it to triple OT.

…It didn’t take long. Oregon RB LaMichael James darted through the line for a big gain, bringing it inside the 10. It was inevitable, only a matter of time. We all knew, zone read option, Masoli would keep the ball and stroll into the endzone.
Once again, even if Arizona knew what was coming, they couldn’t stop it. On 3rd down and short Masoli ran the zone read, kept the ball, and sneaked into the endzone to seal it.
44-41 in double OT, Oregon beats Arizona.

The fans that had mobbed the Arizona sideline must’ve really felt like jackasses, while I jumped with jubilation and Dal just shook his head in amazement as to how the game had transpired while cursing out Zendejas for missing the easy FG that would have prevented the game from going to overtime.

With the Ducks now the frontrunner for the Rose Bowl, I quickly made a paper rose and had Dal snap a photo of me with it with the scoreboard in the background.

Meanwhile, the Oregon team was heading back to the stairwell leading to the locker room while celebrating the unbelievable win. A few Duck players were very exuberant, and understandably so, as players motioned to the Duck section joining in on the celebration taking place by Duck fans in the stands.
One Duck player was a little too excited, safety Javes Lewis, who was off to the side jumping up and down waving his arms. Apparently Arizona fans took this as mocking the crowd, and started throwing a couple things at him. One of his teammates ran over to him and grabbed him, pulling him back towards the team mobbed together trying to slowly make their way down the stairs.

One fan went down onto the field and got in amongst the team and held up a “I SMELL ROSES” sign, in tribute to the team’s run towards the Rose Bowl as well as a reference to the fan-made song & music video that a week earlier had been placed on the internet and overnight become a huge sensation.

(admittedly, the song is effin’ brilliant and hilarious , and I must’ve listened to it 15-20 times on the drive out to Tucson from LA blasting it and shouting “I love my ducks!” into the Arizona night)

Apparently Arizona really didn’t like it.
They didn’t like how the game ended.
They didn’t like how their team had choked the game away.
They didn’t like how long it was taking for Oregon to get into the locker room.
They didn’t like that Oregon players were celebrating the win with the contingent of Duck fans, which happens at EVERY road game I’ve ever attended…but apparently in Tucson and Tucson only this is to be taken as a great insult, and some of the Arizona fans chose to retaliate.

From the corner endzone seats, debris started flying. At first it was just a bottle or two aimed at Javes Lewis jumping up and down, then it picked up momentum. Soon it was raining water bottles onto the Oregon players and personnel down on the field, and in the general direction of the elated Oregon fans celebrating the amazing double OT victory.
Water bottles turned into other objects, for about 3 minutes it seemed like anything that wasn’t bolted down was being thrown at anyone not wearing Arizona red. Not all Arizona fans were participating, but any were.

Dal was ready to attack any Arizona fan he saw throwing things, he was furious screaming at them to knock it off. Duck players started pushing to get into the stairwell to get off the field as quickly as possible. One cheerleader got hit in the side of the head with a full water bottle and was knocked unconscious, and had to be taken to a local hospital overnight for observation after suffering a severe concussion.

Duck players got hit with debris, cheerleaders and personnel on the field got hit, Duck fans in the stands got hit.
It was embarrassing and as close to a riot scene as I have ever witnessed. 99% instigated by Arizona fans, the smart ones were leaving while the idiotic ones were trying to start fights with Duck fans. When they got angry that Duck fans wouldn’t retaliate to their taunts, they instead started taking it out on the Tucson police and security staff that had formed in the general area.

Things were still being lobbed when Dal, Liz, and I made it to the tunnel to exit the stands. It looked like a riot was going to break out at any second, and we wanted o part of it. I couldn’t imagine anything like this happening at Autzen Stadium, but I did recall an episode where water bottles were thrown into the endzone after a game in 2002 or 2003 after repeatedly atrocious referee calls went against Oregon…but this wasn’t about the refs making bad calls, or the team being cheated out of the game…Arizona was just outplayed in the final minutes, and the Arizona fans wanted their revenge for it. Rather than just take some solace in the fact that they were there to witness one of the greatest football games in recent memory, without question the best football game played all of this year, they instead wanted to exact their revenge…on an Oregon cheerleader?

