Column: Oregon wins Rose Bowl with players who should be on USC or UCLA

"Oregon football owns Southern California.'

The truth was as startling as the screaming Ducks who danced around a green-confetti-strewn Pasadena field early Wednesday night as if it was their backyard.

For many, it was,.. Oregon just won the Rose Bowl with a roster including more than 30 players who grew up within 70 miles of that Rose Bowl."

.... “We run L.A.,” receiver Mycah Pittman said
“We’ve got all these SoCal recruits because, if you want to win, you come to Oregon, that’s all there is to it,”

... “We’re taking over,” he said. “Get away from home, get out of trouble, get away from all the distractions, grow as a player and a man, become a Duck, and I promise you won’t regret your decision.”

The final message of the night came from Troy Dye, delivered to his Southern California neighbors as he sat in a smoky, dizzying Ducks locker room

“I know you grew up watching the Rose Bowl, I know you want to shoot for playing in the Rose Bowl, I know you want to win the Rose Bowl,” Dye said. “If you want to do that, you come to Oregon.”

after the game the Oregon players smoked victory cigars in the locker room

 

lol,.. I know

but it gave me a chance to brag,.. that LA Times column was just the best recruiting publicity ever

 

that's how I feel

Ohio St at Oregon,.. cancelled

The Oregon Ducks marquee non conference football matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes slated for Sept. 12 at Autzen Stadium will not be played because the Big Ten Conference is moving to a conference-only model for all sports for this fall.

 

"The Pac-12 has yet to announce definitive plans for its fall sports seasons, but a similar decision to the Big Ten’s is expected, The Athletic reported."


I always try to find a bright side,.. but it's getting very dark
