Watching the Oregon game, and makes me say, if i were Dooley.

[tvolsfan]

We've gotten higher rated recruits 4 out of the last 5 classess.

Oregon is winning by evaluating and developing 3 star guys and having their 4 star guys deliver.

Yeah, that must be it. It's probably not a system that's just exposing weak defenses. It must just be that Chip Kelly is a genius while coaches like Urban Meyer that have actually won championships can't evaluate talent.

We kind of undo that ourselves.

Me saying Oregon is winning by evaluating and developing three stars and delivering on its four stars does not imply in any shape, form or fashion that I said Meyer can't evaluate talent. Its complete straw man fallacy and absolutely inaccurate to suggest I implied anything close to that.

And systems don't win games in and of themselves. The point of every offense is to expose a weak defense. The Spread formation is a good system, its not magic. Regardless of system, it takes good players to consistently beat good teams. A system won't do that in an of itself. Otherwise, every team that ran the traditional Option in the 70's, 80's and 90's would have been as good as Nebraska.

Oregon has had good players over the past 5 years. They have come from the 3 and 4 star ranks. Costa was a three star, Kenny Rowe and La Micheal James were 4 stars, over 80% of their O-line weres 3 stars. Read through their recruit list. Still, they have performed at a level over the past 5 years maybe 5 teams in the country can match.

They won the rose bowl, they're going again. (At least) they slaughtered us. They've got fun uniforms. They're facilities are an upgrade from ours. What are we gonna lure them with?

They lost the rose bowl... And they're gonna go nat champ, they are just that good this year. Still love my Vols though.

 

[DuckinTN]

Yea, the score was misleading. Ohio State won easily. But, you guys are clearly better this year. The offense simply looks unstoppable.

Thanks man. It's definitely been a very fun ride so far.

 

[DuckinTN]

A culture permissive of continual criminal misdemeanors, minor felonies and a slap on the wrist for choking a woman.

Oh wait. They already have that too.

Man, we don't have anything to offer. Other than letting the recruits steal as many laptops as they want.

It's quite obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[bUTrosbUTrosVOLie]

Since everybody here KNOWS why kids sign at certain schools (all I have is an opinion)....let's just wait about 5-10 years and see where we all stand then. We've got time.

 

[Mason72]

they are awesome no doubt... But it is a run that will not last... I dont think they could run the SEC and stay undefeated.. They do wear an opposing team out though... I get tired watching them can only imagine what it is like trying to chase them everywhere...lol

How so?

UT and Oregon both had a lot of embarrasing incidents over the past five years. The same can be said of most of the SEC East.

In spite of coaches saying it will change, year and year out players get entangledublic, embarrasing assualts.

Including one where an Oregon player choked his girlfried and is still playing. Masoli is no longer with the team because of a laptop theft. LaMichael James received probation after pleading guilty to assualt and was suspended against New Mexico only.

So tell me, how do I have no idea what I'm talking about?

Lamichael james ex girlfriend tried to break into his house while he was with his new girlfriend. She also tried to harm LMJs new gf. his ex gf also took his keys and tried to take his car, so Lamichael grabbed her and threw her down.

thats the true story. thats why he didnt get a severe punishment by the court or chip kelly,

What would you guys do if this happened to you?

No, that's not the true story.

Yes, she went to his house and confronted his new girlfriend. In contrast with your statement, James was not there at the time she showed up. Also in contrast with your statement, the DA report does not implicate her in any sort of break in and neither did James.

The current girlfriend called James, and he drove up. He physically grabbed her in front of the dorm, not in it. AFTER he grabbed her, she grabbed his necklace. It broke in the struggle. James retaliated by shoving her into his car.

She didn't try to take the car keys until he shoved her against his car by "grabbing her collar." This was the infamous choke.

She got loose, escaped to the car, which still had its keys in it and grabbed them and ran from him. Its unclear why she grabbed the keys one could speculate that she was trying to drive away because she was scared, or that she was being vindictive.

Once James had shoved her against the car, any speculating regarding her behavior is attempting to read the mind of someone in a state of fear in an emotionally charged event, and is largely fruitless. What is clear is based upon the DA report, she didn't do anything with the car or keys until James had slammed her against it while holding her neck area, again, in contrast to your statement.

James ran her down and grabbed her again. He took the keys from her after she fell to the ground.

James statement about the incident is as follows:

"I apologize to Heidi both for the incident and everything she has had to go through since it happened," James wrote in a letter March 9, released along with court documents March 12 after his change of plea and sentencing.

"I accept responsibility for my actions," James wrote. "I am also sorry that she has been treated by some people as though she deserved blame for this.] She does not. I ask people to treat her with respect. She has not done anything wrong."

James plead guilty to harrasment. He got 10 days in jail. He didn't serve it because of overcrowding.

What James should have done is call the cops when the girlfriend was in front of the dorm not leaving. He was wrong the moment he grabbed her. My guess is he

I don't think what he did is nearly close to Rainey at Florida, but he was still way, way, way out of line for putting his hands on her under the circumstances. To his credit, he has admitted that and isn't putting any of the blame on the victim, unlike your post implicating the ex-girlfriend as being responsible for the whole situation.

Yes, she was being a drama queen. That doesn't mean she deserved to get grabbed and physically intimidated by James. Hence the plea down from assualt to harrassment. James did assualt her. He plead down to harrassment by admitting guilt. I have no problem with that, and the system should work that way when the perputrator is cooperative.

However, I am concerned something similar could happen again. That's a comment on the statitics, not on James as a person. Once someone breaks the barrier of laying hands on a woman, regardless of circumstances, that behavior econtinues to escalate over time. I hope it never happens again, and he has a great career and life and this is a mistake in his past.

Oregon's offense is fast, and high scoring. But to me it is terribly boring. It's all zone read, with some zone read pass plays. They have other stuff too, but alot of zone read. Just like Florida with Tebow. Terrible to watch IMO.
