Re: Gabe King to Oregon?
I hope he comes to Oregon, but he just may feel more excited about Berkeley. That part of Cali is a beautiful place with tons going on... you can't say that the night life in Eugene is better than it would be in the Bay Area!
That said, if he's interested in playing football for a great team in a place where he can really focus on academics -- and in a town where he'll be worshipped -- then Eugene is the place for him. Our gameday atmosphere's can't be matched, nor can the love the town showers upon the team.
In the Bay Area, the Golden Bears compete with all of those California teams for attention.
In Oregon, it's all Ducks and Blazers with a hint of Beaver.
Boy, that last sentence reads funny!

Re: Gabe King to Oregon?
Keep in mind King is a pretty playful dude.....He might be trying to stir the pot and add suspense to the announcement. Might even have White playing along with him. Who can say.
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Re: Gabe King to Oregon?
Then why is it not official yet? I will say he's a bear until the day he says he's Oregon's. I guess we will wait to see who's right. I hope I am wrong though, I would love for him to be a Duck!

Ever heard of Danny Ainge? Kailee Wong? A couple of Eugene boys the Ducks wanted desperately.NCDucks09 wrote:The kid is living in South Eugene, if that's not the biggest sign in the world that he's going to Oregon then I don't know what is...
G.King is a Duck, from the obvious that I can see.

Re: Gabe King to Oregon?
King has no ties to Eugene. He hasnt been here very long. His girlfriend I believe is going to OSU though so it would keep him closer in that regard.
I dont think you can use Danny Ainge in an argument. That was a LONG time ago. =)

I like this idea NCDucks09 vs someone who doesn't believe we have a good chance at Gabe. Not sure there is anyone like that on this board out there though.

Gabe King goes to Cal NCDucks09 has to put "I NCDucks09 am 100% sure Gabe King ends up at Oregon" somewhere in his signature till signing day 2011

That would be a pretty stiff bet. If you agree to this bet quote this post and put "I agree" underneath it.
