The second one—not the response to the first one—is good, too.

It would be awesome to play Oklahoma

I’d rather play an SEC team I think. We went to Oklahoma just a few years ago.

True

And shut up the SEC teams who claim that the Pac-10 isn’t that good compared to them…

No kidding. It’s unfortunate that none of the Pac-10 teams have really got to stick it to them in the past few years. It was good to see Miller defend that Oregon would take second in the SEC last year.

You guys were mentioned as a fantasy mention for Notre Dame

I pray it happens. You guys would smoke them, especially in Autzen. ND is usually pretty bad on the turf.

I won't even go to South bend to watch Purdue

Yet I would consider going to South Bend to watch you beat them. I like your team and your fans. I just can’t stand going up there into the heart of the arrogance.

I hope the feeling stays the same with your visit to Eugene.

And they’ll feel that regret and self loathing when they go home later and dwell on the a black eye they gave me. We’ll see who’s laughing then!

It’s hard to believe after a decade of being nothing but mediocre to poor, despite all kinds of “on paper” talent, that arrogance still exists at Notre Dame. I’m sure it’s just like at Washington where they hide their heads deep in the sands of ancient history.

I'm really tired of it not being football season.

by JConant on Jun 11, 2009 10:06 AM PDT up reply actions  

Actually, it's two decades now

At least Washington won a Rose Bowl in 2001 (sadly against us). Notre Dame has been pantsed by every bowl opponent except Hawaii since 1992.

Agreed on Washington though. I wish we had played you guys in that Rose Bowl.

Careful, Boiler. People are going to start saying you’re an Oregon Duck sympathizer. “People will say we’re in love.”

This is the internet. There’s little tolerance for kind, rational discussion. Are you really this reasonable a person or are you just angling for free beers and a juicy steak at the Oregon/Purdue tailgater?

LOL

Actually, I’ve always watched Oregon as a secondary team, then I met my wife. She’s actually a big Oregon fan even though she went to Miami. You guys really impressed me with your fans and team last season. I had been looking forward to that game for a long time because I like playing unique opponents at home other than the Big Ten, Notre Dame, or MAC du jour. I also love unique road trips. That’s the main reason I want to come out to Autzen in September. When am I going to get another chance to see Purdue play there? If you guys are hospitable hosts it is even better.

I would love to play ND

They would never play us because we aren’t a big enough name for their fans and they’d get their ass kicked….

We aren't a big enough name?

ND plays Nevada, Stanford and Uconn, I’d say we are a bigger name than those teams. But they would get there asses kicked.

What non-Pac-10 team would play Washington and Washington State in the same season? They should have bought out of one of those games on principle alone.

I think part of it too....

Is that they regularly play Pac-10 teams. Because of this, I don’t know that they have a lot of motivation to add more.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog

by jtlight on Jun 11, 2009 9:31 AM PDT up reply actions  

Good point. They do hook up with the Pac-10 regularly. It seems probable that ND and Oregon might schedule a home and home sometime down the road. What I don’t see is ND wanting any part of Oregon State or Dennis Erickson at ASU for about the next century.

We'd love to hook up with ND again.

They’ve been so good to us.

The stories I’ve heard about how ND players conducted themselves in the days leading up to the games are priceless. Not exactly the kind’ve classy behavior domers usually try to associate with their has-been program.

I’m sure. On the other hand, let’s remember that wasn’t exactly the classiest Beaver team ever either. Come on Chad, just act like you’ve been to the end zone before.

Meh. Doesn’t bother me. Extreme snots need to have their noses rubbed in it. The reason that very few people actually trashed us on that is because the college football world LOVED it.

ND was in ANOTHER bowl it didn’t deserve against an opponent whose time they were simply going to waste by showing up. I’m sure it goes both ways as far as smack talk leading up to the game, but don’t bring a knife to a gun fight when you’ve been running your mouths.

Two lovely games if I might say so myself.

Not sure why they’re surprised to miss on Montana. Isn’t he strictly a drop-back guy? Not exactly in the T. Pryor mold.

Sweatervest has coached just about every type of QB, so I’m not sure why that would matter.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog

by jtlight on Jun 11, 2009 3:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

True. But is he molding his offense around his QBs these days or is he trying to find QBs to suit his offensive system? Smith, Boeckman, and now Pryor. I guess at tOSU it doesn’t matter what “style” their QB is, they just plug in talent and keep rolling.

I thought he had some mobility. Thats why they had an unofficial visit last year, just kinda scopin’ out Oregon. He’s mobile like Wrecklessberger.

so there's a pretty good thread

over at the Utah Utes blog. Canard is holding his own but we need to set these guys straight.

by QuackinAK on Jun 11, 2009 2:32 PM PDT reply actions  

Not worth the effort

He thinks only Utah would be a consistent threat to USC in the conference. Plus, he thinks the Utes are better than both Oregon schools, and equal to Cal and…UCLA.

No point in debating crazy.

by grimc on Jun 11, 2009 2:57 PM PDT up reply actions  

The “dramatic drop off after USC” comment kind of turns me off. USC is great, but they have not gone undefeated in conference play in some time (Three years? Or, is it more?). Even many of the games they’ve won have been highly competitive…just ask Cal.

I will cut the guy some slack. When I take off my green and yellow glasses, I see that it must be really frustrating to be a Utah fan. I think they’re screwed until a playoff happens – something I hold out hope for happening in my lifetime.

I'm really tired of it not being football season.

by JConant on Jun 11, 2009 3:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

Also....

It’s stupid to think that expansion would make a few teams rise to the top….

Has anyone ever heard of the ACC, the most ridiculously mediocre conference ever?

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog

by jtlight on Jun 11, 2009 3:30 PM PDT up reply actions  

I can sympathize with his frustration, but arguing that Utah would instantly transform the conference is just plain delusional.

by grimc on Jun 11, 2009 4:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

Oh, what, you mean you don’t agree with his assertion that Utah would give the PAC 10 the IMMEDIATE injection of steady quality at the top we’ve needed to unseat USC?!

If that kid didn’t live in Utah I’d swear he was high or drunk.
