IN all seriousness, Mariota is super classy and I'm happy for him. Now, If he could just blow out his ACL two yards before the would be game winning touchdown against Bama i'd die smiling.

Marcus Mariota will look like our only good player ever.

Oh, and UW has no Heisman, so there is that.

National Championships >>> Heisman's

wtf'd for grammar. for all that is Holy people: apostrophes are used to signify singular or plural possession. just add the fucking "s" with NO apostrophe.

also wtf'd for sour grapes. any program would KILL to have a player like Mariota. he's fucking brilliant on the field and it's a extra benefit that he doesn't make you absolutely fucking cringe every time he opens his mouth. 1991 was a long fucking time ago.

much as love my bad boys from the old Miami days, from an adult perspective, Winston is just a first class piece of shit. were he a Hurricane, I'd probably find some bit of good in him. but he's not, so I'll just say he's a fucking moron and will wind up in jail at some point in his life.

this has certainly been Marcus' week. Oregon struck fucking gold when they found him. Awesome player.

You are confusing my comment with not respecting Mariota ... he's a helluva player and by all accounts is a really good person. If it wasn't for him being a Duck, he'd be really easy to root for.
 
no, i'm a lot of things, but confused is rarely one of them.

every program wants a Heisman winner. as much as people bitch about it, or like to argue that it's 'just a popularity contest', they want one for their program, and it's one of the things that the iconic programs point to in their 'trophy cases'. USC brags about theirs in Heritage Hall all the time.

there's no question that Mariota winning the Heisman, and by a landslide and with no controversy whatsoever, makes all the doogs a little green, which is ironic.

 
I love when people claim that they know what you are thinking ... particularly when that person doesn't even know you.

Good for Mariota. Could care less about Oregon in general.

I value wins more than I value stats.

Winning ugly >>> Losing pretty

Sure, I'd love to see a UW player win the Heisman one day. I'd trade the Heisman every single day for a National Title.
 
Mariota still has his shot at the ring, though.

Of course, he only has to beat the #3 and #1 (probable) teams in CFB to get it.

Just think, if this were 1991, we'd be playing Ohio State in the Rose and we would probably cruise to a split title with Bama after they beat whoever in the Sugar.

The title is harder to win now for sure, but whoever gets it will have earned it, and there is a lot of great football on NYE and NYD this year, so I'm kind of coming around on this playoff thing.

Hence your original post...
 
It's always been more about what we're doing (or for a long time what we weren't doing) than anything that Oregon does.

I hate those (i.e. Softy) that root harder for your rival to lose than for you to win. That's Coug behavior.

If beating the Ducks means that we're 8-4 and the Ducks are a 4-8 team ... that doesn't mean that much to me. I'm the same way with the Cougs.

I won't be happy until the Dawgs are back competing for conference titles. Then I might care as much about who is losing as the Dawgs winning ... but that will be in November when the games are special.

oh fuck you and the technicality. like you don't do it all the time. like we all don't make some giant fucking assumptions about what literally hundreds of thousands of people are thinking as we pontificate on the board. rinse out the sand Sally.

i'm sure you could NOT care less about Oregon (you're welcome), except that I know you could because you're all green about them getting a Heisman first. which, of course, is what we were talking about.

what the fuck are you talking about now? winning ugly? you have apparently veered off subject.

assuming that you meant to say you value wins more than you value individual awards, well, duh. i'm sure most normal fans do.

but it's not a ZERO/SUM game. that's the fucking point. having a player like that bring home some quality hardware is additive to the program. period.

that's why walking through, say, Heritage Hall, is a more impressive experience than walking through the Husky Hall of Fame.

If you keep trying to tell me what I'm thinking, maybe you'll finally say something that I actually am thinking.

I didn't start a thread about Mariota winning the Heisman. Him winning a Heisman is a national story.

Nowhere have I said anything about him not being deserving, etc. All I said was that I'd trade a Heisman for a National Championship to a Quook trying to beat his chest about how superior they are to the UW.

Veering off course? Pretty sure that my original comment was about winning being greater than stats. So even though you claim that you don't get confused easily ... it's looking like you've gotten confused here.

Instead of trying to interpret what I am or am not saying when I haven't said something, why don't you ask somebody instead? People trying to read shit into things that aren't there is one of the most fucktarded things that we do in society.