In the end all they did was further embarrass themselves, their school, their program, and their city. Shame really, considering how well Arizona played they should have been damn proud of their team, but instead sunk to an all-time low, and firmly entrenching my opinion that Arizona on average has the absolute worst, the dumbest, the most classless fans of any school I have ever seen. To storm the field prematurely, then shower the opponent with garbage after the game was just beyond classless, and after the events that had transpired in the 2007 game my opinion of them was pretty low to begin with. I know individuals don’t define the program, and Dal and Liz are both cool Arizona fans…but wow, a LOT of Arizona fans completely embarrassed their program.

Surprisingly, for as much animosity there was in the stands post-game, outside the stadium things were rather solemn. There were a few comments here and there, but for the most part everyone was just stunned over how the game had finished.

The three of us made our way back to the car, and tuned in the postgame show as they ran through the stats and the local Tucson broadcasters tried to justify it. They complimented Oregon on being a great team, complimented their own team for fighting hard, then went through possible scenarios for the remainder of the season.

When I got back to my car at Dal’s place I said my goodbyes to Dal and Liz, then tuned in to listen to more of the postgame show. It wasn’t until I reached the outskirts of Tucson that they started taking phone calls, and almost every single call didn’t address the game itself, but the postgame.

I listened to Arizona fans call in all in order profusely apologizing to Oregon and saying that they were embarrassed to be Wildcat fans and embarrassed for the city of Tucson, that the actions of a handful of thugs could absolutely embarrass the city and program the way they did. While they were proud of their team, I was surprised at how apologetic the fans were that were calling in…So I guess not all Arizona fans are jerks, just the ones in the stands in the corner endzone. Though while listening to this I kept getting flipped off for my Duck flags, and one large Ford truck tried to run me off the road. Yeah, I was very glad to be getting out of Tucson. Dal and Liz had treated me well, but outside of that my opinion of Tucson was re-affirmed that its full of classless thugs, and the closer I got to Phoenix the better off I felt.

I tried to call in to the sports talk show to give the perspective of the Oregon fan who had been there right in the heart of the post-game atrocities, but the signal started to fade as I got outside of Tucson and eventually hung up.

A quick drive back to Phoenix and I was back at Stephanie’s place around 1am, to tell her all about the disgusting display shown by the Arizona fans marring what should have been an otherwise amazing game experience.

A much longer nap, and I was back on the freeway headed back to LA, stopping at the same Mobil gas station in Quartzsite once more, and back home.

You can’t give this stuff away – everyone around me is bloated, gassy, and tired of leftovers. How lucky we are when we think of those around us so less fortunate. Tomorrow, on to new food!
The day before Thanksgiving was still a subtle gray, the front went through and all the rain promised was a farce. We got very little over here.   Thanksgiving morning looked like a black and white photograph, the color drained from the landscape and sky, the lake the mirror reflecting the void of color  
Finally the sun broke through and we went away to eat our dinner.
Came back late and went to bed with a belly full! Our host and hostess, my nephew and niece did an outstanding job of keeping us loaded. Plus we all enjoy seeing Irving the tortoise.
He’s so full of contrasting lines and testure. He also follows you like a dog and his favorite food is hibiscus flowers. He weighs about 175lbs now.  He has many birthdays to go. He’s still just passing puberty and is a horny little devil, he has a flower pot he loves to hump.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrW59oLXmY0&feature=player_embedded  (cut and paste to see yourself)    Irving is in love with this hardshell!
Black Friday came and went, I did not shop, nor did I go anywhere Saturday, it was relaxing not to be spending money. That will go by the wayside soon enough. My daughter said to wait for black Monday, great buys on the internet.
Nature itself goes on, and these are shots I took today. The weather is very cold, low 60’s today, in 40’s the past nights, that is so cold Ringo slept next to me! In fact, he usually will ring the bell attached to the inside front door handle around 4:30am to go out, when I opened the door to let him out, he felt the cold and turned and went back to bed.  Also, the herons, male and female have both been coming to the lake as I fish, tonight, they were touching beaks and making noises that seems like the mating rituals are taking place.  They are nesting nearby, I suppose maybe babies will be coming near New Years????
The band of brothers were the first thing I saw outside this morning, they are still actively patrolling the lake. But an hour later, a pair of mallards came to relax.  An anhinga was next door getting ready to fly off and when he saw me, that was exactly what he did.
the spider lily was blooming.  
A baby moorhen was running away from me too.
but not the wren, he was calm.
The lily pad looked interesting, like a non conformist among the conservatives.  The day flew by and it was too cold for me to fish, but I took a few pictures before the sun went down.  The moon was soft and muted.

