Oregon about to suffer a major collapse

 

[vol2002]

We are going to lose Wanya aren't we?

Don’t get worked up over recruiting. Just let it all play out. I’m expecting a solid top 20 class. It’s going to be that kind of rebuild. Just get used to it.

 

[reVOLution33]

Whos the first decomitt?

Beasley

Oregon about to suffer a major collapse

Should have downed the damn ball. They didn't need to keep running it with 40 sec left. Stanford only had 1 to left

 

[Catbone]

I would add Bituli and Alexis Johnson to that list

Agree. Tuttle isnt bad either.

Yep. Game was over

Here to take my medicine. Won’t even try to countenance the beatdown by claiming the inane turnovers would have changed the outcome. Hope for development in the young players and that JG’s knee is fine. Apologize to all those that KNEW we were going to lose to Florida. Still not conceding that Santa Clause and the psychotic doppelgänger of the Easter Bunny have conspired to doom us forevermore against this team...we just have to improve the talent and hope we’ve hired the coaches that can utilize it.

 

[vol2002]

In some devious way I like seeing Oregon falter. I recall an article for around 2012 on ESPN where they compared Oregon to Tennessee and Nebraska and concluded Oregon has transcended into football elite and wasn’t capable of falling off like we have...

He probably didn't want to be here anyways. We need people who are dedicated to losing 8-9 games a year. Nothing else will do. If you don't want to go out and get beat by 30 every Saturday then you don't belong here anyways.

 

[reVOLution33]

Seriously, run-run-pass (on 3rd and long) almost every series?
This just isn't what I expected at all

We ran the ball 26 times on 1st down compared to i think 4 passes on 1st down the play calling is worse than the butch era. I have to voice left after yelling about the play calling the entire game.

 

[LargePairOfVols]

I don’t think we could attract someone here that would be worth that much. We need to give the guy we have 5 years guaranteed. Follow the Kentucky model. ...That’s who we are after all, and who we have been for a long time now...

I agree. Coaching turnover is the problem. Give Pruitt 5 yrs. If he can’t get it done then get the Brinks truck.

 

[The Dog]

3-9..Worst team in UT history. I have never felt so completely hopeless about a team...I know people don't wanna hear it, so I'm out for awhile..I hope it gets better someday.

I've been giving u hell, McGill. Looks like u were right and I was wrong. Sorry, u nailed it and I was living in fantasy land

 

[BruinVol]

Much easier to sacrifice a basketball game to prove a point than a football game, but at this point who gives a chief?

This is why I was upset Flowers didn't play the last two weeks. I don't think Thompson played tonight in the secondary or at least didn't play very much at all. Good coaches get players motivated in practice and don't use PT expect in rare circumstances. Pruitt seems to do it all the time

We just went through this!!! The opportunity for the brinks truck is gone. Don't wait 5 to make the next opp.

There was a sequence of events in this game where I began to seriously question if magic is real. I think it was somewhere around the Austin Pope debacle.

Sometimes it’s just so surreal.

That was a punch in the gut and i was already down on the floor.

 

[HankHill]

JG about got himself killed. Honestly think that young man could be great with a decent o-line.

He brings some of it on himself tho by holding the ball and trying to force the ball down field.

I had to walk away for a while after that play. That doesn't happen to any team in the country besides us.

 

[UTProf]

How much you wanna bet nothing will happen?

Oh I'm sure but the conference should enforce a strict suspension for any play like that. That was the most intentional hit to injure I've seen in a long time. It wasn't even an emotional - in the heat of the moment hit. It was straight up premeditated intent to injure (and possibly ruin the career) another player. The conference needs to address that and harshly.

If Pruitt doesn’t get it done we will be in the same place. I don’t think there is a Brinks truck that can magically save us. The 2017 coaching search taught me that hard lesson.

We’ve just got to buckle up as a fanbase and get used to the long slow bumpy ride ahead. It ain’t gonna be pretty and there are no guarantees.

For my money the quickest fix would be to end the Bama rivalry, let Auburn switch with Mizzou and come to the east and pick up Arkansas as our cross divisional rival... but that’s still an unpopular perspective in these parts...

Yeah I apologized earlier too.

I won't be making the same mistake twice.

Awful game.

Sorry but I saw very little holding on the ball tonight. There simply wasn't time to do anything different than he did

I was maniacally laughing. It was laugh or cry.

That's another big problem, UT has been trying to hit the lottery cheap. I think Pruitt will be a good coach, but sometimes u have to pay the big bucks to get a proven winner and UT never seems to want to do that
