    Wow! It’s no wonder why the Big 12 isn’t jumping on the rest of the South. Literally NOC to watch them.

    Clearly the B10 didn’t do their Homework on UCLA.

    Sure they did. They decapitated the Pac 12 and removed the Southern Cal media market and recruits from us. It wasn’t about how great UCLA but rather to fuck over an alliance member.
    As a chess piece, you are correct.

    And really, you’re correct any other way that you look at it, upon further review.

    It doesn’t really matter what UCLA brings to the table. They were the necessary pawn for this to happen.

    They won’t be a factor in Football. Will do well in Baseball. Will be a mid level MensBB team. Will flash in NCAAWB. And probably do well at the Sports that truly NOC about.

    I feel we failed with the Kliakov, or however you spell his name hire.

    He didn’t have a clue that any of this was going down. And really is left grasping at straws the rest of the way.

    And if He did know about it, there should be a helicopter involved with his next career move.

    But Oregon claims to have a top 5 national fan base. How’s this possible?

    Pretty solid that UW got its third best conference game viewership by playing itself.

    Well, there is definitely no shortage of doogs who want to have their time & money tied up in this train wreck of a program.



    Disagree.
    That was vs. UCLA. Crowd was on fire that day.

    Greatest Setting in College Football.

    UCLA? Do you see the 4 fans in red in the foreground?

    That was against Rutgers.

    Oregon's reputation is purely as an opponent, they have no substantial fan base who follows the team. People like when their team plays Oregon, because the idiots at ESPN think they're good, so if you beat them it's a notch in the belt.

    So, are you saying it’s not a notch on their belts? That Oregon has not been a good program?

    If you say IT enough times to yourself. That IT becomes reality. Nevermind the 2 Natty appearances and 6 Major Bowl wins since UW won their last.

    Of the schools who have not won a NT in the past 20 years, Oregon has probably been the best program.

    Oklahoma.

    The right Stoops winning one in year 2 has now been a looong time ago.

    But other than OU, not sure I can come up with a program that’s managed to accomplish as much UO that Georgia nattied.

    Yeah, I'd probably put OU ahead of UO, but I had 2000 as being good enough for gubmint work as it relates to this exercise.

    Winners win and all that. With that said, I don't see that Oklahoma team beating Miami or Washington in a bowl matchup. They had a solid defense and an anemic offense as I recall.

    Titles are titles, but some are better than others. The OU 2000 title is a little underwhelming IMO. YMMV.

    Titties are titties, but some are better than others.

    Complete understatement here.

    Miamuh would have won the (college football) Super Bowl in 2000, 2001 and 2002. They were clearly the best team in each of those seasons.

    But that's not how college football used to work, which is what made it so fun. If it weren't for the gay BCS they would have played OU in the Orange Bowl in 2000 for the usual sodbuster beat down.

    "Improvements" were already starting to ruin the game even in 2000.

    That's what I'm missing: the ambiguity, the unanswered "what ifs" and the arguments. Now we have a system that spits out "Bama" every year. Great.
