Duck athletic department gets kinky

We had a post a while ago about how the Ducks were auctioning off football game jerseys to cover their mounting deficits. LaMike was not amused. But now it's used women's soccer team shorts - complete with certificate of authenticity. Surely there's a classier way to pay for the UO administration's family Rose Bowl junkets?  9/4/2012.

  1. I think the operative word on that web page would be on the top middle - "HELP".

    well, if LaMike ever really graduated (officially) from the UO
    maybe they can auction off his diploma ...

    1. Went to the NFL, so he doesn't count against Rob Mullen's APR bonus. Common scam.

  3. If Lorraine and Robin wanted class, they could charge their family trips to the academic budget. Which I'm willing to bet they already do.

  4. The shorts get shorter every year. You'd expect an economist to have some data predicting when soccer will be played in the nude. I seem to recall that ultimate frisbee has already crossed that threshold.

  5. So much for "Authentic."

    According to a Sept. 4 Examiner sotry: "An online auction website is selling a game used jersey that LaMicheal James wore in a 2009 game against Cal. According to James on Tuesday evening, though, the auction is actually selling a fake jersey."

    Corrections have been made to the listing, but it does leave the question hanging: How many items have been sold misrepresented as "game worn" - presumably at a higher, premium price due to that designation.

    (Pus, I like that a University of Oregon sports memorabilia site begins a product description with, "Own a authentic..." Keep reinforcing stereotypes, folks!)

    1. Aaack... "story" not "sotry."

Thanks for commenting on a UO matter. We value comments with solid information, unverified rumors, or your considered, honest opinion - especially if that involves no more than one cuss word.
