Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Rooting for USC to fail is rooting for Oregon to succeed

    Recruiting is a zero sum game. If UW, USC and UCLA are all strong Oregon will stop getting kids like DAT and Mariotta.



    Not necessarily. Each can only have 85. If this theory held true, then UW should not have landed Shaq ... but it did, even after 7-6.

    Don't tell me - he's a brilliant aspiring computer science student and came here to study.

    Oregon got DAT when USC still looked like a viable place to play. It must've been the cheating.
    Hi Harv.

    This was an inspired handle choice by the way. Don't be so obvious next time.

    USC's failure's are killing the pac12 and its image nationwide. Perfect for everybody east of Rockies. It's made the pac12 irrelevant.

    Disagree. In the mid 2000's the Pac 10 was referred to as USC and the rest. USC did just fine, and so will any other undefeated PAC 12 team.

    Pretty sure Oregon's reputation is just fine. Whether we want to acknowledge reality or not, most people around the horn think Oregon is pretty tough.

    The Cane crowd can be just as provincial and reactionary as the Husky crowd, and even most of those morons acknowledge where Oregon is right now.

    Gentlemen, this is not that complicated. All I am saying is, if UW, UCLA and UW are all healthy, far fewer quality players will find their way to Eugene.

    You always show up just in time image.

    Here's what you don't seem to get. If Oregon, UCLA and USC are all healthy fewer quality players will find their way to Seattle.

    If Cal, USC and Oregon are all healthy fewer quality players will find their way to UCLA.

    If Miami, Florida State and Georgia are all healthy fewer quality players will find their way to Gainesville.

    Welcome to college football.

    OTOH, Oregon's national brand (#hicreepycoog!) is strong enough that they'll still get plenty of quality players even if UW, UCLA and USC are all battling it out for the NC.
