Yeah, U R gettin old...as am I....I agree 100%.....But, it seems that the punkish tude is so prevalent these days, that it acceptable to show it in public....I think the whole "selection" thing on the Army AA game is a joke...Apparently the kids are damn near forced to make a public decision...Lots of pressure and all, just for the TV ratings....Unfortunately, I guess this is what happens as $$$$ become more important than the actual sport itself....Sad but true....BTW, has anyone found the Fountain of Youth yet...?

I think OSU comes out on top again. TB to TP could become a lethal combo.

I actually like the hat picking. It gets my heart beating fast for a few seconds. It's kind of cheezy, but these are 17 year old kids just having fun.

It pisses me off when guys like Austin act as if they are going to pick the O hat but it makes me laugh when they do it to SC or OU. Is that wrong? :lol: So yeah I like the picking of the hat. Oh and Boyd will be a Duck come Tues.

Oregon looking good for Tajh! It sounds like Chip is going to be with the Boyd's on Tuesday. Seems like that could only mean good things.

You would have to think that's a good sign, unless all three head coaches are going to be there

I'll give you this. A guy that works for scout said 95% oregon. He was in the Duck chat room giving us some news. He a very credible source!

It seems the Boyd's change their mind quit a bit so I don't want to get too excited just yet.

yo mattyk2010 how did you hear about that? That seems kind of sketchy i really don't want to call you out because there has been a lot of that but if there was a legit source that said that then all of the evidence would be screaming oregon (then again all predictors on both si.com, rivals and scout are saying oregon) and i just don't hear many people giving a legit answer besides (this board is very confident) did you hear that from a source or did you read it or something?

If we do get Boyd, watch our recruiting ranking jump about 10 spots.

This is legit info. A scout employee was in the Duck chat room and let us know of this interesting info. He is kind enough to come visit when there is news that we would like to hear.

Don't want to get too excited until it's official on Tuesday.

Oh yeah, he also mentioned Chip was visiting Bryce sometime next week. Exciting times.

Fountain of youth?

There were a lot of teenagers who thought I knew where it was, compared to their own Dads, until my knees (And a few other important parts) started to give out about 10 years ago, in my mid-40's!

When Hall didn't announce at the AA game it almost seemed like they were mad at him, and he seemed like he was being pressured to make a decision. That's messed up!
