Worst Oregon Sports Injustice EverYou know, I was pretty miffed back in the day when Joey Harrington and his Oregon Ducks were forced by the BCS to play in the Fiesta Bowl instead of the Rose Bowl, despite being ranked #2 in both the polls. But I think what the Oregon women's soccer team just got smacked with is far worse. After the Ducks' emphatic 3-1 victory Sunday over USC - a team that ended the season fifth in the Pacific-10 Conference standings but received a tournament bid Monday - Oregon was so sure of its postseason chances that coaches cautioned the Ducks to take care of homework because they would be traveling Friday to a first-round NCAA Tournament game.There are 64 teams in that tournament, the Ducks were 2nd in the conference, and they didn't get a bid. Worst. Injustice. Ever. 7 CommentsAndy said on 11/07/06 @ 03:25 PM:That isn't even the worst injustice on the Oregan campus this year, just the worst one that has happened to an Oregan team. -Andy (in Oklahoma) Shane said on 11/07/06 @ 03:31 PM: As a Brit, I have to say that I find the workings of U.S. college sports very strange indeed! Jason Carr said on 11/07/06 @ 04:21 PM: It's big news here. The TV stations have been covering it for the last two days, and we (KEZI) even set aside a special sports segment to let people know what happened. The girls were in tears, and so upset that many ended up leaving the Casanova Center in total shock! UO Athletic Director Bill Moos says he'll do everything he can to find out what happened; but, there's really nothing that can be done to change the circumstances. Our speculation is the whole thing was political and done on purpose, or the selection committee made the biggest mistake of their lives! The former seems to make more sense. Josh Cordell said on 11/07/06 @ 06:25 PM: unbelievable! Nathan said on 11/07/06 @ 07:05 PM: Hey All, Nothing like living in "Oregan" huh? Being the integral state in the western movement of the 1800's you'd think people would at least be able to properly say/spell the name of our great state. -Andy, you should have paid attention in 6th grade history class, my friend. 'Nuff said. Andy said on 11/09/06 @ 07:04 PM: I'm dumb Chelsea said on 10/26/07 @ 09:21 AM: YEH w.e.! you OBBO Post a comment |
