I applaud any kid these days that makes a choice with thier parents in mind. So many kids decide to go against them, it says alot about thier upbringing!

I am from N. Cal and grew up watching the Ducks and Sooners. I went to school at Oklahoma but have always been and always will be a Duck! If Oregon had a strong debate team, its highly possible I would have went to UO instead. Sometimes you go where the power is and what gives you the most competition. In NCAA debate, the power is all in the mid-west. Having the chance to take on the 5 time defending NCAA debate champs every weekend was something I could not pass up. I am sure some of these kids are thinking the same thing.

Not anymore. Oregon are national champs in parliamentary debate.

Actually, Oregon in general has really improved as a forensics state. Little Willamette HS in Eugene actually fielded the first ever national champions in Public-Forum style debate (then known as Ted Turner Debate).

[TualatinDuck]

There are three styles in the NCAA, or more appropriatley the NFL. Parlimentary (the weakest style), LD, aka Lincoln Douglas, and the least known is doubles team debate (speed kills). I will not go into the details as it will bore most of the participants of this board. The reality is, when I was in college in 92, ALL the power was in the Mid West and only 2 schools on the west coast had any real chance. UoP and Lewis and Clark. Stanford was a close third but they got thier ass's handed to them by the mid west schools. So these days, I could care less, my point was, when your being recruited for a division 1 schollie, its all about the competition and who gives you the best shot of advancing in that field.

You still went to Oklahoma...I'm sorry.
I don't think I'll ever forget how that school reacted after the game in 2006.
It's not a knock or diss on you, personally, I just loathe OU.

Thanks man. Some posters on educk were throwing around the nickname "Death Rowe" & I had the perfect pic already so I figured I'd throw the nickname on there.
