Right on the money John, thank you for saying this! I'm a life long Beaver fan and grew up in Philomath, but I've been saying this for over 20 years. Instead of whining about uncle Phil and Nike buying everything for the ducks, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! It's never been more relevant than now in this situation. OSU has always been their own…
Right on the money John, thank you for saying this! I'm a life long Beaver fan and grew up in Philomath, but I've been saying this for over 20 years. Instead of whining about uncle Phil and Nike buying everything for the ducks, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! It's never been more relevant than now in this situation. OSU has always been their own worst enemy. They puff their chests out and try to tell everyone they're big time, in a big conference (until next year), but everything they do is small time, always has been.
Their actions have never matched their words . If you think you still belong in a power 5 conference DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! If not, maybe you've earned your place in the MWC. The fans can't care more about it than the the school does. Unfortunately, that's been the case for far too long.
Man, that hurts Jim, unfortunately, however it is spot on. I am Beaver from a family of Beaver faithful. I just moved backed to Oregon after being exiled in Southern California for almost 40 years. I think being so far away and living in the middle of USC country I was able to develop a bit of emotional distance. My Beaver pals always point to Phil Knight and comment if we only had Phil. Yes that would be great, and a huge advantage, however U of O has also had a lot more backing and forward-thinking leadership on the sports side of the ledger then just PK. Pat Kilkenny's forward-thinking leadership, along with many others, also had a very significant impact on the U of O Athletic Department. Listen to Mr. Luck!!
