    jesus christ, you motherfuckers are dooging it up. Yeah, he was no good! It was all hype! "Cases involving stealing"? You sound like a bunch of jilted lovers.

    Next stop: Ellensburg

    No one cares about the fagball they play in Ellensburg. HTH.

    It appears that Shirley can use the Oregon basketball rule to transfer anywhere he wants because he's graduated. The rumor is....


    Back to UCLA

    So UCLA wants a guy with his kind of production? Why? That's what I thought.
    If you have an open scholarship, you are getting a guy with 18 career sacks. He's a senior and if he doesn't work out, you bury him on the depth chart. There's very little downside. Maybe he provides depth so a freshman can redshirt. He had 3 last year because he hardly played and fell out of favor with the coaching staff. He's far from a great or complete player, but he's not terrible either.

    It sounds like Peetamus is imploding. I am also hearing he is rubbing people the wrong way within the AD. It's just what I am hearing so no need to go and twist things, I didn't have to give you guys this information.

    He's already wanting to remodel the office that was just built a year ago.

    We're lucky you even post here at all.

    I never get too bummed when a player transfers. We have 85 scholarships for a reason, and we only get players for 4 years anyways. Who gives a fuck if we lose a pass rushing specialist who only had one year left to play? Frees up a scholarship.

    I believe we are already under the 85 limit. Shirley is a senior, meaning his scholarship would be freed up after the season. All Shirley leaving will do is give a walk-on a scholarship for the season.

    Shirley leaving hardly matters, but it is the offseason, so at least it's something football related to talk about. Now losing Taylor Hindy is great because he was terrible and it will free up a scholarship.
    My bad. Thought we were still at 86. Anyways....who the fuck cares?

    8 solo tackles last year. 5 assisted. Those are Talia Crichton type numbers. Enough said on that. I doubt USC or UCLA would have him, even if he could transfer to a D1 school.

    WDWSA, but Talia Crichton would piss all over himself for 8 tackles in a season.


    Talia Crichton had 8 solo tackles in 2010. 9 in 2012.

    HTH

    Sounds like he pissed all over himself and his wish was granted. Twice.

    Shirley's a one-trick pony that rushes the passer with a speed move.

    As RoadDawg mentioned, he's not great but he's not terrible. He's not a waste of a roster spot on an 85 man roster ... but at the same time you're not relying on him to be great.

    Lost a decent, situational pass rusher. Not a huge blow but I would have been happier if he was still at UW for his senior year.

    I'm sure he was shown the door for a reason though. It's not real surprising that an overhyped recruit, with known character issues, that dropped to the bottom of Sark's depth chart would not stick around for his senior season with a new staff known to have higher standards.

    So what we are agreeing on here is he didn't come close to living up to the hype.

    He didn't live up to the hype because his coach was FFS, hth.

    Peterman apologist.

    This whole thread sounds exactly like what was going on on doogman when Coach Willingham started running off players, some of whom had issues,yes, but still....could play.

    THis whole thread belongs over on doogman

    So you're saying he didn't live up to the hype.

    I thought Wilcox was a fucking genius or something, no?

    So you're not saying he is TW, or comparing him to TW, but we should be asking questions? A lot of twisting going on here.

    Shirley was a Sark guy but was reduced to a situational player under Sark. He's not a big loss. HTH

    the whole thing is less extreme than under TW. Peterman is much better. But, it still sounds ominously like the talk going on on doogman when, eg., Chambers was run off.

    Every time he entered the game we immediately knew what the opposing team's gameplan was. They'd line up and run directly at him. He'd crumble like a house of cards every time.

    I'll always remember him on a slightly fond manner for his performance against Baylor, didn't he have like 7 sacks in the game?

    Shirley was a good pass-rushing specialist when Kikaha wasn't around and before Cory Littleton showed up. His best years were the two years that Kikaha was injured and when Littleton was not here/redshirting.

    I suppose with Shirley gone, that moves Jojo Mathis and Marcus Farria up the depth chart. Too bad Sark burned both their redshirts last year.

    This isn't about Wilcox. Or is fat fucking Sark not responsible for his players and assistant coaches?

    Most people give Wilcox, not sark, the credit for improving the defensive. Can't have it both ways. If Wilcox gets the credit for improving players, he gets the blame for when they regress. Or are you giving Sark credit for the improving play on defense. Please clarify.

    HTH.

    Actually, it seems very reasonable to say that Wilcox improved elements of the defense while at the same time failed to connect with certain players. Who on the coaching staff decided to give Shirley a shot after the laptop thing? Assuming Sark and Nansen. Like I said earlier in the thread, wgaf, next.

    You're right, he hasn't redshirted yet. I only saw his 2013 stats and figured he redshirted in 2012... but no, he played and even started a game.
