Come on, guys. It's not a tuition debate thread. What does this all have to do with Bryce Brown?

He'll be on scholarship.

My tuition at ETSU is right around $2,700 a semester. That's not including books, room & board, or anything else.

Yeah I didn't live on campus so I didn't have those costs (thank God). I was thinking about ETSU when I was graduating high school, but I lived in JC for awhile and had no desire to go back.

I am sure that all 6,000 posts in this thread are completely on topic. I am also sure 3,000 of those posts are asking "When will he committ" or "Where is Bryce going" worded in one way or the other. Just responding to a question, geeze

UTK= $19,618 for instate/ $32,576 out of state

UTC= I paid a lil under 3,000 for a entire year. Granted I did not live on campus. If you live on campus that is another couple grand. Also got to add in the cost of books. Either way, still way cheaper thank UTK.

Orange Swarm...I wasn't starting a fight, just saying. I was accepted at UTK but chose to stay at UTC due to family, and the fact I didn't want to be in debt the rest of my life.

True. And, I'm far from being the best 'on topic' guy, but I just didn't want TenD's outstanding work on the merits of a Brown choice of UT over Oregon to get too far back in the thread. That's all. Nothing personal. :hi:

I created Marlon Brown a long time ago assuming he would come here. Bad news guys...we missed out big time on him. In my highly accurate simulation, he re-wrote the ut record books for receiving. This time, I am going to wait until he signs before i create BB

I think Oregon is a hot program...and if I were a recruit it'd be on my mind. Oregon has a +486,363 edge on TN w/uniform variations...that alone makes it hot.

I'm just curious... you folks around here have or have not seen/heard the clip of Bryce talking about how when he goes to bed at night, he dreams of playing in an Oregon uniform?

I'm not saying we'll get him. Especially in light of the recent rumor.

I'm certainly not saying that your chances aren't reallllly good at this point.

But please - all this dismissing of our program's chances is just ridiculous in light of the way this recruitment has gone.

The most amazing thing to me in this whole saga is that BB told a 20 year old blond a secret and didn't think everyone who was interested would know within 48 hours. The info would have been more of a secret if he'd taken out billboard space on I-40.

Is that supposed to be a comeback to TenD's posts? Was is really worth starting a new account to post that?

Had your homer friend not spent all his time posting over 200 similar nothings about Oregon, TenD might have spared your team the humilation of...

My first post here was actually yesterday, and I assure you that Tenacious D's post has not humiliated me in the slightest.

Good point, Wheaton.

Here are some reasons which I believe deserve strong consideration in the continuing discussion of Bryce Brown's recruitment, as it relates to his possible choosing between Oregon and Tennessee.

I don't see where a comparison between Tennessee and Oregon is even open for reasonable debate at this point. In fact, other than the intrusive posters incessantly stating (read: hoping) otherwise, it likely wouldn't be.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
In almost every conceivable category of either significance or importance, there just is no comparison between Oregon and Tennessee - and the facts which support this conclusion are both inarguable and unavoidable.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Overall All-Time W/L Records<o:p></o:p>
Oregon: 556-467-46 (54% Winning Percentage)<o:p></o:p>
Tennessee: 776-327-53 (69% Winning Percentage)<o:p></o:p>
EDGE: TENNESSEE<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Tennessee is only 293 VICTORIES shy of winning as many games as Oregon has PLAYED.....and 221 more wins than the Ducks, and only having played in 87 more games.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Championships
<o:p></o:p>
Conference Championships<o:p></o:p>
Oregon: 7 (5 shared)<o:p></o:p>
Tennessee: 16 (6 shared)<o:p></o:p>
EDGE: TENNESSEE<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
National Championships (Recognized)<o:p></o:p>
Oregon: 0<o:p></o:p>
Tennessee: 4<o:p></o:p>
EDGE: TENNESSEE<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Bowl Game Appearances<o:p></o:p>
Oregon: 22 (T-36th, All-time)<o:p></o:p>
Tennessee: 48 (T-3rd, All-time)<o:p></o:p>
EDGE: TENNESSEE<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
To put this in its proper perspective: <o:p></o:p>
If Tennessee did not go to another bowl game for the next 26 years(!)- AND - Oregon went every year between now and then.....we'd then be tied......in 2035. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
· The following schools have more bowl game appearances than Oregon: <o:p></o:p>
Mississippi (32), Texas Tech (32), Arkansas (36), Washington (29), UCLA (29), West Virginia (28), Colorado (28), Missouri (26), North Carolina (26), Texas Christian (25) (Really? Really.), North Carolina State (24), Maryland (23)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
· In fact, Oregon has only the 5th most bowl appearances of any Pac-10 team, trailing USC, UCLA, Washington, and Arizona State.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
All-Time Team Rankings<o:p></o:p>
Determined by: Total Points, Winning Percentage Points, Nat'l Champ Points, "Big 4" Bowl Points<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Oregon: 51st best (1,192 points)<o:p></o:p>
Tennessee: 10th best (1815 points) (+623)<o:p></o:p>
EDGE: TENNESSEE<o:p></o:p>

