I'm actually not jealous of you guys, and am very proud to be a Beaver fan. However, you do have some valid points, (oh my).
1. Better Facilities - Yep
2. Superior Athletes - In terms of Athletic Talent, yes. In terms of winning (need I mention 3 of 4?) no.
3. Phil Knight and Nike - Most Certainly Yes!
4. Better Educational School - That's debatable depending on what you're majoring in, generally yes.
5. Better Looking Cheerleaders - I haven't been keeping track, but is this really relevant? I can't see a sports fan going "man, our team sucks because we have unattractive cheerleaders!" etc.
6. Better Coaches - No way. I'll admit that Ernie Kent is decent, (Certainly better than whoever we have now, haha), but between Pat Casey (2 National Championships), Mike Riley (19-8 last two seasons) we've got you beat by a long shot. Despite consistantly getting top-25 recruiting classes in most sports, Oregon has been majorly underachieving in actual wins. That translates to poor coaching. (Belotti).
7. More Money: This basically falls under "Phil Knight", but yeah.
