WSU GameDay Thread: Will it be DeRuyter Day?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Whenever we play the Cougars, I think of how fan bases really share the common hate of the Huskies.

52-29? Just Like the “Good Ol’ Days!” And Time to Give Credit…

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Admit it…with the way the offense was scoring on Saturday with the crowd roaring and all the explosion plays–it felt like the “Good Ol’ Days,” didn’t it?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

I’m a muttering-mass-of-protoplasm again after a Duck game, but this time to the positive.

About Booing: Cristobal Lives in the River City….De-Nile

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Pretty stunning, wasn’t it?  All the booing in Autzen, and over so many plays. This wasn’t about your typical disagreement with the coach over going for it (or not) on 4th down, or an occasional bad play call. This was a venting by the Autzen faithful. Frustrations with Coach Mario Cristobal have been simmering with a minority of fans over …

Cal GameDay: A 2021 Crossroads Game?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

I cannot recall such a different vibe that I receive from Oregon fans going into this Cal game, as it is so unusual coming out of a bye week.
