With all the talk centered around Oregon State and their magical, dreamy, precious run for the roses, it can make even your die-hard Duck fan feel a little helpless. Everybody says, “Oregon State to the Rose Bowl,” and “Rodgers brothers for tandem-Heisman,” and “Mike Riley, coach, man and human of the century!” Well, I say no. Here’s why:
- The Bellotti bye. Coach Mike is a solid 14-2 in games with an extra week to prepare. But that’s boring. I have better reasons…
- Dad’s Decision. I haven’t missed a Civil War in Corvallis since 2000. In 1998, I watched the game in the same house as ma and pa. This year, the folks’ two extra tickets sure to be mine were given to more like-minded orange-clad citizens. I’ll be attending the game from my couch in San Diego. Your fate is sealed Beaver Nation. The curse of Reser has already been broken.
- Righteous Revenge. Last year was just unfair. Something is seriously wrong with the world for allowing that to go on. 157% of the team succumbing to injury, yet battling in the Civil War for a game-winning kick only to seriously mismanage the final 20 seconds and lose in OT? No, I refuse to believe the cosmos don’t want to atone for that.
- Counter-shaving. The Beavers have No-Shave November. I say shave every free moment you have. The mojo of the scruff can be counter-acted. I only shave once a week (nothing wrong with a little scruff…usually), but I’m diligently ditching whiskers. I’m shaving right now while I type. Norelco, Gillette, whatever, I’m using them all. I’ve got my game face off.
- It’s an all-Oregon kind of week. The Oregon basketball puppies run Alabama out of the gym in Hawaii, cross country wins another national title, while the women take 2nd and I’m sure a win over #1 North Carolina is upcoming tonight. Right? Well, I can dream.
- Because an Oregon win is what I want dammit! And shouldn’t I get what I want?
Feel free to disagree with my reasoning, but you’d be wrong.
