Hopefully a lot of room for all of those runner up trophies.

Uncle Phil didn't ask for a throne room or his own locker. The AD adds these things in to thank him for all that He's done for Oregon athletics.

Just because we haven't won a national championship doesn't mean we haven't done anything. Yes, we don't have a strong tradition, but you got to start somewhere.

Obviously some great facilities. But it seems obvious that the Duck's days in the sun have passed & they are no longer an elite team. And, yes, where are the NC trophies?


Wishful thinking. Oregon is here to stay. They're extremely committed.

Everyone has called for the Ducks' demise for 3 years and all Helfich has done is win. Helfrich is constructing a very talented roster.

That. Looks. Awesome. I know the old heads in here will hate it. But if I'm a recruit that visits this Performance Center, I'm mesmerized



Well we all it wouldn't take much to mesmerize you that's for sure.

Jesus Christ, that's awesome. Pay no attention to the hate in here

Crazy cool facilities is y'all's thing. Y'all need stuff like this to get people to come to Eugene. If I was visiting, I would be mesmerized by this.

Two rose bowl wins in a four year span. I know Oregon fans who before 2009 would have given anything to see one rose bowl win in their lifetime. The whole "NC or you suck" mentality is comical . Championships = greatness, but there are measures of being a very good, if not elite, program and Rose Bowl victories are one of them.

Oregon is set up nicely for a run in two years. The 2015 OL class was a home run class and Herbert, a true frosh, is the future at qb. Hoke has to turn around the defense, so we will see.

Take the interactive tour and watch the players lunge.....Even Oregon players fantasize about playing for LSU...pay attention to the NCAA game screen on the TV.

I'm not "excited" for the season but the two after should be good ones.

You should worry less about Oregon and more about Alabama or Arkansas for that matter.

Even though we lost, we played incredibly well and if look at where that 2010 team is today, you just have to WTF how they came so close to winning that and finishing undefeated. The 2010 Natty uniforms are my favorite of the new era Ducks.
