    Except he would still have to live in Eugene for 3 years.

    Seattle is Eugene with bigger buildings and more traffic. They are both horrible places to live and skid marks to their respective states. At least in eugene they are kind enough to pump your gas for you
    Big press there green. Big press.
    They created "indigenous peoples day". Do we really need to go further?

    Unless you are from the PNW, Seattle = Alaska. The idea that Seattle is a positive for recruiting is one of the most inaccurate myths the doogs have perpetuated over the years.

    This. I can at least speak for Texas when I say that the Pacific Northwest is a myth there. The only reason I knew where UW was was because I had an uncle that worked for Microsoft. When I was home in Houston and told people where I was attending college they always replied how much they loved St Louis. This was '99-'03 and we were winning Rose Bowls.

    I actually don't entirely disagree. I think the Cali kids can get their heads around it but I'm sure a good % of the Texas and Florida kids cannot.

    One thing to go from Tampa to LA and play for an iconic program. Quite another to come up to dreary seattle. The "quality of life" shit plays with 25 year old computer science types but not elite fb recruits. Generalizing of course but I think something's there.
