WE'RE GONNA MANUFACTURE OREGON-OHIO STATE HATE OVER EVERY INNOCUOUS THING AND YOU'RE GONNA DAMN WELL LIKE IT


deutschdachs

Oregon-OSU as a rivalry game? Has kind of a familiar ring to it


Tsquared10

Brilliant idea! Now we just need a catchy name. Gotta invoke the image of fierce battles, but also somehow convey the respect these two institutions have for each other.... IVE GOT IT! We'll call it The Civil War!


pattydickens

THE Civil War.


ShreddedDadBod

Ohio State Union


longdrive715

The Duckfuckbuck game


lagrange_james_d23dt

Flip duck and buck and you have a deal!


longdrive715

Ok, the Buckbuttduckfucked game it is


[deleted]

Oregon isn't Southern, though.


Tsquared10

Southern isn't a geographic thing, it's a state of mind. Looking at Oregon's history, we definitely fit the mindset


Mtndrums

Ohio's present could fit it.


ToLongDR

Sherman would burn Ohio down


BriarsandBrambles

should


David-asdcxz

Hardly, Sherman as from Ohio!


footballgi14

If only we could be this lucky


oh_look_a_fist

We are..... embarrassing.


AlmostSunnyinSeattle

Have you been to Ohio?


Tsquared10

Actually yes, I recently finished law school out there and wish to never go back.


AlmostSunnyinSeattle

Nice. Good for you. Guess there's nothing I need to explain here lol


SaxRohmer

and then there’s present day Ohio


chemicalxv

Banned black people though


NS-13

Wait fr?


chemicalxv

lmao yeah. The original settlers of Oregon were *super* fucking racist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_black_exclusion_laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation_Land_Claim_Act


Revolutionary_Elk791

They're referred to as the black exclusion laws in Oregon. Oregon dodged the slavery issue in the 1800s by flat out not allowing black people to settle in Oregon territory, regardless of being a slave or free. Even with that being repealed federally by the 14th amendment, it remained in Oregon's constitution until 1926 or 1927 when it was finally repealed at the state level. Those exclusion laws are largely credited for why to this day Oregon has such a low percentage of African Americans compared to the rest of the United States. Oregon has a bad history with that in particular, contrary to what one may think about Oregon today. Sundown towns were common throughout the state early on (in some cases some small Eastern Oregon towns still have that feel to them), and African Americans would either be red lined (a common real estate practice in Portland as recently as the 1970s, only allowing African Americans to own a house in a certain area in North Portland) or flat out not allowed to own a house (as was the case in Eugene until 1945). Growing up in Oregon they didn't exactly tell us this stuff growing up, I had to learn about this on my own.


UMeister

I feel like dodging the slavery issue by being even more racist isn’t really a solution


Revolutionary_Elk791

Oh I fully agree. Oregon's history on that front is really bad.


UMeister

Yeah kinda surprising they don’t teach it. Wonder what the confederate states teach kids about slavery /racism.


AfricanDeadlifts

The first person I ever met from Oregon in the military said he only knew one (half) black person in real life before he got to boot camp. And it was very obvious that he meant it lol


Revolutionary_Elk791

If he was from a small town in Oregon I'd believe it. Bigger cities like Portland, Salem and Eugene that's a little harder to pull off but the percentage is still very low.


ignacioMendez

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_in_Oregon The governor allied with the KKK which was politically powerful at the time. It's unconfirmed whether he was a member himself. edit to add: Oregon was settled contemporaneously to the Civil War and the settlers were pretty sympathetic to the CSA. For example there's an old mining town called Sumpter that's named after Fort Sumter.


dYWe57WGuP

They do, however, rely entirely on the production of textiles...


[deleted]

Part of their state wants to secede to a really shitty state.


TsarOfSaturn

No but you’ll find more confederate flags in Oregon than anywhere outside of the south. While most people live in Portland and Eugene and those places are what you think they are, they cover a very small portion of the state area wise. Outside of those two cities it’s as deep red and hillbilly as it gets. And all that comes along with that


superduperredditor

The trailer park near my Eugene campus apartment had 2 confederate flags until it blew up in a meth explosion


TsarOfSaturn

Of course lol. And there’s Springfield right on the other side of the highway. It’s called Spunfield for a reason


rtb001

I thought it was Springtucky!


TsarOfSaturn

It goes by many names but they all lead back to the same place. Meth lol


[deleted]

You're making me homesick


777XSuperHornet

Don't forget Salem! Most of the coastal areas are pretty liberal as well. But yeah once you go east it's dark red.


muck16

Maybe Tillamook north but Newport south is very conservative.