Have a wonderful night…

Happened to catch this fella trying to show off for the ladies.

So back in September on the opening night of the college football season LeGarrette Blount did something really dumb…we get it. We’ve seen the replay of it a thousand times.
Other things have happened this season that were as atrocious, and didn’t get anywhere near the attention that Blount’s punch did.

The poor guy has suffered enough, but the media has refused to let it go. While Oregon has improbably rebounded from that opening loss to now being in the driver’s seat for winning the conference and going to their first Rose Bowl game since 1994, all the media cares about is talking more about the Oregon player that threw a punch after a game two months ago.

It’s been such an obsession with the sports media that Blount should probably seek a restraining order against ESPN, as it has reached stalker level. Every article has to mention Blount, every video analysis of the team somehow squeezes in a Blount mention.

Nevermind the fact that he hasn’t played a single down for the team sine the incident, they just won’t let it go.
At games almost half the signs opposing fans make mention Blount. Every news story about Oregon mentions Blount. Every ‘expert’ mentions the incident back in September.

So when it was announced that Blount was being reinstated to the team for the 11/14/2009 game vs. Arizona State, ESPN immediately jumped on board. A game that everybody knew would be a big blowout and not of much interest was suddenly selected to be broadcast nationally on ESPN as a night game. Mere coincidence? Not a chance, base don their coverage.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m always happy when my Ducks get broadcast nationally, but when its done simply for he-said/she-said slanderous soap opera BS stuff, that pisses me off. ESPN didn’t care about the game, all they wanted to do was milk their exploitation of LeGarrette Blount a little bit more than they already had for the previous two months.

It was obvious this was ESPN’s angle when the first words of the broadcast were “He’s back, LeGarrette Blount.” They said ‘LeGarrette Blount’ twelve times during the broadcast before the game even began.

Nevermind the fact that Blount was the 5th string RB on the team, ESPN dedicated a camera at the broadcast solely to follow around LeGarrette Blount wherever he went, whatever he did. It wasn’t a broadcast of the ASU @ Oregon game, it was a broadcast of ‘let’s further exploit and vilify this kid who made one dumb mistake months ago, set to the backdrop of a football game.’

ESPN disgusts me in general in the way they’ve turned into nothing more than sports-related soap opera gossip, but this game broadcast went over the line…

So I made a video about it, exposing just how ridiculous and wrong ESPN was to calculate their game broadcast in this manner. ESPN should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for the way they handled this, and maybe…just maybe, somebody will see this video I made and recognize for a second how effed up it was for them to handle their broadcast in this manner.

ESPN, screw you for vilifying a kid that didn’t deserve it. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Count with me the number of ‘Blount’ references they make during the broadcast…

LeGarrette Blount’s final stats for the game:
0 carries
0 yards
0 minutes played
40 mentions of his name during the broadcast

40????
40????
Are you kidding me ESPN? You felt the need to mention the 5th string running back 40 times?
You are pathetic ESPN, go back and remember what you were like once upon a time, when you actually cared about sports and broadcasting them…Because you’ve forgotten how to properly do that long ago.

It was time to say goodbye to the Pacific Northwest and start heading back to LA, I was due back at work on Monday.
The plan was to drive down to Sacramento Friday, stay at my buddy Smitty’s place, and then drive to the bay area the next morning to attend the Oregon-Stanford game, meeting up with our buddy Kyle who had flown in for the game.

It was an easy drive down to Sacramento, just like on the initial trip up it rained perpetually almost until the exact moment I crossed the border back into California where suddenly the skies cleared and it turned sunny again.

Somehow even when the sun is shining in Oregon, it’s still raining…

The next morning Smitty and I prepped for the game, heading out the door in separate cars so that I didn’t have to backtrack several hours after the game, would just be able to head straight to LA after it was over. The Ducks were coming off a huge win over USC the previous week, and we were confident the Ducks could take down Stanford for the 8th straight time.

I love the new Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto. It used to be the worst, most pathetic stadium in the Pac-10 conference. Originally built in the 20s, the stands were basically held up with chicken wire and 2×4s with dirt underneath the bleachers and a huge track around the field making the action far away from the stands…just a bad gameday experience all around, and with Stanford perennially fielding crappy teams there usually were more Duck fans at the games then Stanford fans, and those that were there were extremely apathetic.

