It was four recruits: Armstead Thompson Bryan Harper Bralon Addison Not four Sacramento recruits, and not all in one night. Harper was supposed to be yesterday and Addison was supposed to be last night, but they both were rescheduled. Ed O.
PapaG, last night you "reported" Chip was "on the road" and recruiting. I don't believe this was accurate. Several sources reported that Kelly had canceled a recruiting trip to Sacramento - LA Times (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/spo...s-down-tampa-bay-buccaneers-coaching-job.html) Chip Kelly did cancel Sacramento-area recruiting trips - Josh Ward, MrSEC Writer https://twitter.com/Josh_Ward It's also interesting that you were claiming your source was saying Chip wasn't leaving, when "Just after midnight Monday morning, a high ranking UO official was told by Chip Kelly that he had changed his mind about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers job offer and that he would instead stay in Eugene. The update comes less than an hour after the same high ranking UO official confirmed that Kelly was leaving Oregon." http://www.examiner.com/oregon-ducks-football-in-portland/chip-kelly-changes-mind-i-m-staying You took a lucky guess. You were 50/50 for the evening and got one guess correct - good job. My hat is off to you. Now you can gloat for a while, call everyone f*idiots, mock their friends and sources (who have been important donors since the 60's - who helped build the program you now enjoy by putting in their time and money way) and basically lower the value of the board. But, congrats! It's interesting when most on this board were saying LMJ was done for the year, had a potentially career ending injury - I was calling for calm and saying it was probably just another dislocation. When I got word through a source that came directly from his trainer (not public) and sent it to trustworthy posters here via PM, I didn't rub it in peoples faces. Why? Because I'm confident in my friends and confident with myself. I don't need to act classless. Last night I did feel Chip was acting like a whore - not just leaving a great position, just for the money, but reportedly planning to poach our long term staff that are like family on that sideline and in our Duck community. I don't know how long you've been a Duck, but for someone like me who is going on 30+ years as a fan, has spent time with all our staff and is a DAF donor and member, that doesn't sit well. Not at all. Look at the formal definition of a whore - it isn't simply a hooker. We are all whores from time to time. Regardless, I am man enough to say it probably wasn't the 'right' word to use. What I find amusing is that you are claiming your "source" knew something that reportedly, Chip didn't even know. It's rather pathetic. Most of us think your "source" is based on guessing and copying other internet posters. LOL. Now you're claiming I tried to get you banned, which was never true. You were claiming Chip was on the road, which wasn't true. So, actually, you were only 33% for the evening. You are wrong, a lot, and you treat people like crap. I hope whatever you're struggling with and through, you are able to resolve. I mean that.
BTW, FWIW - the group I chat with are happy he's 'back' but disappointed with how this was all handled. They are expecting some recruiting fallout.
No. PM me. My connections are better. (I'm going to start several new threads to prove my point, lol)
