Phil Knight and Nike is behind the noise about Cam Newton. Cam could be Under Armors first Heisman winner, and AU the first Under Armor National Champ. LaMichael James would most likely win the stiff arm if Cam is tarnished enough to lose votes. This is the same school and man (phil knight) who paid 250,000 dollars for a Joey Harrington billboard to push his Heisman chance.
Hmmmmn, I love conspiracies!

it all leads back to bama and the rec they went big time in crimson mule and got nike involved for more combat unis

the rec will not stop till auburn doesn't exist getting them booted from the conference is just the first step.

I like the Urban Myers conspiracy theory the best. It keeps this as a bitch fight within the SEC. Much more entertaining.

UTk was using Adidas when they won the 98 NC weren't they? There was 1000x more dirt that could have been dug up on that team. Hell, everyone knew their entire 2 deep was on a payroll.

As an Oregon resident, I love this conspiracy theory.

Knight has been spending money like crazy lately. He just tried to buy the governor's race but sadly the GOP candidate he backed couldn't make his free throws down the stretch and lost a close one. Knight is a little pissed at the liberals raising his income taxes. He got the state legislature to make the city of Beaverton back off on annexation efforts (would have meant major league increase in property taxes for Nike's campus). Like him or not, dude has power.

So let's promote this conspiracy!

One last side note, the local media was surprised that UofO isn't promoting LaMichael James for Heisman with another Times Square billboard or some kind of huge ad campaign. Apparently, that's not Chip Kelly's style and he wants the team focused on Win The Day and not individual success. We'll see how it works out... but Kelly has quite the bandwagon in this state now. He'd win the governor's race in a landslide.

It really is. All the Coen Bros. movies are first rate...(except The Big Lebowski, I guess I've never been high enough to really appreciate it)

Come on, it is known fact amongst The Pentavirate that Jake Locker and Andrew Luck are responsible in order to bump off any QB competition in the draft.

Only knuckleheads can't see this.

Is it true that UA is cutting into the market better than Adidas did? IDK?

I'm not talking about the shoe market.

Anyway, it's not ALL about business, it's about U of Oregon, and Knights unwavering desire to make it a powerhouse and a Heisman winning school.

My son calls any super tight-fitting shiny undershirt "Under Armor" ,even the Nike ones. A lot of people don't make the distinction anymore, UA has made an inroad.