But a couple years back they basically tore down most of the old stadium and rebuilt it. They reduced the umber of seats to one of the smallest stadiums in the conference, but the facility is gorgeous. There’s not a bad seat in the house, the sound system is pristine, they have hi-def flat screens throughout the tunnel underneath so that you never miss a moment of the action, and tickets are still some of the cheapest around.

“Oregon Expressway” leads to Stanford stadium, I thought that was a good omen, not a curse.

Smitty and I got there in plenty of time before the game, but after repeated calls couldn’t coordinate an appropriate meeting place with Kyle so Smitty and I got our cheap tickets and went in.

I like Stanford, but I really hate their mascot. I loathe their freakin’ tree, I just want to smack that stupid smile off its face. Their band is as boorish and classless as it gets, always going out of their way to be as insulting as possible.

When fans start dressing up as the Stanford tree, it makes me hate their mascot even more.

…And when that effin’ tree marched by in front of the Stanford band, I seriously for a moment considered rushing it and tackling that damn tree, oh I hate it so much.

The Stanford band during the pregame made fun of the old 80s computer game Oregon Trail, and halftime they spent their entire show making fun of LeGarrette Blount and the punch fiasco two months earlier at Boise State.

Pregame Smitty and I found our seats in the second deck of the west endzone, and soon enough the team took the field.

Stanford couldn’t match up to Oregon as far as talent, but there was a concern…Stanford has a big bruising power back named Toby Gerhart, an old school 3 yards and a could of dust style throwback to the earlier days of football. Oregon hadn’t really faced a guy like that, so much of college football now is based on spread offense and team speed, and Oregon’s defensive line is very undersized to maximize team speed. If Stanford could move the chains controlling the clock with Gerhart, they could keep Oregon’s offense the field and win. It didn’t seem possible that anyone this year could outscore Oregon, but maybe they could prevent them from being on the field to score.

Very early on our fears came true. Stanford was able to get 5-6 yards a pop with Gerhart carrying the ball, and their freshman QB Andrew Luck was near perfect throwing deep play-action passes into tiny windows where it didn’t seem possible. Perfect coverage was getting beat by perfect throws, and very quickly Stanford built a big lead.

The Ducks struck back, Oregon’s RB LaMichael James scoring on a 60-yard touchdown run. But for every punch Oregon threw, Stanford countered. Oregon just couldn’t stop Stanford all day, and by the second half it was getting out of hand. Oregon started a comeback, but mental errors were taking their toll. Oregon’s QB Jeremiah Masoli had a great game, playing in front of about 200 family members (he’s from the bay area, an entire Duck section was just Masoli’s family and friends), but his receivers kept dropping catchable passes. Multiple passes that could have very easily been touchdowns were incomplete, and by the 4th quarter things looked out of reach.

The yellow section was entirely comprised of Masoli’s family and friends, all wearing special Masoli #8 jerseys.

But the Ducks kept fighting, and after a couple defensive stops Oregon was within reach of tying it. A couple key drops though that would have been touchdowns came back to bite the team, while burning off the clock. Oregon came within a touchdown, but the onside kick was botched horribly and Stanford recovered. Gerhart kept pounding it, and the Ducks suffered their first conference loss of the season.

During the game I noticed my buddy Max was sitting right below us (wearing the #12 green jersey during the famous Oregon Green Man)

Gerhart set a school rushing record, with 38 carries for 223 yards on the ground. The entire game was basically just Toby up the middle, Toby up the middle, Toby up the middle, Toby up the middle…but the Ducks couldn’t stop it. so they kept on doing it.
It was the first time Oregon had lost to Stanford since 2001, and I can’t remember the last time Oregon had lost at Stanford, probably sometimes in the 90s.

I hate that damn tree so much, worst mascot ever.

As Stanford fans stormed the field, I tried to assess what had happened.
51-42.

It shouldn’t have happened that way. Oregon had guys open, but dropped easy touchdowns. They burned too much time, and just couldn’t stop Toby Gerhart picking up first downs with 5-yard dive plays. It was so frustrating to know exactly what was coming, but the defense just couldn’t stop it. Still, if only guys had caught the ball when it hit their hands, and had executed a decent onside kick near the end, the Ducks had a chance to tie it to go to overtime. Oh well, time to re-group and prepare for Arizona State back in Oregon the next week.

