Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Where did all the Mora and Jonathan Smith Bashers Go?

AZDuck is kind of going Canard style being so sensitive. All anyone was saying is LIPO. It would be somewhat difficult to completely fuck it up with Mariota at QB. And stop with the bullshit about Helfrich finding Mariota. Sark and UW wanted him pretty badly too.
And you don't have 20-25 talent. It's top 10 with a great system in place. There is a reason you have had a preseason top 5 team the past two seasons. -
Oregon didn't play asu and USC and looked more talented than ucla

Mariota wanted to be husky, mommy said no way son........you are going to Eugene...

"Mom, I'm going to be a Husky." That's a direct quote from the story. -

I didn't bring up the doog wishful thinking on this thread. And Sark's entire coaching style at Oregon consisted of trying to do what we did and going after recruits that Oregon offered (see, e.g. Tyree and Tyrell Robinson, Tyner, and every other one of our recroots that were hyped as Washington leans on Doogman because Sark told Kim that to generate some "sizzle").“First and foremost, I have family in Seattle,” Mariota said in a phone interview Tuesday afternoon. “I took an unofficial (visit to the UW campus). I was able to meet all the coaches and meet Coach Sark. That was a really cool experience, honestly. I liked Coach Sark. He was very nice; he was very nice to my family.”

Mariota attended an Oregon camp in summer 2010. (Another relatively unknown quarterback, Johnny Manziel — the future Heisman Trophy winner who was committed to the Ducks at the time — was at the same camp.) After that, Mariota went to the Washington camp in Seattle, where he was formally recruited by then-UW offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier.
“He was a fantastic player in camp,” Sarkisian said. “He hadn’t started on his high school football team quite yet, so there was some hesitation on our part, quite honestly, in evaluating him.”
Indeed, Mariota didn’t start at Honolulu’s St. Louis High School until his senior season. Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, now in his first season as the successor to Chip Kelly as the UO head coach, was one of the first recruiters to discover Mariota before the quarterback’s senior season.
If you can't see that Manziel committing to UO combined with Mariota taking an unofficial to UW after camping at Oregon gave him cause to consider, all the while Sark was probably proposing to him or some shit, I can't help you.
To the extent that Oregon has top 10 talent, the TBS rankings don't bear that out. I do think that our staff is very good at identifying talent and coaching them up, but that doesn't advance your narrative, so whatever, right? UO outperformed its TBS rankings under Bellotti, under Chipper and still under Hellfinch. That data point doesn't help either, now does it?

I don't give a fuck about TBS rankings. That's like saying Mariota isn't one of the most talented QB's in the country because he was a 3 star. Freeman is as 5 star as it gets regardless of what he was ranked.
You have been a preseason top 10 team the past two years. That is more relevant to your talent than some fucking rankings of high school players. Helfrich isn't over achieving with 20-25 talent. That's a ridiculously fucking stupid comment. Same with saying ASU, a team that replaced 9 starters on defense last year having equal talent. -
I would argue that NFL alumni is a better overall gauge of the kind of talent a program has had. Again, well behind the Miamis and USCs of the world. Also, a lagging indicator.
Preseason rankings are biased and bullshit. You only know how good your team is after they've seen the field. -
Mommy knows best!

Fuck you and all who revel in the pain and displeasure of others.Dennis_DeYoung said:I'm right here. I just don't like to bash people after they do good.
I wait to kick them when they're down.
It's easier for everyone that way.
