owa

[thomas time]

I listened to an interview on a sports talk show in portland with owa and they asked him where the ducks fitted in with him. He said that they were in top three which we all know, but he said after thinking it over he felt more comfortable at oregon state than oregon, and liked the beavers coaches. Take that for what you want, I know it doesn't mean anything now but i thought it was kinda interesting. They also asked him where he would've gone if it not ucla and he said beavers since they are close to home so I don't about all that nebraska stuff. maybe just rumors?

Great take...if it came down to OSU and U of O honestly I believe Chip and their staff were to much for Owa...honestly Chip is a intense guy...he speaks fast and direct.. and Owa's temperment probably didnt fit with Chip and co. style...you hear Mike Riley talk and hes soft spoken...kind of slow with his words..more calm and I think that fits Owa's personality.
So Ucla vs Nebraska really....came down to miles! with Ucla and New Weasel's promises, sun, engineering, locale! Owa was sold rather than going to nebraska....where mom and family wanted him close to home!

Smack, I have to give you credit, this is your best post ever. Still barely readable, but you make a good point.

After watching Owa stumble and stammer through his speech yesterday, his personality definitely does seem to work better with Riley and Weasel.

How is it not readable? The multiple periods is basically the end of single sentence or thought. It's fairly easy to read.

Is it really too much to ask for even a halfway decent sentence structure? I'm normally not a grammar police officer (although I COULD be, I normally try to let stuff go) but most of Smacks "..." don't need to be there as they're a continuation of one thought (use of a comma once in awhile would work just fine). He's definitely gotten better from his first posts, but I guess I just don't think asking for complete, cohesive and even halfway correct sentences, with a period at the end, a space or two separating one point from the next, etc. is too much to ask. I'm all for stream of thought writing, and I use it a lot in posting on these boards, but it takes like 30 seconds to go back after and turn thoughts into sentences.

Non-learning-impaired 5th graders know how to construct a complete sentence, so I don't think Smack's issue is intelligence, as I said in the previous post, he thought about and mentioned something that no one else had yet, which I thought was a very good point. I guess I just think that this board is a little better and more intelligent than "txt spk". I'm not asking for Oprah-endorsed prose, simply something formatted and cohesive. It's my belief that keeping standards around here at SOME reasonable level can help keep a lot of "riff raff" away... Just my thoughts. As I said, Smack's post was a really good one and even his writing style is improving.

Really? I find this sentence interesting grammatically:

In fact, it is a run-on sentence. Perhaps your grammar police badge should be revoked?

It must be the off season. This thread has turned lame.

Find for me where I ever said that I had perfect grammar.

There's a SERIOUS difference between small grammatical problems and writing a post as if you're a 10 year old texting herbff.

And yes this thread is getting lame.
