I just thought this was funny. A little slice of life in Oregon. What a bunch of losers!

[RightField]

Whew ... I'm glad I read more than the title. I thought for a minute one of my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes had misbehaved. They would never do that!

Dumb beavs!

[martin_fierro]

Jimtavis Walker, ... who was expected to be the Beavers' starting tailback in the fall, and Star Paddock, a walk-on deep snapper....

Or maybe it was:

Beaver Jimtavis and Snapper Paddock, a walk-on deep walker
Jimtavis Snapper and Walker Beaver, a walk-on deep star
Walker Jimtavis and Beaver Snapper, a walk-on deep walker

So many possibilities!

What's that smell?

The Beavs used to run a squeaky-clean program. I guess this is what happens when top talent is brought in from around the country. The Ducks found that out some years ago. I remember that even Ahmad Rashad (then Bobby Moore) had a brush with the law in Eugene in 1971.

I think sports "stars" are just so used to being pampered that they think they can get away with anything.

Hopefully Mike Reilly can get a handle on things soon. I'm a Duck, born and bred, but OSU's legal problems reflect on UO, as well, in the minds of people in the east who aren't even sure where Oregon is.

My Father-In-Law, AND my Husband are both graduates of this OSU.....how times have changed!

[Arkinsaw]

Wasn't there another incident in Oregon with a football player assaulting a guy home from Iraq?

[Guillermo]

Wait, since it isn't the University of Miami, it didn't happen, or, it doesn't matter...

[alfa6]

I thought it was Oklahoma State University myself :-)

I would have thought from this behavior it was Ohio State.

[connectthedots]

It's dopers in Oregon, domestic abusers in Oklahoma and drunks in Ohio. Need to keep this straight.

[alfa6]

Good evening CTD, I will have to keep that breakdown in mind.

Have a great day

It's the new Florida State...........Dillards!

Makes room for Lumpy Rutherford.

Beaver alumnus here. Sharply worded note to Corvallis to follow. I'd rather have a losing football team - I'm used to it - than a prep-school for felons. There was a time - Dee Andros's day - when OSU boasted the highest graduation rate of any PAC-10 team and one of the highest in the nation. Now we have drunks trying to pay off a cabbie with a pot sandwich.

Pepperdine once had the guts to cancel its nationally-rated basketball program due to corruption. I'm leaning that way.

[Paulus Invictus]

They will get out of this easily, methinks, and go on playing football. It means so much to the lucrative Oregon program, ya know... Sounds a bit like the Colorado football program.

[ThreeYearLurker]

Yup, Right Here!

The Ducks have had their problems lately too. The Oregonoian had an article about a top WR recruit (Jordan Carey) who came to Oregon an honor student, but had to drop out after he became a pot addict. The way the article was written it seemed one of his teammates, hooked him up with drugs.

And then there was the case when a recruit came to UO for his official visit and asked to be paired up with Onterrio Smith. Onterrio offered him pot and a ho-bag that would sleep with the recruit. But the recruit was a devout Christian who was abhorred. Needless to say, he didn't commit.
