Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

Re: Devon Blackmon
Probably some of the best quotes I've heard from a recruit. I'd be pretty surprised if Blackmon didn't end up at Oregon. He'd be a tremendous pickup and could be deadly in this offense.Devon Blackmon (Walnut, Calif./Summit) took his first official visit of the year to Oregon this past weekend and it sounds like the Ducks are in a good spot for the talented athlete.
"It was awesome," Blackmon said. "I had a great trip, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Everything stood out there; it's impossible to pick one or two things that I loved because basically, the whole visit was a highlight for me.
"The people and the fans are incredible. I was signing autographs and everyone knew who I was. I loved the city of Eugene and how it's a cool college town. I bonded really well with the players and recruits and of course that offense is so explosive, I think it would be a great fit for me."
Blackmon was hosted by Josh Huff and Keanon Lowe but said the recruits hung out with just about the entire team over the weekend.
"It was one big family there," Blackmon said. "It was cool to hang out with George Farmer and the other guys from Serra, Jason Gibson and Marqise Lee. We all talked about going to school together and Oregon is very high on all of our lists right now.
"At this point, I'm not sure what other visits I'm going to take, I don't have anything else set up. I'm still looking at the same schools, Cal, UCLA, USC and Alabama but I'm definitely feeling Oregon a lot right now."
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Re: Devon Blackmon
I'm hoping he's able to sway the Serra kids as well.

Re: Devon Blackmon
I would take that to mean that Farmer, the Gardena, CA kids, and Blackmon are going to commit to Oregon.

Re: Devon Blackmon
We could only hope. I think Oregon is very high up on all of their lists but they still have plenty of visits left between them that could sway them somewhere else. Getting to the national title game and possibly winning it would be huge to sell to recruits late in the recruiting cycle.NCDucks09 wrote:I would take that to mean that Farmer, the Gardena, CA kids, and Blackmon are going to commit to Oregon.