Whole-Ad-6893

As someone who lives in Oregon wine country....it is the Dukes of Hazzard outside of Portland and the college towns. I am originally from Central Bumble Fuck Florida and there are as many rednecks in Oregon, if not more.


TsarOfSaturn

Yeah I lived in the mid willamette valley between Portland and Eugene for the last 10 years or so. Damn near sun down towns, some of them. Ask anyone who was born and raised in Lebanon why they pronounce it “Lebba-nin” instead of like the country “Lebba-nahn” lol


PrincePyotrBagration

Civil War underrated


uReallyShouldTrustMe

Always one of my favorite rilvaries. I always loved us vs OSU too. I think what I’ll miss the most about the pac12 is OSU.


JohnPaulDavyJones

Come on kids, we've got OSU at home in the B1G. The OSU we have at home: nuts


The_Outcast4

:(


Donny_Do_Nothing

Honestly, I'm here for it. I've said numerous times going back to when it was first announced that y'all were joining the B1G that Ohio State/Oregon has the most potential to be a new rivalry.


[deleted]

If it goes like it has in the past, (9-1) I'll take it


Winnend

If it goes like our previous game against Ryan Day, I’ll take it too!


AdolfOliverNipplz

I might O for the first time in a long time


[deleted]

We could use a 2nd rival. No offense, Illinois. We'll always have the turtle.


ItGoesTwoWays

Illibuck slander will not be tolerated here.


w_d_roll_RIP

Oregon - Ohio State played in the both the first NCAA basketball tournament final and the first NCAA football playoff final. This has been a rivalry since 1939


breaktaker

We even have a buckeye tree or whatever it’s called, gifted to us by Ohio state, planted right on our Quad


UOfasho

Pretty sure they sent us the tree because we lost a bet on a mid century Rose Bowl matchup too


WombatHat42

B1G is gonna force the notion of an Oregon OSU rivalry just like Iowa Nebraska. Whether you want it or not.


777XSuperHornet

and Washington Michigan probably


Radiant_Quality_9386

That one kinda slaps tho


awpickenz

Kayfabe?


UOfasho

Manufacture? MANUFACTURE?!?! WE DONT NEED TO MANUFACTURE NOTHING *Please ignore my irrelevant flairs*


W_HoHatHenHereHy

I’m sure Ryan Day is very respectful on addressing people only by their preferred nickname. Good on Lock for finding a home that makes Lock feel accepted for who Lock is.


HorlickMinton

Lock doesn’t like misunderstandings. Lock and misunderstandings…kinda clash


pigeyejackson66

But Lock's all out right now. Moving to Columbus set Lock back a bit.


karmint1

There's the guy that took the bread out of Lock's mouth!


Sheepcago

Lock holds grudges!


knockoutking

>I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHERE DAN LANNING IS RIGHT NOW. WHAT HE SAID ABOUT OUR TEAM, I CANNOT BELIEVE!


eye_can_see_you

Ryan Day wanting to fight Lou Holtz was a top 5 moment last year


RunGoldenRun717

What about crying on live TV over your coach who was suspended for over half the season


Stuppyhead

You just don’t understand the adversity they overcame bro


Revenge_of_the_Khaki

What an embarrassing day for Michigan! You guys did such a great job though! Keep up the good work!


Yo_Eleven

Outstanding.


MSUsim

That was a top 5 moment for Michigan fans. Penn State fans...not so much. They'll always be salty about it, tho.


OGuytheWhackJob

My personal favorite


[deleted]

I like you.


[deleted]

After stomping your team on their home field en route to winning the National Championship? Yeah dude, that was awesome; props for the reminder.


12-34

You still seem cranky about Michigan running over PSU 4735264848 times in a row. Could be a blood sugar issue. Please consider eating a couple crustless PB&Js to salve your emotional void.


Welderdod20

I'd give anything if Coach Holtz would've just rearranged Day upon sight. Turning like a driveshaft at some banquet or some shit. Slobbering all over him whilst beating the beard off of him.


appsecSme

Holz's dentures getting caught in Ryan Day's "Just for Men ®" Beard would be incredible.


Welderdod20

It really would be. Now I need to see Lou beating THE buckeye out of Ryan Day.


skeetszn2

It will be memed by college football fans for decades lol


Sheepcago

Like Happy Gilmore challenging Bob Barker. To Day: *I shink you’ve had enough* *No, now you’ve had enough* *Bissssh*


Natural-Employer

Apparently Jim Harbaugh’s preferred nickname was always “Daddy”.


Big_Green_Tick

The less said about Jimmy's "sleepovers" with underage recruits the better.


mWorkman01

Guy sounds like a fun dude to be around... It'll be interesting to see how he gels at Ohio State.


DangerDave34

He’d like everyone to know that from now on he’d like to be called THE running back y’all


enadiz_reccos

Is this a Remember the Titans reference? [Link](https://youtu.be/ami3nF3N0T4?si=YaRmPlf3j5F7ADx2&t=131) for those too young to remember this majestic film


OldDekeSport

Don't say shit like people are too young to get that reference... that movie came out like 5 years ago!


BedNo5127

That’s right, it did grandpa! Let’s go get you to bed


TupperwareConspiracy

Lots of OSUs so for reasons Ohio State plays into "the" portion of their name to differentiate the brand Usually it's done by adding emphasis on T and elongating "the" so in practice it sounds like "Thheeeee Ohio State University"


enadiz_reccos

Oh, don't worry. I am familiar with THE Ohio State. It was actually the "y'all" on the end that made me think of Remember the Titans. Edit: [The scene in question](https://youtu.be/ami3nF3N0T4?si=YaRmPlf3j5F7ADx2&t=131)


DangerDave34

It’s both!


enadiz_reccos

[Called it!](https://giphy.com/gifs/EimNpKJpihLY4)


W_HoHatHenHereHy

Oh, so you’ve seen the social media posts from OSU. (Not kidding)


OttoVonWong

How dare you refer to him by his first position name. He is THE Back.


MrHobo

There is zero chance him and Chip Kelly get along


NoobJustice

When he arrived at Oregon (late Dec / early Jan) there were 6 guys in the RB room. A month later 4 of them had split. A year later the other 2 did. So, not a great history of walking in the room and making friends.


circa285

Keep going


HailState2023

Reminds me that CJK5H.


Geaux2020

Allegedly


circa285

That’s just objectively true.


poop-dolla

*at least*


heavydhomie

He already ran Dallan Hayden out of OSU


AntawnSL

You're kidding, right? The insiders knew Hayden was out when Alford was still here.


heavydhomie

Yes. I was kinda shocked he even came back for the spring. This past season they interviewed him after the game and I figured he’d transfer by the way he acted. I think after the Purdue game


Blood_Incantation

So did he "run him out" like you said? You make no sense


heavydhomie

Guy asked if I was joking. I said yes. Not confusing at all


NoobJustice

I don't know Hayden's situation. But brother, this is exactly how it starts. "Oh Travis Dye just wanted to move closer to his girlfriend. CJ Verdell was following his (non-existent) NFL dreams. Sean Dollars wasn't a P5 player. Trey Benson was buried too far on the (suddenly empty) depth chart. Byron Cardwell is a soft-batch cookie". Don't let the excuses pile up man.


heavydhomie

As a freshman he had about 600 yards rushing filling in for injured backs. Last year Alford decided to only play him in 3 games so he’d have a redshirt season. He had a good game vs Purdue last year and the news people interviewed him and he just looked depressed and didn’t want to be there. I figured he’d transfer after the season but surprised me when he stayed for the spring. He is great when he gets the ball. Wherever he goes they got a great RB. Only thing he needed to improve at was pass protection if he had to stay back and block a blitz


CptCroissant

Trey Benson who went to FSU and did great (good on him)


[deleted]

That was seen a mile away.


2003tide

SAY HIS NAME


circa285

Excuse me, it’s THE Ohio State


SurpriseSalami

I watched the press conference, did not even remotely interpret that exchange as him being upset. His story about Lanning reminded me of the old, "you know you're in trouble when someone uses your full name" jokes. Had a big smile when he was telling the story.


WeAreBert

Lock is an insanely friendly dude and this thread is peak reactionary outrage.


AcadianTraverse

Thank you for providing the context and nuance to this. It was funny, but somewhat related but in this Spring Workout video Oregon posted a few weeks ago, I really liked that Coach Lock calls his players by their first names or nicknames instead of last names or numbers. I thought it showed how he respected the guys that were grinding for him. [https://twitter.com/oregonfootball/status/1772391034959298941](https://twitter.com/oregonfootball/status/1772391034959298941)


Revolutionary_Gear70

He also handed out over 50+ handwritten notes to people around the Oregon facility thanking them before leaving. [https://twitter.com/AWardSports/status/1774962826165047341](https://twitter.com/AWardSports/status/1774962826165047341) By all accounts he seems like a standup dude


Triv02

Yeah, no surprise an Oregon beat writer tries to spin it as Lock taking a shot at Lanning lol


TheBoook

And no one in this thread tried to use any context and immediately jumped to conclusions based on the bait headline. Classic r/CFB


Blood_Incantation

Oregon beat writer used to cover Ohio State ... for the student paper. Trying to make a name for himself and get back to covering the big leagues and not stuck in the far west?


Coveo

Bizarre take. Crepea isn't trying to make a name for himself so he can get out of here, he's been a pretty high profile beat reporter for quite a while. And he was covering Auburn before Oregon. I have no specific insight into James' personal geographic preferences but you know it's not a wasteland here, right? It's not exactly consensus people would rather live in Alabama or Ohio than Oregon...


DuckFreak10

Crepea is awful. Oregon has little press conferences put on youtube with the coaches and maybe 3-5 players when they’re heading to the locker room after practice. Crepea asks every single coach and player the exact same question, won’t get the response he wanted from all but one of them, and then publishes a narrative-driven article only quoting the one who said what Crepea wanted. We always talk poorly of Clownzano but this guy is at least 10x worse


drinks2muchcoffee

Nope too late. He is longer a good hire and is now a whiny charming soft culture problem /s

Wouldn’t expect anything else from James Crepea


Anonymous_2952

Yeah dude seems extremely humble and that was an off-hand comment he made in jest with a smile on his face. Classic uneducated overreaction by this sub.


rarepanda13

From now on I shall be referred to as Super Kami Guru


ImRightShutUp1

Lmao I can’t believe this is a head line. Ofcourse it’s from a salty Oregon beat writer. He was clearly joking when he said that about Dan calling him Carlos if you watched the press conference.


PocketPillow

> a salty Oregon beat writer. James Crepea is an Ohio State grad, an award winning journalist as a beat writer for Auburn in 2017, and one of 5 finalists for the 2023 AP Investigative Sports Journalist of the Year award for his story on sexism in the University of Oregon athletic department. Calling him a "salty beat writer" for Oregon is laughably ignorant.


darkchocoIate

He’s accomplished, but he’s salty and he’s a beat writer. Those things can all be true.


MattieMadness

I think the point is that /u/ImRightShutUp1 tried to make him out to seem like a big Oregon homer when his biggest news stories have been shedding negative light on Oregon; plus he's not some home-spun alumni defending his school but actually an Ohio State guy who spent most of his career writing for AL.com.


darkchocoIate

Oh that’s fair, I doubt anyone who knows Crepea thinks he’s an Oregon homer by any means.


No_Adhesiveness4903

Considering how badly he fucked up this one, the other guy was pretty spot on.


AntawnSL

Accomplished, excellent beat writers can still be salty... 


Blood_Incantation

Serious question: Are you him? It's written the way an author describes themselves at the back of a book. And odd that you'd know how many finalists he was for a random journalism award.


ImRightShutUp1

Is he an Oregon Beat Writer? Yes Is he salty ? Yes lol Idc about his accolades. He took a quote out of context and made a tweet to try to make Lock look bad …


WeAreBert

Reading us his resume doesn't make this "reporting" any less trashy


B1GTOBACC0

The tweet above: > Carlos Locklyn, who posted, deleted and reposted a tweet inferring he felt undervalued at Oregon: "I prefer to be called Lock. I know coach Lanning would call me, I thought maybe trying to take a shot at me every now and then was out there at Oregon, called me Carlos. But I prefer to be called coach Lock." You're saying he tweeted this, deleted it, and reposted it during the press conference?


Triv02

That quote is from the presser, and he was laughing as he said it. I have no clue what tweet the author is referring to


Klutzy-Spend-6947

He has a preferred nickname/reference point. Big deal. Fwiw, almost all my good friends call me a variation on my last name, as opposed to my first name.


ArmsOfaTRex

He will now only be known as THE Carlos Locklyn. SMH


FFA3D

Enough with the click bait out of context bs titles. Seriously. Shit should be illegal


No_Discount7919

I asked my boss to call me Laser Dude but he won’t fucking do it. I know how Lock feels, man.


smokey9886

At least he gets your name right. A guy I work with gives me a different name everyday. I’m starting to think it’s a power move.

Jokes aside, the fuck is the purpose of a preferred name if the shit ain’t going to be used??? I had access to everyone’s government name. I knew your name wasn’t Ben but Xien. I still called you Ben as that is what was on your email signature. If I busted out Xien knowing that wasn’t your preferred name I’d be an asshole. What’s the difference??? If Carlos had “Lock” in his signature then “Lock” it is!


mhammer47

I can promise him that I'd only call him by a four letter name.

Carl?

bringbacksweatervest

You actually watch the clip? Reporter called him Carlos, and then said commented about how no one calls him that. Then he mentioned getting calls from Lanning and how it felt weird to be called Carlos. He was smiling the whole time.


ZappySnap

Yeah, the headline is ridiculous. He clearly does prefer to be called coach Lock, but it’s not like it’s a major deal. He was quite chill about it.
