The Washington Canard
Where C-SPAN is the local TV news

DA DA DUH

Now, that was a great half of Oregon football. Where Kellen Clemens could go 7 for 10 and Matt Leinart couldn't connect 50% of his throws. Where Reggie Bush was carrying 7 yards per carry less than his usual. Where the refs were in our pocket, at least until our second touchdown (I'll count it, even if they didn't). Where we could claim a victory in the press no matter what happened after the half. Where the stache-lack seemed an afterthought.

Had Knute Rockne's innovations included the 30-minute game, we would be on top of the world right now, and looking forward to a championship season of our own. Alas... something else happened. I started pounding pints a few minutes into the third quarter, so, I guess I don't really have much more to say. Except that if Yuengling is the Weinhard's of the mid-Atlantic, I'd rather be in Oregon.

Anyway, the Washington Canard sure seems like the Eugene Canard right now, doesn't it? I'll try to post something District-oriented soon. But now, I must weep.
