Ducks Dominance Mostly About The (nike) Shoes ドクターマーチン 8ホール スパイク ブーツ
Fitting that the final game in Husky Stadium 1.0 Saturday should be against Oregon. The decrepit, adidas Originals SS STD g28355 90-year old relic is as big a reason for the Ducks?domination of the Huskies as was Washington鎶?travails with the NCAA rulebook under Don James and Rick Neuheisel.
From 1974 to 1993, Washington won 17 of the 20 games against the Ducks. But Oregon has won 12 of the past 16, including the last seven in a row, by an average margin of 26 http://www.conpts.com/ points. That鎶?a butt-kicking so relentless that Oregon probably has a special shoe for it.
Oregon鎶?climb from stooge-ly to studly is not all about gold-plating. Sarkisian mentioned reasons such as recruiting in California, アシックス asics DOUBLECLUTCH an early commitment to the spread, up-tempo offense and innovations in defensive motion and formation.
All probably true, but in college football, as with most things, it all starts with money, because there are no NCAA rules limiting spending on facilities, スニーカー NIKE only on providing $20 to a player for dinner.
It鎶?estimated that Knight will have ニューバランス H710JC2 spent more than $300 million on facilities at Oregon, including a new basketball arena named after his late son. The Husky Stadium renovation has a budget of $200 million, all from private donors and ticket buyers, none of whom has emerged as knight-like as Knight.
The building envy became clear, as well as humorous, a year ago. Before the Washington game in Eugene, UW Dr.Martens ドクターマーチン AVERY 10EYE BOOTS athletic director Scott Woodward told KJR radio during an interview that while the athletic facilities were wonderful, Oregon鎶?academic standards had fallen.
UW interim president Phyllis Wise didn鎶?care for the Duck diss, and ordered Woodward to apologize. When it read more like a clarification, she ordered him to do make a personal apology, which he did. ナイキ ジョーダン メロ9 Apparently the matter is finished, because Woodward has been seen at recess as well as after-school activities.
While it was wonderful to see that the traditional contempt between the schools has reached the level of the ADs, Woodward was trying to make a point about how state funding JORDAN スニーカー 通販 has undercut universities across the country. That鎶?true, but the last thing in these times a state legislature wants to do is use public money on a sports facility, no matter how needy.
Even though Husky Stadium is a public facility at a state university, and was in need of upgrades to meet safety codes, funding the renovation out of Olympia was an immediate non-starter. Sonics fans will testify to the difficulty. So after several years of futility, boosters and athletic department officials finally put the renovation in private hands, selling bonds JORDAN スニーカー to cover $150 million, and private donations for the balance.
It would ナイキ エアジョーダン 1 アナダイズ have been much easier and cheaper to have a rich Microsoftie come forward as Knight did. But for whatever reasons, it didn鎶?happen, so the collection plate is being passed among the many.
It鎶?a better way. Knight not only has bought the athletic department, with say-so over the hires and fires ?and some say, ネイティブ ジミー a little play-calling during football games ?most of the university is beholden to him.
But he also bought the NIKE RUNNING school a national profile it would have never obtained any other way, and it gave the Ducks a big football recruiting advantage over the hated, formerly arrogant Huskies.
Most Ducks fans are happy to live with the compromise to integrity アディダス アディゼロ クレイジーライト ロー as long as the Huskies are thumped steadily. But change is underway, even though change is still a 14-point underdog Saturday.
Huskies sports sentiment will be given a loving airing this week. Then it鎶?back to the college sports arms race, and the Huskies in 2013 ウォータープルーフブーツ will no longer bring a knife to a gunfight.
