They are worried about the wrong thing up in Oregon, and it’s showing.
NEW: Oregon QB coach Koa Ka’ai evaluates recruits with a simple question: “Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?”
Any hesitation… and coach doesn’t want him.
“If you pause on ice cream,” Ka’ai says, “what are you going to do on 3rd down in front of 110,000 fans?” 😳 pic.twitter.com/2LgXHcqUOH

What was meant to be a home run statement from Koa Ka’ai turned into a PR nightmare for the Oregon Ducks, who have never won a National Championship since beginning the program in *checks notes* 1894.
Social media piled on the coach:
this is why yall have 0 nattys because yall are worried about fucking Ice cream

Prolly pausing because the question is stupid as hell.

If I’m a serious recruit, it comes down to one question. If they are willing to base my career on a question about ice cream, I’m not considering them.

If the kid pauses it’s because he’s wondering what he can do to stop talking to this dork. https://t.co/i2gOM3C5MP

That’s a neat trick, one little tweak if I may suggest it though. Try asking a question about playing football instead of one that’s stupid as fuck https://t.co/wQrvXZVli7

Maybe it’s time for Oregon to focus on football-based questions, rather than ice cream.
