Well that’s how you really feel? I was about to congratulate the PU women. Indeed, the team and coaching staff deserve praise and the fine press Mr. Canzano has given them.

However, your snark regarding the U of O will make me cheer on the Sooners this Saturday! Enjoy the short tournament ride but until you can field a football team stay in your lane.

MY remark had nothing to do with UP. It was responding to U of O getting all the press and hype.

Every year the are ranked in Football and Basketball. Plus ink on their top recruits.

My mistake. Still hope U of P gets more press! These women are for real... reading positive stories about them upon their confidence. ❤️

Wow, Brenner, try getting up on the other side of the bed tomorrow Grumpy Gus! Really, you would cheer against an Oregon team that deserves everyone's support after the effort they put in because one person posted a subtle dig at your alma mater, I thought by the time we passed 70 years of age everyone would stop acting like they are in a schoolyard. I'm just waiting for you to post, "I know you are, but what am I?" 😉 You think because U 0f P doesn't choose to invest the inordinate amount of money required to field a competitive football squad somehow they are a lesser institution than U of O and therefore should, "Stay in their lane"? Get a soccer team and get back to us. In the meantime, I'm sure the team would rather not have you jump on the bandwagon - we have real sports fans here.😎

Calm down Cowboy or Marlboro Man, sorry Maverick. I apologize, you “real” fans there at U of P are new to the lime light. Having from what little I know or care to know about your institution’s athletic history done very little in the past. I was guilty of punching down.

String a few seasons like this one together and get back to me. Until then, welcome to the dance you guys punched your ticket this year, something the Duck teams were unable to do.

Apology accepted, hey, everyone gets up on the wrong side of the bed occasionally. And I appreciate the acknowledgement that the Pilots outperformed Ducks this year. Then, dang it, you come back with another low blow. Punching down? Get a football team (not American college ball) but a real football (stay with me , you yanks call it soccer) and then compare notes. The U of P women's team is among the best ever... your education continues. Punching down? 😂 Get back in your lane. https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/university_of_portland_pilots_women_s_soccer/#.ZA_AqC-B1mA

Does UP have a choice? Would UP reject PK's $ if offered?

I very much doubt it.

You mean on football? Phil knows the heritage of this school well. He's too smart to offer. Walk that campus one time and you will know what I mean.

I guess I hit a sour note. What football team are you referring to? I assume OSU