· Notable teams with better all-time team rankings than Oregon:<o:p></o:p>
Princeton, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Yale, Illinois, Washington, UCLA, Cal, Penn, Stanford, Purdue, Missouri, Colorado, Navy, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Baylor, Vanderbilt, Southern Methodist, Maryland. Barely edged out Rice, who came in at 52nd best. <o:p></o:p>

I heard it. It was in an interview with Jeremy Crabtree. An interview that Crabtree said he got the impression that Bryce wasn't really interested in UT.

Well. Take that as gospel if you want. I'm sticking with what I know. I'm sticking with what Bryce has told me and what his actions right now are verifying to me.

But you do what you want. You are an Oregon fan, so my concern for whether or not you believe anything on this board is about as low my concern for whether or not you or wheaton ever post here again.

I am pulling off an elaborate hoax, where I somehow managed to find a guy to act like Bryce Brown when Bryce wasn't doing interviews, and basically map out Bryce's next moves before Bryce had. He's the stuff...

Also, I have somehow managed to fool Tony Basilio into believing I do a radio show, to the point that he allowed me to do his show, without ever meeting me. Not once.

Lastly, I've got everyone who reads this thread fooled into thinking Bryce has given me some information, which surely can't be true, b/c you know, no one will notice when it all turns out to be a lie. I'll be able to save face. Maybe I can buy everyone a teddy bear.

hey, i'm right there with you on that one and i'm a chem major as well. glad to know i'm not the only one who spends all day every day studying and doing homework.

as for BB, i wanted to comment on his potential unofficial with his parents this weekend. i think it means that TN is his clear cut top choice right now. i think it has been fairly well documented that arthur brown sr would like for BB to join AB jr at miami, so this trip is about selling the parents on knoxville. i think it is fantastic for us and i honestly believe BB LOI might be signed by the end of the weekend. take it FWIW.

Take it as gospel?

Ok let me try this again, since obviously I wasn't clear enough in my earlier post.

I think you have a GREAT chance at signing him.
I think WE have significantly LESS of a chance at signing him, especially in light of the recent rumor(s.)

I DO NOT think you are lying.

All I'm saying, is that Oregon is a serious consideration for Bryce Brown - which is something that many of the folks here are not willing to admit to themselves.

According to your post, UT has a GREAT chance of signing him. UO has significantly LESS of a chance of signing him, however, he is still giving UO SERIOUS consideration. So how would you describe the consideration he is giving us?

Oregon is all but out of the BB sweepstakes at this point. I put it at 75% UT, 25% Miami (I think VSPN would agree with that). Edit: just saw where VSPN said he thinks Miami's chance is 30%.

Part of the reason I retracted the original comment is I hate when Vanderbilt students try to use the same argument I used against UTC. Obviously the person is much more important than the university. Undoubtedly, there are better students than me at UTC, just like I'm a better student than most Vandy students. It's just irritating when people like UTCVol add in their useless comments, pointing out minor misspellings, while not contributing to the thread in the least bit. So I'm sorry the entire university of UTC got caught in the crossfire.
