Last week was a rough one in football — emotionally, spiritually, financially — but move on we must.
The Huskies get the first shot at vengeance when they face the hated Oregon Ducks today. In the name of all that is good and holy, we’ll take the Dawgs plus the 13 points.
The Border War is known for bad blood, including prolonged victory celebrations, Duck fans throwing dog biscuits and urine at Husky players, and coaches ratting each other out for recruiting violations. Ah, the good old days.
Now, the best the players can come up with is Oregon’s Nick Reed saying, “It’s a team that we just don’t like, apparently.” Apparently? Oh, them’s fightin’ words!
Meanwhile, the Cougars don’t play this week, which slightly improves their prospects for avoiding another loss. It also gives coaches time to work on their resumes.
On Sunday, we’ll take the Seahawks to cover the 8-point spread against their own division rival, the winless St. Louis Rams.
The injury-riddled Rams will be taking volunteers to play offensive line. You must be 300 pounds and able to run to the refrigerator.
