Is public speaking not offered at UO?

Or do they just skip English and Communications altogether? "You know"

Ugh. I pray for him he has a long and prosperous career in the NFL.

 

[CanadianIrishFan306]

That was just i mean brutal you know, i mean i don't know if he is just nervous you know or you know but i don't understand how he got through english in high school you know

 

[BeauBenken]

Not all of Notre Dame's players are rock stars on the mic either.

And I've met plenty of intelligent people who don't speak well.

What I'm saying is cut the kid some slack. He is just a kid.

 

[BeauBenken]

Besides, there are plenty of other things to hate on Oregon for...

 

[CanadianIrishFan306]

Yeah he is probably just camera shy but if he was on ND i wouldn't care if he couldn't even speak English

Good point.

However it wasn't like Ted Miller was shooting him hard questions..... ya know

I would.

 

[Anchorman]

Not everyone is great in front of a camera. We've had a few player interviews that went the same way.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

I think it is less and indictment on UO as it is on Crenshaw High School.

You have heard Michael Floyd in front of a camera right?

I mean, I love Mike but I mean damn.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Nothing can ever top Rolando McClain from Bama's interviews. In one he referred to himself as "me," as in "When me made that play...." It was excruciating.

This.

 

[kmoose]

That really wasn't all that bad. Either the kid REALLY had to pee, or he was nervous as hell. If you think that was bad, watch a Carlo Calabrese interview sometime.

Yeah but he's just a man of few words. At least he doesn't try to act like he has something to say when he doesn't.

Nothing could possibly be worse than hearing Matt Barkley speak. It's like he's a freaking robot. No one in history has been as rehearsed as that kid is. And something about his face being wider than his shoulder blades freaks me out too...
