Seastrunk story.

Wow, just wow. Are they allowed to blatantly out and out lie like that?
"In the eyes of the NCAA, the money was payment for delivering Seastrunk to Eugene."

Re: Seastrunk story.
BEFORE HE EVER carried the ball, Seastrunk announced that he planned to win a Heisman. At one point during his freshman year, he says, then-Oregon head coach Chip Kelly sat his redshirt down and said: "You're trying to win the Heisman. You need to try to figure out how to get on the field." Recounting the story, Seastrunk slides to the edge of his chair, leans forward and says, "That was a discouraging thing, you know?"
Love Chip Kelly

Re: Seastrunk story.
Tough love is really what's needed for football players thinking of individual awards before team goals. No player should be thinking of a Heisman before even stepping on the field with experienced starters ahead of them.Boom wrote:BEFORE HE EVER carried the ball, Seastrunk announced that he planned to win a Heisman.

Re: Seastrunk story.
Especially considering the 'sanctions' we received. You'd think that if it was that cut and dry, then we would have had something more than 1 schollie and some restricted recruiting. Shouldn't really surprise anyone though, ESPN is becoming more like TMZ every day. Case-in-point, stories about Manziel getting kicked out of a frat party at Texas or anything Tim Tebow.greenyellow wrote:I know.

About the only thing I visit on ESPN is Ted Miller's Pac-12 blog since everything else doesn't really matter to me.Duck24 wrote:Especially considering the 'sanctions' we received.

Re: Seastrunk story.
Did I miss something where the football program threw Seastrunk under the bus? I don't remember that at all.
Seems the most mudslinging was done by Lache, and in this interview.

Re: Seastrunk story.
Add Tim Keown to the list of guys not to take seriously. His problem is that in order to create some kind of conflict, he uses Oregon as the evil, bad guy in this story so Lache can find his "redemption." This is why there isn't a single attempt by the writer to understand why a school would distance themselves from a recruit at the heart of a ncaa investigation. Gee, you think Coach Campbell could talk specifically about it due to the schools lawyers or would they tell him not to?Elduderino wrote:Did I miss something where the football program through Seastrunk under the bus?
