As much as I detest this weasel, I have to admit he can be a fun read when pointed in the other direction.
Just keeping everyone up to date. The people who run this site don't seem too interested in putting out those things which question his innocence. The only think this really means is there is SOME evidence implicating him in the fight itself. While notions that he wasn't even there during the fight can now safely be eliminated, based on the standard of evidence needed for a search warrant, this hardly proves he did anything. But the story is beginning to be told. Here's hoping for a good game played by young men who deserve to be on the field.
Here it is, the beginning of the "September Fourth" legal strategy... guess we'll see how long they can hold out. Honestly don't fault them for hiring attorneys though, guilty or innocent, it would be my next move too...
I just read something on Oregonlive that made my blood... reboil. Care to know what it is?
While Gregg admits he doesn't know the truth of the Oregon investigation, he says Kelly MUST be fired, regardless of what that eventual truth may be. That's a bit of an over-handed statement, even by bald faced standards, don't you think? Then it dawned on me. Gregg Doyel is a UF grad. His father is a professor at Ole Miss, and he works for CBS which just happens to be both the news outlet which published this Spanish Inquisition and the network which happens to carry the very lucrative SEC Football Contract.... hmmmmm. Quiz time: Q: Which two states has Oregon been poaching players from in the Kelly era? A: Texas and Florida. Q: Which four teams have been the largest threat to SEC hegemony in the BCS era? A: Ohio St, Oklahoma, Texas, and most recently, you guessed it, Oregon. hmmm, wonder why is he out for blood? "My father wrote about this in his book. Chapter 1... Page 1... Paragraph 1: What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions?... Money." -Tom Cruise (David Ames) from "Vanilla Sky."
After multiple mistakes and suspensions, most people wrote the young man off. He had been suspended for an entire season, he was an upperclassman, and he had just made too many mistakes for...
Some alternative scenarios to consider going forward.
I just drifted over hear from A2Q to post this. I love your guy's "deal." I dig the band, I love the offense, I like Luck, and I like your coach. If I were a guy living around Palo Alto (sp?) I would frequent Stanford games... too bad the same thing can't be said for your fan base. Seriously guys, all the best, win out and go to the Fiesta, you deserve it. But your local fans suck and need a kick in the pants for not showing up to support a really great Cardinal team. Stuff like this is why Harbaugh will probably be coaching the Cowboys next year, and I'm not so sure you guys can keep this going without him... not yet anyways
New Oregon QB commit for 2011 class, just committed last night. Check the highlights. @0:29 He (unlike Masoli) tucks the ball after he commits to the run @0:59 Throwing motion is fairly compact and his throwing form looks a lot like Costa's @1:35 When the pressure comes (unlike Masoli) he pulls the ball into his chest with both hands to protect against the fumble @1:50 Handles the bad snap well.. There are some other goodies as well but those are the gems IMO. This kid is playing at a high level and with his 40 time (according to winter stats released by Rob Mosely) he will be the fastest QB on the team when he arrives. The future looks bright
"Somebody’s going to have to come up with a tricky nickname for those guys," Nate Costa YOU'RE WELCOME
Want to know why I hate national news coverage? It's how the cover the Pac Ten. It's 11:32 PM 5-1-10 as of this posting... Oregon has a nationally televised spring game in front of 25.000 people, honoring the troops and collecting 35,000 lbs of canned food for the hungry and as yet there is NO story on espn.com Princess Barkley gets a bruise on his hand in front of a mere 15,000 people... IN THE 8TH LARGEST CITY IN THE FRICKING WORLD and ESPN posts a story about it 47-20... princess
I've been as mad as anybody about poor blocking AI in previous games but EA is doing the right thing this year and getting it right. Looks sick!
Recently EA announced that they were putting our very own Puddles "in the game" come this July. I made a Fanshot of it, you can see it here There was some good criticism provided by ATQ members so I forwarded on to a guy I know who is a sort of online community adviser for EA. As you can see Jshufelt, your response paid off
The future at QB. Highlights of Costa, Thomas and even Hawkins from last fall. Did you see Costa run?
Not the best angle to see what he looks like, but we finally got our mascot on NCAA Football 11!!!!
Two tickets on Stubhub: $260 Lunch at popular sandwich store: $9 Pregame Beers: $12 New Gloves to keep my Hands warm: $15 Seeing a Oregon St fan attempt to deal with his team's second Rose Bowl season failing miserably at the hands of their rival. All the while trying not to listen to the voice in his head that tells him it's going to happen again next year: Priceless For rational postgame analysis there's ESPN, for everything else there's Oregon St fans somebody call the wambulance!
Good job getting your team back on the right track. Here is my blog, I thought you might be interested because this week's entry is a negative piece on Ohio St. and Notre Dame Lame. ENJOY!
UCLA: 8 yards better than 1/11th of our offense...
Looking back, and forward on Oregon's lost powerback
Alabama is over rated, Ohio St still sucks and Oregon is surprisingly good...
Interesting article. Might be the best theory yet.
I take a looks at the Utah game
"Sean will undoubtedly start, and I don't know what's going to happen when Lyle gets back,'' said Riley. "I will say one other thing about it. This is a team quarterbacked by two guys. I really believe that. This team belongs to two quarterbacks.'' --Mike Riley
