Kelly Aiming High

Looks like Kelly is looking to make a splash with Oregon's last position coaching spot to fill. A little while back loos like Kelly offered Jon Gruden to become the offensive coordinator . I'm still thinking that having Bellotti coach the QBs during spring ball shows that Kelly won't hire just anyone to take over that open position.

'08 Oregon Football Video

Back in January I posted a link to a 2008 Oregon video. After I posted the video, it was password protected and the creator of the video he wasn't able to release the password to me. Oregon posted that same video here for all to see. Enjoy.

Year One

This movie has the potential to be amazing as long as the preview isn't showing all the funny parts.

Transition Begins

Here is an article from Moseley that goes over Kelly's transition to head coach. This article should ease some peoples thoughts on the coaching change.

Nine to One...

Here's a good article from Ted Miller on Chip Kelly's approach to his new role.

The Correct Decision?

So did Bryce Brown make the right decision? No, not according to his reason for selecting a school.

More Bryce Brown

Rickert elaborated on Bryce Brown's possible decision tomorrow and why Chris Harper might be in attendance. He's correct, it is both encouraging yet frightening that Harper will be in attendance. We'll know more in less than 12 hours.

Brown and Harper

One more day before Bryce Brown, the nations #1 recruit, makes his decision. According to Rickert at the Oregonian, it looks like Brown will likely choose Oregon or Kansas State tomorrow. It's also rumored that Chris Harper may be there for the press conference. If there hadn't been past rumors of Harper considering a transfer to KSU this rumor of his presence at the press conference would be nothing but encouraging. Though Harper did come out and say that those past rumors were false.

Though Buster Sports believes it's down to Oregon and Tennessee. Even goes so far to link a blog that said Bryce attended a Tennessee practice on Friday. Not sure why anyone would want to play someone like Kiffin but I guess nothing surprises me these days.

Either way I just love the fact that Oregon is mentioned in both of those. Big day tomorrow

Rivals 100

Oregon started off it's 2010 class well. The Rivals 100 was just released for the 2010 class and Curtis White, an Oregon commit from over a year ago, comes in at #72. Oregon's second recruit, Ethan Grant, comes in at #175 on the Rivals 250.

Which School Will Provide the Better Food?

Bryce Brown, the number one recruit in the nation, will be announcing what school he plans to attend on Monday. According to Brown's mentor, Brian Butler, Bryce will fast for an undetermined length of time to let God point him in the right direction. Bryce will likely choose between LSU, Oregon, Tennessee, Kansas State and Florida State. Clemson and Missouri appear to be out of the mix.

Some ESPN Links

Greg Biggins from ESPN believe that Oregon is making some good impressions early for the 2010 recruiting class.

Bruce Feldman has LaMichael James as #5 of the top 10 newcomers to remeber for the 2009 season. Tate Forcier whom Oregon recruited heavily is #1 and Vaughn Telemaque (Safety @ Miami) whom was said to be an Oregon lock before Oregon stopped recruiting him coming in at #3.

The Magnificent Seven

So why isn't the rest of the country hearing more about Brandon Roy? John Hollinger from ESPN is trying to get the word out about "The Magnificent Seven."

Games That Will Decide 2009

In one man's opinion, here are five games that will decide Oregon's 2009 season.

News of the Weird

So I rarely watch the nightly news because of all the negativity but happened to catch half an hour tonight. I logged onto kptv's website to see if I could find the clip I saw of a young adult who was saved from a cave in Seaside by the incoming tide. This kid was so hammered that he could barely make out words or keep his face in the camera's view. I'm sure he made his parents proud.

Unfortunately I didn't find what I was looking for but here is what I did find... When did these people start taking smrt pills?

Woman gets caught breast feeding while driving.
Car thief gets caught after continuing to call 911 to brag that he was too smart to get caught.
Some bright 20 year old put a cat in his bong.
