Lol good response.

Sports media is on the take.

And apparently there is a column behind a pay wall in the Denver Post with an article berating Dan for saying CU is all about clicks. The writers beef is that is pretty rich coming from the school with 250 different uniforms.

Apparently the writer has some selective memory and forgot about Deion saying he was coming with his Louis (Vuitton's) Nothing at all flashy about a whole set of Louis' or Deion parading down the sideline at Autzen staduium with a posse of security and cameras.

Here's an excerpt:

“Talk about the pot calling the kettle green. Or yellow. Or chartreuse. Or whatever shade Oregon happens to be wearing in a given week. The Ducks on Saturday sported cleats that change color, we kid thee nay, according to your body temperature. For more than two decades, Oregon’s performed in more wardrobe combinations than Elton John. So, yeah, the idea of Ducks football coach Dan Lanning pointing fingers at Deion Sanders and CU for choosing sizzle over steak is pretty rich. But you do you, you[/i]

Sounds to me like someone is a CU grad and not happy his team got taken to the woodshed.

Yeah, except I agree with him. Oregon is about flash, swag and marketing. We embrace it and use to recruit. If the "for clicks" fired up the team that's great but it is kind of funny from an Oregon coach. This was a battle for cool factor supremecy and Oregon won.

The jokes about Oregon being hypocritical are lame and small-minded. They come from people who don't watch Oregon football (and certainly didn't watch 25 years ago) and probably need cue cards to remember Oregon isn't in the Big 10 yet.

Yes, Oregon has cool uniforms. Yes, we have a rich and generous donor. Yes, we have amazing facilities. Yes, we put Bo on two billoards.

We also win big game after big game after big game have been doing that for decades now. Yes, there is flash, but we've been winning long enough that we're rooted in substance. Without the winning, all of that marketing & all of those upgrades would be making us look foolish. But our coaches and players always back it up on the field.

"BUT TEH DUCKZ HAS ALL TEH UNIS AND ZER0 TITLEZ LOL!!1!!11!1!"

That's the other slapdick line I keep hearing. Compare the Ducks against pretty much every other program in the country since like 1995 and then try again.

I understand why so many folks got excited about Deion/Colorado, but dear lord I had no idea that people were so emotionally compromised by this paper-thin Cinderella narrative.

I feel like the context for Lanning's speech was this:

Troy Franklin post game:

Reporter: " You were pretty pumped up, just what excited you the most or gave you motivation this week?"

Franklin: "I think kinda..um..just pre-game. I didn't really...like...understand why they were on our half of the field, things like that.
But um, they just weren't..kinda...respectful, so that's kinda why I was so turned up."

well said Pez.

The uniform schtick is old and tired.

I guess Shadeur driving a Maybach and Deion driving a Lamborghini and Shadeur sporting a diamond encrusted watch are not flashy at all. The writers jealousy came shining through brighter than Shadeur's gold necklace.

I missed all the pregame stuff, but there were rumors of Colorado players going into Oregon's side of the field and trying to antagonize them. There were also players the say before scratching their feet into the O. The media is so far up Colorado's ass that they won't point out those things

The scratching of the O happened when they did their walk thru on Friday. They (Colorado) were also as Troy Franklin said on Oregon's side of the field. They also came out of their dressing room at the exact same time as the Harley rev'd up and Oregon came out.

Even I felt it was weird that Colorado players were all over the field warming up, and then they came running out as the Ducks were entering the field and that seemed really awkward. Was it intentional, or the result of sloppy handling by the Colorado coaches/staff? All those things matter in Big Boy football just like they matter with anything else. You can't command respect if you're popping off and looking sloppy.

Wish I would of screen shot it but there was a Colorado fan who posted on an Oregon FB page (I’m paraphrasing here) saying how Dan Lanning, Oregon and there fans are racist because they didn’t want to see a successful black football coach.

All the media generated hype for Colorado was only going to end up going one way for the team that handed to them there ass.

Colorado used the entire field to warm up which is one of the most disrespectful things a team can do, especially when they’re the visiting team. Teams always use half and let the other team have the other half, but that’s now how Deion and Colorado roll. Before this game I liked Deion, but I’ve lost a lot of respect for Deion and how he’s played the victim card. He ain’t a victim and he knows out.

Also when the players ran out behind the motorcycle through that tunnel the band makes, some Colorado players ran through that same tunnel into duck players. And I was right behind the West endzone and Colorado players were talking a lot of trash to fans on that side.

I won’t say Deion is responsible for all of the media craziness going on but his victim act is probably already getting old, and Colorado and Colorado fans better be ready to take a beating for years to come from quality teams.

I totally agree about the victim
thing. I get coaches using 'us against the world' as a motivator but the Colorado victim thing is pathetic.

I brought it up because most of the commentary regarding that pre-game pep talk is that Coach Lanning is jealous of the attention Deion is getting, blah blah blah. 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.

Show me a coach that wants to see another rival coach be successful? It doesn't have anything to do with anything other than that. I bet Lanning doesn’t want DeBore to have success, does that mean he hates guys who look pregnant?
