"I can only assume that playing time was a factor," Kelly said. "This was not a two-way conversation. This was a one-way conversation. ... I'm disappointed." Evans, who Kelly said was "better suited for the slot position for us ... but he didn't see it that way," played six games last season, catching seven passes for 61 yards.

"I don't think it was anything he couldn't do," said Kelly, who explained that Evans was in the program's future plans. "Maybe some were able to do it a little bit quicker along the process. He was moving in the right direction. ... To really know what's in somebody's head relative to the transfer, I couldn't tell you for certain.

"Maybe he just didn't like the hot weather we have here in South Bend," Kelly added. "I don't think he saw himself fitting in the offense. We'll release him to whatever school he chooses that is the right fit for him."

Evans was an ESPNU 150 recruit and the No. 4 wideout nationally in the Class of 2009, according to ESPN's recruiting rankings. He chose the Irish over USC.

FYI...It's official. Evans is headed to UCLA.

Too bad he isn't eligable this season. They could use the help.

Ricky is lining up decent talent, but will he even be around to try to employ it?

I'm sorry, but why the hell would any self-respecting athlete go to UCLA? they're almost as much of a grease fire as Wazzu.

Oregon doesn't have the latter?
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/

The former, the latter is certainly not a problem in Eugene.

Certainly saw a some really hot girls while I was going to school, but there are also quite a bit of not so good-looking ones too.

The ratio of hot girls to blowpigs is relatively the same almost everywhere. The difference is what they are wearing due to the weather. The girls here are at least equally as hot as So Cal, they just are all covered up and can't be eye judged as easily. IMO, some of the hottest women on Earth work at Nike right here in Beaverton.

On average, the girls at Oregon aren't great. The cheerleaders are hot but they don't represent the female populace at UO (obviously). Fortunately, I was in the Greek system, where the girls were a bit better looking.

Anyways, from what I've seen....
ASU- hottest girls in the Pac 10 (and up there with any college I've been to)
UA- 2nd best
Wazzu- big party school=lots of good looking girls
UCLA- lots of gorgeous girls, especially if you like a little diversity
OSU- sadly better than UO and they aren't there for the engineering program. OSU is a much better party school than Oregon.
USC- with higher admissions standards, the quality has declined.
UO- quality of student body is improving, thus fewer hotties
UW- great if you like Asian girls. With higher quality applicants, the quality has declined
Cal- see above, but far more extreme. Only slightly better than....
Stanford- ugliest girls I've seen on a college campus, other than Georgia Tech.

Westwood, the academics, playing in the Rose Bowl, the weather.

There probably isn't a more well rounded school in the Pac 10 than UCLA.

Damn dude, your experience at UO and mine varied quite a bit apparently (on this topic at least). I wasn't in the Greek system, but I'd agree with you that there are more good looking girls that go Greek; I never really sensed a big division between the Greeks and Non, as I spent quite a bit of time partying with buddies that were in Frats and Girls in Sororities, so I know what you're saying. Generally speaking though I found no shortage of really good looking girls running around campus.

On a side note that I found funny, with the exception of UCLA, the higher the admission standards the lower the quantity of hot women. Hahaha

Did you graduate recently? I was talking to an older alum about a year ago and he commented that the quality of the girls was worse now than when he went there (in the 70's).

Agree that the Greek system at UO is pretty unique and there is a lot of interaction between Greeks and non-Greeks.

One more thing to add. I grew up in Los Angeles and there were plenty of good looking girls at my high school. I've been to Tempe three times to visit friends and I thought I was walking through a Victoria's Secret catalog. The quality at ASU is unbelievable. If only I didn't have a girlfriend at the time....

An average looking girl at ASU would be considered to be in the upper echelon at UO. On the other hand, looks aren't everything.

I can definitely understand why ASU does fairly well in recruiting even when their teams aren't doing well. :lol:

I think this clip from the Daily Show gives you a pretty good indication about where students' priorities at ASU lie.

I can remember the early seventies quite well, and the hotness of ladies not just at the U of O, but all over Eugene, seemed to be higher than many would suspect.

There used to be a multitude of very nice bikinis studying (And being studied) in the grassy medians along Franklin Boulevard (Especially around the site of the new Jacqua Center) and all over campus on sunny fall and spring days.

Come to think of it, that was about the same time the mini skirt craze peaked, as well.

Ah, youth!
