I really hope USC loses the Pac-12 South now so we don't have to face Dye. I think Oregon would beat him I just don't want to see Dye play against us. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie No. 7 Share Posted January 21 Isn't he from that area? Maybe that has something to do with it. I wish him luck, unless/except if the Ducks plays usc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 8 Share Posted January 21 Seeing Tyner play against us as a beaver was like watching a cousin playing against us. Watching Dye as a trojan play against us will be like watching a son. I accept it, but don't like it, and I still love the guy! 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin No. 9 Share Posted January 21 As I said, all about the Benjamin's. Loyalty is gone. I will root for Oregon players and school. Dye choose his path and I wish him well. It won't matter to me if it goes well for him or not at the end of the day. Dye is a Trojan. Go Ducks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 10 Share Posted January 21 I hope this gives fuel the fire inside the current players. This is more than a gut-punch... No more pictures of him in the background of this forum! 7 1 Quote Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckhart No. 11 Share Posted January 21 College players can be free agents now and if coaches can get up and leave players should also be able too. Plus he's from SoCal and is probably sick of the cruddy weather we have up here. When your young, you look for opportunities, cant blame the guy, how many coordinators and coaches did he play for? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants No. 12 Share Posted January 21 I treat it like a guy going to the NFL. If he doesn’t play for my favorite team he’s non-existent. I cheer for my team, but not really against any individual player on the other team. I appreciate what Herbert did for Oregon, but when he lines up against the Cowboys I hope his team loses. I’ll look at Dye the same way. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph No. 13 Share Posted January 21 This will move USC now ranked No. 3 by 247 Sports in its 2022 CFB Transfer Rankings, up the ladder. USC had 10 transfer commits before Dye decided to go to LA. (Other Pac-12 programs in the top 50 of this ranking + no. of commits: 10. AZ - 7; 13. UCLA - 5; 23. ASU - 8; 29. WA ST - 4; 40. Oregon - 3; 43. CAL - 3; 50 Utah - 3. Dye goes home and likely gets a big NIL check? And likely may be recruiting other Ducks to portal south and get paid?

willville No. 16 Share Posted January 21 As I said he is not a difference maker. Good player, yes! A stud, no! Take the emotion out of it. If we play him I hope we pound the hell out of him and his SoCal pals. Enough with being nice! He left, see ya! Go Ducks 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartm25 Author Moderator No. 17 Share Posted January 21 I've said it before and I'll say it again: Seems like Verdell and Dye have been at UO for 100 years. I want to see what talent has been hidden away in the cupboard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck 1972 No. 21 Share Posted January 21 I did think of a couple more things. I seem to like it when we got Nix, the DL from UW and Gonzalez from COL this year so far and numerous in other years so to be consistent I can't fault them when they leave. Also this shows what it would have looked like, if the portal was here before. If head coaches left, the kids couldn't do anything about it and had to stay with a head coach who they never had a relationship with, which I posit is just as important as the school. He's a graduate senior so if he wants to go home or make more money who am I to fault him. In fact I believe that that's the way it was for numerous years and didn't have a problem with that. Until they changed it to everyone. It hurts but will be ok. He was a great player for the Ducks for 4yrs. It's just like if he'd turned pro. In fact he did. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck1984 No. 22 Share Posted January 21 Will always consider Dye a Duck. He played hard for four years and got his degree. As I don’t see an NFL career in his future, I respect his decision to play his final year of football in front of family and friends. I don’t expect he’ll play his former team as Utah will likely win the South. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
