The idea that Oregon should storm the field just to be dicks is incredibly disrespectful and pointless. What a fantastic thought. The more hatred the games breed the better.
As someone who has said I would like conferences to penalize and take 'storming the field/court' completely out of the sport... but for the current reality and what Colorado fans did last week. Oregon students should storm the field even if they win 72-0.

It is what it is. It’s not really Colorado & Sanders fault the media has created a paper tiger there but yeah this probably isn’t gonna be the first time a team tries to hang 70+ on them this year. Obviously Lanning at multiple occasions has publicly known he’s not a fan of the hype they’re receiving.

You can get edge players pretty easily. That’s to me has become a skill position with the amount of athletes available every year there.

But the interior of the DL & just the OL in general that’s some of the hardest position(s) to get players in college football. You pretty much have to recruit it to find impact guys & it usually takes multiple cycles of taking numbers at that position for something to hopefully hit.

Yea... I mean it's not like the public attention seeking Deion had *ANY* impact whatsoever in building up the hype for this team. ;)

You parade yourself out there and go for all that attention and sell yourself/team as something they're not. You deserve the crow when it comes. The media/rankings buying into it was a joke though, I'll def give you that.
 
The biggest surprise of the year for me is that I expected Colorado to be a shit show from top to bottom, but I don't hate what they're trying on offense. They're just wildly overmatched talent-wise. And whoever this QB is (who I'm sure is here on pure merit), he's missing a whole ton of quick throw opportunities on these slants; I'm sure LBs will punish their WRs on those catches, but it's what's there if they want to move the ball. It seems to me like he's the problem more than design. But like I said, I'm sure he fully deserved this job and isn't there because of something silly like having a father on the staff.
Shadeur was a 4-star recruit, that had offers from all the big schools, including Oregon. If anything, it was the other way around, he had no business at a FCS school and only went there to play for his his dad, which wasn’t unlike a number of guys that went there.
 
I can’t believe an OSU-ND game is about to start and my main thought is that both teams are underrated.
 
I'm glad Deion got his comeuppance today. The way he drug a camera into the team meeting room after he got the job just to shit on the players was some JV shit. We get it. The roster sucked and needed turnover. You don't have to publicly embarrass a bunch of kids in the process.

Just proof that parents lose complete sight of the bigger picture if their kid is a highly touted football player. I'm not sure how a parent could look at that and think, "yeah, this guys cares about my child."

ND with an actual QB is an interesting proposition. That and OSU doesn't have a top 3 pick at the position.
