There's no escape from the Oregon/Oklahoma replay debacle

The Eugene Register-Guard has a new columnist, George Schroeder. He's taking over the writing duties from current Sports Editor Ron Bellamy, who wants to spend more time managing the sports section at the R-G. The ironic thing is that Schroeder comes to Oregon from The Oklahoman newspaper. And what does he write about in his first column? Of course, last year's Oregon/Oklahoma game.

On the surface, he seems to be a good writer, so time will tell if he does his homework, and get to know our teams and our state. It will be interesting to see how he handles the pressure of being a columnist in Oregon, where fans can be hard to deal with.

I liked what he said in this sentence though: "Evil men in swooshes did not collaborate to cheat Oklahoma. The Sooners wear Nike, too."

Too true!
