Bigelow enjoys his 48 hours in Eugene
He's a turn on a dime running back that's unafraid to take on tacklers. In fact, few backs have a style that fit the Duck offense as well as Brendon Bigelow's. His visit to Oregon featured all the usual things and his host was all-everything Josh Huff.
Bigelow commented on his host's big day. "Yeah, he was pretty good for sure. Before the game we just hung out and played NCAA for a bit and hung out with some of the other guys (Danny Shelton and Huff). I liked the stadium, campus and the fans and everything about it really. I'm still open but I definitely liked it. It was loud and crazy. The fans and stuff. It told me, it's a college town and everybody that lives there comes to the games and that kind of impressed me," said Bigelow.
When might he make a final decision? "I'm gong to talk to my dad and my uncle about it and start figuring it out. I don't know exactly when I'll decide though. When it feels right, that's all I know for now about that."
Bigelow of course is an explosive back who said the coaches see as a running back or a guy who could be used as a slash receiver. So what's he looking for in an offensive style of play? "The spread offense. That's it." said Bigelow. "It's similar to what I run in high school and my coach he grew up in Oregon. He came and took our program and twisted it up and gave us a chance to get the most out of our skills. We were running the Wing T and then he came in and put in the spread and we all thought what the heck is this? I love the offense/ I've been in it since middle school now. I love the offense because there's so many ways you can do things and a lot of ways to get the ball in your hands. It's exactly what my coach was telling me about."
Apparently, he's still set to visit Cal. Utah fans seem to think that he's going to visit there too (the first I've heard about that).
Getting B.J. Kelley would definitely help with Bigelow.
My guess is that it will be between Oregon and Cal. I'd be shocked if he went to UW.

Cool...Well that definitely sounds promising, now we will just have to wait and see whats happens but you know that "our version" of the spread has to seem pretty exciting to him.

Don't know why he would even consider playing at Cal of Washington if he is so adamant about playing in the spread. Might as well come play in the best spread offense in the country.

That's actually pretty cool, isn't oxygen one of the key elements needed to contain/enable life?

They announced a microbe from a lake in California near Yosemite that lives in arsenic. It's big because everything else alive on earth dies around arsenic. Now they will start to look for e.t. life in places where they find arsenic as well as places that would be friendly to humans. It's cool stuff. Nerdy, yes.

Cool, I love when we discover things that aren't possible (extinct life that seemingly comes out of nowhere or life at the bottom of the ocean that doesn't need sunlight ect)...and yes its nerdy but way cool too!
And probably why I married a scientist/researcher!

How about that law that states matter can't be created or destroyed, just changed? We're finding that may not actually be true as small particles of mass have been created and destroyed completely in the hadron collider. Also, the shortest distance between two points is NOT a straight line, but a single point existing in two places at once!
What? Were we talking about Bigelow? haha

Ever peruse the "Foundation" series, penned by Isaac Asimov?
All sorts of cool stuff swirling around in that Nuclear Physicist's head.

If you guys really want your minds blown, read The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil who points out that our technological advances are increasing exponentially (called the Law of Accelerating Returns) and that by 2040 we'll be uploading our consciousnesses into a giant computer.
