    yep, UofO stays healthy on out of state tuition, many students from cali, so many that one of our nicknames is, University of California at Eugene

    https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2020-01-01/oregon-wins-rose-bowl-with-players-who-should-be-on-usc-or-ucla
    Column: Oregon wins Rose Bowl with players who should be on USC or UCLA

    "Oregon football owns Southern California.'

    The truth was as startling as the screaming Ducks who danced around a green-confetti-strewn Pasadena field early Wednesday night as if it was their backyard.

    For many, it was,.. Oregon just won the Rose Bowl with a roster including more than 30 players who grew up within 70 miles of that Rose Bowl."

    .... “We run L.A.,” receiver Mycah Pittman said
    “We’ve got all these SoCal recruits because, if you want to win, you come to Oregon, that’s all there is to it,”

    ... “We’re taking over,” he said. “Get away from home, get out of trouble, get away from all the distractions, grow as a player and a man, become a Duck, and I promise you won’t regret your decision.”

    The final message of the night came from Troy Dye, delivered to his Southern California neighbors as he sat in a smoky, dizzying Ducks locker room

    “I know you grew up watching the Rose Bowl, I know you want to shoot for playing in the Rose Bowl, I know you want to win the Rose Bowl,” Dye said. “If you want to do that, you come to Oregon.”

    :cool: after the game the Oregon players smoked victory cigars in the locker room

    that's how I feel

    Ohio St at Oregon,.. cancelled


    The Oregon Ducks marquee non conference football matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes slated for Sept. 12 at Autzen Stadium will not be played because the Big Ten Conference is moving to a conference-only model for all sports for this fall.

    Even if there is football players are going to be sitting out the season. It's already happening with baseball and basketball

    The ACC and Big Ten have cancelled all out of conference games. App State is out at least two games, Weak Forrest and Wisconsin. It SUCKS.Expecting other conferences to follow.
