Query for Oregon fans

How does it feel to fall short of that superior culture in Berkeley?

    Apparently Joey Harrington is very disappointed

    FTG.

    Speaking of which, hey @backthepack I missed the twitter space today where Wrighster talked about the letter Joey wrote endorsing Wilcox, can you share some of the details? Thx in advance!

    Not as disappointed as I was the day he served up 5 picks to the mighty Beaver.

    No one would know who Joey is, if A. J. Feeley wasn’t injured and Oregon stuck with the inferior QB when he was ready to go.

    Had Wilcox actually been offered, that would have been extremely embarrassing. But he wasn't. I find it funny people actually think he was.

    But I will admit, the spin his agent made on this was first class. The agent earned every cent of his/her money.

    You're one of our better ducks here, but this is a pitiful quook moment of denial for you.

    Canzano reported, and ESPN's Bonagura independently confirmed his report that Wilcox was offered the job. As much as you all loathe Canzano, there's nothing to indicate that this report is anything but fact. Learn it, love it, live it.

    Cal > Oregon. Evan Weaver and Justin Wilcox have spoken.
    I'm going with the fact that they ran a poll during the search and 73% of Duck fans responded that a Wilcox hire would either be bad or horrible. So it makes zero since why the news of the offer unless it was thrown out there to smooth over the few of the elites that actually wanted him. There wasn't one person I knew that even would have been "ok" with the hire. In fact I know of 6 families that would have turned in their season tickets had he been hired. Ticket sales would have plummeted year one, before a game were even played if Wilcox was named head coach. If Wilcox turned it down, Oregon dodged a major bullet. And if he was in fact offered, then Oregon needs a new AD.

    It doesn't make sense, because last week, when talking to members of the athletic department that I work out with, they said Wilcox wasn't seriously being considered. That's what makes this really confusing, and why I was so confident last week in him not even being a possibility. But it also explains the letter Joey five picks sent out. It was originally sent last week, probably because he found out that Wilcox wasn't being seriously considered. Either way, something seems fishy about all of it.

    I personally don't think there was an offer. One side is spinning, and I originally thought it was on Wilcox's side. But it makes perfect sense for Oregon leaking this smoke, just to appease some big donors, into thinking Oregon "tried to get Wilcox". Wilcox would have no reason to refute it, because this getting out makes him look really good.

    But in the end, Oregon dodged a major bullet.

    The official AD account liked this post yesterday, which is probably the closest we will ever get to a statement from the AD

    I don’t believe he was offered, I believe he said he was because he literally wants out to anywhere that isn’t that shithole in Berkeley. And it’s definitely a bargaining chip for a job that actually does want to hire him, “look I turned down Oregon hurr durr”. But I don’t buy it. Think he’s just butthurt and whined to his alumni pals about it.

    If he was legit offered then Mullens is a dumbfuck of Cohen-level proportions. And I’ll eat crow with a plunger to my own face. FYFMFE

    If Wilcox wasn’t mentioned for every possible opening before Oregon, I might believe it. His name has been put out non stop since the hiring and firings began.

    Nobody from Oregon is going to come out and deny the story. Just because three sources reported it, doesn’t mean it’s true. He wouldn’t turn down $10-15 million guaranteed. Wilcox lost to Arizona. It was Arizona’s one win all season. Even at Cal, he’s on somewhat shaky ground.
    It just doesn't make any sense I agree.

    One guy got it right. He’s the guy assigned to UGA football for years. The guy that never backed off his story on Friday. The other got it wrong, Canzano. But I’m sure he nailed the Wilcox story on Saturday. Very reliable sources and shit.

    Oregon offered Justin Wilcox the job and he turned it down to stay in Berkeley for less money, but it was worth it to stay in a place with a superior football culture. The only way we’ll know for sure is when someone goes to Africa and sees the t-shirts along with other donated beauties like 2010 or 2014 Natty t-shirts.

    Also, is Wilcox gay? I don’t know, and I don’t care who he rams beyond the ram-ifications of it hurting our(?) SEC persona where they prefer the more holesome types, like Hugh Freeze and Joey Freshwater. I just have to wonder why he likes Berkeley so much. And why does he lick his lips like that? Did he take extacy, the gayest of the drugs? Was he thinking about male genitalia? These are questions worth asking when Joey Harrington throws his weight around instead of five picks. I figure if he is then odds are good someone here ran into him at a gloryhole back when he was at UW.

    Wilcox is a bachelor, which is fine at his age: maybe he prefers strange without the effort to hide it, or is too lazy to get a beard. I prefer more of a go-getter, but I can respect the first one. He’s hired an assistant that does have a beard but is almost certainly gay if the rumors are true.
