Did We Just Murder Oregon Football?

Oregon is the one team i want to TOTALLY COLLAPSE in the Pac-12. Forever and ever.
If daddy warbucks passes away, do the Ducks get a multi-billion $$ endowment from it? That guy is worth $25+B...
Yup. Pac-12 needs teams like Oregon, Washington, USC, ASU, Utah and Colorado to be good to make the conference what it should be. Especially Utah and Oregon considering they are in non-NFL markets where the interest is high.
His name isn't on the giving pledge. Maybe the money will go to cokehead descendants.
It's certainly looking like the wheels are coming off. Glad we had a lot to do with it. I don't think they lay an egg in Pullman if we hadn't pulled that game out. Their confidence in themselves and their coaching staff is shot. I think the swagger is gone as long as Helfrich is there. Hopefully they never get it back. 
I find that pleasing.

They are a very young team with freshman starting or contributing. The defense they had last year was near the bottom of FBS. But it was their offense that kept them in or let them win games. I suspect that in a year or two this rebuilding year will be behind them.

God, we if got the W to get to 3-0 and drop USC to 1-3. Not to mention holding the tiebreaker
All I really care about is two more wins. I don't care who they come against. If we get them with some games left to play, then I'll work up excitement for a south championship or higher level bowl.

Of course. A bowl was the primary objective and this season wouldn't be a failure no matter how we made one. However, depending on the circumstances, 6-6 would be a bit a of a disappointment given the way we've started the season. This team would likely be selling itself short if it went 2-5 the rest of the way.

I agree. Expectations have changed. 2-5 the rest of the way would be a disappointment.

Honestly, other than Arizona the South looks upside down from what I had expected.
Buffs sort of got lucky there. The past two years I don't think the Buffs were as bad as their record indicated (especially 2014) we just got very unlucky that the Pac-12 was so deep and there were a bunch of average teams with no one dropping to the cellar. This year the Pac-12 dropped off significantly right when we have our most veteran teams since 2001.
Yep. My expectation is .500 in Pac-12 games. That puts the over/under at 7.5 right now imho.
I'm gonna be really annoyed if we swoon a bit during October and everyone gets doom and gloom. This is a hard schedule!
Exactly. We all hope that the momentum builds, things snowball, and we end up winning 9+. But like you I'm worried that a lot of fans are starting to cross that hype/ excitement line to the point where an 8-4 final record would be upsetting to them.
The schedule has some challenges, but not significantly different than any other year in the Pac (and better than many years). Plus, getting a week-and-a-half to prep for UCLA, followed by another week-and-a-half to prep for Arizona is a nifty little gift.
We're looking at you Sacky!
I don't know if CU murdered the ducks, but it looks like WSU did.
Don't even want to use their own colors/mascot any more.

I guess they looked around the country and said, "Toledo's having a pretty good season. Let's dress up like them for this week's costume."

But "doom and gloom" is the default SOP on AllBuffs! (See post Spring Game comments on Montez for Exhibit A)
oh my. I think Oregon just wants to sneak up on someone this season.
Look at us we aren't Oregon. We don't even know who this Oregon is. Don't mind us.
Points for referring to oregon's weekly sartorial choices as what they are: costumes, rather than uniforms.
