Quote from Dennis Dodd (March 9th)...

"A best guess is that Bryce has narrowed his choices to Oregon and Tennessee. Based on conversations I've had, the kid is very interested in how he will be promoted. Oregon has at its disposal the Nike marketing machine. That's not to say the kid would be hidden playing in the SEC at Tennessee (on CBS).

Oregon can further sell the nation's No. 2 rushing offense and a somewhat stable quarterback situation. Tennessee can sell the charismatic Lane Kiffin, his superstar staff and a program about to take off."

Worried about how he will be promoted is all I need to hear.

If being promoted is his primary concern then he should have went to USC.
JD Booty being metioned for the heisman or Joe McKnight being touted the next Reggie Bush immediately come to mind. You don't even have to do be that good to receive the hype.
And besides Dixon who the hell at Oregon has ever gotten a bunch of publicity? I realize they have had good players but they pretty much fly under the radar.

Dodd actually cut the full quote short. The full version is:

quote:

Oregon can further sell the nation's No. 2 rushing offense and a somewhat stable quarterback situation. Tennessee can sell the charismatic Lane Kiffin, his superstar staff and a program about to take off their shirts."

FWIW, Dennis Dodd is an absolute fecking MORON.

I mean BAADDDDD.

Dude is EASILY the worst sportswriter in the entire business. He lives to wrile his readers up.

Not saying this story is BS, but I've come to not believe a word this toolbag says.

The only thing the "charismatic Lane Kiffen" is going to do is lead TN into probation. His douchebaggery has already P-Oed the SEC coaching ranks and so he and his program have a big target on their back.

If this were true, I could see how he would consider Oregon because of their marketing, but why Tenn? They couldn't even get Peyton Manning the Heisman when he clearly deserved it.

If he wants publicity, I don't know why he's down to Oregon, Tenn. and LSU. He sould be looking at USC, Ohio State, Texas and Florida.

If true, we definitely don't need this head case.
