THE ONE TAJH BOYD THREAD-(official: Boyd to Clemson)

[MerDuck]

From Tajh's facebook page written himself last night at 11PM his time.

All my life i've faced adversity people talk about me and hate on me but it only gave me that extra motivation..... while people are sitting on their asses talking crap i'm working i'm ready to pick a college and just keep working harder.. the more spotlight i've gotten the more critics i've seen.. who are these short writers and analysts who can't throw a football 15 yards to judge me i've been blessed people take my kindness for weakness but my kindness is the reason i'm blessed you can't please everybody i'm one of the coolest humble people you'll meet so if you don't know me please don't judge me with the lords blessings i feel i'll be successful in whatever i do....... negative people just wait and see.

Jhop, that is on his "myspace" page if anyone plans on looking it up.

goducks I took it off of facebook, don't use myspace personally. SO it may be on both it sounds like.

[chapelhillduck]

It's nice that Taj doesn't charge 10$ to access his facebook and myspace pages

[jhopduck]

You mean it's nice Brian Butler doesn't charge $10 to access Boyd's myspace and facebook pages. (I know he's not his "handler", but you know he would if he could)

[UofDuck]

Jhop:

Thanks for taking a few to answer my question. Truly appreciated.

One thing that has stood out to me ,is i have read clemson sites saying osu is eliminated and osu sites saying clemson is eliminated..I have not seen anything saying that oregon is eliminated, I KNOW that this probably doesnt mean anything..I think it is interesting though,WE ARE IN IT TO WIN IT!!

[jhopduck]

Remember gentlemen,
There are no points for second place.

That is all.

interesting article. tahj says that he wants to enroll in spring and play spring ball...clemson is on a semester system so tahj wouldnt be able to enroll in the spring... i got my fingers and toes crossed!

If we get him great, if we don't get him, BFD. Next year we'll just see the same hand wringing from the same quarters, but about new "must haves." Just like last year was about the same thing too.

Getting wound up about recruiting is mostly a monumental waste of time and of one's sanity.

As to second place, you don't get points, but you offer a kid who wants to be a Duck. How that is a total loser of a proposition eludes me.

[jhopduck]

I won't ever say don't offer a kid!! I'm all for it. I dont' care if they are in Florida, Texas, Canada, Puerto Rico. Bring em on.
The no points for second place is a catchphrase joke from top gun. You 20 year olds may not know top gun as well. Tom Cruise/Jets/Kelly McGillis/Kenny Loggins soundtrack. Epic Film

However it applies here, finishing second on 30 recruits yield us...................

Oregon, just a gut feeling. Mind says Ohio State. Which do I follow?

[DmoneyDuck]

I really want this kid for a few reasons and here's why:

Landing him makes Oregon even more of a household name. You never know if he has underclassmen friends who will know look at Oregon as well, like Harper and his friendship with Bryce Brown.

It gives Oregon options at the QB spot. We all know we have faced injuries and it could still happen again, that is the logical thought process of depth. But I have another take on depth. I am a believer that DT wil be great, same with Masoli his JR and SR years, but for some chance either doesn't live up to the hype, we have Boyd waiting in the wings. Basically, the more amount of high quality payers we get, the less chance we have of the QB position not being in good hands.

Finally, he just looked amazing in the AA game, and that was without surgery.

My prediction: All signs point to Oregon: Chip, quotes, his major and our ties with Nike...but I think distance will eff us in the A once more and his parents will convince him that Ohio State is the place to be.

I'm 23 and I am definitely not too old for that movie or that quote...I grew up loving it and got to see it on the big screen with my dad and brother's for my birthday this year up at McMiniman's sp? in portland...if you haven't got to do that yet I suggest you take the time and do so...great beer that you get to drink while watching a movie in a real movie theater and they show old classics...I believe they do it once a month

Oregon, just a gut feeling. Mind says Ohio State. Which do I follow?

if he chooses ohio st. over us its because he knows there is no way he can come in and beat out j.m. after watching him run people over and through T.D. PASSES.. JUST KIDDING...KINDA!!

[Penky26]

any word on a way to watch or listen to this?
