Posted 14 hours ago14 hr Administrator No. Which is worse...how pathetic this is of Beavis fans, or how Washington State fans feel at this moment? Mr. FishDuck
12 hours ago12 hr Moderator No. Field rushing when beating a team that was at .500. I guess they are trying hard for a resume to attract a good JC coach.
11 hours ago11 hr No. Hey... they could get lower... they could hire Mario when he's eventually canned from Miami. 😂 Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by WaterPoloDuck Typo correction
11 hours ago11 hr No. I remember when Bill Musgrave led us to six wins and we went to the Weedeater Bowl in Shreveport. We hadn’t been to a bowl game in decades. It felt like a big deal to us. There may have been some field-storming on our part. I hope we never get so used to being good that we forget what being bottom tier felt like.

We have an excellent perspective and appreciation for where we are at, as my first year of Oregon season tickets had Chris Miller as quarterback of the Ducks.And again...we are all entitled to our different opinions here without throwing ancillary shade on anyone else...

9 hours ago9 hr No. One of the meanings of "pathetic" according to the Oxford Dictionary is, "Of very low standard". No matter how you slice it, storming the field after subduing a .500 team is a very low standard, and is, by definition, pathetic IMHO.
9 hours ago9 hr No. I remember as a kid how pathetic Oregon was for so many years. In 1962, with Cas as coach, and Bob Berry as QB for 3 years, we were on a 3 year winning streak, a trip and win at the Sun Bowl over SMU in 1963. Then another very long dry spell before the Indepenent bowl decades later. We were pathetic, and I think any unexpected win brought a lot of over the top excitement to fans. That was a different Oregon than the one from 25 years ago to now. I'll always remember those old days, and appreciate greatly what we have now. An 8-4 season then would have been glorious, now it's a disaster. Though i'm not fond of the Beavers, I'll give their fans a break for celebrating a win, even a minor one.
8 hours ago8 hr No. If you are a current freshman at OSU, this might be only time in the upcoming 4 years that you get to storm the field. Might as well have fun when you can.
8 hours ago8 hr No. I remember the goal posts at Autzen coming down, being carried across the bridge and back to campus, a long, L O N G, time ago...Dang, I'm old.

Third string TE Vince Ferry caught the winner. 35K watching max. Goalposts did not have a chance to remain upright.

6 hours ago6 hr No. OSU has sunk very low indeed. Students there today will have to stretch to find things to celebrate, and I appreciate the post and the humor Charles. I'm also with you TexasDuck about not forgetting how things were. I'm one of the greybeards who remembers when we were fortunate to finish over .500 (Chris Miller was the QB my freshmen year in 86/87) and I remember the excitement around that Independence Bowl in '89. We've come a long way and I'm glad it's the Beavs living that reality now and not us. 😁
