I heard on sports radio he is making mid 6 figures at UW now.
Edit** just read it 3 more times.

This is a HUGE double down by UW on defense. Holt was the highest paid D-cord in Pac at 600. Now they are paying D-line coachs 500 Shocked

Green with envy, I would say.

I think the Alumni and Woodward (AD) have had enough of the past decade, and they are having an "Oregon Moment". That is when Phil Knight asked Mike Belotti what it would take to build a program and the wallet was opened.

The initial change of Sark and Holt was the right move and improvements were made. Now three years later it's clear the defense is not maintaining pace so another change needed to be made. Coupled with the timing of Larry Scotts rainmaking the funds were there to do it.

I think the long term play on this is that Wilcox will jump to be a HC somewhere in the next few years and we may have promised Lupoi to be the DC "in waiting" if you will.

I was hoping Ellis McCarthy would be a possibility to head this way, but it sounds like he has already switched to UCLA....Bubb Rubbin Mora.

Now I am really confused.

I thought that UW already had a program that all others should be jealous of

If Wilcox/Sirmon/Lupoi don't make serious headway it will be FUN to watch the boards in 3 years.

Let the Cal v. UW hate grow... Eric Kiesau is leaving Cal for UW.

I hope he doesn't leave with Wilcox, but if it happens it means they were successful here and that's all I can hope for right now.

Someone on Montlake must have done a forward cash flow on the money they are putting into the "mistake by the lake" and realized they are all in anyway.

for those of you who frequent college sports message boards: oklahoma state grad student ran a survey for his thesis and posted his results. he posted the survey on okst, baylor, mizzou, texas and kansas message boards and just posted the results.

alabama is such a messed up place. 13 years for the tree killer? on a plea deal? and the dude is going to go to a jury trial? in auburn? wtf?

jt09,
Not so much for killing a tree, but more so for poisoning the soil. The amount of the chemical he used is enough to not let anything grow there for years. He's lucky it never made it to the water table.

How big is this Toomer's Corner? Couldn't they haul off the old trees and soil and replace with new trees and soil for less than $200,000? I'd fine him the cost of remediating everything, give him a couple hundred hours of community service, a year or two probation and call it good.

ohsix,
He's poor as stuff. The most expensive item he owns is his TV.

The corner isn't that big. Those trees were 130 years old, and take years to mature to decent size, so replacing them would be a lot of money, especial with trees that are mature enough. You're looking at trees that are at least 20-30 years old.

Here's a picture of the corner

Sounds like Joe Pa isn't going to make it much longer.

wow - things have been anything but settled in college station this week.

3* db kenneth marshall was supposed to graduate early and enroll for spring. not happening.

4* rd marion grice (blinn jc) decommitted.

3* dt tomme mark (uh commit) couldn't make/was uninvited to take an ov this weekend because he was arrested for felony evading arrest.

4* db colin blake decommitted and took an ov to tcu.

5* rb trey williams took an ov to arkansas. (he's been openly concerned about the coaching change since it happened)

4* db bralon addison was going to also ov to arkansas, but petrino uninvited him because he's solid to tamu and was only going to keep tabs on willaims.

3* ol michael wilson to an ov to okst, decommitted from tamu and flipped to okst.

4* db darion monroe took an ov to utah.

3* de alonzo willaims took an ov to ucla.

on the plus side, the best wr in the state (thomas johnson from skyline) just decommitted from texas in what looked like a switch to oregon, but there's a very good chance johnson ends up an aggie. he'd start/play a ton as their 3rd wr as a freshman, imo. will be a HUGE/super lucky get if they land him.

be very interesting to see what the fallout from the all the ov this weekend. losing blake and grice really hurts, imo - those are big need positions for tamu.

ohsix, the utah one was a bit of a headscratcher for me as well. especially since monroe is from louisiana and there doesn't appear to be an obvious connection. at least williams is from los angeles to ucla is the local school.

ohsix · Posted: Jan 22, 2012 12:52 pm Post subject:

jt09, I didn't know he was from LA. I barely follow recruiting at all. I just assume most of our recruits are from Texas and surrounding states.

Chip Kelly to the Tampa Bay Bucs? Might the NCAA be hot on the Ducks trail?

smells a little trojancarroll-ish, doesn't it?

@greggdoyelcbs Gregg Doyel
If Chip Kelly leaves for the Bucs, that tells me Oregon's about to get hammered by NCAA for Lache Seastrunk

Auburn picked up Scott Loeffler from temple. Interesting, but i'm open to it as he seems to be a running guy.

scott a · Ladies Man Joined: 13 Jan 2003 Posts: 9810

So.....

Oregon hires Wilcox as HC, Tosh follows

or

Oregon hires Peterson as HC, Wilcox to Boise St and Tosh follows?

Question

I am not sure Chip makes a good NFL prospect. Unless he goes to Denver and runs the option with Tebow. Laughing

This is funny, even to a Duck fan.
