Cal 3, Oregon 42 (Final)

Chip Kelly makes an unusual gesture this week ...

Fan asks Oregon Ducks coach Chip Kelly for refund after loss at Boise State, gets a check for $439 in return - ESPN

Kelly replies to invoice with $439 refund

Plenty of disgruntled fans have said they wanted their money back after an underwhelming performance.

But how many have made that complaint -- and then received a check in the mail, signed by the coach?

Tony Seminary did.

The story starts in Boise, Idaho, where on Sept. 3, Oregon lost its season opener to Boise State -- and star running back LeGarrette Blount lost his temper and responded to an apparent taunt from Boise State's Byron Hout with a punch.

The 19-8 loss was disappointing for Oregon, which started the season with BCS bowl aspirations. The punch and Blount's behavior afterward, in which he had to be restrained from approaching fans in the stands, led the team to suspend him for the season.

Seminary, an Oregon alumnus from the Portland area, attended the game in Boise. According to the Web site everydayshouldbesaturday.com, he was so unhappy with what he saw, he sent Ducks coach Chip Kelly an e-mail, with an attached invoice for $439 in travel expenses.

"The product on the field Thursday night is not something I was at all proud of, and I feel as though I'm entitled to my money back for the trip," he wrote, according to the Web site.

According to the Web site, Kelly replied to Seminary's e-mail with a question: "What is your address?"

But...but Cal is the number 6 team in the country?

Another example of the folly of preseason polls. Cal's biggest wins were over Maryland and Minnesota.

I shoulda put more on the Ducks. :pimp:
