Stop it with the stick your head in the dirt with Oregon. Chest is right they have beat us the last 2 years after dominating UW for 15 years. They take recruiting serious. If I’m a young recruit seeing them hype talking shit is a motivator they look like a team I would want to play with. If you don’t think the Savell Smalls situation is real and it was an easy story line. We out here still recruiting McDonald over Banks. Also stop with the theory UW is this far greater academic institution. When your getting recruited Duke, Satnford are the only schools that can sell education. My point is Oregon is about that life. I’m so ready to get past the “OKG” bullshit It has so many racial undertones. Especially coupled with you don’t recruit TreShuan or Gee Scott
This is a moronic post.
Nobody is “sticking their head in the dirt about oregon.” Everyone is keenly aware of our recent troubles with the white trash in eugene. That is the first stupid thing you said.
The second stupid thing is your suggestion that UW is not a superior institution than oregon. Look at where the UW is located – a student at UW has unbelievable internship opportunities and influential alumni within a ten mile radius of him/her. oregon can’t even compare. And YES, THE ACADEMIC RANKINGS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
The only sound point you made is that oregon over the past decade has been hungrier on the recruiting trail. I think Pete and now Lake are taking care of that.
MillenialDoog is exactly right that we’ve done a terrible job selling all of our advantages.
We are better than them. But for the glitzy amenities, oregon’s biggest game every year would still be the civil war.
Take them seriously, but realize who we are.
