Seattle Times - The Pick is The Greatest College Play EVAR
Oregon calls it the biggest play in its football history. I’ll go one better and suggest it’s the biggest play in Pac-12/10/8 history and in the discussion for the biggest ever in college football.http://seattletimes.com/html/budwithers/2024790374_withers16xml.html
Also too, victory and ruins

The pick started your football history. Damon Huard is the father of Duck football.
Considering that the Ducks are still waiting to win their first natty (ILTCIN) in football, yeah I guess it's the biggest event in your history. -

So, you're saying that Huard & Wheaton are the two dads of Oregon Ducks football?AZDuck said:PurpleBaze said:The pick started your football history. Damon Huard is the baby daddy of Duck football.

The northwest is always over shadowed in these things. The same day of the Whammy, Cordell Stewart hits the hail mary at Michigan Stadium. Big deal, beat Michigan. Who doesn't? But it way over shadowed the end of the longest home winning streak and still does. Miami > Michigan
I'm sure the SEC has many plays better than the Pick. Auburn had two last year. -

Somebody didn't watch last year's iron bowl.

LOL at Withers trolling Husky fans with his "Greatest Play in Pac-8/10/12 history" hyperbole.
The Huskies were stuck on probation that year and finished .500 in the conference. And those Ducks (9-4, No. 11 final ranking) are certainly among the bottom third of Pac-12 champions over the past 20 years.
Phil Knight's sponsorship didn't sink Washington football. That distinction goes to Hedges, Gilbertson, Turner and Willingham ... all followed by a sloppy used-car salesman destined for a career of mediocrity.
Bud's column today would've made no less sense if he'd have touted Al Burleson's 93-yard TD pick of an ill-advised WSU pass in the 1975 Apple Cup as the greatest play in conference history. After all, Don James and the Huskies went on to win the Rose Bowl two seasons later and developed into arguably the Pac's best program for a large part of the ensuing two decades.
Burleson's interception wasn't the best play in Conference history — and neither was Wheaton's.
Not even close.

I've been watching Washington football a long time, but for my money there hasn't been one better than Justin Robbins in the back of the endzone from Tui. That shit was insane.
The thing is, the pick is an awesome play for them. Let them have it. It really says something nice about us, anyway.
The thing is: FUCK THEM. -
What do oregon fans love more than the pick?
-
was that Cal / Stanford game with "The Play" on the Pac12 Network back in the day? Musta been because obviously Withers didn't see it.

The pick is a great play for Oregon not the entire league. BudWithersFS

Someone should introduce Bud Withers to lighter fluid, gasoline, the Aurora Bridge, and a match ...
That's the stupidest fluffing of the Ducks I've heard all week ... and the fluffing has been in abundance. -
Backward pass against the Dynasty.

Oregon is legit at least that is what my people are telling me
