It might be nice if they would cover the fact that the part of the Deion circus week after week is disrespecting their opponents, and the resulting resentment is a great motivator. It made Colorado State punch way higher than their weight, and Nebraska also looked like world-beaters on defense for the whole first half before remembering that they are Nebraska. The myopic media narrative that ignores all of this is getting really tiresome.
It's funny, I read a lot of USC stuff. They normally hate on Oregon, but this week the Ducks were their heroes. Even that tweet that Damian Lillard and all the other usual suspects are taking offense at was really just a USC fan showing solidarity about beating down a team full of punks.
With the recent game recap video and Lanning's Monday press conference, social media is an absolute feeding frenzy as journalists and fans are absolutely roasting Colorado for the antics and words and siding with Oregon.
Love that everyone is getting to see the full picture now, and how Lanning and Oregon actually handled things quite well.
CU looks like a bunch of entitled chumps who think they own CFB because their coach is a celebrity. I’ve been saying the same thing Bud Elliot said in that tweet; CU is going to take a beating this year because they’re going to get everyone’s max effort.

100%. If I were Deion I'd have extra drills dialed up for my players, including Shiloh and his fat mouth. I think Prime and his swagger are rubbing off on some players the wrong way. It's not necessarily his fault but it is his responsibility to correct. Lanning is still praising Deion so I think it wasn't personal with anyone, L wanted to teach the CU players a lesson in humility...and that he did.
But it’s not just the players, their strength coach came down to our end of the field and mocked Bo’s game prep workout. It’s a cultural thing and that starts with Prime.
Honestly I thought Deion tried to downplay this game leading up to it as he very likely knew what was about to happen to his squad. That said, the things Deion says and how the national media run with are also 2 separate things and once you go that "supreme belief" route in your players, you can't take it back.
I thought it was telling that one of the more "football-ogres" in Booger MacFarland saw Dan's pre-game speech for exactly what it was, a pre-game speech. Meanwhile the talking heads like Nick Wright/Shannon Sharpe are looking for any way to attack Oregon rather than acknowledge the actual football game. Keyshawn's smile during that dumb rant reminds me of when my young nephew tries to argue with me about something like "I get all of your chicken nuggets and you get this crayon" and he knows it isn't going to work but he does it anyways because he likes to joke.
I don't mind the casuals coming into football but I've been so done with these 'rant/rave' type shows for so long but it is nice to be reminded of why I don't listen/watch them.
I saw a mini-documentary of 35 minutes of prime before the game. I thought he was a religious man. But after hearing the “music” in the locker room and language by his players, mixed with all the bling and it’s all the more satisfying that Oregon rubbed their noses in it. They found out that all that hype and trash talking doesn’t make you a top football team. Their coach, attitudes , disrespect and hangers on finally being exposed was very satisfying. As I said before they will now sink to their level, a 6-6 team. Look at their remaining schedule and tell me where you see more than 3 teams left they will beat? Everybody got the blueprint on how to whip their asses. I love the Danimal!

That was their strength coach???? Damn. I thought only a player would do something that dumb. Hopefully he took some notes, because clearly Baby Sanders needs to do something different with his game prep.
I was dead tired and about to go to bed last night when I saw the new Oregon postgame cinematic around 11:45 p.m. Put it up on the TV & watched it and went to bed quite happy.
When the Ducks began their climb from obscurity to the present, the bling caught all the national attention, but the work ethis was there in the midst of the action.
Without both, the Ducks might never have waddled out of the marsh...
Autzen Stadium... Where great teams go to die...Hard!
