    I went to Oregon State, am a huge Beavs fan, and thoroughly enjoyed watching them win last night. However, the argument they're more accomplished than the Ducks is pretty silly. Can't we just enjoy this without bringing the Ducks into it?

    That will happen the same time Duck fans don't get super defensive about anything said that is remotely not blowing smoke up their skirt, OR remotely anything said about the UW Huskies.

    Sorry, I should have clarified what I meant.

    The math is correct. The odds seem off. A week ago I saw them as +1000 to win the tournament. That change from +20000 in a couple days is a massive jump for no real reason.

    My money is on Covid to make a deep run, maybe even a final four appearance

    ...what day exactly, had the tourney games started yet? Is it possible you saw it at +10000?

    Good questions!
    1. No, the tournament games had not started. It was after the last regular season conference games were over and the bracket was set.
    2. It's always possible I read the number wrong, but here's why I think it's unlikely in this game. The top four seeds were all in the +350-600 range. To jump from +600 to +10,000 from a 4 to 5 seed would be hard to explain, especially since the Beavs were also getting a bye.
    I'm not saying it's fake because I can't prove it, but it does not add up with what I believe I saw. Photoshop is a pretty easy tool to use these days.

    ...wonder if they just got super lucky betting before the brackets were finalized and Spirit Mountain was just slow to update shit? That does sound like quite a wide gap in odds though like you say.

    I could see odds like that back in January maybe. I really hope its true, I would love to see someone win that big.

    Also, here's some more context: The odds for Oregon St to win 6 straight tournament games against the best teams in the country are +8000. Compare the difficulty to winning 3 straight against the Pac12 at +10,000, doesn't add up. Odds don't change a ton based off win streaks or momentum either.

    I know some don't think anything out of football basketball and baseball count, but Ducks men's indoor track team just won the NCAA championship this weekend.

    stuff it frat boy

    Ducks and Beavers were doing just fine trash-talking each other when you showed up and tried to be the adult in the room. This room don't need no damn fake adults
