Who knows how truthful Oregon is actually being, but man, this is disappointing. Particularly so when it de-railed the season. Lake spent all this time mouthing off about how serious we were with COVID and taking all these precautions only for us to get hit with a bunch positives. Now, I know it's not really anyone's fault necessarily but holy shit, we're supposed to be the program with everything together, managing the details, and running a tight ship. Instead it's Oregon who ends up looking like they had it all under control. They're supposed to be the big disorganized mess, not us.

Oregon had a ton of covid absences during the season

Perception is the key. Washington and the rest of the PAC 12 outside of Oregon and USC made a bad miscalculation. They thought being completely transparent would garner points, and make them be seen as putting player safety first. When in fact it made them look disorganized and ill-equipped to handle the pandemic. Elite prospects value safety, but not at the cost of quitting games. If the roles were reversed, Oregon would have held open tryouts to field a team against USC. They may have lost by 40, but they certainly wouldn't give a conference rival a recruiting edge in the upcoming class. Nice guys tend to finish last. This isn't a fairy tale. Eat or be eaten.

Oh, just you wait until Lake gets those guysm in for a visit. They'll see what's real and what's fake! Once visits open up again, it's all over for Oregon.


Just you wait...
