His post was spot on. It’s a tiny arse hippy track school that happens to be backed by Phil Knight and one of the greatest brands on earth.

His post expressed surprise that a great school in a city of 400k that has a donor unlike any other building palatial facilities all over campus has been able to stay relevant the last 20 years as the arms race heated up at all time levels.

Nobody should think what Oregon did is remarkable. There isn’t a program in major CFB that wouldn’t be relevant with a backer like Phil Knight.

Great school? It’s not even top 125.

There’s tons of schools with great facilities now.

Yes the X factor is Phil Knight and even with checks it’s amazing they get dudes out there. Middle of nowhere and marginal AF weather.

It is weird that they’ve been able to roll continuously, regardless of coach. Guess it is just the jersey shite.

it really isn’t

You think football recruits GAF if there are 20k or 50k students? They care about the facilities and how much money they’ll be paid. It’s a nice town, beautiful campus, not some dump.
