What recruits did USF beat WSU for?
And I mean like legitimately beat out, not just "Rivals shows we offered this guy". I looked through their recent commit lists and the only name I recognized was Tramal Ivy, who I think we maybe offered out of high school, but he went to a JC and later signed with USF.
Pretty underwhelming hire for a team that wants to regain national power status. They would have been so dangerous with Briles - imagine him with Oregon resouces - but he was radioactive.
Is it possible that he was referring back to Taggert's days at Stanford?
He would have been recruiting against Wulff at that time, so that information would be pretty irrelevant.
Who remember's these names?

Nope. Don't you dare Google or Wikipedia this:Not sure about the names above, but wasn't "Taggart" the name of the guy in Blazing Saddles played by Slim Pickins?
Glad Cougar
Yeah he was Billy Rosewood's partner.Nope. Don't you dare Google or Wikipedia this:
This film was the highest-grossing film of 1984 in the U.S.
Anyone remember Taggart in the 1984 Movie?
Haha!! They fell for the banana in the tail pipe.Who remember's these names?

Agreed on Briles.Yeah he was Billy Rosewood's partner.
(And Briles is a disgusting human being.)
I hope our fans can find it in themselves to apply the same scrutiny to their own players / coaches / adjacents that they apply to those outside the team. As someone with stakes in a few teams, it's both predictable and alarming how the reaction across teams goes from innocent until proven guilty ("us"), to guilty until proven innocent ("them"). I'd like to think Cougs are different.Agreed on Briles.
Agreed on Briles.
And I was just watching this movie(s) yesterday! #1 and #2 were the best. I actually think I'd lean a bit to #2 being better but man... good stuff.
seriously? why don't you reopen the Reggie Bush "scandal" (with his step-pop with the "Soulglo") and see what happens? Coug fans = typical fans = all of usI hope our fans can find it in themselves to apply the same scrutiny to their own players / coaches / adjacents that they apply to those outside the team.

What? Art Briles was told by a coach for female sports, that a player/student was gang raped by 5 football players. Not only was the AD informed of this incident but so was Briles. By Federal Law he was required to report this to the schools Judiciary Committee. He did not. This incident occured in 2013. Throughout the last 2-3 years, he could, at any time, have reported it. He did not. And when scrutiny came about, he is blaming the school for not being more "on top" of it.I hope our fans can find it in themselves to apply the same scrutiny to their own players / coaches / adjacents that they apply to those outside the team.

Herpes simplex 10.Who remember's these names?

At The Harrow Club. Watched it again last night. Timeless classic.Herpes simplex 10.
...before things start fallin' off on the man.Herpes simplex 10.
There have been a few. let s see the last one was Darnell Solomon WR who had problems but the cougs went after really hard. I am too lazy to do any research but suffice to say there were others.
Oregon is a unique position, in that the coach has to pass muster under the watchful eye of Uncle Phil while, at the same time, be his own man. When one man so dominates a university like this (not sure if Okie State is a good comparison or not with Pickens), it can become like a coach trying "to get out from under" the long shadow of Al Davis at Oakland or something. Maybe Knight just meets with him, gives him a list of his expectations and leaves him alone...but I doubt it's that simpleYou wanted a name and i gave you one as he signed in December. Recruiting moves so fast and the names keep changing . I do not keep a scorecard. Suffice to say that all the coaches had an equal chance with the guy in the same amount of time. The new Oregon coach is known as a great recruiter and he will beat leach out on a few more recruits. Leach will get more than his share,that is the way recruiting works. But Oregon has hired a great recruiter and a good coach.

1. It's not an analogy.What? Art Briles was told by a coach for female sports, that a player/student was gang raped by 5 football players. Not only was the AD informed of this incident but so was Briles. By Federal Law he was required to report this to the schools Judiciary Committee. He did not. This incident occured in 2013. Throughout the last 2-3 years, he could, at any time, have reported it. He did not. And when scrutiny came about, he is blaming the school for not being more "on top" of it.
This school has had 17 women come forward since 2011 with allegations of assault or rape both single and gang rapes. Of these 17 women, 19 football players have been alleged to be involved.
These are facts. I'm not saying all the allegations are true or not. But I do know that when it comes to rape, there is a very fine line and when it comes to rape, I will always hedge towards to women. Will I await to see if the allegations are true before I point my finger to "guilty"? Hell yeah. Regardless of the allegations being true or not, how this has been handled by Briles is disgusting. That is MY only point. This isn't a punch in the nose, as your analogy seems to be going towards. This isn't, "HE STOLE MY BEER!!!!!!!" kind of theft. This is RAPE, son! And that should be handled aggressively and strongly. If for anything, the victim (and I use that word precisely. If it is a false accusation, the football player would be the "victim" and needs to be cleared). But this stuff needs to be taken seriously, not swept under the rug and dealt with quietly. I have a person very, very close to me that was raped. She never pressed charges, she never went public about it. Too much shame. No question, she is a different person that what she might have been. This stuff affects a person their whole lives.
Horrible analogy and if you can't see the difference in perception (EDIT: AND affect to the victim) between starting a fight (in whatever fashion you wish to describe that by) and rape/gang rape... you need severe help. And as far as "innocent until proven guilty", I'm pointing towards the coach not the individuals involved in each altercation. He should have been the LEADER on this. The excuse of, "I thought so-and-so was handling this!" is BS. He should have been point-man on this, IMHO. And to me, that shows his indifference on the subject of his kids, those he says are like his own kids, raping and gang raping young women for fun. That concept literally makes me sick. He needed to be a man, not a jelly fish.
