I'm not easily riled. This is something that has been rubbing me the wrong way for a while and I finally had enough. It's statements like these that annoy me. How could I possibly have watched him in practice? You don't claim to be all knowing, it's how you post. You belittle others opinions in a backhanded way. If I don't see what you see, I'm not observant. This wasn't exactly called for either. Your attitude on this board rubs me the wrong way. If you think that's creepy, so be it. The Ducks obviously aren't as much of a passion for me as they are for you. I don't watch the practices or pay attention to high school stats because I only care about what they show me on the field during NCAA D1 football. There are people who are unbelievable in practice but can't show a lick of that talent during a real game. I'm not saying Bennett can't throw, but he definitely didn't display any passing skills tonight. I don't care what he's done in practice, I don't care what he's done in garbage time, and I definitely don't care what he did in high school. BTW, you say the prick comment is out of line and then come right back and call me a sallie. Good on ya

How much time did you spend on Dictionary.com exactly? Waste of time in my opinion. How about if I call you a Nancy instead? Any better?
One comment on the Chip situation. If that is how he reacts to his own fans....how is he going to react to the crowds in Seattle, or down on the Tree Farm?
Palo Alto fans I dont worry about at all. I'm fine with Chip putting some dipwit frat boys in line who are just trying to be obnoxious to get on tv.
@ NB -- call me whatever you want and post anything you desire. I'm man enough to take it and not interested in trying to control board communications. I don't need to control other posters based on own esteem and I can choose to reply, read, pass over or respond to other posters accordingly. Re Chip: I understand why he did it and I'm not siding with the kids. But, I do think he came off like an uncontrolled, self-righteous jerk on TV towards fans who were simply trying to share their team support in their own way. We've seen other coaches cheer along with fans, high five, acknowledge the fans or even in the interview say what great fans mean to the success of the team. As an outsider, I know how I felt about coaches like Knight or Leech when they did their self-righteous act...and I didn't like it. I thought it reflected poorly on the program. 99% of the time you'll find me supporting Chip, but we part company here. To me, losing control like that shows weakness, not strength.
He always comes off that way. That's chip. He's an arrogant guy. That just comes with the package. Like it or hate it, that's how the guy is and it reflects in his coaching. Do you think the team would be so aggressive and confident if Chip wasn't that way? Going for it on 4th down in your own territory is NOT something most coaches would do, but Chip is a cocky bastard and I love him for it. He coaches how I would coach.
He coaches how you would coach? You mean you'd be 0-6 too against ranked OOC teams? I kid! I kid! I kid! I love Chip. The kids love him and he fields a damn good and prepared team. I think he's getting a little off balance though.... Sure, fans and media can be obnoxious, but that's the show. He knows it. He can at least maintain composure and show some professionalism.
