Texas was always one of a handful of schools out there that I liked to see do well. Their whole behavior during the Big Ten expansion really left a sour taste in my mouth though, and I'd love to see the smug get wiped off their [censored]ing faces.

Arkansas putting Texas in its rear view mirror (by leaving the old SWC) was the best thing J. Frank Broyles ever did as AD.

Even so, there are still people with some sort of weird Collegiate Stockholm Syndrome who pine away for the days of us getting boofoo'd by Texas on a regular basis.

It wasn't until last year that the talk of "Arkansas should move out of the SEC and into the Big 12" and the Big 12's impending collapse has shut them up.

Seriously, Fuck Texas right in their arrogant, cheating mouths.

Did someone say "trading memorabilia?"

Angrybeavs.com
Well, I never intended to cover the Ducks, but I keep getting information that's too good to ignore, so here we go.
What I am hearing is there's a medical marijuana dealer in Oregon exchanging marijuana for players' memorabilia. These are high profile players, folks. And some of the memorabilia is from the National Championship Game. I'd say this source is %99.9999~ reliable and is in possession of a (figurative) smoking gun. To avoid any legal issues I'll leave a little room for "doubt", if you catch my drift.
A second tipster further confirmed the marijuana story above, and also linked me to an eBayer selling game-worn Duck gear. With his approval, I'm sharing a portion of our email exchange:
So the story as I heard it?a buddy of mine has a medical marijuana card. My friend, a big football fan, was here in Portland hanging out at a marijuana dispensary and chatting up the guy that worked behind the counter about football. This is probably early February? Evidently the guy behind the counter installs grow light operations for people who have medical marijuana cards. So he got a call one day to install some new grow lights in some other guy's basement. He goes to the guys house and there's TONS of Oregon memorabilia. Signed jerseys, helmets, shoes, gloves, you name it. Tons of stuff from what I heard ? like a museum. And going back just a few years ? like Dennis Dixon era on, but nothing older than that. The grow light installer asks how this guy got all this stuff ? and without directly stating anything, the other guy indicated he traded marijuana for it. This morning I heard from a 2nd source that is basically the same story as what I had heard originally. I deliberately haven't told anybody about this, so I know I didn't hear it from somebody who heard it from me. I doubt my friend has really told anybody. He told me because he knows I'm an OS fan but he said he hadn't really spread it around, so I don't think it's coming from the same source. There's a possibility though that it's from the same source.
Now, I heard that this story happened in Portland (making Cliff Harris' recent midnight run pretty interesting to me). Today the other source told me that the house was in Eugene ? in fact the same house that Kiko Alonso broke into back in April/May.
In addition, I found this?

This person, with a Eugene address, seems to have quite a bit of Ducks memorabilia for sale. Now, i know?you can buy SOME of this kind of stuff at the annual Oregon 'garage sale', but never game worn jerseys or helmets. Never autographed items.

There's a University check (that was proven, right?), and a freakin' thank you letter for steering a kid there! Sure, some of the stuff is probably going to be hard to pin down and nail them for, but they're going to at least get a pretty good slap across the face I would think.

Wow, reading some duck boards and they are in 98% denial over there. Given what I've read, the force is strong with those ones. :lol:

In their defense, how many of us over here at BP were in denial over what's transpired over the last 8 months?

A lot. But initially we just thought it was about a couple of guys trading their own stuff for tattoos. As more came out, especially the Tressel stuff, many of us said it was bad news. They have a cover up and a lot of pretty damning stuff in that article and are still burying their heads in the sand. Given what has transpired in Columbus, common sense would dictate there would be some pretty nervous fans around the duck program...

Well, I think we can close the book on the whole, "will they get the same scrutiny as Ohio State" question.

The two matters are not apples and apples. Just like the MoC situation was very unique and far more news worthy than almost all of the other stories that you compare it with when discussing the matter. Really, try to find me as high profile an athlete as MoC who said the same type of things about his coach and program as he said about Tress.

That was unique in many ways.

There are valid reasons that y'all get more press when things go bad, some that are just unavoidable, and others that are self inflicted.
