Wonder if Owa regrets his decision?

Post by hualalai06 »

I assume he feels like he'll go to the NFL. Then the academics at UCLA don't mean as much. Why not play for the in state, elite program that'll get you to the NFL and your family can watch every game?

I'm still bent about it.

:lol: I was thinking that the whole game. Along with some other guys on their team that chose ucla over us. I would let to get in their head & see what they're thinking. Especially late in the game when we're already just crushing them & our 2nd & 3rd stringers are still having their way with them.

Probably not. He chose UCLA for its academics. Isn't he majoring in engineering? Not every player's priority is athletic success.

He certainly blew a couple containments last night. He now knows what a lot of players have experienced at the hands of Oregon's offense.

I saw Brandon Williams throw him around like he was a rag doll more than a few times.

One thing I know for sure, he seriously regretted it for at least 4 solid hours of his life :D

He probably regretted it most as he was picking up his shattered pride left strewn all over the field after the game. That, and trying to find his jock strap and the flesh from his face being melted off right in front of his family.

Eh, I personally hate Los Angeles. It all depends on whether these athletes want to live in a big city or small town.

I wouldn't ever move to live there, but I differently wouldn't have mind spending a couple of my college years in Beverly Hills.

why would he regret not coming here? we weren't even in his final 3 per his own words. move on folks. he'd probably be RS'ing at UO. I'm sure he's glad he's playing.

Agree . Lived there for about 3 years. You couldn't pay me enough to live down there again.

There's no way Owa would be RS if he came here to Oregon.
