Oregon Gets Mocked By The Internet For Trying To Rip Off Miami’s Turnover Chain

Before the start of the college football season UM cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph called legendary Miami jeweler AJ Machado to ask if he could make a huge rope chain players could wear to celebrate on the sidelines after forcing turnovers.

The initial thought was a rope chain that players would get to wear after forcing a turnover.

“Naw, man,” chimed in Wilfork, recently retired after a 13-year NFL career. “We got to do the Cuban link, AJ!”

The consensus among the three was a collective “Hell yeah!”

“In Miami, what are we famous for? We’re famous for the Cuban chains,” Machado says. “But we need to add a little something to it.

“So we did a big U charm — orange stones, green stones in there to flash it out.”

Miami’s turnover chain has been one of the best things to come out of this year’s college football season so it’s not surprising that other teams would like to try to copy the U’s gimmick.

Tonight, the Oregon Ducks attempted to show off their own turnover chain and it just wasn’t the same. The chain, which appeared to be made of silver, looked pretty weak in comparison to Miami’s flashy chain.

Of course the Internet had some thoughts about Oregon’s poor ripoff of Miami’s turnover chain.

It’s pretty hilarious that Oregon, which is known for it’s flashy uniforms, came out with such a weak uninspired chain that was sure to be mocked by everyone.
