Now your duck feathers are showing. There’s that arrogance we all know. Even your former AD Pat Kilkenny said that the only difference between the two schools success in athletics is because of Phil Knight. Even with all that money you still don’t have any National Championships. Yet you act like you are a blue blood. Blue blood programs win championships! The big ten will teach you all about it. I’m a loyal beav and will keep cheering on our teams. Thanks for caring about my mental health though. I think I’ll be okay but I always sleep a little better when your arrogant fanbase gets so close yet so far. The sad part is that the whole state enjoyed the civil war for a hundred plus years and it was all thrown away by UO. Now they want to make it work while we operate on half the money and resources. Sorry Bill but don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining. I’d rather play Fresno State.
Read the comments presented by Backdoor regarding the FACTS on how the conference imploded. There are many reasons the conference died. Your hatred of the Ducks has blinded you from the truth.
ActuallyJosh, moving down to play Fresno State and the rest of the MWC is probably more in tune with real community football, Corvallis football. There is certainly a lot less money at that level both coming in and going out. I just hope OSU can pay for that new stadium without having P5 status.
The Beavers will be at the top of that league most every year, for awhile at least, and you can then be arrogant, like me!😃 Best of luck!
The stadium is already paid for so we don’t have that to worry about. I think we are both fans of our programs and can respect that. It just really sucks when the Beavs have all this momentum and deserved respect only to have it snatched away by greedy media companies. I just don’t think people realize how much this hurts fans and then to ask us to turn around and play nice with program that gave the final blow is too much no matter how much it may help. I’d say good luck but I can’t ever wish luck to the ducks ever but good luck to you Bill in all other things😇
I also agree that the almighty dollar has taken over college sports and it’s a shame. It will never be what it used to be when I was in college many years ago.
Thanks Josh. I too wish the PAC-12 demise had never happened, and I truly root for OSU in every way except when they play my team. And I hope they put a resounding beat down on the Huskies today! I wish you all the best.
You say some nice things above then dig deeper to cast insults that our team is pathetic and half the state cares not about OSU. You start with being gratuitous then youre deep seeded feelings quickly come out. Now do you understand whay Beaver faithful are frustrated when some of your fanbase has deep seeded sentiments like yours?
What I was trying to say is that more than half the state never cares about any football, never watches any games, has no loyalty to any team. While there are those that are avid fans of both the Beavers and Ducks, there are avid fans of Portland State, Eastern Oregon etc., plus many who have moved here that are avid fans of their out of state teams. It is a mistake to say “half the state is hurting about what’s happened to OSU football.” My guess is it might be more like 5-10% of the total Oregon population.
I do understand. I also understand it’s all about the game of football. Fans are like players…good friends off the field, fierce and loyal on the field. Fans trash talk, it’s nothing personal! I hope you take fan banter as part of the game, not part of real life. Football is a game, full stop.
Half the state?? HaHaHa!! If half the state cared one whit about Beaver football they could get a huge TV contract of their own.
Death blow? My god, you’re optimism in your team Is pathetic.
By the way, unforgiveness hurts you a lot more than it will ever hurt the ones you hate. I’m sad for you, Josh.
It’s football Josh. It’s a game, not life. The sky is not falling.

I like our new rival...WSU. Time for a NEW ERA.
