THE PAC12 THREAD v.4

[Olyduck]

Oregon has numerous displays of trophys and rings around the Hatfield Dowlin Complex. Not just 1 case, not just a room or hall. they are just spread out trough the building.

 

[WizardHawk]

Neat. Many of those look very similar to the participation trophies my son still has from his earlier sports days.

Still not seeing the NC trophies or the 12 wins in a row against a rival trophy your fans try to trumpet. But if all of those second/third/lower tier bowl trinkets and bobbles excite your fan base then by all means enjoy them.

I don't know, 1 Heisman trophy does seem to be just as good as nibbling off of Miami's NC.

So a personal achievement trophy is the same as a team one?

That coug education showing through again.



(pssst, Mariota won the Heisman, not the university of Oregon)

Please, the Heisman says as much about the team as it does the individual, especially recently. When was the last time it was awarded to a player on a team outside of the top 5?

What's the name on that trophy? Right.

EVERY individual award/trophy is impacted by the team. It's still not a team award/trophy. Still not a shock that the duck nation wants that to be different though. Guaranteed if they hadn't shit the bed vs tOSU and had a real trophy in that building the Heisman wouldn't be nearly as prominent.

But you keep on telling yourself whatever you need to if it helps you cope with all those horrible beat downs in recent bowl games. I can't say I blame you at all.

1 achievement trophy is kind of the same as claiming stake to someone else's championship. It's all good, with all of UW's prestigious history, you guys have exactly half a championship more than Oregon or us.

Always enjoyable reading a coug trying to put ANYONE else down. So much comedy value there.
Is there anyone in the conference you can actually claim something better on? I'm not thinking so.

It's not working bro. You can put down whatever you feel like and it won't change the dead facts of the matter. UW has several titles and WSU hasn't ever even sniffed the panties of one. And almost certainly never will.

 

[wazzu31]

You're right, we've never sniffed the panties. But we didn't rub the leg and run around telling everyone we banged her either like Huskies do

 

[WizardHawk]

Meh, I'll give that a C+. Too early to be drunk yet?

 

[socaljim242]

I think until Oregon has at least one more Rose Bowl win than Alabama they shouldnt be talking and posting pictures of trophies and accomplishments. Seriously , I dont know whats in those trophy walls (probably track trophies) but other than MMs Heisman (yes its his award) they haven't won squat.

Imagine that, a school that's main athletic focus was on track until the 90's has way more track trophies and championships than football. What's your next revelation that water is wet?

 

[SUBuddha]

22 straight directors cups. Yeah, they had to get donations to expand the trophy room for all 106 NC's (yes no modern era football NC's, I admit that) 22 directors cups, 2 women's and one men's capital 1 cups. I know this is the football board, but lets remember that UCLA, Stanford and USC are carrying the conference for NC's across all sports.

 

[WizardHawk]

Well jim, at least they admit oly was trying to pass off track trophies as football ones. That's a step in the right direction anyway.

 

[CCF151]

Just remember if you're watching any of the Rio track and field events this summer there's a good chance the US athlete is a Duck.

posting the pictures wasnt trying to be a brag. just that Oregon has trophies. Rose Bowls, Fiesta Bowls Pac 12 titles other bowls, individual awards like Doak and Heisman. just a counter reference point to who ever posted an empty case saying its Oregons.
and no those arent the track trophies those are kept somewhere else

Pretty sure it says University of Oregon on it just as well as it says Marcus Mariota

Whatever heals the pain of blowing a 31 point lead.

Horrible beat downs? 6 wins of last 10 post season games. losses by 9, 3 on the last play of the game, 22 that was still 20-28 going into the 4th quarter or the 3 OT 6 point loss?

knowing that Oregon has never gone 0-12 helps a lot.
