Comment from DSA’s Mac Duck

Great work Scott. Please bear with this long post. I have had these thoughts swirling around in my head ever since reading your 2nd piece and after seeing your latest edition this morning, felt compelled to put them down. Sorry to start another thread.1. OPPOSING FANS & MEDIA REACTION:Don't expect folks to be swayed into thinking that the Ducks aren't still guilty of violations after read

Response to Questions

Okay... where to begin... went shopping and there were tons of responses while gone... so here goes:RM: "Your argument about the $25,000 is, as I’ve stated here before, a canard. Paying any old scouting service $25,000 wouldn’t be a big deal." SDR: That is actually my ONLY point about this... when it was first revealed, as I have previously stated, many articles referred tot eh payment as "excessi

Update

It has been a crazy week... I really did not expect a simple little story on my own blog to garner as much attention as it has.I did two radio appearances yesterday on 750 The Game; I was very happy to share this perspective with a larger audience and thankful for the positive reception of both Chad Doing and Dave Smith! The audience was very receptive, so I am happy that I was able to bring some

Who was Lache’s Mentor?

Time for a new tidbit that might shed even more light on how mangled Lache Seastrunks relationships were during his last two years of high school.We have heard Lyles call himself Lache's “mentor." Yahoo printed such statements as fact simply because they came from the man's mouth. But that's the thing about mentor's; typically, kids who are mentored by someone appreciate their mentors and talk can

Did Chip Kelly Give us a Hint?

I have a couple of belated thoughts on Chip Kelly's statements yesterday. They seemed pretty tame on the surface, not likely to get much attention. But let's look again at two different statements: "misconceptions" and "80 schools."I think those two things give us a great deal of insight into what the Ducks strategy is with the NCAA.In every business there is a worker who is new and working his wa
