I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of transfer players get embraced by a fanbase quite like Tez Bo and Bucky

My parents are kind of fair weathered fans, they love Bo way more than Herbert. It doesn’t sit well with me, I like Bo but Herbert is Eugene through and through.

I'm a diehard Oregon alum fan and I like Bo more as well 😂 .

Basically, I think Herbert was a better player, but Bo was the required person to transform an entire program. Who would have guessed we needed a super religious choir boy, but we did, and I don't know if the Lanning era even starts without him.

Bucky is the best RB I have seen since LaMike/Barner (and honestly may have been better) so that's easy. Alvin Kamara.

And Tez was a wonderful story who then became a top-5 all time receiver, so it's hard not to like that.

Is Bo the son they never had? /s

He has been a great player for Oregon for the last 2 years. I am happy we had him on our team, and hope he does well in the NFL.

I’m not crying, you are crying. Definitely added to my list of all time favorite Ducks

Tez reflects a whole new generation of players who look at coming here as a destination. Ever since the days of Harrington, Dixon, LaMichael, the University of Oregon is a fantasy place where kids like Tez can come. Our culture, the fans, players, coaches, and Phil and special donors and admin are something special.

Tez you are such a special person and we were all lucky to have you be part of US. You are a DUCK

Best to you and your fam.

Thats what I’m talking about. In the 90s, it was somewhere you ended up. Now it’s a dream to work for!

u/Paulruswasdead 1d ago

Hopefully the broncos pick him up.

u/Mcpops1618 1d ago

Chargers would be way more fun

u/Paulruswasdead 1d ago

True, but you can’t deny that brotherly love

u/Autzen_Downpour 1d ago

They're brothers?! (Joking)

u/Zmoney743 1d ago

If the chiefs or the patriots draft him I’m jumping off Mt. Hood,

u/bigfootdude247 1d ago

Seriously. I’m a Broncos fan so I’d jump off all Three Sisters

u/BarelyRightnow 1d ago

One of our all time greats! This kid truly loved Oregon before he ever donned the uniform. Tez, We Thank You!

u/flyinnhawaiin2233 1d ago

Idk about yall but it’s insane how much he really ran away with the love of the fanbase this year compared to last. Nothing against him and his performance the season before, but something about how he carried himself this year was really special and connected with ducks everywhere in a unique way

11

u/EduardoCash 1d ago

I absolutely love that he mentioned Coming Home and Shout! That hits at the heart. **** I love Autzen!

u/funkoramma 1d ago

Such a good kid. I’m really pulling for him at the next level. Maybe he’ll be drafted by the Broncos.

u/Later_Doober 1d ago

I will miss Tez. He was an amazing receiver.

u/1GucciBucketHat 1d ago

just shed a big ass tear

u/escaped5150 1d ago

I got something in my eye goddammit, it hurts too.

u/docmphd 1d ago

Was so great to have him, can’t wait to see what he does at the next level!

2

u/Unfair-Worker929 1d ago

Prediction on if he gets drafted and what round?

3

u/OffTopicBen95 1d ago

To the broncos no matter what, let’s all manifest this reality for these guys

2

u/TheThockter 15h ago

He’s going to get drafted for sure, most likely 3rd round

2

u/Unfair-Worker929 15h ago

Sounds about right, to what team?

2

u/TheThockter 15h ago

Kinda would love for him to go to the broncos as a broncos fan. We could use an additional receiver especially one that can get separation and Sean seems to love to make players happy if it’s feasible if he falls to them in the third I could see them taking him

1

u/Unfair-Worker929 15h ago

I’m envisioning a dream scenario where you somehow got Skattebo or Jeanty, and Tez, and with Bo throwing to them? Broncos could make serious noise

u/dannydoggie 1d ago

Can someone explain to me who the HOTBOYZ are?

Oooiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Great player, and a good person. I hope he thrives in the NFL, wish him the best.

u/GoChampionship55 21h ago

Thank you Tez. Go get em at the next level!

u/DIY14410 19h ago

Great stuff. Best o' luck to Tez as he moves on. He has the stuff to be a Tyler Lockett type player in the NFL.

u/originalcactoman 14h ago

An honorable young sportsman and human being. A winner at life where ever it leads. Good luck young man - A Buckeye fan who recognizes character when he sees it
