Fair and Balanced. Ha!

I feel bad for Oregon State fans right now.
Since my alignment with the Oregon Ducks, Newsradio 1240 KQEN has taken on a clear green and yellow tinge.
But Roseburg is much more supportive of the Beavers.
That means every time Kyle and I talk about our favorite college athletic program, its about Oregon.
Despite that perceived problem, I hope Beaver fans understand that when OSU does something noteworthy, they will lead the sportscasts and the discussion, just as the Ducks do when there is news about Oregon.
Now that I have issued that disclaimer, I have no interest in remaining fair and balanced ahead of the Civil War on Thursday.
In fact, I have set up a trap for Tom Nelson, or Beaver Tom as his friends know him.
We'll see how many people read my blog by the way things turn out on the morning report Thursday.
You see, I will be in front of the radio station during the Civil War edition of the KQEN Morning Report.
At 8:30, I have invited Tom to the station to represent the Beavers for our morning conversation.
I have invitied Lee Paterson to represent the Ducks.
Only I also have had contact with the Oregon Duck Club.
If it works out like I hope it will, old Tom will head down here thinking he's gonna talk a little trash with Lee and we'll all have a little chuckle and that will be that.
Instead, Nelson will walk into the interview and into the face of a gaggle of rowdy Duck fans with their flags, coats, duck quacker whistles and who knows what else.
Oh the glory!
If you know Tom and you read this, you have a choice.
Tell him of my plan and give him the chance to counteract it or hold back and listen to hear how Tom reacts to being Ducked by the Oregon fans at KQEN.