Smitty and I tried to reach Kyle after the game, but he was having cell phone issues. We considered finding a local sports bar, but figured it would be packed full of ‘Furd fans and we were both really depressed following the Oregon loss, so we just hit the road. Eventually by the freeway we split, Smitty heading north back to Sacramento and me headed south back to Los Angeles.

I had driven 3,000 miles in a week, bouncing all over Oregon and Washington visiting friends and family, attending two Oregon Ducks football games, and due back at work Monday morning. I had a week’s worth of programs on the DVR to catch up on, and to watch the TV broadcasts of the two games I had attended.

We just released our Oregon class of 2010 top 30 player list. In its overall abilities of the players I consider the list average to slightly below.  It is typically dominated by pitching—especially right-handed pitching—and is again this year.

It is void of as many upside athletes as there ahs been in the last few years (especially last year with Pearson, Poyer, Nylen, and Urness).  Wetzler held his top spot from last year but was hindered a lot in his development this summer with injuries, but we felt like no one else stepped up to take that spot.

The top 20 did not change much in names but some in order.  Not sure what that means…did we have it that much right last year?  Right handed pitcher Brad Shipley and right handed pitcher Tom Zarosinski made the biggest jumps on the list. New to the list are Reser, Metcalf, Swinford, Kaiser, Paxton, and Dean.

10 of the top 18 have signed letter of intents last week in the early signing period with OSU—Wetzler, Kendall, Drury, Zaronski, and Moeller.

University of Portland made an impact with the signing of Nice, Cornish, and Gill. Nice and Cornish showed improvement on our fall scout teams this fall.

I hope it is not a trend that the University of Oregon doesn’t sign an Oregon player. In fact the Ducks did not sign any Northwest players.  Hopefully that will change in April for the next signing period.

More of this list will make Division 1 commitments next spring. Remember last spring right-handed pitcher Sam Gaviglo from Ashland High School did not sign until late May and turned into the Beaver’s ace at the end of the year as a freshman.

Baseball Northwest’s ranking of Northwest players is done to highlight the regions’ top prospects as evaluated by the Baseball Northwest professional evaluators. It is done to promote and inspire players and also to promote the game. Some college and high school coaches, and professional scouts are consulted but the final lists are put together by the Baseball Northwest staff as a whole. The lists do not reflect the opinion of any specific high school, college, or professional organization.

The evaluaters consider the LONG TERM POTENTIAL OF A PLAYER, the potential of a player at the next level, and not necessarily the success or stats of a high school player.

All players listed have been thouroughly seen by the Baseball Northwest staff to be evaluated—even if the player has not attended a Baseball Northwest event, although nearly all have done so. Baseball Northwest understands the difficulty in ranking players, but no one sees all these players as much as the Baseball Northwest staff. Players develop at different rates and at different times. The complete ability of the player is considered, including their desire to play and improve, because this has proven to make a difference in their long term development.

Players are generally listed at the position or positions they will likely play at the next level. BBNW has a history of tracking the top players. We consider many more players than appear on our lists. The Watch List sections are those players we are considering for the top player section. We have likely missed a player that should be considered—we will add or subtract from the list throughout the year.

Please email us if you would like to recommend a player in any class for consideration. Enjoy the lists—it takes many hours to complete. Rely on Baseball Northwest for information found no-where else. Please obtain permission from Baseball Northwest for reproduction of all or any parts of this information.

I did very well on my picks yesterday.  The problem was I relied too much on parlays again.

I went 2-1 on the NFL games and 2-0 on the NHL games.  The problem was I lost all 3 NFL parlays because of the Giants. I still managed to break even but you shouldn’t just be breaking even if your record is 4-1 (80%).

I could blame the lackluster Giants for blowing my parlays but the truth of the matter is I got too greedy and overconfident. I parlayed my picks, then I did a 6pt teaser in case they didn’t quite cover the spread, then I parlayed the games straight up. I was conifident the Giants would win, I just wasn’t confident in Dallas winning by 14.

Here is the lesson: Never play a parlay unless you can make up for the loss by winning about 65% of your picks.

In otherwords, I should have been able to at least break even as long as 2 teams won.  Instead, I had to rely on my NHL games to bring me back up. With a winning percentage currently at 75-80%, covering losses with a 65% winning rate is reasonable.

Anyway, we got some good games coming up today in NHL and NBA. I’ll give you all my picks later this afternoon but here are some games to start your day. I’ll have some NCAA football picks for you later today as well.

