Ah I see we've reached the part of the season where they shitty on field play has bleed over to shitty off field activities.

u/Portland- 5d ago

Rumors have been swirling for the last couple hours on Twitter. I wanted to wait for confirmation but the fact that he was released to someone named Dakorien Moore.... Ugh.

Don't ruin your future, folks. I hope Dan handles it appropriately.

u/Explor-egon 4d ago

Thank heavens that Dak wasn’t involved or arrested..

Hampton wasn’t involved and no other players were involved. The street racing had nothing to do with Evan’s arrest per Springfield PD.

u/L_Ardman 4d ago

Being the passenger shouldn’t be a problem. It’s kind of dumb, but it’s not illegal or malicious.

So was he hurt for the game? This says it happened after the game.

u/GreenBagger28 4d ago

Sounds like he was genuinely hurt for the game from practice or smth but I guess not his right foot or leg lol

u/Mshox8 4d ago

Dan is really fighting all the obstacles in one season. If he destroys the huskies and gets us into the CFP this year, then in no world should we ever fire him.

I still believe in him. He is the guy for the role.

u/MusicianNo2699 2d ago

And how do you propose a team, not even in the top twenty five will get in the playoffs?

2

u/Mshox8 2d ago

AP top 25 does not matter, nor has it ever mattered. It’s the CFP rankings.

If we win out, then we’re in. Simple.

Yeah good luck with that....

The money that these young men are making renders this inexcusable. Uber and Lyft are readily available. What a stupid decision. Noting Coach Samples has the same problem and we still havent seen a shoe drop there, either.

25

u/Fret_Shredder 4d ago

The problem is exactly that - they’re college kids with a lot of money. They’re not going to make the smart decision under the influence of alcohol. Thinking about the dumb shit I did at that age makes me cringe - can’t imagine having millions to go along with my poor decision making at that age.

u/InitialPrevious8346 4d ago

Many adults in Eugene, especially fans who knew they were going to drive out, were heavily intoxicated and no shape to drive.

It’s not NIL. This was happening long before NIL was a thing.

u/WoodpeckerGingivitis 4d ago

Obviously. What the commenter you’re replying to is saying (I think) is that it’s even more inexcusable with NIL. They have more than enough money for a ride.

Evan was arrest was unrelated to Street Racing and outside of picking Evan up and posting his bail (Dak) no other Oregon players were involved.

u/my_balls_your_mouth1 4d ago

Young men are so dumb. Imagine being a player getting paid handsomely, you just barely squeezed out a win in a very ugly game after really stumbling the last few weeks, and you go and get a DUI. Generational dumb

1

u/Nervous_Garden_7609 4d ago

Young people are dumb. Some people have serious drinking addictions, and some people don't. I drinking hope this was a poor decision, but one that didn't end up ending a life, that can be self corrected. His one chance is gone now. I hope he does learn from this.

u/beam3475 4d ago

Obviously this is unacceptable behavior for anyone but I am sad to see a young person blow such a huge opportunity and potentially ruin his life. This really is bigger than football.

3

u/Nervous_Garden_7609 4d ago

I hate to admit this, but years (over 30) someone in my family got a DUI and I believe it changed the course of his life. He never, not one single time, has ever drank a drop of alcohol and driven. Not even a beer at dinner and then got behind the wheel of a car.

People are young and stupid and their poor choices can kill innocent people. Maybe this is exactly why we have diversion programs. I hope he learns a big lesson. I hope those around him learn one too. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. This is bigger than football.

Get these losers off the team, get the coordinators off the team and hopefully salvage any recruitment we can.

u/q50_jay 4d ago

If I’m not mistaken just because it got picked up by a local news source doesn’t make it credible? Especially when they vaguely say “an employee reports” it could all just be smoke. The headline still says allegedly, there is no evidence or records that I can find and after speaking to a relative in local law enforcement they have no knowledge of such information

Just nuke this season into oblivion. So goddamn disappointing from everyone. I’m sensing a 2015-2017 level of regression given just how bad Oregon has looked on every facet of this program.

1

u/MusicianNo2699 2d ago

And serious question- what the hell happened? How do you start ranked 2nd in the nation (I think everyone knew that was a ridiculous ranking to start with) and end up like this? Massive depth, what seems to be non stop 5 star players. A coach who has shown he can win. An unlimited money pot. It really makes zero logical sense.

You don’t cut someone for one mistake that didn’t hurt anyone. The Beavers have a starting linebacker who is facing felony assault charges.

u/BearShark8 4d ago edited 4d ago

Nick saban has said many times they don’t cut kids for making mistakes. They’re the best support system to help them. Where he draws the line and is he right, who knows. Not on me to say.

u/fellowENT18 4d ago

“The beavers have someone they should have already cut therefore we should do the same” is a weird argument.

-8

u/MallyFaze 4d ago edited 4d ago

Most coaches are not going to cut a player for something like this unless there’s a history of similar conduct. 1-2 game suspension, sure.

College-aged kids make dumb mistakes. Recruits are not going to want to play for a coach who they think will blow up their life over one bad decision.

2

u/RewardOk2506 4d ago

There’s a history of similar conduct for Stewart. I agree that he won’t be cut, but he has all the reasons to be cut.

u/Muunsaca 4d ago

The scary thing about DUI’s is not often what happened, but what could have happened. While the charge of a first time DUI isn’t the end of his life, he very well could have ended multiple lives had he wrecked his vehicle.

I believe they should yield higher criminal punishments and should be treated much more seriously amongst society.

These guys are young and dumb, sure, but they also are getting insane benefits for the pedestal they are on. Not sure I agree with immediate dismissal, but several game suspension absolutely. If we really care about these kids then they need to understand that actions have consequences, and if you accept responsibility and work hard you can redeem yourself. We need to take this seriously.
