Thanks John. I look forward to reading what you saw. I haven’t looked forward to a season this much in a lot of years. Kinda scary, ya know...

I saw a lot of interesting things. Update in the morning. Will be great.

How was the crowd? Attendance wise….

The best part was when Swen tossed up the ball in excitement over catching an interception only to turn into a fumble with a touchdown, had me rolling 🤣

I nearly died. Felt bad for him too. He was embarrassed after he realized what he did.

His honest immediate expression jumping after what he just threw and every action afterwards is what made it gold... We've all been there and I could feel his every emotion in that flash and the next two minutes, but fortunately for me mine wasn't filmed for all to see

i saw that play and I believe there was a flag thrown after Swen threw the ball up in the air. The only thing I can think of he was flagged for an illegal forward pass as that occurred in the end zone it would have been a safety (I believe) if the defense had recovered it.

We love the Beavs, our Oregon team, even though we’re longtime Husky fans/grads. OSU is a true scrappy underdog having to toil in the shadow of uber funded Nike U and their well heeled owner just down the road. Go Beavs, with the exception of just one game!

Jonathan's comment...re: "Both sides did some good stuff", reminds me of Rasheed Wallace... "Both sides played hard!" :-)

I watched the game on PAC 12, some good interviews. What are you seeing/hearing about the ranking of our quarterbacks after today?

I will weigh in on Sunday morning... I have some strong thoughts.

John . I watched the scrimmage with hopeful eyes and came away in awe of Aiden Chiles , our 17 year old QB Whiz !.... wow , is he something to behold , and Soooo young. ! Our QB of the future !! The kid is amazing yo watch !! DJ needs to relax more , have fun, relax some more , and relax some more . He seems very tentative and unsure at this point, so early. When he “ Loosens up” and has fun , then he will be good !

We have a long way yet until Fall football season . The Black Bandits of Benton County , look great , relaxed, and having fun with their team mates - that’s great !

I have been enjoying reading your posts, but the way your site handles pictures needs work. Try clicking through them sometime.

Cheers.
