The urban myth Kirk Herbstreet thing of saying Oregon is like Paris Hilton was wrong. Oregon is Kim Kardashian and for both everything just seems to work and something is clearly figured out. Every coach there the last 30 years has been a failure, and mostly dumpster fire once they're out of the Oregon halo and Bellotti was at least smart enough to know to not leave it. Almost all of their best college players have been major duds in the NFL.
Like Kim K I don't respect a fucking molecule of it and both have a ceiling but it works so whatever - ie Oregon succeeding in the cucked Pac-12 while they would suck in the SEC and Kim K social media bullshit and not trying to be like an actress or musician or anything that takes actual skill.

This is where I usually get roasted, but is it true that they've been a notable egg layer in the NFL? I would say that's not the case, at least not more so or significantly more so as compared to, say, UW outside of Washington's very recent spike of sending quality DBs, which is not something it was ever known for before. I mean, this would be a long and tedious discussion, but as an old guy I'll tell you that the Huskies were always proud of their NFL production and counted among the alumni playing upstairs a bunch of average to slightly above average players and guys just occupying roster spots.
As for how they'd fare in the SEC, of course they'd struggle with the top of the order like most non-SEC programs not named Ohio State, but outside of that I'm not as sure that the full SEC schedule is quite the murderers row everybody makes it out to be. They'd be no worse off playing Miss State and Arkansas than they are playing ASU or Stanford.
But it's the thesis I've always found interesting. That thesis is there is no rational reason why Oregon should be good without some fake or untoward explanation lurking in the dark just waiting to be discovered. There are a lot of historically good programs without much going for it (e.g., the usual iron laws like being located in a big TV market, academis prowess, etc.) other than they just got the right coach at some point and got good, and that begat something of a reputation and there you have it. Why is Oklahoma good? The state doesn't produce a lot of great players, Norman sucks, OU is not academis prowess, but at some point they got good. Proximity to Texas? Yes. Oregon proximity to California? Yes.
Kardashian is famous for being famous. It's a marketing trick. Oregon has done more on the field to probably deserve a better analog.

I'd say you're in the minority as compared to my Husky circles and this place and certainly doogman. There's no question that Chip's coaching tenure at Oregon is generally viewed around these parts in a much, much different light than it was then. And that always confused me because the one thing I never picked up on during Chip's run was a hard on for Washington. And of course we know he let off the gas in a very obvious way against Sark at least two times that I can remember. I always thought the Chip era was the one era during which the Ducks may have lost a little hate for Washington. It's back though, and speaking of unnecessary moves, I assume you agree that Petersen and Brownlee's finger pointing 70 against and utterly defenseless Oregon team also qualifies as "look at me" unnecessary.
Lastly, I may be wrong, but the current guy at Oregon doesn't seem as interested in looking cute as perhaps some of his predecessors might have been. I believe it was to give Washington more to think about because Washington marks the beginning of the toughest run on their schedule.
One doog says "Oregon scared of UW has to put new things on tape for the Dwags!". Other doog says "Oregon can't beat Colorado without gimmicks!".
STFU, you didn't even watch the game. The first two touchdowns were the "gimmick" plays. The other "gimmick" one was a fucking fullback dive, and was the 3rd score.

so, puddles has a sex tape out there?
(pls do not post gif of duck boner, recruits read this bored)
You're right. I think defending a passing play might be more of a trick play for him then a one-yard run against one of the worst teams in conference history.

Or we could act like a real program and financially play the game. Hype is stupid.
Kids getting cash is what it is. They are not amateurs any more even though our athletic dept likes to pretend they are.
