Hundreds of University of Oregon boosters are on campus to kick off homecoming weekend, and at 7:30 p.m., they are invited to a special event at Hayward Field which UO has told boosters will be "exciting" and "about the future of the University of Oregon."

That, plus speculation in Eugene Weekly, is fueling rumors that UO Booster in Chief Phil Knight may be announcing a huge donation. Sources including the blogger who writes UO Matters, economics professor Bill Harbaugh, have thrown out unsubstantiated numbers as large as $1 billion.

Most of it will go to stupid shit, like academis...which are important.

Money well spent. He has 1, maybe 2, trophies to show for it. Meanwhile, Ebola is winning....

nationally promoting The Pick Uniforms for the udub game...scheduling it for homecoming weekend...nationally promoting a bazillion dollar donation.... if the same gawd that Sark has been thanking has the sense of humor I think he has, then this could be a great weekend to be a Husky. Note, I said "if" there's a gawd; no twisting.

 

[PurpleJ]

Did we win yet?

 

[HFNY]

Someone must have put these on enough times again

The fat douche wearing the yellow Jersey in the front is a definite black eye for Oregon, imo.

edit: Oops. Sarkingham agrees with this obviously.

 

[sarktastic]

a "B"illion $$$?

woah... that's a lotta weed, man.

But but the Zuck has given more money to fight ebola than China has, where are Philthy's priorities?
