Oregon running backs coach Gary Campbell, when asked about Pac-10/12 running backs, said there’s no way the UW’s Chris Polk ranks among the top-5 backs he’s seen in 29 years: Campbell told The Oregonian:  ”I think (UW’s Chris) Polk is good but he’s not as good as Steven Jackson or Ken Simonton or LaMichael (James) and probably not as good as Reggie Bush.”

Die-hard Cougar, Go-to-Guy Jim Moore, has nothing but nice things to say about Husky Stadium.

Former Husky QB Brock Huard says current Husky Keith Price QB sounds like Avery Ward and plays like Charlie Ward, the former Heisman Trophy winner from Florida. He also reveals that teammates call Price “Teeth” because he’s smiling all of the time. Huard, now an analyst for ESPN and radio host on 710 ESPN, wrote about the top sophomore quarterbacks in the country is this ESPN insider piece.

The Autzen Zoo, an Oregon Ducks fans site, poses this question: How much longer will Oregon own the Northwest?

Ralph Russo of the Associated Press picks the UW to upset Oregon 38-33.


Missed ferry, missing credentials adds up to a day on the couch

Saturday, September 24th, 2011

Living in West Sound, a lot of you who travel to Seattle to watch the Huskies, Mariners, Sounders or Seahawks have probably experienced what I did this morning.

Just missed the ferry, so I had to drive around.

Pain in the you know what. Some days it’s OK, but after a late night of Friday night high school football, I was kinda looking forward to catching a little nap on the way over to the Cal-Washington game.

Turns out I also forgot my press credentials, so I ended up turning around at the first Gig Harbor exit and headed home. Decided to stick it out on the couch.

Here’s the column. http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2011/sep/24/chuck-stark-great-view-of-the-dawgs-from-my/

It’s kinda nice to be home now instead of trying to line up a ferry or drive back around. I guess it works both ways, huh?

I focused most of my column on Keith Price, the UW quarterback who was lights out once again for the Dawgs.

Greg Bell, who writes for the Husky online site, tweeted that Price, who has thrown 14 TD passes in four games, needs one more to move into the Huskies’ all-time top 10 list. And he’s got EIGHT regular season games left.

Crazy, huh?
