MOST AVOIDABLE POLICY by ST

On yesterday's show I mentioned how I found the whole UO President/Mike Bellotti buyout/AD fired mess was boring. I've now upgraded this to aggravating. The Oregon brass is incredibly condescending and arrogant. I harken back to the press conference around 2001 when they fired women's basketball coach Jody Runge. As always, there were issues and the University was the exact opposite of forthcoming. Then V.P Dan Williams was so smug with his "need to know" cockiness like we were all ignorant peasants and he'd deem what we were worthy of knowing. Seriously, if he'd copped that attitude with me in a bar or social situation, I'd have cracked him one. The bigwigs at the U of O simply need to get over themselves. They're not posessing the secret codes to the missiles at NORAD or dealing in national security. Be stand up people, and tell the truth because obviously it's going to come out anyway. And try speaking english instead of lawyerspeak. UO President Richard Lariviere fired Mike Bellotti as athletic director. It happens. Tom Landry was fired by the Cowboys. Willie Mays was traded. The 49ers traded Joe Montana. They just didn't try to cover it up or lie about it. Here's a thought. The UO wants fans and media members to live and die with their every word and event. When we cover events and stories and sell out Autzen Stadium, they love us. But when things take an imperfect turn, then we're mindless idiots who have no right to the truth. Can't have it both ways folks! Your thoughts???
