Can we just take a moment to recognize, acknowledge and memorialize that these unis are about as perfect as it gets
After 30 years, many putrid choices, a lot of pretty damn good, a few meh, and of course a Cal or Oregon Trail jersey mixed in here or there...
THESE are PERFECT
@RexChapman

Nice little run
Altman in 14 seasons at Oregon
3× Pac12 Coach of the Year (2013, 2015, 2016)
4× Pac12 Tournament 2013, 2016, 2019, 2024

Never won fewer than 20 games
I think we keep him
Last 10 years did your club win 100 games or more?
123- Alabama
116- Clemson
109- Oklahoma
107- Boise State
105- Ohio State
102- Wisconsin
101- LSU
100- Oregon
Top 8 it is.
How many great games did you see here?
How many times did you rush the court?
Did you ever get to actually play on this hallowed court?
Can we make it a basketball museum... this place had a magic you can't find in a modern facility.
Dana has never won fewer than 20 games while at Oregon, he's averaged 24.57 wins a year, he's won coach of the year 3 times, he's made the tournament 9 of 14 years which is 64.28% of the time, he's won the Pac12 tournament 4 times and the Pac12 regular season 4 times
we're lucky
I'm not saying Oregon is better than Georgia, I'm saying if we lost to a 4-6 South Carolina team at home who has also lost to Appalachian State, North Carolina, and Tennessee (to name a few)...
we'd be ranked
#47
Something about walking this to a Duck game is just magical
I can't even describe it, and if you've never done it I won't bother trying to explain
But most of you know
Dixon/Boucher’s knee, push in the back versus North Carolina, DAT not blocking, Dyer down, Stanford TE being out of bounds... these things haunt me.
This “story” doesn’t even cause me indigestion
Fun fact:
Oregon Football, Women's, & Men's Basketball are a combined 139-19 over the past 4 years at MKA/Autzen, winning a redunkulous 88% of the time.
Don't take em for granted kids, these teams, players & coaches are special.
Nice little run by Sabrina, Justin, Payton & co.
Seriously though
Dante misses 2 months
Bittle misses most of the yr
Barthelemy dislocates ankle
Zarzuela we hardly knew thee
Cook never gets healthy
YET we have 22 Ws & are in the conf final after beating Zona
If you don't get how good of a coaching job that is, I can't help you
Here's the deal peeps.
For the 60K that are going to journey to Autzen this weekend I am trying to make you understand the gravity of this game and get you a little fired up to raise the intensity and vibe in the stadium. We can truly make it impossible to audible if we want to.
Busy 58 days
Dec 6 Mario leaves
Dec 11 Ducks hire Lanning
Dec 15 Early Signing Day implodes
Jan 11 Lanning still coaching, wins natty
Feb 2 Lanning salvages top 25 class that had imploded
Credit to Dan for pulling that all together in a hurry under rough circumstances
First time longtime
@DezBryant
Q: Why is faking a punt up 13 with 14:36 to go in the...checks notes, 2nd Quarter disrespectful?
Seriously, how is "that" disrespect?
Had Oregon punted and CU scores its 13-7 middle of the 2nd
Please define: "disrespectful"
This why I don’t like talking with casuals
I said Oregon was disrespectful for faking the punt near there end-zone
I understand you hate Colorado
Stay in the game
middle aged white Oregonian Dad here
Walz fucking crushed it for my demo
Middle of the road football coach guy that comes across like the IDEAL middle American thoughtful super dad you can trust and absolutely wish your Dad/next door neighbor had actually been like role
Tim Walz ticks through his upbringing, including the early death of his father, and says: "Thank God for Social Security survivor benefits and thank God for the GI Bill that allowed my dad and me to go to college and millions of other Americans."
Autzen seemed as “full” as it can be
I thought it was loud, but not, I can’t hear you and my ears are bleeding loud, like sometimes
I believe it’s time to enclose and finish the other side. Make the stadium tighter, more enclosed, more amenities, not bigger… just better/louder
If you’d have said to me:
“Dec 2018, 8-4 holiday bowl, top 5 recruiting class, and we return a boatload of starters for 2019”
last year at this time when Willie was bailing I’d have said please And thank you.
Never underestimate the strain of changing coaches 3 years in a row
Biggest questions now:
1. Does Herbert Come Back
2. Does Mitchell Come Back
3. Does Dye Come Back
???
If so we return our entire O
and 8/11 on D
Infuse about 16 4-stars into the mix.
