I wouldn't use fishduck as a barometer for the average Oregon quack fan....lol.
But yes, on many Oregon boards USC and Washington are the twin evils, as it probably should be. You can't compare those boards to this one, though. Totally different composition of posters.
I think it looks out of whack to Saw in particular because there are 2 (now 3 thanks to you, Saw!) regular duck fan contributors on this board these days, and maybe a couple hundred USC fans.
Plus this is a thinly-veiled USC site, run by a coffee-loving Trojan. So we duckies are the minority here. There's always going to be plenty of Trojans to gang up on us here, plus the occassional Trojan to defend us as well.
It's still a pretty fun place to hang despite all that.
I don't think it ever got that far. I think there was genuine nterest by Alabama for sure. Maybe not the #1 choice, but definitely top 2 or top 3. I thought Lanning would take this opportunity to play with Alabama more, especially if the reports were true he was in Tuscaloosa. Ie at least go listen to them, and then say thanks but no thanks.
How it ended up is probably better, though. Don't give anyone reason to feel he's not 100% committed to Oregon. Nip it in the bud, and still make a HUGE statement to the college football world.
Didn't seem like he was cut from the same cloth as Taggart and Cristobal. And he obviously isn't. Doesn't mean he won't leave, but it does mean we quacks are likely safe for a fair amount of time.
Oregon is a like a college age kid with purple hair who asks, "what are you staring at". sc
Honestly, where does all the Oregon obsession come from here? So much shade thrown Oregon's way.
Clearly none of you feel threatened by Oregon moving forward.
On field success means nothing against the same schedule we all play ,
only national championships count as being successful,
lanning is only successful recruiting because he has bags of money,
Oregon is sleazy because a famous Amuni owns NIKE and utilizes the NIL system.
Lanning is a terrible coach and that is proved because he lost two close games to the national runners up. A really outstanding UW team.
What else am I missing
LOL!! Good one, Augie. 😆
Trust me, the PTSD that we quacks suffer due to Taggart and especially Cristobal is real.
Looks like we can take down the SteppingStoneU banner now, at least for the time being.
