​Just who in the hell does Oregon State think they are? I'm all for incorporating some popular culture (no matter how nauseatingly outdated it might be) into college sports, but we are talking about a team that was starting on the road while coming off a 4-8 season. What in the world made them think they had what it takes to play chicken with the internet gods by putting themselves at risk of becoming a meme at the hands of a meme that is synonymous with abject failure? Fumbling away the 'Crying Jordan' play was nothing more than an ironic coincidence, but has the Beavers offensive coordinator ever heard of that thing people call an "omen"? Considering his team wasn't even favored against Colorado State, it might not have been the greatest idea to bust a visual representation of embarrassment to alert his team of a play that had the potential to end in complete embarrassment. Not saying it inspired his receiver to drop the ball, but it definitely inspired the internet to take notice and make fun of how goddamn awful Oregon State has become when he did.
