I will sacrifice someone else’s life to keep Oregon from winning a natty.

No. Lanning is doing a great job at Oregon but at this point it's clear it's been a well-oiled and insanely-funded system there for a long time. If he leaves, they'll just promote Stein or hire Dillingham or some high school coach or some shit and it won't skip a beat.

Oregon is as good as they are this year, because they paid for one of the best rosters in college football. They aren't going to stop buying those rosters when Lanning leaves. BONEM, but honestly its a lost cause to worry about rooting against them or caring what they do outside of playing UW anymore. They will be a playoff team, or close to it, for the foreseeable future and probably will win one someday. The only thing stopping them before, really was the lack of tradition and lack of being a recruiting destination.
New college football rules killed that. It's just legally pay to win now, and they will pay as much as anyone. Coach doesn't matter.
It's a really down year in college football this year too and they got a phenomenal draw in their schedule outside of getting the best Boise team since Petersen was there with Jeanty. I wouldn't concede that they're even going to win the Big 10 yet. I don't trust Day but Ohio State lost to them by one point with the ball at the 25 as time ran out in supposedly the craziest environment ever traveling across the country. LIPO.

Sure, but there will be more "down years" and more "favorable schedules" and they will always pay to have a roster that can be up there. It's almost hilarious how this is the second year in a row that they have "the most experienced QB in college football". They can just keep bringing in 27 year old professional college QBs whenever they need to. College football is professional football now and there is no program more willing to pay professional football salaries.

I voted “yes” 1) to be contrarian 2) I can almost see this coming true - Oregon gets to the natty, LOSES, and then Lanning goes to the NFL or pulls a DeBoer (goes to LSU).

I'm tired of fighting with Oregon guys about the same shit but Dillon Gabriel still playing college is a fucking joke. Any guy who has started four full years (and actually played 5) should not be playing and that includes Will Rogers. There's some hope that with the Covid year going away buying some sixth year senior QB is over.
The covid year did help some programs that are less just blank check obnoxious like UW and Michigan get past the Oregon's and Ohio States but that's over and unlimited bags and the dumb portal and pay for play media is really gonna make it hard to hold those programs back.
It doesn’t matter who coaches Oregon. Slingblade could have kept it rolling under the current system.
I have also just decided that we’re moving the goalposts and declaring that post Covid NIL championships don’t count. Most people have already forgotten that Michigan won last year or that UW even has a team.

I'm hearing that Phil is on the Epstein Island list that will soon be declassified.
