Barr to play video games with Tosh... Permanently

[PDXShogun]

I'm surprised by how surprised everyone seems to be about this. This guy's been a Cal lean since the summer. We made up some ground when he visited Eugene but at no point would we have been considered the favorite.

I understand that Cal has been a bit of a thorn in our side in recruiting, but we're still the better program with the better team and better coaches and until Cal can prove they can do something with all these players and stop this decline their program has been in for the past 4 seasons now, I'm not afraid of them at all. The talent isn't nor has it been the problem down there. This doesn't change anything. I think we can still expect to get a very good recruiting class.

I'm glad someone brought some sense to this thread. This guy was all Call all along. One note from espn recruiting got everyones hopes up but everything else pointed to this guy being a flopping Bear all along.

Its frustrated to see guys we want go to Cal but in the end it really doesn't affect us. We've been twice as successful with half as successful recruiting. Now our recruiting is just as good as there's. We're playing for a national title, they aren't going to a bowl. Why do we care?

I'll take Azz, a tremendous coach, over a guy who bonds with teenagers really well. And Azz is doing a fine job recruiting as well. He just doesn't get every DT on you're little wishlist.

I just have my hopes set on a couple of DT that can play the run and put presuure
on the QB. It just seems like we are losing all the battle with CAL sucks but we will
be fine I'm sure.

Fu**ing hate Cal....seriously...

I just don't understand how we can't get 1 or 2 stud DL's every year????What is it?I'm not talking the top5 ,but even some good beef on the line would be great so we don't get pushed around by the big teams.Then we wouldn't have to do so much scheming and blitzing to put any pressure on the qb's.I love our guys we have and the coaches really do a great job with those kids,but it would be nice to get some pressure on the qb's with just a four down linemen set!!Imagine how great our pass coverage would be with our talented db's,wow???

Kelikiipi, Hart, Hiemuli (all freshman), Ebert & probably Shelton say hi. Probably one more to come too.

I don't get the obsession with DTs. We had a few guys, Wade, Fili & Thompson, dissapoint us & now we think we need to make up for it every year by signing six 4* DTs every class. We will be fine. Haloti was a once every 50 years guy, its gonna be a long time till we find another guy like him.

[jay13]

Yeah I know you are probably right,and I do know the real studs like Ngata come around very little for any program.Maybe I'm just one of the long time Oregonians that is a little nervous when it comes to these big games like the previous 2 Rose bowls and the upcoming NC game??? You know us Oregonians don't get the big wins as much as we want them! Sure is a lot of fun though! I also really love this site and all the info everybody has along with the excitement,well done thanks.

[greenyellow]

I wish we had DTs that could dominate a game if called to do that, but there just aren't enough of them that even consider Oregon. Oregon got lucky with Ngata and we just have to hope that the coaches can find another like him.

Ouch, this one hurt. I'm getting really sick of Cal lately, we've fought over recruits for the past decade but the past two years have just been ridiculous.

I guess they can really step up their recruiting game since they don't have to worry about practice and preparation and all that.

Maybe they all truly want to join the Screen Actors Guild.

Tool me a minute, but well played
