Whats funny is, on the float board, some guys are actually saying that this article could HELP with recruiting!! Lol. Dude, every coach in the country can negetive recruit oregon like crazy with this article!! All a coach has to do is show recruits mom and dad this article and the yucks will fall alot for many potential recruits and most of all their parents. I would not want my son going to a school where half the kids on the team smoke weed. Hell no.

Nice images in the article! That graphic artist must have had fun.

Yup. Just last year my buddy saw a bunch of D-Linemen toking up behind Wendy's.

Probably not a good thing to advertise though haha.

Most parents dont see it as "normal" though. The younger generation sees weed as no big deal, their parents however see it as a stumbling block for their kids. Like me for example, I smoked at partys when I was in high school, I thought it was a no biggie. However, now im 32, and have two little boys of my own. And speaking as a parent, I dont want my kids to ever have anything to do with that stuff. You change alot when you have children. And while this probably happens on every football team, this perticular article targets oregon as a school that embraces weed as a geographical hobby almost! So from a parental perspective, this article could hurt oregon recruiting I believe.

+1 as a parent of two young girls, I could not agree more.

Again, stupid. As a father of girls you should do everything in your power to have alcohol made illegal. You don't hear about kids stealing, vandalizing, raping, and fighting while on weed.

This thread is not even about making things illegal. And your calling kyod stupid?? Your probably young im guessing? Early 20's? Think you got the world figured out? No kids?? Yet you call kyod stupid for his view on a subject reguarding parental views? Shut up you little punk, your late for class. You know nothing inside your parents sheltered bubble.

Wasn't calling him stupid. Relax and take a deep breath. Calling the freak out on weed stupid. I don't smoke either but I think its overblown

Well if the oregon article was about ALCOHAL, then we'd be talking about alcohal, but its about WEED, so thats what kyod and myself we're talking about, as PARENTS. We dont disagree that alcohal is bad, we're not stupid. But we are discussing the article at hand. You hijacked the thread and changed the subject to alcohal use.
Oh and p.s.
There is nothing more rediculous than a young kid telling parents how to be parents.

First off, anyone appauled by this I think you will find out you are in the minority. Are there some parents who might be turned off by this? Sure but any parent that has done their due dilligence at least in the last 25 years would already know exactly what Eugene is all about. I actually think Oregon's position on this could actually improve recruiting with some kids.

I guess we'll just see

It is delusional to think your kids aren't smoking pot in college - it's everywhere...but there is smoking pot recreationally, and a down right pervasive pot/drug culture in a university not known for academics. Oregon is the latter.

Kids going to a school to party and get stoned all the time, vs kids who study hard, but toke it up in social situations or to relax, is another.

I don't like tobacco, alcohol or pot and drugs...and I stressed to my girls not to use them because I never did, but I'm certainly not fool enough to think they didn't try it. I'm not going to pontificate to those that do.

Ummmm, yeah....we might wanna leave this topic alone...if ya catch my drift.
