Recruit

Recruit (1/7)

  1. Couldn't agree more. The Cardinals look extremely tough!!!!!!! Hopefully they forget where the game is being played and are about 2 hours late for tip off.
  2. Usually, like any university we've got some "not so nice" fans, usually they are the newbies/bandwagon fans. We try and educate them to act like you've been there before. Talking trash is just non-productive. Should you get out this way to visit, you'll find that we live in a very beautiful part of this country. And if you like the outdoors you'll love it even more. Myself, I'm retired, 5 miles from a small golf course that costs basically nothing to play, flyfish, white water raft, and hike. Others in my area love to ski, white water kayak and mountain bike. I've got a beautiful home on over an acre with a 120 feet of river front, the area is surrounded by national forests. We've got Elk herds that can ruin a golf course, bear, cougar, fox, bob cats, and deer that may wander into town under the right circumstances. We have our problems, it's a very small community so job growth has been poor, medical and dental are about 35 miles away. But so is the University of Oregon.
  3. Again, I want to wish you well going forward. I've enjoyed the great Saint Louis fans.......
  4. Makes sense to me. I can see Cal and Oregon fans pulling for each other. It would be harder, much harder if it was the beavs or the puppies from seattle.
  5. It's really frustrating when in state talent leaves. Kevin Love, Kyle Singler, Danny Ainge and yes guys like Brian Conklin as well. I mean come on, Oregon has a very small population base we should keep local talent!!
  6. Woods, Austin and Carter can have a big impact inside. Woods can put up 20 very quickly if you don't put the clamps on him
  7. Well as far as the spanking goes, I think this will be a low scoring game where 10 points will be a big lead. So I don't see any spanking going on. If either team gets a big lead its going to be tough to come back. Ducks need to limit turnovers and shoot better outside against Saint Louis. We play good defense for the entire game, rebound, control the paint and we should be very tough to beat.
  8. Truth is Beauty and Beauty is Truth....... bit of a steal from Keats. Also make for an easy way to live life whether its in a board room or message board.
  9. Haven't seen VCU before today. They look very quick, not big or physical inside. Sort of long lean and quick inside. Be interested to see if Mich pounds them inside. Mich looks solid and should do ok if they handle the pressure and quickness. Don't know which team has the depth to sustain the pace. That could have an impact. Easier to slow down tempo (advantage Mich in my opinion) than speed up the pace (advantage VCU)
  10. I don't know any realistic Duck fans that think Oregon will "handle" Saint Louis physically.
  11. I loved this guy. Great coach. Loved what he did at Utah. I think what he did there had a significant impact on Utah getting into the PAC-12. Many times he was one of the first coaching names that came up when Oregon was looking for a coach. People in Eugene loved this guy. You're luck to have had him as a coach.
  12. I'm not sure that's all that wise. Oregone has done well in the second half. If it's close at the half Oregon is in good shape. They tend to play much better defense in the second half.
  13. Oregon is just getting started building the bball program. Facilities are in place, new arena, beautiful student academic center, new weight training facilities, etc. Very good coach, still could use a few more fairly dominate offensive players. Honestly, with the early departure of "super stars" to the NBA these days, I'm beginning to think it's not smart to recruit them as they will be "one and done". Rather have good talent that works hard and plays team bball.
  14. Probably not, but the mascot can apparently handle a Cougar....This is from a few years ago........... Turns out the Cougar was actually a redshirt football player for Houston.
