A fun little bye-week mystery has momentarily hooked the attention of the college football fan base at Oregon State. I don’t know Jefferey Legree, but he’s trying to pull together some kind of pseudo-media event for Friday at 2 p.m.
He announced it on social media.
Legree has politely asked that nobody contact his 18-year-old son, Jesse, the all-world Oregon State freshman receiver, about the matter. No distractions, dad says. All inquiries, instead, should be directed through a third party.
The “Decision Day” branding has a fun and urgent feel to it. It suggests that there’s something to be decided, right here in the third week of October.
Is Jesse going to announce he’s committed to another season in Corvallis? Is he launching a side-hustle business? Is dad just siphoning off some of the attention for fun? Is Ocho Cinco making good on a rumored $2 million match?
I reached out to sources at Oregon State for answers.
