Does stuff like this make better football players?... definitely not... if anything, it makes them more pampered/spoiled.


OK, Grandpa. If you think the players are skipping offseason workouts to lounge around, you're wrong.

of course not, but this whole idea that 'it works' is pretty debatable. Mike Bellotti had the best training facility when he was coaching, but UO was never this consistently good... Tennessee just built one of the nicest facilities in the country, but they're still terrible.

oregon has been good b/c their previous three coaches have been good and have been able to build onto each other (starting with brooks)... there's no doubt the nike money is huge, but that's selling the guys who've put in the work short, IMO.

There are dozens of programs around the country who spend just as much or more than UO and have nice facilities and they're not winning as consistently as the ducks have been lately.

Oregon has one of the most innovative strength and conditioning coached anywhere. Radcliffe knows his stuff, so I am sure the weight room reflects his philosophy.
