    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.

    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 game
    So, the fanbase isn't completely fucked up.


    Disagree.

    You doogs are all correct. Oregon will be lucky to win 4 games next year

    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.

    Contrarian? More like a fool. Biggest meltdown in bowel history, played early enough that everyone could watch ... not good.

    Next year, you'll again have loads of talent and experience at the skill positions, but you lose 3 OL starters and 6/7 of the front 7 on defense. All hat, no cowboy?

    And hanging that hat on a "better running QB" who has yet to play in a FBS game shows just how much Kool-aid you have chugged. He may very well be as effective as VAJ, but I doubt it. Then again, he may get blown up early in the year and you'll be riding the Lockie train again.
    A fool? It was the Alamo Bowl. Just as nobody would have cared if Oregon won if, nobody cares that Oregon lost it or how.

    I wouldn't say it that way. I'd sum it up that Oregon has five players on its current roster who will be drafted in the first five rounds of the NFL draft, two of whom are seniors, two are true sophmores and one of them is Carrington who could stay or go. It's not going to take much to find the next Tyson Coleman or Matt Pierson. And that's the reason why people who say Oregon (or Stanford) is about to fall off a cliff are generally wrong about it.

    This just in.....

    Going from the Natty to 9-4 with no plan at QB is falling off of a cliff considering that all of your division foes look to be improved next year.
    Improved next year?

    What are they going to do? Shock the world and win 8 games?

    As usual, the doogs focus on Oregon getting the hammer or just sucking rather than UW actually getting good.

    Fucking losers.

    Prukop is a better fit for Oregon's offensive style than Adams is. I think that he's going to be a good one, and Nicky Satan agrees with me. The backfield and WRs remain in place. Give Helfrich his due, offensive production has been good as long as the QB isn't Jeff Lockie. Hopefully the staff will have a better Plan B in case Prukop gets hurt.

    @AZDuck: Shit man, that sounds overly optimistic. Good athlete, but kid's never played against a Pac12 team and pass defense in the Big Sky is almost non-existent. Big, big adjustments ahead for that kid.

    After winning the Alamo Bowl, a statue was erected on the Baylor campus of this guy:
