You stated some emphatically anti-Cal opinions that from our POV seem to imply we do not belong in a P4/5 conference. Of course my memory may be befuddled with some other posters and you were unfairly lumped in.

You stated some emphatically anti-Cal opinions that from our POV seem to imply we do not belong in a P4/5 conference. Of course my memory may be befuddled with some other posters and you were unfairly lumped in.
Bottom line, and I believe I speak for most Cal supporters, we are definitely disappointed with our current state and, some of that group, is disappointed with a longer span of historical disappointments. So, I, for one, want to here positives or constructive negatives, since the back of my mind is screaming existential despair.
Yeah I have some emphatic opinions -- several on here do -- but anti-Cal opinions? No, those were just opinions, period. They are anti-Cal to you because of your emotions. Anti-Cal would be saying it's a terrible place to be, which it isn't. But saying it brings no additive value to a conference where it doesn't bring additive value isn't anti-Cal. I get it, no one likes it when the school they love isn't Notre Dame in value and prestige, but there's only one Notre Dame and most of the rest of the schools have places they fit and places they don't. The truth is Cal brings no value to most athletic conferences right now because quite frankly it hasn't been good in football and basketball for quite some time. That's not anti-Cal, that's the unfortunate truth.
So, if I share the painful truth about Oregon being relatively recent to national contention on a Duck fan page, that's not trolling (looking to irk folks)? Fun Fact: Oregon was just another Pac 8 team until Uncle Phil came in with his big wallet.
Like I say, I might even agree with some of what you say, if phrased differently, but you seem to think it benefits Oregon if we're simply put in the back pasture. I would call that nothing less than an anti-Cal POV and, what's more, you post these "truths" on a pro-Cal site. Hmmmm....
