re: Oregon players: We don't want to play in the Rose Bowl, it's not a big deal

Two players aren't a bunch. Shitty thread title has of course helped you think this way.

Both players can kiss my arse. Surprised at Huff. DAT....not shocked he hasn't learned his lesson.

Bump.

Looks like the whole team said frick the Rose Bowl.

A good defense and work horse RB can always beat Oregon.

I'm laughing as much as everyone else, but this may be the best thing for the Pac 12. Stanford now is slotted for the Rose Bowl and maybe Oregon gets picked in the Orange Bowl against Clemson

sounds like a bunch of spoiled, ungrateful bitches to me!

Oregon is literally a joke of a program. Their current players are disgracing them.

The Chip Kelly culture of maintaining focus and respecting your opponent vanished when he left. We never made so many mistakes and looked so unfocused and unprepared under Chip. Never got blown out once aside from the 13-pt loss to LSU (second best team in the country), let alone blown out by an unranked team.


This new guy has to reign guys like DAT and Huff in. They are the elder statesmen on this team and are supposed to be "leaders". Well attitude reflects leadership, captain. This team has developed a sense of entitlement. They came out and embarrassed themselves.

This loss was horrible for the program, but serves as a wake up call. Our offense is a shell of what it was with LaMichael James and Darron Thomas running it. Blow outs have come so easy that players didn't think they had to execute at 100% to win. Missed blocks and weak effort everywhere. Missed tackles with guys trying to go for big hits and not making the fundamentally sound tackle. Bought into the hype, complacency set in, and we could not respond to adversity once this year.

Hopefully they enjoy the Holiday Bowl

I can see ASU getting the Alamo Bowl invite. UCLA/USC will get the Holiday bowl because the local fan base will eat up the tickets.

Send us to El Paso with a healthy serving of humble pie. I'm embarrassed of how entitled we became post Chip. I will always love my Ducks, I am PISSED that we lost, but sometimes you need to be humbled before you can become better. A lower bowl will have the guys who are coming back go into next year hungry to see a good season all the way through, and to not take the opportunity to win the PAC 12 and a trip to the Rose Bowl (or any access bowl for that matter) for granted.

Damn he mad

Not gonna happen, son. Do I think we will contend every year for a conference championship and a playoff berth? No. But this program will be a top-10 program because of the wealth of resources and commitment to excellence. Those are the two most important factors to winning - resources and commitment to winning. 8-4 seasons won't be tolerated. An 11-2 season has become a down season, as it should be. Arrogance and entitlement has been our undoing this year. Our offense has in fact become a "flashy trash offense" because players have been sloppy blocking and expect to just race past everyone. We need to get back to how we played a couple years ago, when we ran through Stanford and executed with focus. We just have to continue to recruit well and get back to the focused mindset that we had during the Chip Kelly era.

We have dominated the pacific northwest since 1995, Washington isn't sending us anywhere. We have better resources than they do, and right now we recruit better than they do. I'm sure they will bounce back eventually, but they haven't been a threat since 2001.

Oregon has become one of the premier programs because of it's facilities AND W-L record. We have been to four straight BCS games, won the last two, and have never been outside of the top 10 of the BCS rankings since mid-2009. That consecutive weeks streak will end tonight but it is top 3 in the BCS Era. We've won 12 games three straight seasons. Not many other programs have won 3 BCS bowls. You may think that's trash, but I'll take it.

tl;dr - We aint going nowhere. We have been humbled, and we need to realize that our undoing this year was a failure to execute and a lack of dedication to the craft.
