Exactly how badly does UW need the money? And is the difference between Nike's offer and, say, adidas's so great that it's worth compromising your brand and promoting your arch rival?

According to Phil Bleenor, yes.

UW doesn't work for Nike, Nike works for UW.

Was it the Christmas ornament helmets or the no-huddle offense that convinced you?

If you really think Nike is making decisions for UW I can't help you. Sark went full ducktard willingly. UW asked, Nike was ever so happy to oblige.

I have never understood the obsession with Nike. Kids don't see Nike and think Oregon. They do see Oregon and think NIke. Oregon has leveraged that connection well. If UW marketing wasn't CrazyLarryFS they could leverage Nike much better than they have.

You can't see that Oregon and Nike are synonyms. And I can't help you.
 
there are no football cleats that come close to as good as nike.

Jack H. Lockner. The cleats? So Notre Dame, UCLA and others (who, unlike UW, actually play home games on grass) are wilfully putting themselves at some appreciable competitive disadvantage by signing up for adidas's inferior cleats? Fuck off.

Far more schools are using NIke than are not. I'm not going to say nobody else can make a good pair of cleats, but if you really think there aren't advantages to having Nike then you're going to have to explain why so few schools use anybody else.

Thanks for proving that hating on Nike is a total Doog move, Doog.

Easy. Most programs go with the highest bidder, because most programs don't identify Oregon as their chief rival. Apply the Iron Bowl test: If Auburn was a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike, does you think Alabama would wear their shit?

I don't begrudge or disrepect Oregon. (I actually picked them to win the BCS title game this year.) But I still want them to die in a fire. And that doesn't make me a doog.
