An Open Letter, Quack Quack

Dear Jeremiah et al: Thank you, first of all, for ensuring that all of Oregon gets to have the incredibly cool experience of watching you guys duke it out with Quizz and Canfield next weekend for a trip to the Rose Bowl. Everyone is super excited. Really. Super psyched.

In light of this totally historic season, you might think that I'm being kind of ungrateful, but I feel like I need to ask,

for the next game can you not win in double overtime? A double overtime that you only ended up in because you scored a TD with like, I don't know, under 20 seconds left in regulation?

I'm not asking for me. I mean, it was definitely a game that was too close to comfort for me. But I'm really asking for Bruce. He's not as young as he used to be. And if YOU saw him sitting in his leather recliner, in front of that giant new television, white knuckling it for the 15 minutes or so that it took to decide the game, you'd understand why it might be more healthy for him if you could just play, from now on, with a commanding lead. Really. The Dorseys would all totally appreciate it.

And really guys, I'm not trying to take anything from you. It's awesome. Go Ducks.

Dude I laughed all through reading that and am now laughing as I type, I totally know how he felt. I was watching the game at a The Rock Pizza, which you should check out btw, anyway I was with all chicks and for the last fifteen minutes I was standing up by the tv in the bar yelling "Sonofabitch! Don't Blow it!" over and over again...Who needs that kind of stress in their life, I'm with Bruce...
