Vegas Bowl: Boise St vs Oregon (Dec. 16th, Sat 12:30 PM ABC)
With UW sneaking into the top 12, Oregon's likely landing spot is now the Las Vegas Bowl against Boise State. While it's a step up in opponents, Oregon's big recruiting weekend is now in jeopardy since the Vegas Bowl is set for Dec. 16th. They'll have to find a way to reschedule it, especially with Hufanga and Cota among those uncommitted recruits who were expected to attend.

I won't be able to enjoy any of this until I know if we keep Willie or start searching

I kinda like it, BSU is pretty good this year and we've got a rivalry with them. Should be a good test for us.lukeyrid13 wrote:Blah. That was my least favorite scenario

UW screwing up the big recruiting weekend is just another in a long line of reasons to hate them.

There may even be talks of stealing their coach by the time this thing kicks off.Tray Dub wrote:I kinda like it, BSU is pretty good this year and we've got a rivalry with them. Should be a good test for us.lukeyrid13 wrote:Blah. That was my least favorite scenario

This sums up my feelings about it:
Although it sucks because that was supposed to be a huge recruiting weekend for us.

Maybe they should have Blount vs Hout 2 at halftime. That would sell some tickets. Lol

This was the best outcome we could hope for in terms of a meaningful bowl game. The ducks are playing a ranked team, have an opportunity to get one back from Boise State, and recover what at one point seemed to be a lost season. The ducks are getting a higher-ranked opponent than either of the Arizona schools that finished higher in the standings. Yeah, bummer about the recruiting day, but this is WHY they recruit, to get in better bowl games. People who would rather have a worse bowl game to accommodate recruiting are putting the cart before the horse.
I was not looking forward to the Cactus Bowl, but this bowl will definitely be marked with a red circle on my calendar.

Have to wonder if the impact here on preparation and recruiting might force Taggart to make a quicker decision. There isn't time to wait.
Willie Taggart is a dick.

Another bad thing about getting Las Vegas Bowl is that they likely won't get the full 15 allowed bowl practices in, especially with this week being finals week at Oregon. They won't resume practices until next Saturday so they'll likely only get in a total of 7-9 extra practices (counting this weekend's practices) before the bowl game. That amount really isn't giving the young guys the amount of practices they would normally have if they'd gotten any other bowl game.
