Naw, you are not a bitch, you just like to try to be funny soemtimes...

I will tell you a little secret that will reveal all mysteries into him and why, correctly so, some of you sense that he sucks off the PAC-12.... Here is why... He was born in Portland. Thus, I think he spent most of his life in other parts, Chicago or wherever, but most people have a strong emotional attachment to where they were born. Anyways, and well, he is freaking major old. Thus, unlike us, he can easily remember when the Rose Bowl was the biggest sporting event in the country, waaaaaaaaaaay bigger of a deal then the super bowl way back when. Thus, even while the PAC has not done great nationally recently, or had much national respect, he comes at it from different angle, as a old guy, revering our great history. And also, out West, we are raised to almost revere the State of Cali as well. Granted, many hate it, me included,,,, but even though we hate aspects of it, or how bad of drivers those Cali people are, we all still revere it. It is the destination place, the magical place, Hollywood, ect...The mecca of it all. And that is why, if you watch West coast games taking place at a School somewhere in Cali, he salivates and brags about the setting. I drove down to last years Stanford-UO game. But when I got home I watched that game 10 times. And I clearly remember he boasting about the beautiful setting at Stanford. Well, they all are like that. And it gives him a sense of pride that he is a West Coast guy, although I think he has lived in Montana for years. Anyways, but even in Montana, they feel the same way. That is actually my birth state. And they all over there dream of taking a vacation to Cali, or somewhere on the Pacific Ocean Coast. Plus, that region over there has no major CFB teams, so they all get PAC games on TV much and are big fans. And well, for UO specifically, it just is his birth state pride coming out. And that is probably why he knows my team way better then any other team is because he follows UO way more, but secretly is a fan, as he has to come off as unbiased.

Anyways, hope this helps explain. BTW< that is why we at UO adore him. He loves the shite out of us.