NBA: Phoenix vs Minnesota: PHO -9.5

This game is strong enough to play straight. No buying points needed today.

Straight up parlay: PHO, POR, BOS, SAC

These games are strong enough to play straight up but I give no guarantees on spreads (other than the Suns, which I still don’t “guarantee,” obviously). I’d especially stay clear of Boston’s spread as they are in an 0-6 ATS rut and 2-10 in their last 12 games ATS.

NHL:

Atlanta vs Carolina SU (-115)

This is one of the strongest games in my NHL GF System, but one of the lowest moneylines. 

Parlay: ATL (vs CAR), CHI (vs ANA), PHI (vs BUF), FLOR (vs TOR)

I usually just do parlays with NHL because it’s too hard to play the spreads and the lines are often too much to make it worth while.  I like these picks though as the Thrashers (ATL) are 7-2-1 on the road (Carolina is 3-0 at home in it’s last 3 games but all were to losing teams), Chicago’s Hossa had a strong debut with 2 goals and should continue his dominance, the Flyers are getting Briere back and looked strong even without him, and Florida is 5-0-3 since Nov 12th and 4-0 against Toronto in their last 4 meetings(The Panthers have lost 3 straight at home but all were in OT, and all were to winning teams).

Quaak

What a day for basketball and hockey! It doesn’t look like there are any NBA games I can play straight but I still have a few teasers to do.

Hockey, on the otherhand, has produced quite a few nice plays, but the moneyline is a little too weak for some of them to actually be playable.  I don’t go less than -150.

By the way, the NHL game you can watch for free tonight is Chicago Blackhawks vs San Jose Sharks. It should be a good game.  Just click on that link once the game starts and you should see a “watch live” button somewhere.

Also, this is going to be a quick pick day again as I am too busy to write out the full details.  And I’m putting my O/U picks on hiatus until I find a good system for that.

First, my NBA picks:

DEN VS MIN; DEN -4.5 (bought 4)

NJ VS POR; POR -11.5 (bought 1)

GS VS SA; GS +17.5 (bought 4)

NY VS SAC; SAC +2.5 (bought 7)

I played Portland as a straight wager with a 1 point buy.  I also included the Blazers in a few teasers, which included the other teams:

4pt teaser: POR -8.5, DEN -4.5, GS -17.5

7pt teaser: POR -5.5, DEN -1.5, GS -20.5

7pt teaser: SAC +2.5, DEN -1.5, GS -20.5

And for the NHL games, I just did a 3-team parlay as that makes the most sense.  Why bet straight on a bunch of  -200 teams when you can combine them to give you a 3-to-1 payout? Normally it’s not quite that good of a payout, I don’t think.  I’m pretty sure sportsbook.com is doing some Thanksgiving promotion on parlays.

Parlay:

MON vs PIT

CAR vs ANA

TOR vs TB

There were others that showed up as strong games but since I’m just getting into the NHL again and this system is so new I didn’t want to get greedy.  I’ll call them on here, but just know I didn’t bet on these.

PHI vs NYI

OTT vs NJ

BUF vs WAS

STL vs DAL

NAS vs COL

PHO vs CAL

I wonder how many excited travellers to Norway will come across this page just because of the title. And quite truthfully there is nothing in this post about Trondheim. I guess there is as I’ve just mentioned it, but that’s it! Might as well stop now, you Norsk fjord-lovers. No more Viking references here, Bjorn…

So… ducks. A comment by WittyKitty on one of my posts led me to thinking about rabbits. Which in turn led me to thinking about animals in general. So, Trondheim notwithstanding, this entry is on the subject of all creatures, great and small, starting with ducks. Have a listen to this:

Sinister Ducks

Alan Moore, writer of such influential graphic novels as Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell, under the nom de plume Translucia Baboon, formed the Sinister Ducks “to warn people”. This is among my all time favourite humourous songs. And now you know. You have learned about their evil ways.

Moving on, let’s talk sheep. Anyone over there in the USA heard of the Streets? They’re a tremendously popular band in England. Never been able to figure out why, myself, since I’d rather listen to my own digestive system playing up, but each to their own.

