Holy Shit is Oregon inept.   They can’t catch or tackle and aren’t playing smart.

Oregon somehow has the #6 recruiting class this year, ahead of Oklahoma and Michigan. Coming off an 8-4 year and looking completely inept in this game.

They are not in the south, and do not have a fertile recruiting state.

I just don't understand really.

Just about any teenager alive will recall Oregon being a comparatively elite team for several years (as well as Oklahoma...not UM). The Oregon campus is very, very cool; and, the facilities at aoregon can’t be beat. Moreover, since Nike hosts several elite football camps in the Oregon area, recruits get exposed to the region that may not otherwise.

The fact you don’t understand intrigues me. Their recent recruiting success makes a lot of sense to me.

Their last 4 seasons: 9-4, 4-8, 7-6, 9-4. Nothing close to elite there. So you are saying 5+ years ago they were good, so that means they recruit well now? How does that work? So every team that's good now, and good over 4 years ago  and every team good in between that time ,they all should have recruiting success?

Is Redbox like chickenpox. Not sure. But stay away from both. This game is like watching paint dry. Oregon’s high powered offense no longer exists. How did they finish 8-4? Worst game of the bowl season from my POV.

Why in the world was Justin Herbert ever considered a #1 overall pick? Dude looks terrible and even a decent QB would've thrown that ball toward the middle when his WR got inside leverage.

Oregon should have thrown the ball on 3rd down. ..1 time out is not a big deal, when a first down could have won the game.  Not impressed with CrystalBall.

As we celebrate the death of Michigan State University, I think this is a good opportunity to look back at all of our favorite memories/statistics of the self-proclaimed Spartan Dawgs.

My personal favorite was the chest beating Spartans who bragged of the three year streak of holding Michigan without a touchdown. The kicker being of course that MICHIGAN WON ONE OF THOSE GAMES 12-10.

What are your favorite memories of the worst school in the world, MGoBlog?