It gets better y'all.
I'd like to point out at least half a dozen of you clowns were calling for Altman's head in the past month or so
What he's done without Dante/Bittle/Cook/Zarzuela and not having Shelstad the full season is a small miracle
Dana is an Oregon treasure and should be treated as such
Close your eyes, I'm describing a program...
25 yrs
Wins 55% of the time
Loses 18 to a rival
Wins 1 major bowl
7 coaches in 25 yrs
4 fired
1 quit in shame
1 quit cuz he's tired
1 left for a different gig in conf
Now open your eyes
What did you see?
It's Washington
Woof indeed
Close your eyes, I'm describing a program...
25 yrs
8th most Ws in CFB
Win 71.4%
36-13 in last 25yrs vs top 2 rivals
12 Bowl Ws, 4 major
Most Ws in Conf
6 Conf championships
$Billion+ invested in facilities
Now open your eyes
What did you see?
It's Oregon
Quack Quack y'all
It’s possible that he died of a broken heart after the breakup of the Pac12
Love ya Bill, RIP from the San Juans, through the Willamette Valley, past majestic Crater Lake through the Redwoods and on to the wild of the Grand Canyon, the conference of champions will miss you
To be clear, I’m not shitting on Christianity
I’m shitting on people dumb enough to give the Falwell family money, for two generations of scumbaggery under the guise and grift of Christianity
Big big difference
Clearly "threw" it between the 26/27 yard line as his left plant foot is in front of 27 thus the ball left his hand (regardless of fumble/pass) at about the 26.5 yard line
Ball landed at or behind the 27
Anyway you interpret it, the ball went backwards
UnFUCKINGbelievable
according to 247 Patrick Herbert, was formally the nation's 355th ranked recruit now he's ranked at 162, the sixth best tight end nationally. That's a serious jump and shows he's a big time talent not just some dudes kid brother
Forgive me for being obtuse, but the Beaver is in fact the thing that cuts trees down
A beaver would not need a chainsaw (lacking the chain no less)
It would be like if the Duck players carried around a hang-glider so we too could fly, like a bird
It's redundant, no?
Who’s a little fired up for some Track Town Pizza, quick walk thru campus, stroll up 13th, pit stop at Rennie’s, the leaves falling near the scenic footbridge, a tailgate or 3, a silver bullet in the Mo, catching up with old friends, and an ass whooping of USC at night in Autzen
In the last 78 years Oregon basketball has had 18 seasons with 20 or more victories
Dick Harter coached 1
Ernie Kent coached 4
Dana Altman coached 13 of them. In 13 consecutive seasons.
Please shut the fuck up if you even thought much less typed Dana should be fired this year
We need a season where UW beats us twice, beats Sark in the playoff...
Only to then lose to a much more physical team in Michigan, in the natty to finally make UW fan fully feel the deep, deep, deep pain we've known on so many occasions
It's the only way
to be clear Dana just took a team on the brink of disaster to 10 straight Ws, made the sweet 16, and took a 1 seed to the edge with a unit that lost its best player, starts 2 freshman, a nobody who's all conference... if that's not a coaching masterpiece I don't know what is
@RexChapman
One of those situations where people need to walk away from the computer/phone…
Sarah calling out his clown takes requires no apology regardless of who it was directed at
BREAKING
Coach PRIME has his team flying into Eugene a day PRIOR to the gm, is doing a walk through AND having a team dinner filled with healthy foods before an early lights out
This level of detail & innovation is what makes Coach Prime such a fantastic coach
Changing the game
I love all the local hackish media talking about a "step backward" for Oregon.
Facts:
Vegas had us as a 8.5 over/under win team. We've got 10, won the north, and have 2 to go.
We haven't had double digits Ws since 2014. We do now.
How's that backwards?
For all you fucking nubes that don’t know shit about shit yet are allowed to pontificate on Twitter about Duck basketball
This is Altman
Frosh point guard and power forward
Starting 7 footer, 6th man, 5 star wing, and senior guard out
and Dana just coaches his balls off
-Ducks are 13-3, in first place in the P12 by themselves
9-0 at home
-Played all but 2 games without Dante, their most veteran, biggest, and best player
-Bittle has been out most of the season
-We're starting 2 frosh
Dana deserves a statue
DAMN RIGHT! New 186′ x 66′ video board and point-source sound system above the East end zone terrace at Autzen Stadium. The $12 million project, which will be funded by private gifts!
