Johnny Manziel

This kid is blowing up. Looks like Chip's going to have to do some extra work to keep him away from the big boys if he keeps this up.

We are 2 touchdown favorites in the heart of SEC country (I know Tennessee is down but that is still a lot of points to be favored over an SEC team at their stadium) and in the LSU article they said Oregon was a Powerhouse and we jumped over Oklahoma and Florida in the polls and are ranked high early even with the perceived question at QB so Oregon is certainly on the radar of kids across the country.

Because I don't, yet they've won two or three BCS games in recent years.

I feel most of the nation feels that way about Oregon.
Except WVU lost their coach. They've really dropped off since Rich Rod left.

Do you feel Va Tech is? Because that's a much better comparison to UO than WV. WV have fallen apart since Rich fraud took off. Both VT and UO started to accend from nothing to bowl team to top 25 in the 80's and then by the end of the 90's both where playing solid football.

No, WVU isnt a big time program in my book...but that may just be me...Are we as well known as tOSU, Michigan, SC, Floridas, Texas? No, of course not....but, it still seems that we are viewed as a prominent program on the rise, from most that I have read....Its really nothing more than public perception combined with some success...
If you feel inferior.....Most likely you will be or become inferior..If you accept the positives and live the positives....Guess what is most likely to happen?

Glass half full///Glass half empty....The Ducks are more full than empty.....And that is my view on the matter....
