Three times in a row to make an appearance in the CWS.
It’s a little shaky this year, but they aren’t out of it yet.

I do disagree though that Duck fans should be complaining. I think it is great how successful they have been. We don’t have any merit (Much less a current team) to be jealous for that.

Wow, way to add some constructive comments. It isn’t shocking that this level of discourse is coming from a Beaver fan.

As far as OSU coming close to winning a Pac-10 title, my point is not they didn’t finish close, it’s that they have been mathematically out of the running before November. Talk about excitement!

As far as Oregon being overhyped, I addressed in the post why Oregon has gotten that hype, despite it’s spectacular failures. Go ahead, say Oregon is overhyped, but quit your whining and moaning about it. It’s obnoxious. And quit being a troll.

“Only a idiot duck fan would be dumb enough to wonder why OSU fans are so jealous and then write an article about said jealously. Kettle meet black!”
Huh? Soo… he’s jealous of you because he wrote an article wondering why Beaver fans are jealous? I sure hope this is the extent of your logic you’ll demonstrate.

“So, logically speaking…”
Dang.

“OSU has been in the title hunt the last two years. “
So if you lose your first 2 Pac-10 games, you’re still in the hunt for the title? That is SO MUCH closer than we’ve ever reached. I should have been able to “ackknowledge” the obvious.

Fact is, Oregon is a hype machine. The school, the fans, the media over hype them each and every year. Then comes the melt down.
Whoa! Bringing “facts” to the table now.

Contiunue on w/ your obsession w/ what OSU fans think. It’s kind of cute!”

So did you scream in your hate pillow before you registered to post that, or was it just a “hit and run” through the “heat of the moment/passion” kinda troll post?

By the way, you’re cute too!

Let me do some simple analysis.
You hate the Ducks.
Most the Duck players are black.
So you must hate black people.

Racism hurts everyone. I’d had to see your name on a civil rights blog.

I think the Black Eyed Peas said it best:

And if you hatin you’re bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y’all

Stop the hating!

I think being in serious contention into November would be spitting distance. If the situation were reversed, and Oregon state had suffered those injuries on a title run, and much of the national media believe that they would have been in the title game without the injuries, I wouldn’t be begrudging this success to Oregon State.

And if your entire metric of success as a football program is civil war wins…well, I don’t know what to tell you.

glad to see that OSU education paying off

Did you seriously create an account just to post on this topic?

I’d rather fall down fighting at the end than crawl up to mediocrity.

Maybe I’ll have to rethink my non-hatred for Beavers fans if this sort of stuff it the norm.

etc., etc., etc.

The little brother may kick the big brothers ass every so often (or more often than not in this case)...

...but they will always have little brother syndrome.

I hate the fuskies WAY more than the beavs and I have a feeling that with neuweasel at fucla they move in to my #2 most hated spot.

I this forum call addicted to CRACK?

Just figured that parody out, eh?

These trolls are pretty classic. I kinda hope they don’t go away.

Finishing in the top 25 doesn’t equate excitement either.

its that people look at the top 25 at the end of the season and say “what the hell is OSU doing here?”. Nobody talks about you during the season because everyone outside the west coast only knows the Beavers for getting blown out on national TV in week two or three of the season.

thank you from a Ducks fan to a Beavers fan.

I think the advent (er, rather, rebirth) of UO baseball was less from jealousy and more from interest. All I’ve seen is crediting you guys with starting this for us.

That’s my honest opinion on it, that it’s not as much jealousy and more curiosity to restart a sport that is snowballing in the Northwest all of a sudden. This is not at all discrediting you guys. On the contrary, it’s really because of you guys. And I thank you for that.

The news of Bellotti’s salary made Beaver fans envious.

Oregon State has not reached a bowl game better than the Sun Bowl since the 2000 season, which included the 2001 Fiesta Bowl.

As for before 2002, there is no comparison. OSU got the better of UO in 2000, but the rest of the decade was no comparison whatsoever. Before 1999, OSU had not had a winning record since 1971. They were almost the joke that OSU basketball is now.

that a New Years Day bowl is not a part of the season up-to it?

Stooping to the depths is not what ducks do.

I agree though about the yet-to-arrive points and the UW rivalry. I’ve always had 4 times the animosity towards the Fuskies than the Beavs. I think I’ve said this before elsewhere… It’s all Oregon. When the ducks aren’t playing, and I want some respect drawn to the Pac other than SC, the Beavs get my support. Don’t make me withdraw that, trolls.

is that nobody takes you seriously becuase all everyone knows OSU for is getting blown out on national TV sometime in September.

DuckHater said “Last two years OSU has finished one game ouf of the Pac10 Championship. You can’t get any closer to a Pac10 title w/ out winning it. So, logically speaking OSU has been in the title hunt the last two years. Or, as you might say, just ackknowledging the obvious!”

To which JTLight replied “my point is not they didn’t finish close, it’s that they have been mathematically out of the running before November. Talk about excitement!”

So to use your marathon metaphor (and I admit I’m stretching it) I guess it would be the equivalent of a person who fell down at the start of the race, then that highlight was shown on National TV, then he/she start running at his/her top speed for the rest of the race even though everyone knows it was impossible to catch up.

Don’t insult my intelligence. I already explain why I said what I did, as others have pointed out.

If you’re going to come here, be respectful of others views. I have not denigrated your intelligence, so don’t do that to me.
