Update: Kelly buzz..."The Thread" Hall of Fame bound.

I'm not convinced this deal does anything directly with the Nike deal, though I'm sure if UF starts winning and raises it's brand, we might get a better contract.

Nike had no ties with Chip Kelly. Their deal with U of Oregon is based on proximity and Phil Knight. To the best of my knowledge, gave the school money for facilities, not Nike.

 

There's only one solution....lift the boob ban and posting will take off. We'll be at 1000 by this time tomorrow.

 

I'm thinking we may be on to something here. . . .

 

Ok, the details are shiftier than Kadarius Toney on rollerblades. From what I can tell, we had him last night. This is where I checked out. Recruits were excited. Players were curious. Board was elated. Press conference scheduled. Then, we find the plane has no coach, no contract, and a deflated SS + Fuchs. No press conference occurs, but there is some chance that Chip still selects us after he's heard UCLAs pitch? Is that what we still have on our plate?

 

Not all do...not everyone is as open minded. Unfortunately.

 

I can find them near warm water of power plant this time of year, but yeah

 

Well there's only 5 of ya that I'm aware of. Thought the odds were decent I'd get an "amen" You know us male types.

 

That's Theory Bravo

Theory Alpha: Deal is done. Waiting for season to end to not negatively effect CK's SF money.

You choose.

 

Yeah. It was whopping...

 

I like Spot Smerklin. He is a nice guy. It showed when he was leaving that plane last night when he talked to the fans despite what can only be a tough day for him. Regardless of the outcome, I honestly think he did his best to pitch Chip Kelly, and probably other UF guys slowed him down and /or Chip Kelly just wanted to play UF. He went for the biggest hire right of the bat, and is trying to keep this class together.

Will see how thinks move along with this search, but I think UF will be OK under him.

 

Its not based on proximity. The Oregon Track coach, Bill Bowerman made shoes for his track team. Made the first pair of Nikes on his wife's waffle iron. Phil Knight was his business partner. Phil handled the money, Bowerman handled the shoes. Nike was literally born at Oregon.

 

Must be GE

 

He had a scrong premonition that it would turn out bad.

 

So you’re already counting UF out of this thing?

 

Oh yeah. You are right

 

Unfortunately there's that vocal group of past their prime harridans who are bitter about their life choices and resent those who look better than them. Not that we have any of those on this forum, of course. Im speaking only in generic terms.

 

Look at you with the old Occams Razor card

 

I rather see a list of how much money the apparel companies make off the deal rather than how much they are paying to break into being a school's apparel company.

Addidas is clearly a late comer to all of this as evidenced by dates and limited number of schools. They are paying a lot to break into the scene so to speak and are trying to get their name relevant again among the kids.

Bang for the buck, Florida is still better for a marketing plan.
