DucksflyinPAC, you sound like a defense attorney. You seem more concerned with getting Harris off than doing what's right. You go straight into the least worrying part of this (the speeding) and express with utter indignation how appalling it would be to lose a player over a traffic violation while conveniently ignoring the other facts.

Harris had a suspended license for not showing up at a court date for a previous violation. He also didn't show up for court on a charge of possessing alcohol as a minor. While his license was suspended he got stopped for going 53 mph over the speed limit in a car he had no business driving. This combined with the previous offenses constitutes a disregard for authority that has to be addressed to maintain order on your team. And yet somehow you feel he should not miss a game. Clearly if anyone is overly concerned about Harris playing or not playing in this game it's you. Frankly, if missing a single player other than your quarterback has a significant effect on the outcome of this game, then Oregon is not the team everyone believes it to be.

You are either just trolling, or you are a ridiculous homer.



EDT: BTW, thanks bisonduck for being sane.

That should be "read" and "too".

No!

You don't say!



The only reason I went to the grammar card is beacuse you're reading comprehension was also lacking.

quote:

And with me posting the PAC wins. Well, I was just proving one can easily post some wins, no big deal. Someone can even go back to 1929 and try to built a point. But then one can stick with the present and make a point too. I was just proving "team SEC" is not as invincible as people in the South like to believe
.

If that was the point you were trying to make, why did you say...?

"Each time we beat a SEC team they always have the same excuses and they get real old."

Because that is the statement I was clearly responding to. And you were way off.

If you want to take credit for other Pac teams' wins vs the SEC, fine, I'll just hang my hat on LSU's 5-0 record vs Pac teams since 2003.

And I'll say this, if you want to talk about fan bases coming up with retarded excuses, talk to fans of OSU, ASU and UW. The only ones who didn't offer up excuses were UA fans - whose teams were outscored by a combined 104-16.

As far as going back to 1929, or sticking with the present to make a point, I'll bite.

Since 1929, LSU has a .812 win% vs Pac teams (13-3), but just staying in the present that increases to a 1.00 win% (5-0).

See my point?

Harris will get suspended. End of story. Nothing else here besides a dumb kid that needs a punishment.


I agree with this, and will add that the officer is in line for a reprimand, and the university employee will need to find a new job.

Regardless of the fact that the streets were empty, How does aan induvidual drive over 100 MPH and it is not considered reckless. Answer that until then SHUT UP.
I don't know. Why don't you ask any resident in Germany who see up to near 200 mph all the time on the no speed autobahns. Or if you hate Germany, call up any longtime Montana guy and ask him. I was born and raised there and am related to half the state(joking)almost. They never had a problem with going super high speeds when their was no speed limit there.

[quote]On a side note how did he know the streets were empty? Did he call a local Traffic TV person? Did he call the local PD? 100 MPH is reckless. Him not knowing if a car is arround each curve makes it more reckless.

You are speaking about which you do not know. On this 3 lane Freeway stretch it is completely straight. Further, the police even admitted the freeway at that area had hardly any vehicles on it. Gee, I wonder if 4am had anything to do with it.

quote:

We condone speeders.

I saw the movie Smokey and the Bandit. And in that movie the LA police where the anal ones who had the speed traps and such. Yes, I figure your state does not condone(you meant to say, "not condone" speeders. Sorry, but out West where there is little population and straight stretches of roads people see things differently. If you do not like this, do not move here. If you do not like that the whole Country of Germany has no speed limit, do not move there. Their driving at whatever speeds may upset you. If you hate the fact that Montana for the longest time did not have a speed limit as well, then cover your ears. And if you desire not to know Montana is still very relaxed when it comes to speeding, then do not visit there. They will not miss your money.

quote:

Really as long as he plays on Saturdays in your eyes he could be a serial killer.

Not hardly as their would then be an actual victim. Seeing how Cliffy did not have an actual victim I see no reason why he should not be able to play.

quote:

Driving at a speed of 100 MPH is reckless.

Then Sir, do not vacation in Germany. They can go 200MPH, double your personal limit. And by visiting Germany you might be troubled with what you see there.

If you knew anything about Oregon, which obviously you do not, he was stopped a few miles from the home of the Oregon State Beavers. And many cops go to OSU for their education.


Are there no Oregon grads on the police force? No Oregon grads became a cop and live in the vicinity of OSU? First, how do you know this? Link to your evidence or blow me. Second, I think I know why OSU fans hate little frickheads like you. Is becoming a police officer below an Oregon grad? It sounds like that's what you are implying.

quote:

So they get worse treatment, not preferred treatment. And if the cop had known,(which he did not) odds are he would of been a beaver fan and went extra hard on him just for that.


You do know that (your statement) would be tantamount to a violation of Harris' due process? And we are the corrupt ones?

quote:

This is not the deep South with all its corruptions and protections and good old boy club. Over here they would love nothing better to do then arrest UO football players because then they get on TV when they do so.


So...LA is corrupt b/c we are in the deep South. But Oregon isn't corrupt even though your police force arrests people simply b/c they do not like the school they attended and they want to get on TV (and get famous). Violating someone's Due Process does not equate to corruption in your part of the woods? Is that what you are saying? Don't answer that...JavaScript:AddSmileyIcon('%20 ')

quote:

Any other assumptions you want to throw out there? I can do this all day long. Dispelling lies from SEC fans is very easy to do.

