SEATTLE -- Oregon is doing its black helmet, black pants, white jerseys, silver numbers thing. And feathers on the shoulder pads. Word is the colors are a new look.

Washington is in purple and gold.

Who knew reporting on college football could be so GQ?

It's clouding over a bit (drat).

Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli is throwing and moving well with a knee brace on. It would seem he's the guy, though the pre-game depth chart lists an "OR" between him and backup Nate Costa.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly and former coach -- and Ducks AD -- Mike Bellotti had a long discussion near midfield.

Wonder what Bellotti told him? Got a sense from a nice chat with Bellotti this week that game days aren't easy for him, though he said, "They're getting better."
