It’s Saturday and I’m sitting in a Wenatchee coffeehouse waiting for the Apple Blossom Festival Parade to pass by outside, and I can’t help but recall my own little parade of a week ago to the Oregon spring football game.

What really draws a recruit to Oregon? There’s Something in the Water…
So just what is it that makes a highly-sought football recruit decide to come to sleepy Eugene over all of their other choices? Is it the facilities? Is it the coaches? Is it the flashy uniforms, or the flashier offense? Is it that success breeds success, the 34-6 record tallied by Chip Kelly since taking over more than enough to …