No, you're doing a great job all by yourself. Keep it up, Killer, your logic is killing us!

I hate to bring it up, because I am sure your logic just went over my head, but I thought it was funny that you put down LA with your cliched statement
quote:

This is not the deep South with all its corruptions and protections and good old boy club. Over here they would love nothing better to do then arrest UO football players because then they get on TV when they do so
. Okay, so you think the South is corrupt and he would have been let go just b/c he is a football player. But then, you said:
quote:

But had he done so, he probably would of made a bigger issue of it because the cops around over here know how famous the Ducks(as a team) are and if they arrest one, they get to be on TV and get all the media attention. So they get worse treatment, not preferred treatment. And if the cop had known,(which he did not) odds are he would of been a beaver fan and went extra hard on him just for that.


So logically speaking, since you are so good at it and all, Harris would get off down here simply b/c he was a football player (and that makes our cops corrupt). But in your part of the world, the cops would arrest a football player simply b/c he is a football player even though they would not arrest a non-football player for the exact same violation. Further, your cops arrest someone that violates the law simply b/c he is a Duck. In my lowly opinion, your cops are the corrupt mother frickers.

Finally, this is a message board, Killer. Everyone makes assumptions & presumptions - that is why we are on here. If we knew all of the facts, we wouldn't need to be on here looking for them. So take your self-rightous post and shove it up your arse! Your post is filled w/ nothing but presumptions. Go to the Oregon board and try to prove your mental prowess to someone who gives a shite. You are a mental midget and I hope those corrupt Oregon cops arrest you!

BTW, are you taking a logic class? LOGIC FAIL!

How can a cop, who stops a car doing 100+ mph, and a driver with a suspended license, let that person go with just a ticket.....

Easy answer: Its Oregon buddy. This wonderful country of ours is made up of States. And each state gets to set its own laws.


quote:

I think the cop is obviously a fan who bent the law and his duties to give the players a break that the normal public would NOT have received.


One has to love the South and their assumptions games. I feel bad for you that you are in the SEC where you have to deal with massive Corruption on every level and as a result your brain assumes all deal in it too. Come out to Oregon, then talk. Or call some Police departments from your house. You do have a phone right? Ask them how it is over here and our laws. The fact that another passenger was a licensed driver allowed the cop to send him on his way. This is common. I feel bad that you have to live in LA and deal with Anal cops and stupid laws.

First, Smokey and the Bandit was a fictional movie. Now, if we are going to argue with you, please only use real people and real facts as support for your arguments. We have no chance of winning if you can just start using fake arse movies to support your evidence. Once again, killer, your blowing us away.

So you think a person driving 53 miles per hour over the speed limit is OK? What other rules/laws will you allow "Cliffy" to break???

OU fb players arent treated as well as the rest of the population but you are overlooking all the benefits they get from nike. I would be willing to bet that Oregon players have alot more Nike apparel than most cfb players and I doubt they paid for it also.

I did not know Oklahoma was Nike's baby. Hmmmm.
But for Oregon, I was just referring to that Football is not God out here. Most players the public does not even know who they are by face and much by name. Even with Masoli. When a UO student called 911, (in the same UO college town) the operator has never heard of that name, lol. Football is not anything out West and I have never denied it. Not even remotely close to the South. That fact however does not mean a Western Team cannot field a better team then a SEC team. It has happened many times. The people here are way more into nature/mountain things.

As far as Nike you are right. They have tons more apparel then any other team. Why is because it is a team outfit, and totally legal. Even more UO players get to test out all the new products 2-3 years before other teams get to even see them. That is why we have all the coolest gear and fresh designs. But Nike or Uncle Phil never gives any money to players. He only has a fetish for building new fancy buildings around the campus, some of them athletic ones. Go figure we are said to have the flashiest. A former Oregon Alum made it rich while starting a sports company while a track athlete. Shame on him for wanting to give back. If you do not like Phil Knight and or Nike(an Oregon company not far from UO) spoiling UO with styling stuff, then don't buy Nike. I could give a shite. The NCAA has known all this for years and nothing is illegal. We don't however pay out players, as that would be a SEC thing.

Three questions... Was he driving with a suspended drivers license? YES Was he driving over 100 miles an hour? YES Did he endanger anyone else on the highway? YES There were three other people in the car. Enough Said. See you guys in Dallas.

HAHAHA, you stupid frick, I made fun of you for doing it to someone who misspelled a word (condone, I think). I made that clear before I made fun of you. After all of that shite, that's all you have. You are just some little shite head w/ nothing better to do. You are literally the dumbest person I have heard speak (type) since Sarah Palin. That makes sense, she is from your neck of the woods.

Actually that would be one team, USC. And USC(not Oregon btw) had a player(Bush) get paid by a NFL agent to LEAVE USC, not join USC. Major big difference. He never got paid by the school to come there, but yes his family did get paid by a NFL agent in the form of a future loan. Not saying that is right, but getting paid by NFL agents to sign with them is a far cry from a school's coaches paying a kid to join them, or booster to join them.

One is the school paying to join. The other is a NFL agent to LEAVE the school. I do not see how the later is a competitive advantage. And btw, USC fans would tell you they have 2 AP titles in those years. I am not a USC fan, but that is what they would tell you.

Oh so if it's one team in the Pac-10 then it's an isolated incident, but you just called out the entire SEC on one single incident.
