personally i dont think kiffin will put up with butler IMO. thats if butler comes

As long as it is clamped hard enough, I don't care.

I think the staff will make the right decision on this, and if they see it as a problem they will walk.

I just don't think that the attitude we want to instill right now would be benefited by signing this guy. I think we need to cut ties with both the Oku/Brown circus and save the scholarships for the next couple of years.

Dixon got exposure as soon as he started performing at a high level. Most believe that Chip Kelly was behind turning his career around for his senior season. The Beavers (and running back Rodgers) got a lot of coverage after upsetting USC. All the way up to the game where they got smoked by the Ducks.

I think the perception of exposure depends on where you're at. At least, it appears that the major networks believe a lot of people want to watch the Ducks these days:

Your back :realmad:

Shut it, Duck. We are trying to have a meaningful conversation on the ethics of being involved with your kid's college choice here.

And I'm glad that that decision is in the hands of the coaches and not the fans of the institution.

I promise you, as a caring parent I will be VERY involved with my kid's decision on what college to attend. Parents will approach that decision differently, but it doesn't speak to a failure in raising a child to advise them or to be involved closely on a college decision when you are talking about a 16 or 17 year-old kid.

It just kind of shows a controlling attitude by parents, IMO. Your way isn't mine or vise versa. We may not agree on how to do it, but the one thing that we can agree on outside of differences related to this thread, is the wanting of success for our children.

As do I, but those choices will effect their perception later on if the right choice wasn't made. I want playmakers on the field, but at what cost??

I would hope that I had enough of a positive influence on my child's life that she would want my input and seek out my advice on her college decision. And if not, she's getting it anyway. Of course her opinion is paramount, but there is nothing wrong with providing guidance.

I have kids too.

I wouldn't over-ride my kids choice. But, I would hope to have established at least a 15 cent contribution to the decision by that time.

That's why it's their decision to make and not ours. Their jobs are the ones on the line.

This is what I'm saying. Welcome to the conversation.

Seeking advice and getting involved when they want to make their own decision are different. If mine asks, I will give my opinion. If not, when her decision is made I will tell her I love her and will let her start her life.

Wow. I just don't get that. A parent is a valuable resource for a teenage kid trying to make a difficult decision on their future. I wouldn't be overbearing, but my voice WILL be heard.

We are, that's for sure. I just believe in letting my child make decisions, for better and worse, when she hits that age. We can't protect them anymore at that age (I think it's even earlier that that personally), so I just want her to be happy. When they get that age, girls in particular, trying to get involved with their decision making when they don't ask is a big no-no situation. They will rebel and then do whatever they can to make you miserable until they realize you were right. Sometimes realizing that takes years, which sucks.

I remember being 17. That age where a kid no longer needs guidance from their parents is not 17.

That is true, but most kids have to realize that for themselves. I did. I still ask my parents for advice. That advice may or may not affect my decision though.

And mine still give it whether I ask for it or not.

At least we are amusing the masses.

Your savior is about to come on the Animal. :wink:
