Siddoway Talks About Official Visits

The other three visits Siddoway plans to take are up in the air, though he’s almost certain to visit Alabama.

“Yeah, it’s looking like I’ll be going to Alabama the weekend they play Auburn, so that is pretty exciting,” said Siddoway.

For now, though, Siddoway said just four teams are in play, though that may change.

“Right now, my top four schools are Cal, Oregon, Alabama and UCLA,” said Siddoway.

I really like Siddoway. I just hope distance doesn't become a big factor in the end.

My gut is leading me to believe that it will.

My gut is leading me to believe that it will.

Mine too. Still, since June I've been singing the praises of Massie and our shot with him.

It will almost certainly be a factor.

Having family in Alabama is a plus, but man it's a long way to Oregon. RTR

Help me out Mr. oh yeah & Ms. Mods. Would we take Siddoway & Massie both or is it one or the other. I probably think AS is going pro & it looks like Massie could come in & start as a true freshman. I believe Siddoway will be blown away by the atmosphere at the auburn game. Instead of those half full dead stadiums of Cal & UCLA & the rest of PAC 1. Thanks for any info on the subject.

I would take Siddoway. I know Moore is being recruited as a DL but I still think he and Massie are the best two OT out there.

 

[Braveheart]

My guess is that Bama will only take one more OT and my guess is that it'll be the first one to commit (either Massie or Siddoway). The other will probably be left out.

FWIW, Autzen Stadium (Oregon) is generally recognized to be one of the loudest stadiums anywhere and has a sellout streak running back to 1999, even if it does only hold 59k.

Not saying it's the same, just pointing out that at least one of the contenders there has a rep for having a notable game day experience.

From wikipedia:
Autzen is known for its crowd noise. On October 27, 2007, during a 24-17 defeat of the USC Trojans, a record crowd of 59,277 fans was recorded at 127.2 decibels. A similarly-loud 31-27 upset of third-ranked Michigan in 2003 prompted a Michigan Daily columnist to write[6]
“ Autzen's 59,000 strong make the Big House sound like a pathetic whimper. It's louder than ... The Swamp at Florida, The Shoe in Columbus, and Death Valley at Louisiana State. Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die.”

Michigan coach Lloyd Carr later said that Autzen Stadium was the loudest stadium he'd ever been in.[7]

In 2006, a Sporting News columnist named Autzen the most intimidating college football stadium in the nation.[8]

Lee Corso of ESPN College Gameday frequently says that; "Per person Autzen Stadium is the loudest stadium that I have ever been in my entire life!"[9]

Maybe I can have him over for dinner and talk the talk. Show him the Crimson Light over some good food, just cause we moved West, doesnt mean we forgot how to cook and throw the Bama charm.

Siddoway, if your reading this, burgers at my house.......:biggrin:

Mine too. Still, since June I've been singing the praises of Massie and our shot with him.

I'll feel much better about our chances with Massie if/when he takes a visit. Till then..........
