Oregon just beat Colorado twice. What unreal footage we get here. Colorado literally talked trash into Oregon-operated cameras, towards Oregon players, and then Oregon chose to use it. Oh my goodness.

AP voters put Oregon at No. 7. Ohio State is No. 6. They have the same record. Oregon has played a tougher schedule to date by far.
Oregon beat Ohio State at Ohio State without its best player, other starters.
Why even play these games if thats gonna happen?

Duck fans should praise this Oregon team. Severely limited by players being out for multiple reasons and they never gave up. They lost to Oklahoma 47-32. They put up over 500 yards of offense. They never made an excuse all week. They knew what they faced and they fought.

I've covered Oregon basketball since Dana Altman arrived at Oregon. I've seen a lot of unreal turnarounds in those previous 13 years. Oregon getting to the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament with Joe Young and a bunch of freshmen in 2015 was the biggest shocker. This year, the best coaching job from this staff. Over 120 games were missed due to injuries. Dana Altman and his staff pulled off one of the best coaching jobs we've seen in a very long time.

It's strange that Utah, ASU, Colorado, and Zona were valued as good TV plays for the Big 12, and then USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington for the Big 10. Now the ACC is considering Cal and Stanford for their markets.
Yet together these schools couldn't get a deal for the Pac-12?
Sources: ACC Presidents met this morning for exploratory call on Cal and Stanford. As expected, no vote was taken. The league is “still evaluating” the potential decision.

Because before Phil Knight became a billionaire he was a student athlete at Oregon. And former athletes at schools can take photos with prospective student athletes. It just so happens Washington doesn't have a former student athlete that is a billionaire.
This is absolutely illegal...how do they get away with this? Just asking. The NCAA forbids this for boosters. Can someone please explain why this is okay?

Benching players, firing coaches, and saying a new head coach is trash after one game is so overdramatic. If that's your reaction after Oregon played probably the best team any Oregon football team has played in its program history, you've got unrealistic expectations.

Oregon lost its top corner prospect in Cabeb Pressley to UW in December. They answered by flipping LSU commit Daylen Austin and signing him on the early NSD, and got Rodrick Pleasant in the fold today. Both Austin and Pleasant are higher rated than Pressley. Good bounce-back.

The Big 10 doesn't like Oregon. They are flashy, puff their chests a lot; a team that isn't traditional in a league made up of people who pride themselves on tradition. You just let them win your league in year one. You haven't seen anything yet.

I think it speaks volumes to how Oregon's teammates on social media are reacting to Travis Dye going to USC instead of coming back to Oregon. They've all told him to 'go be great', to 'kill it' at USC, or some other kind of supportive message. Zero negative. All positive.
