    The biggest issue on Stewart I'm told, one that caused the Dawgs not to pursue him, was his self-admitted mental issues. I have absolutely no idea what these issues are, but I certainly hope he can pull himself together and start to play somewhere close to his potential for the Ducks. 

     

    Sorry to be a bit of a Debbie Downer here, but one should not always rely on high school recruiting rankings as a predictor of success for a third-year college player. 

     

     

     

    Duck lovin' is the healing power that this young man is looking for.

         Nick, welcome to the shadow world of John Wooden!

     

    Gene Bartow followed Wooden, went 52-9 over two seasons, and was gone. 

     

    Still, Bartow paid the Oregon Duck fans one of the greatest compliments in Duck fan history when he called us "Deranged Idiots." That was a total hit and we proudly wore that moniker.

  3. I owe a shout-out to "CountryProf" who simply, and yet kindly, schooled me last night and gave me a good ol fashioned learnin. 

     

    At best, I was a big time doubter last night. But CountryProf 100% called it right. 

     

    Well done, and well played, Dr. CountryProf!

    I've had a PhD in clinical psychology for 20 years. I've seen a lot of clients and supervised a lot of therapists. I'm in a better position than most to gauge genuineness when I have enough data. I've been wrong before, and I will be wrong again. I don't think I'm wrong this time. And I don't engage in silly talk

    Of course, he is on the list. He had success at Bama which led to his being hired by Smart at Georgia. The guy knows his way around the SEC and would come without all of the Kiffen quirks. Bama is one of CFB's top 6 jobs - Bama, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Michigan.  Bama has the 2nd most wins in CFB history and by far, the most championships. The recruiting territory is the best. 100,000 plus fans for every home game. Outstanding facilities. 

    Ummm... thus the reason for my counter comment.

    After all Lanning has said about staying put in Oregon, and the genuineness I seen in him and so many players have commented on, I don't think he'll take the Alabama job if offered. Maybe I'm naive, but in this case I choose to believe.

     

    Please remember, this was the same kind of silly talk that so many Duck fans had when the Taggert & Cristobol ended up on the proverbial short list.
