Chip Kelly, From The Ducks To The Bucs?
Reports out of both Oregon and Tampa are saying that Chip Kelly is about to jump to the NFL Bucs. In his short three-year tenure as the Oregon Ducks head coach, Kelly has a phenomenal 34-6 record -- including three BCS Bowl appearances including a BCS title game loss to Auburn. Supposedly Kelly has...
7/5 Sundry: Freedom links
Hope everyone had a good 4th of July weekend and the PADS onset is brief and merciful. Two out of three definitions apply here. A while back we posted a story about UT taking physical possession of $1 billion in gold, about 5% of its $20 billion endowment. A lot of theories were posited about...
We Are Not The Knights
At Texas, we've often said we're the Joneses but apparently we are not the Knights. Oregon is trying to wrestle the mantle of University with most bad ass facilities away from us with the new Howard Roark-designed Len Casanova Center, which will be privately funded through the philanthropy of...
The Dig: Where Do I Sign? Edition
National signing day for college football is only two days away, and UTEP's 2012 recruiting class is beginning to take its final shape. The Miners now have 16 confirmed verbal commitments for next season, and a few more will likely sign on the dotted line come Wednesday. With that, here's what's...
Nike Hyper Pro Elite Combat Platinum Super Fantastic Uniforms Are Here!
As Kit noted this morning, the last Wednesday before national signing day has been a slow news day. How so? So slow that Georgia has had two player arrests in the last 15 months yet is tied for the Fulmer Cup lead, Isaiah Crowell performed as well as any top-tier freshman tailback in the nation yet...
An interesting take on Chip Kelly and the NFL
When the news started to break on Sunday night that Chip Kelly was flirting with the NFL, I chuckled. Not because that Kelly was getting out of town before the NCAA posse got to Eugene, but because I knew many on the Ducks side of things would light themselves on fire that Kelly would even consider...
Quack Fix: AD Mullens talks about Chip Kelly, what does Phil Knight think?
Everyone's hearts recovered from the weekend? Here's some quack to calm those nerves. Oregon Athletic Director Rob Mullens had a press conference yesterday, to talk about what really happened in the Chip Kelly situation (full video is after the jump). Aaron Fentress has an article summing up the...
On Oregon's Odd Uniforms and the Legacy of Bill Bowerman
If you tuned into the 2012 Rose Bowl on Jan. 2 that pitted the Oregon Ducks against the Wisconsin Badgers, you would have been presented with an unusual sight - one team in helmets so shiny they seemed almost as if they were aglow. SB Nation college football maven Spencer Hall likened the UO lids...
Wednesday Morning Dawg Bites: Y'all Can Release the SEC Schedule Any Time Now, Really
Wednesday is upon us, though, technically, I’m not sure Wednesday counts as "hump day" if it falls in a four-day work week, and my office will be shutting down for Christmas as of the close of the business day tomorrow. Accordingly, I am bringing you the glad tidings and great joys associated with...
Kevin Plank's Influence At Maryland: Any Conflict Of Interest Here?
The boys over at Testudo Times found an interesting article on Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank and his influence on Maryland athletics. It was recently revealed that Plank loaned or chartered a plane five times for Maryland in the span of two years for everything from the Terps' most recent football...
