“It’s been fair to good (so far),” he says, “but it always comes down to the last week or the four or five guys who can make a difference, and it’s no different if you win seven games or 10 games.”

Tuinei has eligibility concerns? How great are the concerns?
Figures, just when I was starting to get excited about him too.
I just might have to legally change my name to Negative Nancy.

Re: New Portland Tribune recruiting article...
Not really much of an article. Not sure how these writers get paid to publish articles like this in a NEWSpaper when there is really no news in it.

Re: New Portland Tribune recruiting article...
Weren't some saying that this article would reveal that Gaines had committed to the Ducks?
It not only doesn't do that, but reveals yet more bad news regarding Tuinei's potential grade issues. The recruiting news, for this class at least, seems to be getting worse and worse with each passing day. Unbelievable.
If Diante Jackson doesn't at least end up at Oregon, I might go off the deep end.

Tunei now has eligibility concerns? We should have stayed away from the JC guys this year then.

Re: New Portland Tribune recruiting article...
Actually, Slammer, I would be ok with that. I have just been begging, hoping, crying out, asking Santa every year, for a REAL defense. One that pressures the QB and gets off the field on 3rd down. One that excites the crowd and makes us look forward to 3rd and long instead of dreading it.
Nothing excites me more than a big sack, on an unexpected blitz, by the Oregon defense, at a crucial juncture in the game, on 3rd down, to get the crowd going, and get the defense off the field to get the ball back for the offensive unit. 80 yard TD runs and 40 yard TD passes don't excite me as much as the great feeling of a big sack in a huge situation on defense.
I asked Santa Claus for it this last Christmas, too.

Re: New Portland Tribune recruiting article...
I don't think we'll ever have to worry about being like the Baltimore Ravens...too much talent on "O" with a genius pulling the strings and a DC who let's just say doesn't have the strongest track record

I thought Teunui was an academic qualidier out of HS like Masoli. I don't understand how he's having qualifying issues.

Where did this come from? The devil? I was talking/taking a shot at the state of OREGON's rules for JC transfers!
