Good podcast again guys.
Just my 0.02 @koopdog, but I think you should have stuck to your guns describing Oregon's store bought teams (great line by @DerekJohnson) as really really good, not great.
Oregon has had an excellent run. They deserve a lot of credit for what they've done, even more so when you consider they have done so without vast in state high school talent to build upon. Coffee cups or not, Oregon has done a great job in building a program. However, IMO, what has kept them from being considered great has been their inability to handle really good physical teams that have speed and are disciplined. Teams like Ohio State, LSU, even Boise State. Running past inferior opponents looks impressive, but I don't think a football team can be considered great without having the physicality to take it to anyone they face.

I don't disagree with you in principle, but I was trying to suck Derek off so I can do more podcasts with him.
Seriously, tho - when he challenged me it brought up the idea of what was "great". I was thinking Alabama, Ohio Stateish as great. There's only one "the best" and @puppylove_sugarsteel @RaceBannon and @PurpleJ can tell us who that is. So, during the pod I was thinking it might just be my Oregon bias because they come close but no cigar.
In terms of our conference. No question, as Sark would say.
@RoadDawg55 brings up a good poont. My point was not necessarily to quantify Oregon so much as it was to discuss how progress works on the sigma scale.
I guess "great" can be subjective depending on the angle. I bet my "great" for a blowjob would be better than say ---- @Fire_Marshall_Bill
I now Tequillaed myself.
TL,DR
you're braver than I thought.
disagree
Totally agree "great" can be somewhat subjective. IMO great equates to exceptional, which I believe fits well within the context of the Six Sigma example you were discussing. That last step to exceptional is incredibly difficult, few achieve it. In that context, programs like Alabama, Ohio State, Miami, USC, Oklahoma, Nebraska and a few others have produced multiple great teams over multiple decades. That's deserving of the "great" label. Regarding Oregon I think your intital thoughts, close but no cigar, are right, that's not a slight, just an objective point of view.
Blowjobs are a way better topic, @Fire_Marshall_Bill 's silence on the subject speaks volumes. Maybe the definition of great is different for givers than receivers. @Hondo true?
