This reminds me of when we used to build teams in the old WAC, and you still had to go out and beat people on the field. Oregon is doing what you have to do now, just like everyone else. I watched Don Haskins build champions with heart, but he also went out and got the best players he could find. Acting like using the portal makes you soft is just an excuse for not keeping up. If you want to talk about tough, let's see it in September, not on some messge board. The game has changed, and crying about how others adapt won't win you any trophies.
