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.creepycoug said:
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.TheHB said: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.

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.TheHB said:

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

No, Price could be considered a old douche but I don't think Doba would be.ntxduck said:

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.
