Response to R-G guest commentary: Playing football in China will not adversely affect UO, the school

Leave it to yet another Eugene "non-sports fan" hippie academic to whine about the UO Athletic Department spending their private money, from ticket sales and donations, to consider (and possibly) going to China to play a non-conference game in 2009.

The thing is, lady, there have been money issues on the academic side of the University of Oregon since I was a student. Education is what you make of it, not what can be handed to you. The costs will continue to rise, regardless of what the athletic side does.

My solution is this: You want more money for the University? Go lobby the State Legislature and Congress for more public money, and leave the Athletic Department out of it.

Feel the Earth QUACK

This is the new spirit t-shirt for all Oregon Ducks sports for 2007-2008. I think it's going to take some getting use to. But, like all late summer happenings, Duck fans anticipate the start of football, as everyone around here is excited. GO DUCKS!
