Former Duck QB Danny O'Neil (no relation to Ryan, Redmond, or Tatum) thinks Oregon is looking ahead to USC rather than focusing on Washington. (According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times)
"My mind says the USC game is the season-changer, from a good season to a great one," says O’Neil, looking ahead like so many others to next week. "But if the Oregon Ducks agree with me, they’ll lose at Washington."
ESPN.com's Ted Miller, a day after saying the Huskies won't make a bowl game this year, picks the Huskies to beat Oregon Saturday, 30-27. Miller also says it's going to be "nasty fun'' at Husky Stadium Saturday.
This week's upset special! Plenty of reasons why it could happen, from Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli's questionable knee, to the Huskies' renewed fire, to Oregon looking ahead to USC. But I've just got a hunch. (And, yes, this prediction is inconsistent with my "Second-half outlook for Oregon. Let's just call this one a feverish vision.)
Thanks to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times for digging up these tasty tid bits!
This is one of the more humerous stories of the week. Some wealthy UW alumni in Portland pulled this one off with a little donation. If you are in the Portland area send us a photo!
The Willamette Light Brigade plans to light the Morrison Bridge in downtown Portland in Purple and Gold this week. Ironic/angering timing considering the UW UO football game this weekend. Even as a diehard 3rd generation Beaver alumni this frustrates me. I can’t remember any OSU or UO heritage weeks recently? And to do that while 20000 duck fans drive by each day? I already emailed the contact at their website encouraging them to prepare for some serious flack from Duck/Pac10 Fans.

Lunch rush out in Oregon
Not a lot of posting going on at lunch hour because all the drive thru’s are busy. You can’t type and supersize at the same time!
John, I honestly do not understand how you can take “Danny O’Neil thinks Oregon is looking ahead to USC rather than focusing on Washington” when reading his quote. He said “My mind says the USC game is the season-changer.” So that’s obviously his opinion, not the opinion of the team. He then makes very clear that if the team has the same attitude as him, they’ll lose at Washington. The if seems to clearly imply that O’Neil doesn’t know that teams attitude one way or the other.
It’s obvious we disagree on how the team is treating this game. I’m fine with that. But your claim about O’Neil is simply false.

the quote does imply that O'Neil is looking past UW, but not necessarily the team.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
hope you got chipotle-away
Blood stains are rough.

major fabrication? like Jake tweeting that he was glad WTIII was injured? please, easy on the drama.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
It was taken from condotta's blog in the Seattle Times word for word
Just posting and pasting what we are seeing.
I read Condotta...
and then the article and then said, “Condotta likes to stir the pot, a la Canzano.”
Not quite....
Here’s Condotta’s quote: “Danny O’Neil says he worries that the Ducks may be thinking too much about USC and not UW this week.”
Here’s yours: "Danny O’Neil thinks Oregon is looking ahead to USC rather than focusing on Washington"
First Condotta’s statement is a bit of an exaggeration, IMO, but then you take that to the next level by stating this as fact. Condotta at least has some conditions on his statement. Yours was stated like it were fact.

Could someone pls explain to me
how the opinion of a former Oregon player who hasn’t suited up for more than 15 years is worth arguing about?
If ya can't get your Dick Enright, get your Dick Harter!
correction
hasnt suited up in almost 15 years…
If ya can't get your Dick Enright, get your Dick Harter!
I love you Old Ducker
Exactly spot on…it doesn’t matter at all…same with all us pretenders posting on the blog….the game will be decided on the field as usual. Should be a pretty good game.

the more talk there is about overlooking someone
the less likely it is too occur. cause you know both teams read these blogs constantly.
I'm tired of next year. Win now!

My, My. MY…KJR reporting the Oregon Ducks turned back a huge amount of tickets from it’s allotment. lol

Well...
They realize they can buy all they want from Husky fans at the stadium so they don’t have to sit in crummy end zone seats. Believe me…there will be plenty of Duck fans at the game.
