A guy with one post? Seems pretty credible.
From everything I've heard they are both strongly committed to ND.

Well, there is also a fairly lengthy thread on them on talefeathers as well.

Could be something to it.

The scout thread has nothing in it really. Just some people 'hoping' they'd reconsider.

As far as I'm concerned if you're a good fit at ND & their ideals fit yours, you're not a good fit at Oregon. Would I take em? Definitely but I'm not losing sleep over these guys.

Curious if George would be a WR or a RB? His size and speed would be a great fit at wide out for us.

from what I understand he was being recruited as a WR, and possibly a DB. There is no way Oregon uses a scholly on him as a RB

I was going to say that their positions aren't great needs for us........ but if George can play WR then I guess that would be nice.

Lol why not? Because they may be Catholic or religious? So if you're catholic or religious you aren't a "good fit" at UO? I hope this isn't what you're insinuating, because that would be immensely ignorant; but I'm not sure what other "ideals" you might be speaking to.

Haha no definitaly not. I probably should have expounded more on what I was saying. I was talking about their football culture, not the school itself. ND is a great school as far as education & those things goes. I'm a Christian & would prefer my kids went to a school that still has some christian roots & catholic influence.
ND football is all about tradition & arrogance. They're given the benefit of the doubt every year & really don't have to earn anything. Come play at ND, be on TV every game & be the talk of the national sport media even when you have a losing record. We get clauses in the BCS that make us jump teams ahead of us & jump way up in the rankings as soon as we win a couple games. Its almost the exact opposite culture here at Oregon.

No I understand. I definitely see how you could have taken it wrong.

Oddly enough I wonder if it will start to change if they don't start winning. A recent game (Boston College I think) wasn't even shown on t.v.

FWIW, I felt like I knew exactly what you were saying in your original comment.
