Just Wondering

[Bigducker]

Just wondering what the knuckleheads are now thinking. Holland, Masoli, Tonio Celotto, Embry, Rivera, and I'm sure I'm missing a few, all leaving for a dumb reason or getting kicked off the team.
I know Celotto and Rivera weren't bad kids they just made some bad decisions which I know they regret and I'm sure guys like Gaines and D. Jackson are probably wishing they would have hit the books a little harder.
Those coulda, shoulda, woulda's are probably dancing in their brains. If there not, they will be.

Hope they all have a nice comfortable chair in front of their TV.

I was wondering the same thing earlier today...I used Holland as an example when i mentioned it to the wife, but the same applies to all of em...

It's a good thing for us that Gaines was so bad at school, because his domestic violence charges or whatever it was would've really hurt our national perception after everything that happened.

Guys like Holland & Embry probably hate us & think none of what they did was their fault. Thats just how those guys operate. Masoli said he still follows us & roots for us. I bet he regrets what he did every day.

I think about this more in relation to recruits that chose other teams over the ducks than I do about players who have left the program. I wonder what a guy like Ethan Grant is thinking as he spent his redshirt year not playing down in Texas, while his buddy Huff is making highlights on a National Championship run.

But this opens up a whole new debate, would we be in this position if they were with the program? These are the guys who didn't and wouldn't buy into Chips philosophy and their sh*tty attitude would've spread like a disease in the locker room. I seriously doubt JM could've led us to the NC this year. Probably a Rose Bowl, but I seriously doubt he would give our offense the balance it has with DT.

Agreed. I don't think we would be undefeated if Masoli was still our QB.

I think most would agree, Thomas has done a masterful job and he's only going to better.

Seriously when we kept losing those guys i thought it meant we wouldnt be able to do what we did the last two years...but i quickly realized i forgot we had the most important recruit still on board...10 star recruit Chip Kelly
