Someone over on educk is claiming that they are considering dropping ND and coming to Oregon.

George **** RB http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=4707330
Josh *** CB http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=8&c=1&nid=4795526

A guy with one post? Seems pretty credible.

From everything I've heard they are both strongly committed to ND.

Well, there is also a fairly lengthy thread on them on talefeathers as well. https://secure.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=12 ... %3d6576417

Could be something to it.

The scout thread has nothing in it really. Just some people 'hoping' they'd reconsider.

As far as I'm concerned if you're a good fit at ND & their ideals fit yours, you're not a good fit at Oregon. Would I take em? Definitely but I'm not losing sleep over these guys.

Curious if George would be a WR or a RB? His size and speed would be a great fit at wide out for us.

from what I understand he was being recruited as a WR, and possibly a DB. There is no way Oregon uses a scholly on him as a RB

[Boom]

I was going to say that their positions aren't great needs for us........ but if George can play WR then I guess that would be nice.

Lol why not? Because they may be Catholic or religious? So if you're catholic or religious you aren't a "good fit" at UO? I hope this isn't what you're insinuating, because that would be immensely ignorant; but I'm not sure what other "ideals" you might be speaking to.

Haha no definitaly not. I probably should have expounded more on what I was saying. I was talking about their football culture, not the school itself. ND is a great school as far as education & those things goes. I'm a Christian & would prefer my kids went to a school that still has some christian roots & catholic influence.

ND football is all about tradition & arrogance. They're given the benefit of the doubt every year & really don't have to earn anything. Come play at ND, be on TV every game & be the talk of the national sport media even when you have a losing record. We get clauses in the BCS that make us jump teams ahead of us & jump way up in the rankings as soon as we win a couple games. Its almost the exact opposite culture here at Oregon.

No I understand. I definitely see how you could have taken it wrong.

Oddly enough I wonder if it will start to change if they don't start winning. A recent game (Boston College I think) wasn't even shown on t.v.

FWIW, I felt like I knew exactly what you were saying in your original comment.
