2017 Oregon Ducks similar to 2007 team?

[Olyduck]

Weird i could swear that at least 1 team every year doesnt say what if, but actually does get the natty.

Oregon's 2007 what if year was due to Dennis Dixon getting hurt, the third string getting hurt, the 2nd string getting hurt then finishing the regular with the 4th string QB and starting the 5th string QB in the bowl. When Dixon was in and healthy they were #2 and Dixon was a Heisman candidate.

 

[Olyduck]

Thanks for providing a perfect example of what I was talking about in the other thread, OregonDucks

and you opinion matters because?

 

[Ottermatic]

and you opinion matters because?

Clearly it doesn't to you.

Nothing that might possibly contradict your opinion that 2007 Oregon was the greatest college team ever, and Oregon is the most prestigious program in the Pac 12, and is a sleeping giant, just waiting to reclaim the glories that they were robbed of in 2007 (or, rather, to claim them in the first place), could possibly matter to self-important Oregon fans.

Didn't Ohio state entirely bury you with a 3rd string qb?

Winners win. Losers offer excuses.

I was never buried

 

[Ottermatic]

I'm not talking about you specifically, Olyduck. As far as I know, this is our first ever interaction

I'm characterizing (and yes, parodying) the average Oregon fan that I've met online over the past decade

 

[WizardHawk]

Oh not that lame shit again.

THE Ohio State buckeyes entirely left the Oregon ducks for dead in a bowl game using a 3rd string qb the entire game.

Offer more excuses.

lame shit? I have always posted and talked this way. I do not refer to Oregon as us or we. I am not nor have I ever been on the team. going back to CBS boards that's how it is. nothing I do or say has any impact on the game.

and yes Ohio State did do that. that doesn't mean every team could do that. and doesn't even mean Ohio State could do that every year.

Every fan base can do that every year. If Browning hadn't got hurt last year. If Victor and a couple of other starters on defense weren't hurt. If if if.

It's a part of the game. For everyone. Oregon didn't win when they had titles in front of them. That's the reality.

 

[Skerpokes]

If Tom Osborne didn't have balls of steel and went for 1 instead of 2 Nebraska would have 6 Natty's instead of 5

But we don't.

Still 5 more than oregon though

Not a bad season given all the injuries. I do remember Dixon and he was a badass! This is one of those seasons where you pour a whiskey on the rocks and think about what might have been... but don't do it too often or you'll turn into OD!

Sun Bowl was QB5 #3 got hurt mid season in practice. QB4 and 5 i believe were Freshman

See, that's the lame shit I was talking about.

You know damned well what he meant, even if it isn't stylized correctly.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Before Dennis Dixon got hurt, the neutral observers on the ESPN boards were solidly behind an LSU vs Oregon national title game.

2007 was a weird year.