They’re classed (according to Wikipedia – how can anything contributed to by people called things like Turnip, Penisulagal and Wiggly! be wrong?) as “UK Garage” or “British Hip Hop”. Just so you know what we’re talking about here, this is the streets:

Familiarise yourself with the ’style’ and the beat and so on. Then listen to this:

Yes, Chris Moyles on the radio as one of his many song parodies created the Bleats. Just too good, really. So… sheep bleat. And on we go to Rabbits.

Or more specifically, wabbits. I heard this track years ago and was led to believe that it was Metallica. It’s actually not, but it does sound like them, and to continue our animal music theme, it seems appropriate. Laugh your socks, pants, and retainers off to this:

Have you had enough yet? Really? Not yet? Then let’s move on…

Here’s a simple one for you. I can’t believe anyone out there has not seen badgers? But if not, this flash movie ate about three weeks of my life back when I worked with the shiny one at Soulless Corporation (TM)

There were many follow ups, but none had the sheer style of the original. I will now spend the rest of the day occasionally shouting “mushroom, mushroom.”

Well that’s me set for the rest of the day. How’s y’all?

Badger, badger, badger…

Afternoon update: As an extension of my regular use of the word “Smoo”, I have occasionally expanded to saying “Smoot”. And just now I finally looked up Smoot to see if it exists. And I am so blown away with the result, I had to pass on the word. Smoot lives and I shall be using it all the more.

Check out Smoot here.

After a tense day of frantic last-minute exhortations to friends and allies the world over, the voting at Reel13.org has closed, and “Be Like a Duck” has emerged victorious!  It will be broadcast on Channel Thirteen this Saturday night at 11 PM, following An Affair to Remember.

I had a lot of fun today watching the “Be Like a Duck” cause be taken up enthusiastically by my Facebook friends and e-mail contacts.  At close of voting, we had garnered 710 votes, a nice ways ahead of our closest competitor’s 645; however, that outcome was far from certain (we were behind this morning), and it took a real grass-roots effort to put us over the top.  It truly was heart-warming to see my friends and family (and their friends and family) rally around the “Duck” banner.

It’s also worth noting that the vote totals for all three films were way beyond anything seen on Reel13 in the two weeks prior.  Last week, “Spirits” won without even breaking 100!  Nothing like a little competition to get the pulse racing …

Our thanks to all those who voted.  Be sure to tune in Saturday night!

Do you know that duck quacks are very important? This is how they try to get your attention. They may have sensed trouble and would like you to know about it. Smaller ducks quack because they are hungry or they need to go outside and play. Simply put, duck quacks are normal.

However, you also do not want your duck to quack non-stop. It will piss off not only you but also your neighbors and even guests. If you are planning to live in an apartment or condominium, tenants would be reluctant to accept you just because your duck cannot be kept quiet.

That is why it is a good thing that you already have an ally to training your duck quacks, and it is not human. It is simply a birdhouse.

Safe Birdhouse

You can call this product as Safe Duck quack Detection Birdhouse. As its name suggests, it looks like the usual house you have for those tiny birds that happen to find home in your garden. It is dainty, sweet, charming, and definitely undetectable by your pets.

These birdhouses are well-designed that they can go perfectly with the landscape you have in your lawn. You can hang it on a tree or simply mount it in a place that is no higher than five feet. You will not have any issues on how you will do that as the product already comes with mounting and hanging provisions.

But the magic of birdhouses not lies on their design but how they train your duck to control their quacks.

How They Work

These birdhouses have 50-feet range. This means that any quak that goes within such limit would immediately be detected. If your duck quakes and the device happens to pick the sound up, the device will automatically send out ultrasonic sounds. These types are not heard by humans. Thus, you do not have to think about disturbing your neighbors or guests by such sounds.

However, because ducks have sensitive ears, they would be able to hear the sound. The high-pitch noise will be enough to capture the attention of your ducks and stop quaking. As time goes on, your pet will also realize the relationship between his or her quacks and the sounds produced. Eventually, he or she will stop quaking uncontrollably.

The Advantages

The main advantage of using the birdhouse is you do not need to attach duck quack collars to them. Your duck can still move freely and would not be bothered by any equipment attached to their necks. The device also does not harm your or your neighbors’ other pets.

Moreover, the outdoor duck quack control detection birdhouse runs on a battery, so you can still save on electricity. You will just know when you need to change them by looking at the 2 LED indicators.

Since the level of correction your duck needs will improve during the course of time, it’s essential that you can also adjust the operational and sensitivity level of your device. This birdhouse has 4 and 3 of them, respectively.
