Lee?
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/

While he has said he wanted to leave the state, I just have the feeling that he goes to SC with Farmer since it's close to home and he'll have already-made connections there.UOducksTK1 wrote:At least he's waiting til signing day. The longer he waits, it's probably better for us..Bumi wrote:Lee?

Re: Who else can we lose to Cal?
Thats really stretching it. NA is a great reason though why kids would NOT want to play defense at Oregon. If you are a hs kid with aspirations of being a 5 technique dl, then Oregon is a terrible place to learn that in comparison to Cal. Yes Igor, Haloti and Junior can all play the 5, but that isn't because they learned it in Eugene. If I'm a big time DT, I don't know if I want to go play on a defense that can only stop the run by loading the box. Certainly you could argue that with dominant DTs we wouldn't have the need to stack the box as much, but as I've said countless times before, NA does not do a good job of coming up with anything new. As cutting-edge as Chip/our offense is, our defense is a complete rip-off of other coaches schemes, notably the zone blitz techniques that Saban has had such success with.duck55 wrote:I was just wondering how many posters who are upset about these kids choosing Cal over Oregon have also posted complaints about Nick A.
I'm sure some of these kids read the boards at the schools they are thinking about and there has been a lot of 'dump NA' and 'NA can't coach' forums.
Just thinking
