Being around Oregon fans and Portland for so long, including during the Chip years, if anything was going to kill my love for college football it would have happened already.
That being said there are new problems.

The Chip years of UW I was dooging enough and happy enough to be winning enough to be happy with bowl games. I also fell for the trap that Sark's recruiting and making big dick hires like Wilcox and Tosh etc was eventually going to level the program up, and it kind of did. It also always seemed like Chip was going to leave Oregon at any minute and they were going to get punished by the NCAA and Stanford was going to slowly regress.
Then the Petersen hire and 2016 opened things up again. Maybe the off season natty noise is just so loud this fucking year combined with everything that happened bad starting after the kickoff against Michigan that has me down?
Would I feel the same if like realistically the players who could have came back came back (DJ, McMillan and/or Polk, Rosengarten, 3 IOL, Muhammad, and maybe even Trice? I guess that's just part of the horrific timing of everything.
The off-season natty noise perpetuated by 20 something kids and fat losers sitting in their basements in Eugene and Columbus has made X virtually unusable. For me.
And yes we have some of our own terrible fans that have brought up the Oregon victories over them way too much. So much of the season was glorious that those fans don't seem to care about. Ass blasting Cal as a send-off. Overcoming the Palo Alto shit. I probably talked more shit to opposing fans at the Utah game more than any other. Speaking of regionality, going to the Oregon State game and celebrating in my hotel was something that won't be replicated going forward, etc.
I'm pretty fired up that UW went out and hired a proven head coach that knows how to be a CEO instead of doing what UCLA did. The rivalry's with the B1G teams is going to be fun.

Is she going as a fan or does she have a role with PSU athletics?
Got on the PSU football beat for the student paper. So has a press pass for every event and game, including road games. Supposedly they go to all road games but USC is the one unknown right now. No one said “oh you have to go to B1G media days” until last week.
They pick 4 total to write for football so she either got really lucky or is a technically gifted writer good at writing. She covered men’s hockey last year and did pretty well with every story she wrote so I guess they figured she could handle the only sport bigger than hockey at PSU and be the only girl on the beat.
After every PSU commitment someone on staff has to watch the kid’s high school tape and provide some breakdown about what PSU is getting in the recruit. I told her she’s a teen boi stalker now and she has been actually using that phrase when she gets the assignment. My next goal is to get a HCH-ism into an article.
We just did a 30 minute pod but there were audio issues we could not resolve. Just now I went and listened to some of it and its unlistenable. I/we are going to look into Riverside again and see if we can find a reasonably priced method to record our shows going forward that will provide better audio quality.
It's a shame. I had so many things to say. Namely, my list of enemies.

Quooking was bad enough in Chehalis. I can imagine how bad it is in your neck of SWWA. I rarely see Oregon fans here in CdA. Mostly Cuogs, Griz, and Donkeys.

Just type up a script of everything you guys said in the podcast so we can read it. Shouldn't be too hard.
Joey's story of meeting Michael Penix was good but anticlimactic. I'll let him type a summary if he so wishes
basically I got in line to get my wife and I drink, when I got my drinks, I turned around to walk back and I looked over at one of the other lines and saw him, and then I tried to talk myself out of it that it was him because it just seems so random to be at Hawaii at a luau of all the places. So then I got back to the table gave my wife a drink and told her I’m about 95% sure that was Michael Penix. She looked up and said oh yeah that’s definitely him. So I walked over because my kids really wanted to picture with him and to meet him and I knew he probably didn’t want to take pictures and be bothered , so I said can we get your picture after the luau gets over because I know you don’t want a bunch of attention probably being brought to you during the whole thing and you just want to be left alone. he agreed and said OK and he’s really shy. Sure enough when it was over he could’ve gotten out of there fast enough. We could see him walking away, but he was at least 100 yards down this paved path and there was no way we were going to catch up with him. I posted a picture of me talking to him in the wigwam.
This reads like a Kerouac novel
It’s hard to tell a good story with a climax when you’re competing with the same story being told by the same guy one second later
Motherfucker. How dare you.gif
I'll have you know, I gots $129.00 tanned, rested and ready for August.
FOTY!
GRUNDLE is alive, I sexted with him last week. He normally takes a long walk this time of year to get some perspective.
