That's the funniest thing about Knight, to me. I wonder if that's common for him. I mean, I know we're sponsored by Nike just like a lot of teams, but he's generally known as an Oregon fan.

It's not secret that Oregon fans are one of many that can't stand Alabama right now. I bet this picture would have some Oregon fans in an uproar.

Oregon is a program trying to create something and honestly, they really haven't done anything. So they've been to the Rose Bowl a few times and played in the NC games once, not impressed. They've got an alumni (Phil Knight) who loves the school, is super rich and wants to do whatever he can to boost Oregon into the upper echelon of college sports. Sure they've been at the top of the Pac-12 for a few years, but its not like they are beating USC, UCLA, Stanford when they are firing on all their cylinders. They've managed to beat an SEC team a few times, but hell everyone's been beating on Tennessee.

I'd say Oregon wants to be like the other big schools, they want so much to fit in. There is no doubt in my mind that Phil Knight is doing research...he's gonna figure out how he can spend more money and influence people more to get Oregon there.

Pretty sure I saw Dee Milliner patting OJ Howard on the back after his TD.
