HOO BOY
So on the Softy show on KJR, Oregon football coach Mike Bellotti was interviewed. What took place was that before Bellotti came on (obviously he was holding on the phone), Softy played a couple Husky highlights (one was a Reggie Williams 46-yard touchdown catch) from last year's 42-14 stomping in Eugene and Softy later asked a couple questions about Bellotti possibly using game tapes and last year's Husky celebration on the O at midfield at Autzen Stadium to motivate his players. Bellotti said he wasn't using the tapes as motivation. After the interview, Softy went off about how Bellotti seemed like something that Softy did or played pissed him off. Some callers thought the playing of the highlights to set up the interview was in poor taste, and some didn't. One caller thought Bellotti didn't get ticked until Softy asked the motivation question. The producer thought Bellotti was having a bad day altogether, and was ticked before KJR called him, possibly anticipating some kind of question that would rile him up. Or maybe Bellotti is playing the joke on the people of Seattle. Who knows? And in some ways, who cares? It's just medicore Husky football, that's all.
