Glory at Oregon, but at what price?

Perhaps it is a coincidence that the two teams that played for the BCS championship seven months ago -- Oregon and Auburn -- have been submerged chin strap-deep in allegations of NCAA wrongdoing. Just like it's a coincidence that Ohio State, which played for the BCS championship in 2006 and 2007 (and against Oregon in the 2009 Rose Bowl), forgot how to read and enforce the NCAA rules book.



I don't believe in football coincidences. Not anymore. Not after Coach Sweater Vest, Jim Tressel, with his American flag lapel pin and his laughable book on "life promises," lied through his molars about his starring role in a clumsy cover-up.



Not after Cecil Newton went underground when his pay-for-play scheme involving his son Cam was exposed.



Not after the murky, something-doesn't-feel-right-here circumstances involving Oregon coach Chip Kelly and scouting service owner Will Lyles.



Be careful what you wish for, right?

Gee, I wonder why I'm the most active member?

Perhaps it's because I don't post much in the offseason? Not much to talk about with the Blazers or Ducks.

Great article. I'm sure you're intelligent enough to see what the media is doing....comparing two major violations with a "something doesn't feel right at Oregon."

As we all know, the media's "feelings" are never wrong.

Beginning to think Tlong is easily impressionable and lacks the ability to think for himself or consider factors like motivation and facts.

Ed O lectured me and said tlong isn't an OS troll.
