Oregon beat Washington on Saturday. Mario Cristobal was officially sworn in as the Ducks' coach, and I wrote that. What followed was a Top 15 ranking, the announcement that "Game Day" will again feature Oregon, and a looming date with Washington State.
Loved the authentic, exuberant, cathartic fan reaction at Autzen on Saturday. You could really feel that Oregon's fans were genuinely absorbing what they were seeing. I think suffering through a four-win season in 2016 and the Willie Taggart defection in 2017 made the fan base more appreciative of what they were watching. Also, of what Cristobal is building.
