    Media and social media dorks love Oregon. You have to remember that going into last year's game the narrative was if Oregon could beat Georgia if they played again based on Oregon beating UCLA at home as part of UCLA's yearly second half collapse and beating up crap teams. Then UW won in Eugene but about 8 days later it was like it never happened again.

    Just gotta win and advance.

    I know of no one claiming that Oregon would beat UGA in a rematch. Maybe we’re reading different media.
    I remember this from last year. ESPN, etc. was assuming juggernaut Oregon would win out and possibly earn a spot in the CFP.

    At the very least this was all over Twitter. I could dredge shit up but I don't have time. I'll maybe give you that people weren't saying beat but would be a more competitive game.

    The perfect response for Twitter. You should go back there. You’ll be a star.

    “We have a different team this year on defense. We got rid of the four and five star guys we didn’t want anymore and replaced them with everyone else’s four and five star guys they didn’t want anymore.” Big difference.

    So MSU didn’t want Bernard? Miss. St. didn’t want Johnson? OSU didn’t want Muhammad?

    Oregon portal additions have improved their D and that’s not even debatable if you have eyes.

    I’ve read no outrageous claims that they’re the 85’ Bears.
    Jesus don’t you get it? EVERY fanbase does this. There’s one that is excessive about it. Own it. Quooks are obnoxious. Twitter is the worst. The 5-6 of you here are fine. It’s fun back and forth. The media hype train is nauseating.

    Oregon is more balanced. Even more than the 2020 elect… TITTT. Leads to a victory 100% of the time.

    I want Oregon to win just to read and listen to WoollyDoog's apoplectic ranting following the game.

    Secretly, @DerekJohnson does, too.

    No denying it will be a good win for Oregon if it happens
