    The Oregon brand is simply Nike and unique uniforms that appeal to 12-year-olds. It's not about winning, tradition or anything the B1G has ever been about. The thinking that Oregon is some kind of awesome national brand is silly. When the day comes and Phil Knight has taken advantage of his last Asian sweatshop worker, the Oregon "program" will be an afterthought. If it isn't already.

    I don't think it's some kind of "awesome national brand," but it's more than your dismissive take on it. The BIG admitted Rutgers into their league in my lifetime, and other than Buck they've been a big boring collection of teams for as long as I can remember. So I'll take a hard pass at falling to my knees in awe of the Big 10.
    Great point. I’m not really kneeling before the B1G. But unlike others in this bastion of free thought, I’m not falling on my knees in awe of duck, either.
    And you shouldn't.

    The place I give duck respek is that they were utterly nothing and were able to make themselves into something relevant, with no built in advantages. That's basically impossible to do in college football. Schools fall down from their natural place in the pecking order when they don't care (Minnesota, Pitt, Syracuse, Colorado) but it's really hard to advance a program to the highest levels without any built in advantages (which schools like the Florida schools had). Oregon managed to do that. Without caring and without Phil, they'd be Texas Tech.

    I think it really comes down to Nike. Without Nike, Oregon wouldn't care.

    Perhaps my order was backwards.

    The only more impressive rise from shit in CFB is Kansas State, who went from worst program in power conference land to winning conferences and competing for Natties. KSU never had an uncle Phil but also never got as far as Oregon, and is now an average program in CFB.

    Being mediocre to shitty for a stretch of, what, 18 years now, will do that to ya.

    Still, I have to say this: I’m able to watch Miami play on TV without any cable packages 3 to 5 times a year., so I can’t complain. I feel like even the sports media, which used to hate then so much, is pulling for them get back to form. IDGAF what anybody says or downvotes on the matter: a good Miami program with a little controversy added in is good for cfb. Frankly I’m surprised they’re that close.

    I’d like to see the whole list. And I’m assuming this is an all-tim list? Which would explain Clemson being nowhere in sight.

    Ouch.
    That’s on par with your Ocean Shores and Miami Beach are the same comparison. Nobody’s going to talk you out of your crazy, but I respect the sand it takes to own it as you do. I tip my cap.

    It does bring up a question though: what are these numbers really? Forget Miami for a second, as that makes everyone around here irrationally defensive. Instead, ask yourself/ourselves what it means for Cuog! to be just a few clicks down the list from DWAG.

IDGAF what anybody says or downvotes on the matter: a good Miami program with a little controversy added in is good for cfb. Frankly I’m surprised they’re that close.

    I’d like to see the whole list. And I’m assuming this is an all-tim list? Which would explain Clemson being nowhere in sight.
    I thought you were still talking about CUOG. Then I saw the stark/perfect reality.


    CUOG = canes


    Ouch.
    That’s on par with your Ocean Shores and Miami Beach are the same comparison. Nobody’s going to talk you out of your crazy, but I respect the sand it takes to own it as you do. I tip my cap.

    It does bring up a question though: what are these numbers really? Forget Miami for a second, as that makes everyone around here irrationally defensive. Instead, ask yourself/ourselves what it means for Cuog! to be just a few clicks down the list from DWAG.
    Couple of things it means

    West Coast football isn't as dead as it is reported. 3 NW schools up on that list

    Saturday night football draws eyeballs. Not as many as prime time but there is an audience

    The coog are generally entertaining

    UW was 4-8 and retarded

    The Oregon brand is simply Nike and unique uniforms that appeal to 12-year-olds. It's not about winning, tradition or anything the B1G has ever been about. The thinking that Oregon is some kind of awesome national brand is silly. When the day comes and Phil Knight has taken advantage of his last Asian sweatshop worker, the Oregon "program" will be an afterthought. If it isn't already.

    I don't think it's some kind of "awesome national brand," but it's more than your dismissive take on it. The BIG admitted Rutgers into their league in my lifetime, and other than Buck they've been a big boring collection of teams for as long as I can remember. So I'll take a hard pass at falling to my knees in awe of the Big 10.
    Great point. I’m not really kneeling before the B1G. But unlike others in this bastion of free thought, I’m not falling on my knees in awe of duck, either.
    The place I give duck respek is that they were utterly nothing and were able to make themselves into something relevant, with no built in advantages. That's basically impossible to do in college football. Schools fall down from their natural place in the pecking order when they don't care (Minnesota, Pitt, Syracuse, Colorado) but it's really hard to advance a program to the highest levels without any built in advantages (which schools like the Florida schools had). Oregon managed to do that. Without caring and without Phil, they'd be Texas Tech.
    The Pac 10/12 had a lot to do with it
    Hasn't helped my Cuog!
    Being mediocre to shitty for a stretch of, what, 18 years now, will do that to ya.

    Still, I have to say this: I’m able to watch Miami play on TV without any cable packages 3 to 5 times a year., so I can’t complain.

    Numbers don't lie.

    23 is closer to 22 than it is to 30+.

    You picked a good comparison with the beaches EXCEPT ocean shores and miami are further away from Hawaii beaches than wsu and miami are to UW football.

    But enjoy the grey sand all you want if it makes you happy.

    Also, context matters. You were lying about miami having the best of every city when it likely wasn't even second best in any category.

    Wiw but Cuougs need to thank that ESPN anchor for having a kid that Leach locked in a shed. There isn't any more to their success and eye balls than that. He's coaching at Texas otherwise.

    UW’s recent body bag OOC and Bowl games for the other team have certainly added to this number, haven’t they?

    Cool. I never mentioned UW though. But since you brought it up, you’re wrong about clicks and eyeballs.

    I'm in the minority that I am sad to see the Coug's and Beav's fates even though I know the Cougs would love nothing more than to see anything bad happen to UW.

    Especially because I think the Cougs have defied so many odds with what they've been able to do as a program since the early-80s and will have to slip out while a program that's fuck around the way UCLA has the past 20 plus years gets to an all of that random trash that's in the Big 10.

    You dear, sweet soul.
