Too early for a 2-deep?

My bigest concern is what it would do for the rest of the team. Masoli is a great athlete, no doubt. Will we sell our soul to the devil to win games. I hope not. If he is brought in, I will be pulling for anyone else to be the starter. This is an old story up here. If you get kicked out of Oregon, you got to be bad.

The rest of the team would love to have a playmaker at QB

I didn't say I was cutting ties with Tech. I also donate money to the school of engineering every year. I doubt if I will be banned from the board by not supporting a thug.

Well then post all you want on the academic forums. But, if you cancel your LTAC and stop supporting them as you say you will do, I would consider that cutting ties with athletics. So I don't want to see another post on an athletic forum from you.

JL - still think we have nothing to lose? And Don is just ONE fan. Its highly unlikely he's the only one thinking of doing something like this.

It's highly unlikely? Maybe, maybe not. Would the collective number of withdrawn donations total more in 2010 than our bowl pay-out? Doubt it. I don't think there is a very good financial case to be made for not picking him up.

I still think the risk/reward ratio says take him. Ultimately though, Ill trus whatever Dykes decides...he hasn't given me reason not to.

So, what are you going to do if I keep posting on here, kick my ass???

This is a pretty good off-season thread...

Just treat you like any other troll. And don't assume the outcome on that last part.

If you kick everybody off that doesn't donate to LTAC and buy season tickets, there won't be many left. I know one guy on here that has almost 9000 posts, and he's never bought a season ticket or donated to LTAC.

Didn't say that. Just you. They aren't being a jackass and publicly unpledging their loyalty and support to our athletics because of something so trivial as a potential transfer.

We'll see how trivial Dan Reneau thinks it is bringing a thug to our school.

Let's all chill. You've got to figure, for whatever reason, there's only about a 10% chance of him landing here anyway.

[DawgFight71]

Is there actually any chance of this happening or is this just "what if" talk? Honestly if he does come to Tech and mess up and get in trouble, you have to place blame on the coaching staff and administration that invited him. If they think they could bring him to Tech, maybe change a kids life and give him some guidance and possibly win some football games I see no reason not to try. If we have strong upperclassman leadership that can keep him under control when coaches aren't around it could work. If he was brought in, I'm sure that enough meetings and discussions will have taken place to make a sound judgement on the guy.

Masoli is now free to attend any other program willing to take him in, although he would have to sit out a season if he landed at an FBS level program. He could start playing immediately at an FCS school, and if football is still in Masoli's future that may be the more likely scenario.

Masoli has a redshirt season available for the transfer year, but he wouldn't play at another FBS school until 2011.

In that case, I think I pass on him. It is one thing for him to come in and start this year, and a totally different one to start next year. I am not sure he can stay out of trouble for that long.

Did he graduate from OU before getting kicked off the team?

[nytetyme]

Apparently he has graduated FB, it will be another Taylor Benett situation from my understanding. Masoli I believe has narrowed it between us (La. Tech) and Miss. St. He mite have even been in both cities over the past weekend.......But you didn't hear it from me....
