It’s been several years since the Oregon Ducks lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff, but it appears that the wounds of that defeat are still fresh for at least one former Oregon star.

 

On Tuesday, former Oregon wide receiver, Darren Carrington, took to social media to drop a cryptic message that seemed to suggest that he is still bitter about the loss to Ohio State.

 

“Still got the taste of disappointment in my mouth,” Carrington tweeted. “January 12, 2015, a day that will forever be etched in my memory. The what-ifs still linger, but I know we gave it our all. #GoDucks”

 

For those who may not remember, January 12, 2015, was the date of the College Football Playoff National Championship game between Oregon and Ohio State. The Buckeyes won the game 42-20, capping off an improbable playoff run that saw them win three straight games as underdogs.

 

Carrington’s tweet seemed to suggest that he is still haunted by the memories of that game, and that the loss still lingers in his mind. The “what-ifs” he referred to are likely the thoughts of what could have been if Oregon had won the game, and how different his life might be today.

 

While it’s understandable that Carrington might still be bitter about the loss, it’s surprising that he would still be dwelling on it several years later. After all, Carrington went on to have a successful NFL career, playing for several teams including the Houston Texans and the New York Giants.

 

However, it’s clear that the loss to Ohio State still stings for Carrington, and that it’s a memory that he will carry with him for the rest of his life.

 

Carrington’s tweet sparked a lot of reaction on social media, with many Oregon fans sharing their own memories of the game and expressing their own disappointment and frustration.

 

“I still get mad thinking about that game,” one fan tweeted. “We should have won it all that year.”

 

“I know, right?” another fan replied. “We had the best team in the country that year, and we let it slip away.”

 

While it’s clear that the loss to Ohio State is still a sore subject for many Oregon fans, it’s also worth noting that the Ducks have made significant progress as a program since then. They’ve won several Pac-12 championships, and have consistently been one of the top teams in the country.

 

So while the memories of that loss may still linger, it’s clear that Oregon is a program on the rise, and that they will continue to compete at the highest level for years to come.

 

As for Carrington, it’s clear that he will always carry the memories of that game with him, and that it will continue to motivate him to succeed in all aspects of his life.

 

“Still got the taste of disappointment in my mouth,” he tweeted. But it’s clear that he’s not letting that disappointment define him. Instead, he’s using it as fuel to drive him forward, and to achieve greatness in all that he does.
