    Would you trade the 91 natty for Oregon’s success the past 15 years? I think it’s a tougher question for someone like me who was too young to experience 91. I’d also factor in that UW probably recruits better locally in the 2010s and past few years if they’re more successful in that era and the brand is bigger at a crucial time with the PAC-12 dying and NIL.

    Anyone under the age of 37ish who answers no to this is a liar
    lol

    Duck fan doesn't know wtf he's talking about because his team is on the list and he has no idea what it means to win a NC.

    Because of all the nattys Oregon's won since then?

    One thing is for sure Oregon will never win a 1/2 Championship.

    No, because experiencing big wins in the moment is >>>>>>>hearing your two dads talk about the title you won before you were even born/cognizant of what was going on. Obviously for the older crowd winning the 91 title was a huge deal—because you all watched/went to every single game that season. A 30 year old would much rather have the success in his lifetime when he’s actually watching/going to the games.

    Watching grainy footage on YouTube of a team you never saw play live doesn’t make your heart pump the same way as having a Dawgade of wins over Oregon that coincides with when you were in school.

    1/2 is still greater than zero.

    For the record I wouldn’t trade it even though I’m on that 37 year old line where I don’t actually remember a single thing prior to 95 really. I did have VHS tapes of the 92 Rose Bowl and a lot of the 91 games I watched a lot in high school and I think things were a lot bigger deals back then than they are in the past 20 years with how splintered the culture and media are. I’d also add that the 91 team is objectively considered a goat team regionally and nationally with non idiots which factors in. It’s not like Colorado’s natty or some team that won with a loss or a down year.

    Some context to also consider is how hard it is. Ohio State the last 20 years has one and they barely got into the CFP that year. Since the 70s they only also have the 2002 one which was won on a controversial call.

    In the time since around 91 Texas has one, Notre Dame has one, Georgia has zero until two years ago, Michigan has one. It’s really fucking hard. Plenty of teams have lost titles games.

    Deboer has been using the phrase: "Winners win because that's what winners do."

    Sounds like something he got from the boards tbh but it's true. No room for narrative once you get the banner flyin
