THE PAC12 THREAD v.4

[Olyduck]

That's okay. USC will be back soon enough to show you Ducks fans how a team is supposed to play on the big stages.

But hey, I hear you've won a Rose Bowl and a Fiesta Bowl kinda recently, so there's that.

How much are the agents paying these days for USC to show everyone that?

Derski-
No offense but you cited two AZ papers and a blog, of course they are going to go for the UA vs. ASU angle.

I grew up in the Seattle area as a Stanford fan, and now as a Stanford alum I work for one of the AZ schools. I have even worked security in the stadium during a U of A vs. ASU game. The territorial cup has nothing on the vitriol spewed between Huskies and Cougs in my youth, and not even a hint of the hatred between Oregon (rubbing an 11 year win streak in the Husky's faces) and UW (history, the Don James era, at least they have a national championship etc.).

The fact is many (note, not all) Husky fans were insufferable in their heyday and some Oregon fans took the hatred they developed in the days of getting pummeled by the dawgs and have turned it (in many cases) into the exact same chest thumping that many Husky fans did back in the day.

Both sides have points for and against IMHO.

I have never been to Autzen but my dad had a great time last year in his Stanford gear. I have had fun at every stadium in the PAC that I have been to. The only place I have been accosted (and my car keyed) was UW, but that was, in fairness, during the 2nd Bill Walsh era and after he had accused Don James of some shady behavior. I think that was '93 or '94 IIRC, the article hit the Sacramento Bee first and then got picked up by many other west coast papers.

The two AZ papers were citing this site.
Rivalry Database
Maybe I should have used that link to begin with but if you had read the first couple sentences of the article, you would have realized this. The blog was just to point out how intense the rivalry is to the in state residents.

I have no hate for them Toejambs what so ever! We all know that the U$C Football program is the cheating scum in FBS they strive to be and so does the NCAA!

Cheat-On!

About the same as Oregon pays for "recruiting info."

Tell me of a team that doesn't pay for recruiting info.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Just don't pay too much......

 

[WhiteMamba]

No Natty.

But winning all these games sure has been fun.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

This is more like it in this v. thread, fresh banter, name-calling and BS ratings. Pending TOs looming.

The smell of fall-ball is in the air girlz.

Only cfb team to finish in top 25 for the last 8 seasons.

Only cfb team w/ 7 straight 10+ win seasons

Most wins / fewest losses in fbs over last 5 seasons.

Only cfb team that holds a win streak vs every team in conference.

...... But this year "the Ducks take a step back" lol

Keep wishing

Recruiting info? Most if not all teams.
Paying a shady guy who really wasn't selling info but access to steer kids to that particular school? Enough that the coach got in trouble with the NZAA? I can think of one.

see my thing is how much "steering is too much?
If Im a scout talking to recruits and im looking at guys like La Michael James, Seastrunk, DAT, Nelson Im going to tell them to look at schools who do well with smaller sized backs vs teams that have the big back history.
Oregon, West Virginia types of schools vs Wisconsin and Oklahoma

When USC was winning in the 2000s. Rose Bowl wins were the down years. For ducks thats the highlight.
USC finished in the top 4 for eight straight years.

See ,his thing was he's getting paid by this one school. If you're just selling info about the kid. How good he is you're not supposed to be getting paid by a school to be in his ear. But nice try.

You are delusional if you think that the worst that has happened to Oregon fans at Husky stadium is bread crumbs and banter. but you didnt have to wash my vandalized car with Oregon stickers and plates on it. You werent there when i was pushed from behind and told to go back to Oregon, luckily some Washington fans stepped in on that one and me and my girlfriend were safely escorted out without being harassed more.

I don't doubt your story and never claimed to deny any other experience shared. If I had seen someone bringing that crap to you (or any other duck/fan of any team) I'd have stepped in as well, but I just haven't ever seen it. Might have more to do with the area I tailgate, who knows. I think the throwing bread at your fans is kind of stupid too and have never done it, but most of your fans have fun with it. I've seen many try to catch it in their mouths or make some kind of joke out of it. Having dog shit in bags thrown at you or hard dog biscuits is just something entirely different. If you've been to autzen for one of these games then you can't say you haven't at least seen the latter. It's everywhere.

How was that not SC's highlight?

They don't have a crystal ball to show for the "dynasty"

Oregon vs. Oklahoma

The yearly re-match that features at least one game changing turnover to talk about for eternity.
