Oh absolutely. Of the two, Oregon Track and Field (plus the Nike club he works with outside of the university) is faaaaaar more recognized as a storied and premier department - no matter how much glitz and glam the football program gets. It comes down to the fact that T&F is quite simply more about…

Well, I can understand it wholly at a disposable position. Honestly, many of the people that come along with coaches act as proxies for the HC, and I get that. But when you come to a job with an incredibly talented and experienced S&C coach, dumping him for your own guy is simply a power-move. In this instance, it…

Yeah, I should have mentioned that I saw that after the fact. Still, he’s not the primary S&C coach for football anymore. I understand why they did it, but it seems silly to not take advantage of his experience and skill.

This was my initial reaction to the story as well. Actually, my first reaction was “holy shit, they got rid of Radcliffe?!?! WHY?” He has literally written the book on the subject, and is highly regarded in the field (specifically in Track and Field, where he’s excelled at U of O). I have a feeling that he’s going to…

I thought this gag was worn out, but you just saved it. +1

That’s all I could think when reading it: “man, this will be good as a movie. Great story, but told by a 15 year old nerd desperately trying to be cool.”

Dear God no. No it wasn't. It dragged out the countless references forever! That experience turned me off of audiobooks forever.

This is a good and correct take. You can’t really compare players across positions. Imagine comparing Jordan and say... Shaq. Two all-time greats. No way to compare them.

Ahhhh... This is the Kinja we were all expecting. How DARE anybody disrespect the establishment! Good to see you've learned nothing.

The people that deny luck are the same who deny white privilege. As in: “how dare you question my personal role in my success!” I assume these people go on a tirade and burn down a homeless shelter anytime somebody says “it takes a village...”

Ooooohhhh... This is good Kinja. This is the stuff that gets me through the day.

How have I never seen this before? Damn that was funny.

Grant is still around Portland, raising money for Parkinsons. Hell of a guy.

Exactly. I always hated Apocalypse because he was so 90's XTREEEEM. No fun at all. The better bad guys are the ones with less power. The Joker, for example.

This puts a whole hell of a darker spin on Austin's terrible play. Now I can't make as much fun of him, since it's very obvious he's basically saying "do you love me now, dad?" with every play.

Shit, you weren’t kidding. What a game to get those seats!

Came to post this. This is exactly correct, and only slightly less annoying.

But you know what you *do* see? State outline stickers. Lots of them, too. Same with Oregon. That's just as bad in my book, even if it does look better.

*Billie. Stupid phone.

After a week if truly horrific takes, Marchman finally has a good one. It took the death of a pop icon to do it, but still.
