Give Oregon their props......

Salazar is from Cuba, Centro Sr. is from New York. Is your post for real? Wetbacks? Hey Archie Bunker this is the 21st century. Do you still use the terms commie and pinko, too?

You are easily the dumbest person on the this board, congratulations.

Everyone is an immigrant. Centrowitz's Dad is a Jew from Russia, mother from Jamaica. Lananna is a papist from Turkey. Thiesen is from Ukraine via Canada. Buckman is a decsecdant of rapists and felons in Australia. Keshia Baker is from a crappy part of Sacramento CA. So what's the big deal. Farah is from Compton CA via England. Kipyego is from Lubbock via Kenya. Schumacher's familiy were SS Nazi war criminals in Austria. Harry Mara likes men and women. America is a melting pot and so is Oregon. Portland and Bend is not new Eugene, it's 100 miles away. UO did good won 2 medals. UO is not UT Austin, FL Gainesville, nor UCLA, Cal, USC, or Stanford with a zillion medals every WC and Oly. But two is more than zero and that's good enough. Odds are in a few years 9 out of 10 of those named won't be in the state of Oregon any longer but they will always be welcomed back. We remember our friends in Oregon.

So true, the University of Oregon did very well with representatives in Centrowitz, Wheating, Buckman, Theisen, Eaton, Hostetler, Baker, Yurkovich, Rupp and Holliday. Eaton (gold); Rupp (silver); Baker (likely gold).

The Oregon Track Club Elite and the Oregon Project also did well with the likes of Jesse Williams, Mo Farah, Gena Gall, Sally Kipyego, Tegenkamp, and on and on.

Finally, the State of Oregon did well with Eaton (Bend, Oregon); Yurkovich (Newberg, Oregon); Rupp (Portland, Oregon); Hostetler (Newberg, Oregon).

Seems pretty easy for the Jamaicans.

Gotta give you credit. Bullshit is a topic you know and practice well.

Many great immigrants have come to Portland from Mexico such as Rudy Chapa, Alberto Salazar, Joaquim Cruz, and others.

There were a lot of other Oregon people competing who didn't get medals. Rachel Yurkovich, Cy Hostetler, Andy Wheating, Jesse Williams, and that young 100 meter sprinter for starters. For a small state, Oregon represented very, very well indeed.

And that's the only thing Oregon is really good at. Making excuses.

USC by themselves has 19 medals. NINETEEN. And that's not an exception: In Beijing, they won 21 medals including 10 golds. Oregon is a total joke compared to SoCal (or Florida). Always have been, always will be.

With one exception.

Oregon holds the world record for bullshit.

I never even thought of what USC was doing out there. Good point CoachD.

New York City had 13 Olympians in track and field.
