Oh come now, Mathias. Let's just make this simple: where do you think Oregon would be sitting in the world of CFB without Phil Knight's monetary involvement? I can answer that, because I'm old enough to remember them sans PK. Answer? About where Oregon State is right now, stuck in a small rural town with little national tradition or attraction for urban black athletes. I'm not an Oregon hater nor arrogant enough to tell PK where to spend his money, but for you or any Duck fan to pretend he hasn't solely lifted Oregon athletics above Eugene's punching weight is delusional. It's not something to be ashamed of, or apologetic---just lucky. Absorb a joke about it on occasion...
