Good set for a ****o.

If the Big 8 sucked, so did the SEC. Again, the SEC didn't become super dominant until about 2004. they had Tennessee and Florida in the 90s, that's about it. Georgia in the 80s.

Hell, most conferences all "sucked" compared to your definition back in the day, most conferences only had 2 or 3 good teams each year. Football back then isn't like it is today where conferences can be 5 good teams deep.

But go ahead waste your time digging up shit from the 1940s.

Here's your post I promised:

Alabama wins an average of 10 games a season with Gene Stalling from 1990 to 1996 and that includes 4 SEC championship games and the National Championship in 1992. Florida wins it in 1996 and Tennesee wins it in 1998. Auburn goes 11-0 in 1993 but on probation. But SEC was only UF and UT? Auburn was more dominant in the 80's than Georgia. Georgia was very good early 80's Auburn mid 80's and Bama,UT and Auburn late 80's. Records to follow but here is OU's record in the big 2 and the little 6 otherwise known as the big 8.(1990's)

OU's record (90's) compared to Alabama's

OU (this was Nebraska's stiff competition) Kansas St
1990 8-3 5-6
1991 9-3 7-4
1992 5-4 5-6
1993 9-3 9-2
1994 6-6 9-3
1995 5-5 10-2
1996 3-8 9-3
1997 4-8 11-1 (ranked 8th)
1998 5-6 11-2 (10th)
1999 7-5 11-1 (6th)

When Kansas St is your second best team of the 90's

Bama
1990 7-5
1991 11-1
1992 13-0
1993 9-3-1
1994 12-1
1995 8-3
1996 10-3
1997 4-7
1998 7-5
1999 10-3 ( 1 point loss in OT to Michigan in ORANGE BOWL and Tom Brady)

Also Florida was the dominant team and Tennessee was strong with Georgia,Auburn, LSU having several good years. Remember Arkansas and South Carolina joined in 1992. Conference had 12 teams.

Nebraska played teams like Kansas(won 10 games in '95, 8 in '92 next best was 6), Iowa St(4 games was the most they won in 90's), Oklahoma St(won 8 games in '97, next best was 5), Missouri(won 8 in '98 next best 7 once,5 once, 4 twice), Kansas St and Colorado besides OU. I looked at their records in the 90's and besides K State and Colorado the others sucked! I mean badly! Look them up!

Keep in mind Kansas, Iowa St, Okie St, Missouri, and OU were all bad teams in the 90's. Damn, someone had to win some games. It looks like it was Nebraska and Kansas St with Colorado next and below is their record

Colorado (3rd best team in conference in 90's)
1990 11-1-1
1991 8-3-1
1992 9-2-1
1993 8-3
1994 11-1
1995 10-2
1996 10-2
1997 5-6
1998 8-4
1999 7-5

You mentioned OU was good in the 80's and they had some good years but my point is this is all Nebraska played and they would go 12-1 or 11-1 or 10-2, several 9-3's, every year but lose to the only decent teams they played UNTIL the championships in 1994-1995 -1997. That was my point! You can say what you want and look at it on the surface and it's looks like what you say but some of us know more of the truth than others! Go play nice and tell all the popular kids how good their teams are but Nebraska was a paper tiger from the 80's into early 90's until they won those titles. Fact! Now don't get me wrong, winning those titles changed their perception big time.FYI, don't think I pulled anything from the 40's.

2 things.

Anyone can agree on this. Cost doesn't always equal best. There are plenty of buildings and facilities that have been built around the world that cost top dollar, but ended up being eye sores and embarrassments.
While there is no doubting Uncle Phil has poured more money into Oregon's athletic facilities than any single individual has in the history of college athletics (over 500 million), all those millions hasn't instantly translated into "best". All their facilities look like Niketown stores. You walk into them and it's like you've walked into a Dubai hotel lobby with a bunch of Nike swooshes and marketing crap painted everywhere. You feel 0 tradition or history when you walk into them because they are specifically designed to sell you something. In this case, Nike. The fact they're purpose is athletic facilities is almost an after thought. For Christ sakes, the basketball arena is named after Phil Knight's son who never even went to the school.

All are designed by Uncle Phil's personal architect since the 1980s, Bob Thompson at TVA architects. They did his house, Nike HQ, and about everything else in his business empire, including all the new UofO facilities and Niketown stores. Every single building thus of course looks similar. UofO now resembles a boring corporate campus, more than a school's AD. It's devoid of those individual touches that work together to create something unique and the tradition you constantly build upon. When a group of alumni and the school work together on these projects. Especially in a university/college environment.


Sorry Ducks. You've all adopted "trailer park lottery winner" syndrome because of Knight's checkbook. Win the lottery, move out of the trailer park into a mansion, then try to brag about how hard you had to work to get those digs, and throwing money around to bring attention to yourselves. Expecting everyone who ooh and ahh over you, and pouting when they yawn instead. Trying to buy tradition, instead of working for it. End of day, everyone see's you for what you are. The Paris Hilton of colleges.

Can't argue with the perception and analysis. But the recruits like that shit.

It's just the age we live in.

To be fair, I really haven't saw very many Oregon fans here that are that out of touch with their current situation. Most seem to know they're new on the scene and are grateful to be in the position they're in and know they've found a different way to promote what they're doing and not necessarily the past. They're all about looking ahead and selling that outlook the best they can.

Oregon has taken CFB marketing to a new level.

Stopped reading there lil brother.

And your facts are wrong. Phil has dumped 300+ mil to Oregon and 200 mil to his other alma mater Stanford....

Nice try though....

dont be so
