30Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted Wednesday at 04:35 PM Oregon Ducks Snubbed By AP All-American Team? Dillon Gabriel, Derrick Harmon WWW.SI.COM With the regular college football season over, the No. 1 Oregon Ducks are the last undefeated team standing with a 13-0 record...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 2 Share Posted Wednesday at 04:48 PM Win the Rose Bowl, Orange, or Cotton Bowl and the Championship Game in Atlanta and R-E-S-P-E-C-T will (grudgingly) follow. Then, once OBD climbs The Mountain, there will be plenty of folks around ready to pull Oregon down. Don't Worry! Be Happy! Oregon is the B1G Conference Champion and in the Playoff Hunt. And playing in THE ROSE BOWL. Put the Hurt On Heupel! Relish Reaming Ryan! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CjAllen180 No. 4 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:33 PM Should we win it all, it'll quickly go from, "You've won 0 championships" to "Well, you've only won one! Come talk to me when you've won 7 or 8!" I live in the south, deep in the heart of SEC country, and one thing I can tell you with an absolute certainty is no matter how good you are, you will NEVER be good enough in their eyes. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not kidding. UGA still can't get any respect from Bama fans. I would just tell them that they will never experience the joy of watching their team break through and win their first championship. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Author Moderator No. 6 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:19 PM It's good that Oregon doesn't NEED the respect from other fanbases, the media, or the teams, though it will be present there before any of the others. "Oregon hasn't paid its dues" is one retort, accompanied by the even more laughable, "Oregon just bought their championship!? which has been solidly rebuked. If they don't comprehend the multi-layered strategies Oregon has used to build their program, then they're being completely hypocritical because none of the players Oregon bought are 1st Team All- Americans. Oregon crashed the B1G, and is playing their music loud, they'll never be welcomed, but their grass will always be GREEN! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utki No. 7 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:23 PM Chasing the respect of others that will never fully respect you no matter what is kind of pointless. Oregon would have to win 5 out of the next 10 titles to be accepted and even then there would be the Feinbaums of the world explaining why it wasn't done the correct way. There is no way to earn the respect of the inbred navel gazers of the SEC. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kamikaze Kid Moderator No. 8 Share Posted Wednesday at 11:20 PM I was going to say that the Ducks are the elephant in the room that everybody is trying to ignore. After thinking about it a bit, I think they're more like the werewolf in the room that everyone's just closing their eyes to and hoping that it just goes away. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAREFUL, the elephant in the room is Bama! More mascots than titles? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 10 Share Posted Thursday at 02:02 AM Another way to handle the naysayers is to troll them every chance you get. Go get a novelty Oregon license plate and have this message printed on it. Then post it on all other team’s message boards. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
