Schmick is now an Oregon state senator

Why you no sign instate players?

Oregon's best HS senior (Cameron Scarlett) actually has a few functioning brain cells and decided he would like to get an education while still playing for a top level (i.e. Nike sponsored) University.

Only after he was told... he would be 5th string if he went to Cal... by his big brother.

Could be he wants a chance to play in a bowl game.

I will say, this year's crop of HS seniors was particularly weak.

But just like the tech industry and several others, my state has a knack for attracting the best talent from around the globe, and football is no different.

Frankly I am a little surprised that Oregon isn't producing more HS talent. The Ducks have been above average for some time now and their offense is at the cutting edge of a few trends.

I am guessing that the Duck coaching staff holds clinics for the HS coaches in the state and is available to help them understand the offense the Ducks run.


Then again I didn't grow up in the area so maybe wrestling or bowling is where the HS kids spend their time.

Unfortunately, there's a shred of truth here.

MLS is loaded with Oregon boys. Plenty of MLB players, too. And track... forgetaboutit -- the all-time god of the decathlon is a Portland boy.

And I'm pretty sure Helfie (at least he's an Oregon boy) does clinics. I know Chip did, since my buddy went to a couple of them.

The state of Michigan is pretty much dog shit when it comes to producing elite football talent. Basketball? Have it in spades.

The Ducks...offense is at the cutting edge of a few trends.

Yep, they always look good right up until they play a real football team.

Like Michigan State? Or Stanford? Or FSU?

Or are they not "real" teams?

B1G, PAC12, ACC...

Nope. No real (SEC) teams there.

[Killian]

Oregon always stumbles against the SEC and/or SEC type defenses.

Gold, Jerry! Gold!



They had an off game against OSU. Shit happens. They fucking worked the defending NC winner, fucking worked Stanford, and fucking worked MSU this year. Add in 'Zona who was top 10 at the time and Utah (17), and that's two other teams they fucking worked. They scored less than 40 points 3 times this year.

In 2013 they fucking worked [sec!sec!sec!]Tennessee[/sec!sec!sec!].

by his big brother.

...who will be playing for Stanford this year.
