That sucked
Mentioned something in the game thread (during the 2nd Q after VA went down but apres le deluge) that I have seen this before.
Spent my childhood in SE Texas as a fan of the erstwhile Houston Oilers (fuck you, Bud Adams, rot in hell) and I watched the game against Buffalo where Houston gave up a 31-point lead to let Buffalo win in OT.
That has now happened twice to me as a fan, of two different teams in two totally different leagues and parts of the country. Owen12 might be preferable.
Best comment on 247 was this: "You just witnessed the opposite of The Pick. This loss could be the end of Oregon football as we have gotten used to if things are not handled properly, and difficult decisions are not made."
More rumint on that bored to the effect that the AD, Uncle Phil, and Helfrich had a little pow-wow after the game.
We'll see.

If this is the opposite of The Pick, I'd gladly rewatch this game on HuskyTron at every home gameAZDuck said:After the inevitable failure of the Oregon offense under Jeff Lockie, I literally grabbed the leash and went for a walk with my daWg along the lake to get some perspective.

Good, we (?) were about to send @DHHSDawg out to your place on a welfare check.

More information that has been floating around: Frost was responsible for QB recruiting and was the QB coach, right now the only "true" QB coach on staff is Helfrich himself and the GA Nate Costa (who is a former UO QB). Talk *was* that Costa would get promoted to full-time QB coach after the bowel game. Now, not so much.
Now, all bets are off, most people are calling for Pellum's head and many are calling for Helfrich's - revisiting the firing of Glen Mason at Minnesota after they blew a 31-point lead to Texas Tech a few years back.
On the plus side, some Quook poasted "Let's not forget where we came from and where we are" bullshit screed on 247 and got pasted with downvotes and numerous comments telling him what a fucktard loser he is.
So, the fanbase isn't completely fucked up.
We're at a crossroads, for sure. Oregon loves their staff continuity, but the problems with player development at key positions (C, QB, ILB to name a few) are indicative of rot within the program. At a time when Oregon has arguably the best backfield (when healthy) in CFB, it is especially galling to be unable to score more than 3 points, even without VA.
I'm as or more pissed about the issues at C than I am with the QB problems. Steve Greatwood has been and remains on staff. Why the fuck we didn't have a C or a backup C ready to go blows me away. Lockie might have had a chance to manage the game if he wasn't picking every single fucking snap up off the turf. Hell, just the one where he actually completed a nice throw to Carrington for a TD probably would have sealed the game, except he needed to kneel down to get the errant snap.

i can't tell y'all how proud i am of my boy Pellum.
he took a bunch of lowly regarded players and held a wildly talented TCU squad to zero first half points. that is coaching.
the guy makes lemonade out of lemons every time he put's on a headset.

Uncle Phil was probably letting Helfrich know they were exercising the clause in his contract that would move him to OC now that Chip has failed in the NFL.
The bad news, he won't be keeping his head coach salary.
Chip to be announced tomorrow. -

I think this is a best case scenario from a UW perspective.
The Ducks got mauled, but with that nine wins will save his job for at least a year and probably two.
If you can't kick their ass next year, quit Petersen. You know Woody and his 11/9 women's to men's sports ratio won't fire you (in 10 years there will probably be six transgender teams). -
Maybe it's because I'm a contrarian in nature, but that one didn't hurt. It would've had it been a Rose Bowl or a Fiesta Bowl. But no one is going to remember the 2016 Alamo Freeze Bowl Winner 10 years from now.
Right now, I'm more curious about what Phuckup can do. No one is going to be VAJ when it comes to the deep ball. But a better running QB coupled with Freeman and a healthy Tyner along with an even weaker Pac 12 isn't a bad consolation prize. Assuming someone learns to snap the ball. -
Helfrich's contract is public....link to the clause? He would be owed over $14 million if fired. Lucky SOBtopdawgnc said:More rumint on that bored to the effect that the AD, Uncle Phil, and Helfrich had a little pow-wow after the game.
