training facility

Submitted by jml969 on
A few days ago there was a thread about Oregon and I saw a video of their incredible facilities. I know UM is getting some new facilities. Are there any pics or schematics as to what it will look like? I was just curious as to what we have compared to the rest of the nation.

Oregon's facilities are other-worldly. I'd expect that at some world-class resort and spa in Tucson or something.

I saw something on tv a couple of years ago about ND's facilities. They're pretty nice as well. Charlie Weis was leading a sort of pretend tour for a recruit, and he kept showing what he called "more plasma screen tvs and video games." It was bizarre because clearly he didn't understand why either of these things would be attractive to recruits, but he knew they liked them. ND also has a special room where only players can go -- with plasma screen tvs and video games.

Yea I posted this question the other day, seems like Oregon is basically Nike's playground and they get all their money from them so it is hard for any school to compete with them, unless Warren Buffet decides to give us a 300 million dollar donation.

Still, it goes to show that there are limits to the benefits you can reap from these things. A team from the state of Oregon has beaten USC twice in the last three years, but it isn't UO.

ours will be sweet as well. check out mgoblue.com; anyway, our practice facilities will be real sweet and once the stadium is finished there is now way that any other stadium in the country comes close. i saw it the the other day in person for the first time in months and it is monstrous.

Oregon gets ridiculous amounts of donations from the founder of Nike who is an alum. Thats why their uniforms are trippy.

what are the white marks on the shoulders and knees of the home dark Unis? Looks like something on the steps at the Big House to keep people from slipping...
