As an ASU student, I can definitely back this up. The apathy of the student body here towards the team is palpable. Still, the importance of home can outweigh pretty much everything for certain kids. I think his comment about his head wanting Oregon and his heart wanting ASU is very self-aware. He knows what's at stake and what the pros and cons are, and obviously it's still a hard decision. Fingers crossed.

Home + weather difference is tough to overcome with some kids. AZ to OR pretty drastic change. Some handle it, some don't. ( I am a 20 year Oregon resident from Cali- although Oregon is now home, I will never totally get used to this weather).

I think its easier to adapt to a cooler climate than a hotter one. Moved to TN a couple years ago...f this humidity. Gimme the rain anyday.

You might be right 96. I lived in AZ for 4 years in my 20's. Even though I am from Riverside (semi-desert), I had a tough time with the AZ summers. Oregon winters are more about surviving the mental part of all that gray.

There are plenty of good looking girls in Oregon. And really it could be worse, have you been to Seattle lately?

I have to agree, i'm from San Diego and i actually LOOKED for schools who had a cooler climate. Its been really easy to adjust. Weather doesn't stop all that many people from coming to a school.

I was born and raised in Eugene and lived there most of my life up until 2000. The winters are what really started to get to me. Yes, it gets hot here in the Phoenix area, but I learned not to go stand in the sun. I go from the air conditioned house, to the air conditioned car, to somewhere else that's either air conditioned or where I can swim. It's sunny and beautiful outside right now. As a matter of fact, the complex I live in is putting on a new roof today. It ain't that way in Eugene today.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Oregon and will always consider to be home in my heart, but I'm getting older and I need some sunshine. Besides, I run into all kinds of Duck fans down here all the time. I just had a great chat yesterday with someone that's met both Chip and Uncle Phil. Cool guy!

Still, I hope DJ becomes a Duck.

I haven't seen any recruiting updates on him either, but I do know that his team won again on Friday and they're playing in the state semifinals this week.

He is "Day to Day"

Sounds like Foster is waiting till after his season is over to announce.

That's good for us. Erickson is done, the closer to his firing the better.

Yeah, I agree. Especially if we keep on racking up big wins, the head will start to prevail if it has not already.

Yep. I just saw that in the R-G this morning. I'm pretty sure they play tonight and, if they win, they'll probably play for the state championship next week.

He's probably waiting to see how ASU does the next couple weeks too. If ASU loses to Arizona Dennis Erickson will almost certainly be fired. That is, unless by some miracle they still get to the conference championship, win and get to the Rose Bowl.

One would think losing to an Arizona team that fired Stoops mid-season would be the Death Knell of Erickson's tenure...
