Couldn't the same be true of any school he choses? If he has poor grades, he'll either be going to the U or he'll take his bad grades elsewhere.

Your statement needs to be recast in such a way that would put your current status as a student in a better light. :|

uostudent was making light of the recent history of stud DT's that have poor grades.

A fair comment that made me chuckle.

All of those guys are recent history.

I'm surprised you didn't know that was an issue hines. It was kind of a big deal.

Not like Oregon is the only school with this issue. DT is not typically full of Rhodes Scholars. In the SEC, they just don't worry too much about the grades.

so about 4 years then? that's actually pretty good. we've had a quite a run on most players making it in within the last 5 or so years. can't bat a thousand every year but we've done pretty well if you think about it.

Fili and Wade were together and Thompson came after them. Part of what made that Fili/Wade loss so hard to me at the time was that we had TWO dt's in the Army game and it just felt like we were going to have some real size up the middle.
