A Ton of People Fell For This Ridiculous and Fake Mario Cristobal Quote About Auburn

The University of Oregon is set to play Auburn in the first week of the College Football season, and it appeared that Oregon's head coach, Mario Cristobal, had provided a quote that would have fired up the Auburn squad before their eventual clash.

But did he actually even say that quote?

It appears that the bulletin board material is fake, a made up quote falsified by the Twitter account seen above. Cristobal did not give that quote in any interview, and the page posted it as a mockery of Oregon football and their fans.

The account in question then further insulted Ducks fan by insinuating that they couldn't take a simple joke, though to be fair, it truly seemed as if the account was blatantly reporting fake news. After all, they went as far as to credit Robert Moseley of Goducks.com for the falsified quote, so it never came across as clear that this was a joke, by any means.

What is clear, is the SEC is a far superior conference to the Pac-12, and of late, Oregon football has not been the elite team they were just a few seasons ago. Cristobal's comments certainly seemed questionable, and now we know that the Ducks head coach never even made the statement to begin with.

The two teams will get the chance to settle their differences on August 31 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas to prove which school is truly better.

The hoax did rattle a bunch of Oregon fans and the college football community, but once the apparent leak of the quote, Robert Moseley of Goducks.com, verified that he never reported the quote, everyone realized that they had fallen for the trap set by the Twitter account College Football Quotes.
