One (non-score) Prediction for Saturday's Game v Oregon
- Thread starter Darth Snow
- Start date
I'd say the odds of that happening are about 30%
I've been pondering this myself, is MM that devious?
This...
The Ducks get bent over.
The Ducks get bent over.
Oh, also, Lindsay gives us a Vickers-like moment when he trucks an Oregon CB on his way into the end zone.
This one, I like. I LIKE.

Better if that team was announced prior to kick off

We will get a fumble or pick at the end to seal the game up by a TD, Loguda will get another targeting penalty and leave the game in the 4th quarter.
Screw it. Let him get it in the 1st. Let the ducks know we came to play fast and physical. Really want CU to come out with a junkyard dog mentality.

I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing it early in the game....maybe even the hit on Royce Freeman. Obviously I don't want anyone to get hurt, it'll be a questionable call with a graze to the facemask....but he'll remember the hit and think twice after...even a second of hesitation helps.

We will beat Oregon and people will still complain, claim Mac is not the guy, and call for Montez to start against ASU.
Exactly. Obviously do not want any of our players actually targeting the Ducks. But if we happen to blow up a player and graze the facemask then so be it.
The pessimism is real, but I think a win against Oregon would certainly halt the MM bashing

Really? I think people have already made up their minds on Mac and no win is going to change that. They'll just make up some other reason to bash him.
The main complaint against HCMM is lack of wins. If he beats Oregon, then that starts to change.

And recruiting up until this year.
While that is improving, wins will also accelerate that process.

If we beat Oregon, I'm not sure this fanbase will know how to react.
If we beat Oregon I will be too drunk to remember it anyways. Thanks RG.
This is quite true.

Eh, I think most MM pessimists are fairly objective and just want to see him prove it on the field before giving their full support. There will always be a contingent of the fan base that have been sour on him from the beginning and won't change their opinion, but for the most part, a W against Oregon will silence the detractors.

True. Everyone will be be happy for the players.
Skeptics may hold out for 1) beating a ranked team, 2) bowl eligibility, 3) ability to recruit better than half of our Pac12 conference peers.
While beating a down Oregon team will signal the first conference win in over 20 months, a victory in this game should not define the season any more than the Hawaii loss.
Speaking personally, this is a "show me" year, and the stretch goal is punching a ticket to a friggin bowl game.
If Mac delivers on that, he will have won me over. Anything short of that, and he'll continue to be on an increasingly short leash for 2016.

I think you are giving the Eyore and Salem contingents (the majority of Buffs' followers at the moment?) too much credit. A win, or even a good game tomorrow, and the band wagon lands some of the much-needed fair weather fans who liked the Buffs most of a generation ago, and piques the myopic interest of some new ones. Take it where you can get it, I say.

College football fans fairly objective? The next one of those I meet will be the first. Hahaha! From what I've seen, I think Nik might be the only one here who qualifies.
