Moss you need to go back to campus soon...the quality of female coed there has improved 1000%....Oregon has rapidly become the ASU for dumb, hot NorCal girls who can't get into any UC schools (much like most ASU girls are Southern California girls who don't get into any UCs or USC).

just sit across from the bookstore and ogle...

Hell, this was pretty much the case when I was there in the 90'sntxduck said:

Maybe, but Oregon isn't Bammer, Nebraska, State Penn etc., and they aren't going to develop into FSU or Miami. It's still not a destination job. They kind of lucked out on Chimp (IDK, maybe Bellotti saw something with him, which would mean maybe it wasn't so much luck). The point is, they've peaked.creepycoug said:

What I meant was if you have a bad ass freshman or soph then you weren't getting another bad ass at that position until the one you have is a senior. Eugene fucking sucks. It's nice to visit, but as a college kid you want weed, women, and weather. UO has the weed, but the girls are lacking in mass and the weather is shit.
Ernie would go out and sign a great class once every cycle and when they were juniors and seniors they'd be one of the better teams in the nation. Even when he was fired he had an extremely talented group that were all going to be juniors the next year.
Now you get a guy like Dana Altman who much like Chip Kelly plays almost every fucking kid on the roster with a scholarship. You can recruit all kinds of depth if they're going to play in every game right away or after a redshirt. The one thing about playing a ton of kids is you have to be a ridiculously good coach. The coach has to have control of every detail, no exception, and everyone has to be bought in.
What I saw from Slingblade was a lack of consistency in all areas and the significant drop off in play from the depth. That shit never happened under Chip. Oregon is at a cross road. They can keep a guy trying to be Chip and recruit a bunch of talent and play them a ton, poorly which will result is fades and face plants. Or, they can hire another traditional style coach who will have great starters with mediocre depth and just get physically beaten two or three times a year on average.
Location, location, location; Eugene is a shitty one for just about everything when it comes to recruit appeal and proximity. Jamaican Rosewood and Xbox's won't change that.
Apparently, none of you have been to:
Norman Oklahoma, Happy Valley, PA, Syracuse, NY, Tuscaloosa, AL, College Station, TX, Tallahassee, FL, any place in Kentucky, any place in Arkansas, Lincoln, Nebraska, Manhattan, KS, any place else in the midwest not in the city of Chicago.
I could go on and on. If there had been a different outcome in this state's history, and the UW had been sited in Olympia and the capital up on homo hill, there would be no difference in Washington's football history. If that same program had gone on runs like Oklahoma has, it would matter not that it was located in Olympia.
Olympia is Eugene. I've been to both on several occasions. They are the same place save for the UofO and a Federal Courthouse located in one and not the other. Besides that, they are the same place.
Are they dumps? No. Hoquiam, WA is a dump. Are either a thriving sophisticated metropolis? No. Does it matter? No.
So much "theory" is wasted here on that variable.
You need a AD that cares, some money to spend, and a fucking coach. The rest follows. It helps if your talent is in your backyard, but you can overcome that too. Too many programs have to list here. -
It's still not ASU or UA. The women still want weather if possible. What I'm getting at is it's about the coach. The same fuck heads in Tucson tell me they don't have the right conditions to get football recruits as the basketball program recruits toe-to-toe with Duke, UNC, KU, and UK. How can you attract the top blick kids in one sport and not the other? It's because Lute was one of the best coaches ever and Miller can recruit well enough to make up for being a mediocre coach.ntxduck said:Moss you need to go back to campus soon...the quality of female coed there has improved 1000%....Oregon has rapidly become the ASU for dumb, hot NorCal girls who can't get into any UC schools (much like most ASU girls are Southern California girls who don't get into any UCs or USC).
I go to Eugene all the time and I'm in Phoenix and Tucson all the time. I'm glad I was a Wildcat, I'll leave iit at that.

your response could have been made this short: "yeah, but still."
those schools, even the Floridas, suck when their coaches suck. look at Miami. boat raced in the worst possible way by a program that would not finish in the top 1/2 of this conference. and Miami has every recruiting advantage USC has. frankly, Miami isn't a "destination job" either. they're just luck to be where they are.
so, the "it's not a destination job," or "yeah, but Oregon isn't ________," lines are just a knee jerk responses for people who have trouble generating original work on their own. all caps so you can read it: NORMAN FUCKING OKLAHOMA!!!!!!!!!!
Washington wasn't, and isn't, a destination job either. the fact that it's in Seattle is of no relevance because the PNW is one of the weaker recruiting regions in the country. there are a lot of bigger cities in the mid atlantic and northeast ... please list for me all the power house programs sited in Boston, Philly, New York and New Jersey.

yes, exactly.
as to Oregon peaking, I guess we'll see. they sleep walked over Tejas, IN Tejas, yesterday in front of a packed house and a whole lotta Tejas recruits saw the game.
