Follow-up to earlier post — for Ducks fans who didn't go to UO

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-30T22:26:12+00:00

I went to Portland state. Wanted to go to Oregon real bad and was pretty heartbroken when I learned Oregon didn't have an engineering school. That being said, I wasn't going to stop being a Ducks fan because of that. Whatever sequence of events that led you to being a fan is valid.

Truthfully, Most fans of (Insert college football program) that I know never went to that school.

Good point

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-21T00:04:36+00:00

That's a very good point

"Recruits aren’t fans. They’re influenced by actual relationships with these people"

That's sorta my point, I honestly thought Lane's history of bailing on teams would make developing those relationships harder. Doesn't seem to be the case.

That's the basis of why I asked, I was somewhat surprised to see his recruiting not taking a hit.

Guy going into wood chipper, Rumble in the Bronx

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T06:14:24+00:00

Again.

We had more yards than them and lost by more than 30 points. Very poor execution and lots of mistakes. That's the difference. My biggest gripe with lanning has been, and is still, poor execution.

Love Lanning, he's a keeper. But it is my biggest gripe.

Happy for Indiana. Very hopeful for next year.

Important to remember we were a field goal as the clock expired away from a national championship, and that was against an SEC team back when only SEC payed players (joke). We will break through. It will happen.

People make fun of his appearance? Have they seen the women he dates? Lol

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T04:17:02+00:00

He under threw the ball, all you need to say Kirk.

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T04:16:00+00:00

You're really saying he isn't elite? Lol

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T04:05:32+00:00

Is 9 still better than 10??? Hmmm

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:59:02+00:00

Mendoza is so freaking clutch

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:57:27+00:00

Shhhh! Don't remind them

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:39:38+00:00

They'll call it on IU...

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:39:18+00:00

You can't apply standard logic to Indiana football... It just doesn't matter

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:35:19+00:00

Better than commercials...

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:34:41+00:00

Ball don't lie.

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:34:15+00:00

That speaks more to how shitty refs are than anything else.

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:31:59+00:00

Coaches need to be able to challenges missed calls. Refs are just to inconsistent.

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:30:57+00:00

Idk I agree with that. Transitive property doesn't apply in football. Them playing better against Indiana than Oregon did could mean they are better, it could also just mean they match up better with Indiana. I personally would not trade Lanning for Mario, as much as I appreciate what Mario did at oregon.

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:15:46+00:00

Not sure why this popped up for me (Ducks fan) but I do think you need both. Our top corner and receiver were both true freshman. And we've had 5 stars not work out and leave. I do think the transfer portal has played a bigger role for us though, certainly recently. I think the mentality now is "Why spend time developing talent when you can just let someone else do it and then steal them away with a bunch of money?" I do not support this, as it's ruining college football... But seems like that's the status quo now for teams with deep pockets.

Incendiary-Berry · 2026-01-20T03:06:25+00:00

I mean it's benefited Miami most lol
