Regarding uniforms, I personally like the Duck's '95 Rose Bowl unis but I am also totally fine with defering to what the +17 year old recruits like. The uniforms are actually designed for the 17 to +20 year old market. Studies consistantly show that young athletes love our uniforms. I actually liked the NC uniform including the socks but I am also a Duck homer...it is my school (class of 72'). I actually have the same degree as Phil Knight but I was not a middle distance runner...it was too late anyway. I have no claim to fame but very proud of my Dad who was the General Superintendent in charge of the 1967 construction of Autzen Stadium. I was a laborer on that job and wokred with a Duck all-American named Jim 'Yazoo' Smith. This site is so much fun I may spend more time over here than on Educk.

Autzen is rated as one of the top ten places to watch college football....right up there with Tiger Stadium.....I admit I am glad that our game is in Arlington....I want to see that screen in person but I would love to do a series with LSU...both places. I would invite you guys to go fly fishing on the Deschutes. I have fly fished for reds out of Nawlins....forgot to take a hat and had my brains fried....it was in June! I need to get back to work so will check the board out later.

Liar? Fisherman do lie....it is one of the rules. But not about Autzen being in the top 10 best places to watch college football....that has been in all the papers, even on the radio and TV. Lloyd Carr said it was the loudest stadium he had ever been in....no lie.

regarding U of O and Nike that many people do not know.

During the 60's Blue Ribbon Sports (Nike) was given birth on U of O's Hayward Field. Phil Knight/Nike is simply giving back to the institution that provided the environment for its success. Phil Knight was an accounting major and ran track. Coach Bill Bowerman (first Nike shoe designer) was one of the brightest minds in track and field and the University of Oregon was the institution that brought all the required elements for success to one place in time.

rodent nation, the rest of the Pac 12 & the NCAA needs to deal with it and move on! The Bottom line remains....No U of O = No creation of Nike!!

It will be an honor to play the LSU Tigers in Cowboy Stadium and I plan to be there with my favorite Duck (just had our 44th anniversary).

Regarding the 'Lyles' issue.....If my school broke any rules we deserve to be punished....I just hope it is settled by game time on September 3rd so we can all enjoy a great game.

That seems like a cool story, bro. . .but I am going to need a ruling on it.

totally true story....and two movies have been made about Prefontaine that show a lot of the early Nike history.
