Spoken like a typical, spoiled, self-entitled schmuck. They are good. They should be. 1. I am not entitled to anything. 2. The team has EARNED the wins. So let me get this straight ... you think that money makes the difference when college athletes play games. So, would that mean that Oregon State would win more games if the donor base actually cared enough to buy tickets and donate money? Do you think if the players on the Oregon State men's basketball team and Coach Tinkle played in Matthew Knight arena that they would actually be in the tourney? There are a dozen reasons why any collegiate team succeeds in competition. I can name a few: 1. Hard work 2. Team chemistry 3. Great coaching 4. Home field/court support 5. Good kids 6. Talented athletes 7. Sacrifice I can't seem to find where a budget number changes any of those factors for success. Which is why underdog teams overachieve and rise above. Again, not a single building or locker room has EVER won a championship. It takes the effort of the student athletes guided by their coaches. They EARN what they achieve. I earn nothing from their accomplishments ... and I am entitled to nothing from their accomplishments. Envy and jealousy is evidence of self-pity ... What a moron... ok, you're more "off" than on, but you're quite the honk. So, would the same athletes that play the game, the same coaches who coach those athletes attend/be at said school with no morale compass without the aforementioned $$? Would the hefty paycheck and perks be there? Would the fancy lockerroom and facilities that help wow them be there? Would the pressure to win that has caused numerous NCAA violations since 1996 be present without those $$? Would there be a strength and conditioning coach putting youngsters in the hospital who only holds web based Certificate with no degree in exercise sciences or athletic training? Ooops... with that culture you're right $ would make no difference in that case! Give up... you came on once before and were made a fool of. Stick to your own board, you can trade all the green colored "fantasies" you'd like. But, no one here is buying. And, as it was said before... there is no self pity or jealousy here. No one that supports OSU would want to have success the way whoregon has gone about. Many of your own old time fans have a hard time being full fledged fans any more. They're embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for you. 😊

Article on si.com said Phil Knight cut off a piece of the net during the ucks post game celebration. If that isn't an "owner" thing I don't know what is. What other booster would be allowed to climb up the ladder and cut off their own little piece of the championship net?? Not me I am sure. NCAA where are you. I am sick of this double standard and looking the other way for this guy and this program.

The Ducks played a great basketball game and all we can do is fabricate reasons that they did not come by the win honestly? Really? Hoping they lose is natural, but justifying hatred by fantasy makes the board members just seem, well, butthurt. There are, I am sure, no rules as to who can cut down a net. That seems to me to be the winner's call. And they were winners yesterday nooooo doubt about it. Let's worry about the beavers please. Hell, we won the football game last year, and as any Duck will tell you: football>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>basketball. They know it. That is why the paid through the yin yang to hire a new coach. They are not dumb. Or are they?

Exactly. Phil doesn't put out the buckets of cash unless he thought it would lead to far more wins and far better recruiting

Before Phil started pumping money into uo athletics Oregon was a power in Track, and that's it. From 1962 until the year 2000 the dux made it to the NCAA tourney just once, and that was in '95 (not sure when Phil started infusing money). That's just basketball. Football success has obviously been tied to Phil's money. Things changed after Phil started dumping money hands over fist into uo athletics, it certainly wasn't tradition that started landing recruits for them.
