You guys have a loser attitude. The Tiger's have and will get elite athletes.

No some people are not delusional and see everything through blue colored glasses. Not being in a P5 conference is a disadvantage when it comes to 4* and above players. That is not a loser attitude but just accepting reality. Unless the kid grew up wanting to be a Tiger it is going to be almost impossible to compete with the P5 schools for that level talent. ESPECIALLY since we are on a coach watch, when the question is not if, but when coach leaves. If we have learned anything from the Cal incident it is that players often sign to play for the coach these days and not the school.

See the above.

With the National exposure we are getting, we can get some good talent.

Or until Memphis joins the Big 12. I wonder if Dillon's perceptions of Oregon have changed a bit due to recent losing?

I doubt it.

He's wearing Oregon type exclusive NIKE football cleats during games. I imagine he and his family are loving the Ducks.
