Why Oregon fans will never get it

[geneh_33]

Glad to be there geneh. The Big East was an anchor.

We're as excited as a cat on a hot tin roof to have you guys and Pitt! Well, maybe excited in a more positive way than that, I mean.....

with all due respect, please post a facility that is better than Oregon's. I would love to see it. Honestly.

I think this just shows you out of tune you are with todays college football. Facilities are a HUGE tool in recruiting and a programs success. Just because Michigan doesn't have it and has just drifted off into the college football Wikipedia world for todays athletes, doesnt mean you try to down play the important of todays game.

No better means that it's at most on an equal level. It doesn't necessarily imply that there are ones that are better. It's all based on personal opinion. It's a locker room for gods sake. A new building is a new building.

Once schembechler hall is completed, Michigan will have either built new or modified every single football facility on campus. So your notion is not based on any facts.

I don't know if USC's is better, but it's in the conversation!! Even has an underground practice field, which is just soooo cool!!

Yep... Ol Lloyd also said Autzen was where great teams go to die....

Shut up TF12.....

Good man here. MOST UM fans are good people.

I'm a bad person because I think Oregon has peaked and that their constant bragging about facilities is tired and old? Interesting perspective, one that I don't quite understand.

 

[geneh_33]

Oh, and Notre Dame, too, I guess. Naw, we really love them, too!

(I'm Catholic so I really can't ever slight Notre Dame!)

This tradition thing is not spewed by the Bama's of the world...

Just certain Michigan and Texas fans that cant accept change.

Imagine that...

Bama fans dont say "We were better than you then"

They say we have always been better than you....

Thank GOd for Bammers they dont hang on tradition and are a progressive football program....

He couldn't help himself.

Who has the crystal ball from 1997? I think that is the one that matters. You got that wooden POS trophy you're excited about?

Why does that matter, it only came about in the late 80's. So you're saying a championship in 1985 is irrelevant? Michigan has the AP national title trophy sitting in a case.

Dude, there are 2 things you don't understand very well.

1. Football tradition

2. Football


Michigan is not very good right now while Oregon is very nearly at the top of the pyramid. Don't be so envious on a message board. Be envious with your fellow UM fans but don't embarrass yourself like this.

You tried to take Minnie down with you but FAILED. Quit while you are behind. If you are trying to troll, just fugget about it already.

Minnesota has more AP National Championships than Michigan does. Back in your grandpa's era, Minnesota was -the- program, and its success basically spawned Oklahoma's too.

I still think who awarded national titles is irrelevant. In a couple of years with the BCS trophies be irrelevant because there's a new system?

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

and you're mad, because after all that spending and when you're finally finished, it wont even compare to Oregon.

You're right, it will be better - as the indoor field already is. And we'll have trophies to put in it.

This private school stuff is killing me. They are tight with the greenbacks.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

peaked? You mean still climbing. Oregon isn't slowing down, you don't peak and build this giant facility. You build this giant facility while you're still climbing up to the top.

Let's be honest here OD, Oregon "builds it" because Uncle Phil is alive-n-well and seeling sneakers and golf clubs is all.


Oregon State is heading to the "Big House" to visit the "ghosts of Bo" soon enough. Michigan will have all they can handle from the 2nd best that the State of Oregon has to offer. Let's just start there with that.

The State of Oregon does not have, nor do we want, 1 thing that the State of Michigan does have...DETROIT, and GL2U with that "ball-n-chain" of a city.

Since the inception of the crystal ball, that is the main one that mattered. Why do you think in the BCS doesnt even CALCULATE the AP votes!?!?!?!?

 

[WhiteMamba]

I don't know if USC's is better, but it's in the conversation!! Even has an underground practice field, which is just soooo cool!!

Yeah, I think the top 20 programs in the country can make a very valid argument that they have the best facilities.

At a certain point what argument is there? You have bad ass facilities, we have bad ass facilities, they have bad ass facilities.

Oregon's are just done differently and have a ton of bling and swag...

To each their own... a Bama plorster said it best....

"Oregon's facilities are awesome, but that would stick out like a sore thumb in SEC land"

Michigan is kinda like the Detroit Auto economy -- oh remember when. I was at the game in the Big House - they were making fun of the uniforms etc.... Spewing about tradition --- now 6 years later spewing the same stuff. Funny Lloyd Carr said Autzen was the loudest stadium he'd ever been in over 10 years ago. Seems to me UO is on the chair lift and UM has crashed at the bottom of the hill.

Congrats on the loud stadium, no one ever said it wasn't loud. Our stadium is large (by design), yours is loud (by design).

the more and more this thread turns into Michigan history, I am starting to wonder what tradition Michigan truly has?

Seems like they don't have all that many titles, but a piece of wood plaque that states they shared the title with someone.

They have been under Ohio States shadow for decades.

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

DAMN!! USC didn't get control over the Coliseum to do what we want with it until about 2 weeks ago!!


I guess we don't have tradition either!!

So you're comparing playing in the metrodome to the Coliseum.....
