Anyone got some clever sign ideas for this game? Hopefully the Ducks play well enough that the TV cameras can cut back and forth between the clever signs and Prime dejected on the sidelines.

I’ve been thinking the same. If we win, CU was a fraud all along. If we lose we are toast.

The best that can come from this game is elevating Nix as a true candidate IF he plays very well. There will be a ton of eyeballs on us this week.

Deion is jealous of Dan's Tattoo's.

I disagree with the framing, the Ducks have been a little bit in the national background so far this season. We get a chance to use the insane buzz around Colorado to get a lot of eyeballs on us, and if we dominate em there'll be a lot more interest in us from casual fans (inevitably along with lots of talk about the Buffs being overrated). I get what you guys are driving at but that's not a lose-lose to me.

Agreed, Tray. Deion is drawing a massive audience, many of them new to the sport, and Oregon has a chance to show what they have on a huge stage and possible gain a lot of new fans.

It’s too bad the Pac-12 is dead because I think Deion is ultimately good for the sport, and would’ve kept the pac-12 in the limelight as long as he was at CU.

Deion will only be at CU long enough for an SEC team to snag him away. Which I’d bet one doubles his income this offseason, unless his kid can’t transfer and play immediately.

This is a HUGE opportunity for Oregon, there are so many analysts overrating and overhyping Colorado that the casual fan thinks Colorado is a potential playoff team, if the ducks beat them soundly it’ll make Oregon a lot more interesting. This is like the UCLA game last year times ten! Last year everyone was obsessed with DTR and was overrating him a lot, when Oregon beat UCLA soundly people started talking about Oregon a lot more. Plus unlike last year Oregon doesn’t have a humiliating defeat to start the season that a lot of people remember.

I’m not referencing exposure. I’m referring to respect. We will no doubt have a big audience, but EVERY broadcaster I’ve watched has picked Oregon to easily handle CO. That is the epitome of a no win situation. Very little to gain and a ton to lose. Unless we demolish them, we gain next to nothing.

No worries, guys. I'll be at the game tomorrow and I'm undefeated at Autzen as a fan. We've got this.
