    But I will always remember Akili for this...(the winning points)

     

     

    And this!

     

     

    I will always remember Smith for one other reason... My son was  part of what was then known as, TEAMWORK", a work/study group of Oregon  students who assisted the football coaches and team with various jobs around the AD (my boy was under the supervision of coach Zoumboukos). He was allowed to bring me to Oregon home games as a guest. We usually entered through the tunnel after the team on game day.
     

    The first time I  became aware of the strength of Akili sr's arm was one such occasion. As we reached the mouth of the tunnel,  qbs were warming up, from about the 20 yard line. AS threw a pass that the intended receiver failed to catch. It went through the end zone and nailed me about 2" above my sternum. Despite the fact I was wearing multiple layers, I found out after the game I now had about a 3" diameter bruise on my chest.

     

    Never forgot that experience.

  2. Hope so, cause Justin Herbert needs all the help he can get!

    USC wide receiver Brenden Rice is hoping to team up with his college QB, Caleb Williams, and form a super-duo in the NFL.

    While most parents would be happy to see their child get drafted into the NFL, regardless of what round it happened, Jerry Rice...

     

    "I'm in the best position possible to go ahead and make my mark on and make my own legacy," Rice said. "I went from Caleb Williams to Justin Herbert, and I'm in a room that's going to allow me to compete day in and day out."

  3. In 2016, the University of Oregon had an FLW Bass Fishing team.

    UNIVERSITY OF OREGON WINS FLW COLLEGE FISHING WESTERN CONFERENCE EVENT ON CLEAR LAKE The...

     

    "The huge 28-8 (That's 28 lbs

    -8 oz) limit brought to the scale by the Oregon duo shattered the all-time FLW College Fishing record for heaviest one-day catch. The previous record was 26-15, shared by the University of Georgia and Tennessee Technological University."

    The facts are that he dropped way-too-many passes thrown to him. (10%!) And the rumor is that he bombed the interviews with NFL team executives.

    Sadly there are a surprising number of college students, and graduates, many of them athletes, who either can not, or will not, speak the English language clearly enough, and/or express their thoughts, for a basic job interview. 

    It may not be a popular opinion, but it is the truth, regardless of athletic prowess.
