Why is that post not on his twitter page?
Is Darren...Darren Thomas or is there somebody at Under Armour Bowl named Darren who may be a a future Duck down there?

No confirmation yet but this looks really good. He said he'd let his twitter followers know first thing in the morning. Keeping my fingers crossed that this sticks until his TV announcement tonight.
Yeah, looks pretty good early. I'm sure there will be a few more games before the day is over though.

I don't see anyone named Darren on the roster. It could be anyone though. And did he mean "Tacoi" when he said "Tacori?"

I am certain he is referring to DT. That is going to be his QB for at 2 more years.

Well, disregard, he just posted:
Usc usc is on my mind!
He's obviously still drawing attention to his decision. We won't know for sure until he announces on TV.

Blackmon said he'd announce first thing this am, but the game isn't until 4:00. No announcement time yet known?

And the anticipation and guessing continues.

A tip of the hat to Mr Blackmom. I normally don't follow the announcement thing too closely and never watch the hat ceremonies, but he has done a 5 star drama production that has caught me up in checking this thread every couple of hours.
Well played young man.

I was just going to post the same thing. Instead of being mad at the guy you really have to tip your cap to him. You would think that we're on the verge of signing the world's best ever football player by the amount of traffic that he's creating.

He reminds me of Cliff Harris. And I don't think that is such a bad thing.

I don't get this comparison at all. Cliff Harris is pretty quiet off the field, he just speaks his mind which leads to some great quotes.

If he was so quiet, you wouldn't have any great quotes.

Big difference between being brash and speaking your mind vs playing games to get focus attention on yourself.

Is one better than the other?
I don't have a problem with either as long as the guys can back it up on the field.

Okay. Like I said, he's fairly quiet but in interviews he says exactly whats on his mind. That leads to some great quotes. He acts nothing like Blackmon off the field. A kid who's not even on our team, still in HS, has Duck fans following his every tweet. We hear something from Cliff every couple weeks & usually its through an interview with the media not him going out of his way to stir people up & get attention. Cliff does his talking on the field, not through his twitter account.
