"Climbing is easier than hanging on" - Duck football

I believe HuskyFreeNorthwest had the name of the thread changed when Taggart was hired.

Just discovered this thread as a result of a google search on the phrase "Climbing is easier than hanging on" because I just heard Willie Taggert say this in an interview yesterday, two days before the Oregon Spring Game, when he was talking about the process and progress of spring training. My question is, why does this thread, which was apparently started 7 years ago, have this Taggart quote in it's title? Was it edited recently to reflect the new coach? I hadn't heard him say this before (and I'm one of those kind of fans that listen to a lot of my team's player and coaches interviews), but my google search also found Taggart had used this phrase in tweets while still at South Florida. Just curious.

you think you can show up here and start asking questions right away? wrong, motherfucker

The first rule of the "Climbing is easier than Hanging on" thread is to not ask questions about the "Climbing is easier than hanging on" thread.

Well, I'm off to a terrible start, then.

OK, then let me point out that I'm sure Helfrich would agree with Taggart's little homily.

Hi ChileDuck.

What's the Chile refer to?

What? I have to answer questions before I can ask them? [DOH! I asked another question!]

Ok fine. I live in the New Mexico chile growing valley and Ducks and Chile are both green.... well you asked.

Are you going to tell us how everything is better with green chiles on it? Because we had someone do that already.

Welcome.

Oh no no no no. Not *everything*, just *most things.

Welcome Chile, this thread started as "Flying in a V formation" transitioned to "Life after Chip: At least we still have Nike" and then after Willie was hired I saw him say that in an article on BR and thought it was appropriate. However if you really think Helf would agree then I need to rethink the name. Have a great day, if you want to.

Just learned Taggart has a fatal flaw, rugby style punts. Thinking of cancelling my season tickets.

Well Helf would agree hanging on is hard. If you want to change it, I guess you could "do something" about it. But in the theme of "At least we still have Nike" I might suggest "Just Do Something It"

Beavos pick up Thomas Tyner former Oregon RB who retired due to medical issues. This year's Civil War just added a new layer of intrigue.
