guess if they take him, it ought be called the "Halfway House up North"?

</p>

 

[JimC1097]

Most were making comments about how we should take him, nothing to lose, etc. I was not in favor of taking him, however if we did, I would have supported and thought he could help us.... Let's not be too critical of HWHUN if he goes there. He will athletically help any team he joins. He is a playa.....

I wish he was coming to our team.

 

[FlabLoser]

140 hrs community service could be done in....140 hours I guess. How about a year probation? Wonder how often he has to report somewhere in Oregon and who is going to pay for all those trips.

 

[RebelBruiser]

It's no different. We could use him. He could help our team. The risks are minimal. I hope we get him.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Then you can live with a small amount of ribbing then.

Just goes with the package.

 

[nsvltndog]

I agree the situations have some similarities. The main difference being that Cam had some timebetween the incident and his next stage of recruitment during which he seemed to stay out of trouble. Masoli kind of blew that up when he got busted for possession while on probation. I can't remember if Cam was booted off the UF team or left b/c it may have been inhis best interest to do so. If booted off, I guess it was a 1 strike policy at UF. Masoli used up both of the strikes he was given at Oregon.

Bottom line is it looks like our secondary mayhave to defend laptops flying around the field twice this season.

I can take the ribbing if it comes with a player that can help us win games. That's all that really matters. I'd be Miami of the 80s and be happy to listen to people call our team a bunch of thugs.

 

[thatsbaseball]

as the process unfolded. Didn`t mind paying him to play just didn`t like his and his dad`s act. Never wanted Masoli.</p>

We already do.

The difference to me is this:

Newton would have had an entire spring to learn the offense. Masoli would have had to beat out Relf and while our offense is similar to Oregon's, I don't think he could have made up enough ground to beat out Relf. And yes, I do realize that Masoli would have been brought along slowly, but if Relf does the job adequately, why replace him? On top of that, our schedule is much more difficult in Sept. than Ole Miss's is. We don't have a Tulane and Jacksonville State game to let him come in and run a few plays here and there.

Not only that, Newton has a much stronger arm than Masoli, and is much more familiar with Mullen as a coach. So, no, it's not totally the same.

 

[MississippiHeavyMetalDawg]

On July 1st - zagreb of the Veazey's blog say:

"He's also a thug."

"He would also be the biggest thug since Glock carrying Brown."

"You are 100% on target.

If Mullen want's an "outlaw" program, sign him.

Mullen appears to be better than that."

 

[MississippiHeavyMetalDawg]

On Veazey's blog, the "nays" outweighed the "yeas" 10-to-1 in early July when he was rumored to be a MSU lean.

Veazey also included a link with arrest information and "And, of course, Masoli’s 2010 eligibility would hinge on a NCAA waiver. And, of course, Masoli’s 2010 eligibility would hinge on a NCAA waiver."

I definitely think Masoli is going to be limited in what he can do with the offense, and I don't think he's a great fit for our offense, but if he is coming, I'll take him. We need bodies, and a body with experience that can get it done will help, even if he needs time to learn packages and only is able to do a few packages for us this fall.

I wasn't talking about the measurables on Newton by the way, just the self-righteousness that I'm sure would come based on the off-field stuff.

Anyway, you're right that our schedule sets up better for bringing someone along, which is good since we're going to be doing that with Stanley, Mackey, Masoli, or anyone else that we lined up at QB. We'll need some breather games to get everyone's feet wet.

We had 4 bodies expected to be in school at QB this fall (Snead, Stanley, Cotton, Mackey). We're down to 2. We need a third. I don't want Haggard sitting there only 2 plays away from starting.

 

[patdog]

The thought that he couldn't beat out Relf is laughable. But not as laughable as the comparison to Schaeffer. Make no mistake, Masoli would have made a big difference to our team this fall and an even bigger difference to UM's team.

 

[El Diablo Blanco]

also the 5 grand fine will be no problem now. i'm sure he has 5 grand laying around, other wise he would have to steal for money.

Oh, wait............

[NewTweederEndzoneDance]

for making that determination? The majority of people that post comments on just about any part of the CL make Jerrell Power look like Einstein...

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I haven't been keeping up with it, and frankly the people who run the thing don't keep up too well with it either.

He was kicked out of his high school for strong arm robbery and went to juvie.

<h2>Some news about Jeremiah Masoli’s background — and it’s not pretty</h2><div class="entry">

<font color="#993333">This story</font> in the Eugene Register-Guard uncovers some things about the Duck quarterback’s background that haven’t been reported before:</p>

Masoli is unwilling to discuss the details of his guilty plea for the robberies in and around San Mateo, Calif., in 2005, which resulted in his expulsion from Serra High and a stint in the juvenile detention center.</p>

But, speaking in general terms, Masoli acknowledged the significance of his experience in the detention center.</p>

“I definitely grew up quickly,” he said. “Once you go inside, you definitely have to grow up quickly.”</p>

Juvenile court records are closed, but media accounts and a source close to the school confirmed that Masoli was one of several Serra football players arrested in June 2005, and subsequently expelled, for targeting individuals at San Mateo’s Hillsdale Mall and isolated bus stops in the area, muscling them for money.</p>

A respected student and a team captain, Masoli pleaded guilty to robbery, according to the San Francisco Examiner.</p>

Citing California student-privacy laws, Serra football coach Patrick Walsh wouldn’t discuss specifics about Masoli’s involvement with the crimes but did say it had a tremendous effect on the school and the football team.</p>

“Very shocking,” said Walsh, now in his ninth season as the coach at the private, all-boys Catholic school. “It was very difficult on all of us. He was an all-league quarterback, and he just got caught up in something he shouldn’t have.”</p>

Masoli said his family and his faith helped him get through.</p>

“It’s one of those things I was taught when I was little, just to persevere no matter what,” he said. “You just gotta lean on God. That’s really what I was brought up on. Everybody has their bad days, bad weeks, whatever. I just feel like I’m such a strong person because of the people who raised me that I could get through anything.”</p>

He admitted, though, that there were moments his faith waned, moments when he wasn’t sure if he’d be given another chance to play football.</p>

“It’s always tough. There’s temptation everywhere,” he said. “I’m just like any other person on the street.</p>

“It is what it is,” he added. “It’s life, and that’s what happened. And now I’m here and doing this.”</p>
