Just a few final thoughts. 

 

 

I also never said I was noble. 😆🦆

I want ewwdub to lose. I will never root for them. Ever.

 

But I understand the opinion that it's better if they win. 

 

How many mutts were pulling for OBD in our 2 title game appearances, I wonder? 

Washington is good this year. Got it. 

 

Anyone else sick of talking about Washington? 

 

(Sorry, I'm a wounded Duck).

I'm a huge fan of Bo Nix. But, I am not a huge fan of these types of articles. It was well written and stirs conversation so for that I'm grateful.

 

As a longtime Oregon fan. I can NOT choose one player as the GOAT. I can choose my favorite. But, I would feel it is impossible to assign the title of GOAT to one player in the schools history. Every year we have a completely different TEAM. Sure, some of the players are the same. But, the skillset and personalities each year brings out a new TEAM.

 

I will say Bo was this years offensive MVP and for that I am very grateful.

 

 

No player at Oregon has achieved what Mariota has, before, or since.  That should speak volumes. 

 

I agree that teams are different each year, but records and achievements stand alone throughout the years. Nobody has achieved as much as Marcus Mariota in Oregon football history, and that alone makes him the greatest player to ever don an Oregon uniform. Period. 

Kind of sounds like he's trying to claim credit for the success on the field this season. 🤔

 

'We were focused on rebuilding football. Took two-and-a-half years. I wish it would have happened quicker.'

That's a pretty low blow, comparing KD to MC. I mean, yeah, it was a bad decision, possibly costly, but give KD the benefit of the doubt. MC has made these kind of mistakes throughout his HC career. 

 

Has KD?

 

Although, it was a pretty terrible call from such an experienced coach, and coach of the year, no less. 

 

Let's hope Johnson has a chance to see the field on Monday. He's part of the reason why they're heading there. I'd hate to see that kid miss the game he's worked so hard towards. 

 

Also, I hate the Huskies. ... Just sayin'. 

Had Mariota stayed in school as long as Nix, we'd be having a different conversation. 

 

Mariota is the GOAT. There's no denying what Nix has done, but I'll not discount someone who won every major award possible. 

 

Would I place Nix at #2? Most likely. 

 

Also, I was saddened to not see LMJ on your list. He was better than DAT.  (Pun intended)

 

I hate Ewwdub... but you can't deny the talent of Penix and Odunz.

PAC12 refs? ..... Clearly a penalty for running into the kicker should have been thrown. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Go Texas??

Classy move to end the game. 

Bo Nix gave everything he had to Oregon. He deserves to stand tall among the program greats. 

 

Best of luck at the next level, Bo. Once a Duck, always a Duck!

Wow... something must be wrong with the HEPA filter in my house... something is making my eyes water watching Bo's exit from the field.

I must have the exact same brand...

I would imagine the bench will see the field now.

Today, Bo comes out when Bo decides. 

For sure. I was saying that tongue in cheek. Like 'he's terrible, pull him!'

Tez - 165 yards so far!

Pull nix now!

Lol. I mean do we really need the trick plays? I get there having fun out there but...

DJU to FSU.... 🤔

I believe he lets Bo make the call and finish his college career the way Bo wants.

This ☝🏻

Well I'm glad the team has shaken off the cobwebs. 

RG3 said 'firequacker'....  😆

*well, great effort either way.

Bassa needs to chill after the whistle.
