UW at UO, Pre-Game Thread

[TheDayMan]

DayMan - I'll take you on straight up. I am hopelessly optimistic.

One week????

Deal.

On that note, if any of the actual Oregon fans who regularly post in the CFB forum and don’t just show up for that magical window when Oregon still has a chance to win the conference, there’s like 2 or 3 of you left including OD, want a real avatar bet, I’m in.

In my defense and decline of the avy bet, in the years i have been here i have never done one and dont plan on it. No im not being a chicken $hit. just not my thing.

 

[TheLonestarDUCK]

Deal.

Locked - only my 2nd Avi bet. Beat Robo Devil 2 years ago with something.

I'll be honest, it's a fair spread. I was willing to do the unthinkable- have a UW avatar for a friggin' year. All he had to do was stand behind himself and stand up for himself. One of us would be terribly unhappy. But, sadly, he lost his ability to be a man.

You realize it's the exact same thing as saying you aren't willing to pony up a bet straight up without points right? Both have their ridiculous elements to them.

Maybe you weren't around when Clark and nab nearly had a loser has to leave the hoop forever bet, but most sort of established (at least after that, if not before) that outrageous bets are simply dumb. And claiming someone is a pussy because they don't take whatever outrageous bet you want push on them is equally as dumb. It only makes those pushing them look like a dick, no matter what team they are pushing.

You could spot me 41 points against the ducks and I wouldn't take a year long bet. And there's literally no way UW loses by 41. Those kinds of bets are just stupid.

Lonestar gets it. That's a mans bet right there.

1. Avatar bets with any kind of spread are lame. No one should be expected to sport another team’s avy if their own team beat said team.

2. Expecting someone to spot you 7 times the Vegas spread for any bet is extremely lame. Then add 1 on top of it.

3. If you’re gonna call someone out for refusing your 1 + 2 level of lame ass bet, remember who you challenged in the first place.

All signs point to @blazer prophet is a raging jackass.

I don’t much care one way or the other. I would like to be able to get Mamba back for the dick print avatar from the last year UW lost to Oregon, but I don’t think that’s gonna be in the cards any time soon.

Ya know what, loser. You can sit in a corner and cry and cry all you want to.

Why not step up and be a man rather than being a baby about it? You just continue to play the loser. Look, you've lost your cred on this board. Why make matters worse?

Go away. Grow a pair.

I think he was just saying put your money where your mouth is. It was his way to call out a ridiculous claim.

I don’t see it. “Dawgs roll 38-17” isn’t that ridiculous. It’s actually a pretty modest homer prediction if you’re looking at the last couple years’ scores.

Shout out from deep in Duck territory....Go Huskies!!!

So to his point you feel confident giving up 21 points then???? Plus Herbert is playing this year.

Again, it wasn’t my prediction, so no. But even if it was, what I predict in pregame threads and what I’d be willing to bet on aren’t always the same.

I’m only involved in this because I inserted my opinion that asking for points, especially more than the spread for a rivalry game, for an avatar bet is weak. I get why he did, because he’s all sensipoo about someone’s score guess. That doesn’t make it any less of a bitch move.

College Football Picks: Why Pac-12 needs Washington to win

If the Pac-12 wants to maximize its damaged hopes of placing a team in the College Football Playoff, No. 7 Washington needs to beat No. 17 Oregon on Saturday.

The Huskies (5-1, 3-0) and Ducks (4-1, 1-1) meet in Eugene, Oregon, in a game that could go a long way to determining which team wins the Pac-12 North. After years of dominance by the Ducks, the Huskies flipped the rivalry the last two seasons, winning both games by a combined 108-24.

The Ducks’ lone loss this season was a heart-breaking giveaway to Stanford. The Huskies have not lost since the opener against Auburn in Atlanta.

The best either team can do is “12-1 Pac-12 champion,” but Washington’s resume would look much better than Oregon’s. The Ducks, thanks to Texas A&M bailing on a series, were stuck with one of the weakest non-conference schedules in the country. They also, by luck of the draw, have a Pac-12 schedule that has neither Southern California nor No. 19 Colorado. Good for racking up wins, but not necessarily for impressing the selection committee.

The Huskies, meanwhile, host unbeaten Colorado next week and have already won at Utah. The Auburn game was a loss, but traveling cross-country and playing a Top 25 team (for now) in its backyard is probably better than beating up a cupcake at home — which is all the Ducks have to show. The Huskies could also get a little boost from their win over BYU if the Cougars finish out the season strong.

Colorado is the only unbeaten team in the Pac-12 but, again, the schedule gods did the Buffaloes no favors. Rival Colorado State is mediocre at best and their big nonconference opponent, Nebraska, is in the midst of a historically bad season. Colorado probably needs to run the table to get serious playoff consideration, and it would probably bolster the Buffs’ case if Washington was as good as possible.

Many wanted to bury the Pac-12 as soon as the Huskies lost to Auburn. That was premature. Even now there are enough twists and turns possible to pave the way for the conference to put its champion in the playoff — but the chances are much better if that champion is Washington.

I hear ya - I went round n round with a Redskins fan on Monday. Long story short I told him I'd give him 2-1 odds for a straight up bet, or give him the 6.5 points for the $50.00. He took the 2-1 straight up bet. Either way I won. But he hasn't PayPal'd me yet. Fucker

So Nab makes a score prediction. In a rivalry taunting kind of thread. You know, over the top is to be expected. It's a rivalry thread. Jackass gets entirely bent on it and wants to thump his chest in some stupid fucking bet that no one in their right mind would ever take. Puts that stupid on Dayman (who didn't make the fucking prediction to start with) and yet it's dayman that 'lost cred'?

Jesus, get over yourself. I swear we get solid examples every year of why so damned many people country wide hate on duck fans. The douche factor never ceases to amaze.

Calling people names for not taking dumb bets says a LOT more about you than him. Clearly.

lolololol avatar bets based on the spread
