Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Great LA Times article on Ducks “If you want to win, you come to Oregon, that’s all there is to it,”

“We’ve got all these SoCal recruits because, if you want to win, you come to Oregon, that’s all there is to it,” Pittman said.
In winning this game, Oregon backed up the fun yet furious culture that it has been selling. The Ducks wore the flashy dark green and silver uniforms, yet played old-school smashmouth football, then partied like a bunch of crazy kids, dancing in the locker room while puffing on cigars.
“You see the fun we’re having, the way we’re celebrating right now, the way coach Cristobal leads us, there’s no reason not to come here right now,” guard Shane Lemieux said.

“Check out the smile on the face of the Calabasas High kid who caught a 12-yard pass to set the tone for Oregon’s game-sealing drive.
“We run L.A.,” receiver Mycah Pittman said.
Now check out the wardrobe of his older brother, Michael Jr., a USC receiver who was spotted after the game wearing — wait for it — an Oregon jersey.
“We’ve got all these SoCal recruits because, if you want to win, you come to Oregon, that’s all there is to it,” Pittman said.”
”The message was as plain as the sweaty smile on the face of Thomas Graham Jr., the former USC commit from Rancho Cucamonga who intercepted a pass that led to Oregon’s second touchdown, then later offered an Oregon pitch to his Southland buddies.
“We’re taking over,” he said. “Get away from home, get out of trouble, get away from all the distractions, grow as a player and a man, become a Duck, and I promise you won’t regret your decision.”
Indeed, a large number of Southern California parents crowded a Rose Bowl concourse near the Oregon locker room Wednesday. Mark Dye, whose sons Troy and Travis left Norco to play for the Ducks, offered one theory about the defections.
“The local schools are still well respected, but some of that traditional luster has kind of gone away a little bit,” he said.
“The current age group, when Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart were playing ... those kids were 9 and 10 years old. The rich tradition of both of those schools has started to fade.”
Oregon is clearly the trendy spot, the cool spot, the Rose Bowl’s traditional sounds of “Conquest” replaced Wednesday night by the noise of Ducks fans singing and dancing to their own melody of “Shout.”
The final message of the night came from Troy Dye, delivered to his Southern California neighbors as he sat in a smoky, dizzying Ducks locker room, a statement that served as Wednesday’s true final score.
“I know you grew up watching the Rose Bowl, I know you want to shoot for playing in the Rose Bowl, I know you want to win the Rose Bowl,” Dye said. “If you want to do that, you come to Oregon.”

Seems like would be celebrating Oregon today and their landmark win over the Big 10 runner-up....and not Southern California
Maybe you guys could go back to whining about the size of the crowd.😂😂
I just find the article odd. Some great storylines over beating the B10 runner-up.....and they chose the University of Los Angeles at Eugene angle.
You see the reality of what has happened and are afraid to acknowledge the reality. It is to be expected from the arrogant and those that see themselves as entitled.
You should take it to HardCoreDuck.com. Oh, wait.
Mario - this is yet another reason to come home. We? don't have these problems, and you won't find yourself defending your win over the B10 runner up to a program that got its ass handed to it by the B10 #4 in the Fiesta Bowl. We'll win the big games and leave the squabbling over small games to these pasty white, wet and miserable people.
Come home!
Little Brother? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Husky arrogance and entitlement on display, real classy. It looks like you are the little brother.
The Huskies have won two games in the last 16 years.
