“Great players win games, but great people win championships”
Anthony Wallace and Marcus Mariota are honor roll students. Jared Ebert and his family participate in a program that assists handicapped people in enjoying the wonders of the Grand Canyon.
It's exciting to see the quality of young men that are coming to Eugene this fall, as athletes, as leaders, as competitors, as people.
In other football news, the NCAA announced sanctions of Lane Kiffin for failure to properly monitor the program while head coach at Tennessee.
Today he signed 30 of the nation's leading recruits. Last fall he lost to Oregon 52-31 in the Coliseum, USC's third loss to the Ducks in four years.
In the end, character matters. It matters most when no one is watching, or when someone should be. Some coaches want to take shortcuts and look for quick fixes. They'll promise and wheedle and close the deal.
Down in Eugene, they just keep winning the day.
