Lil' Gorby visor FTW+Practice observations

by axemen23 on Apr 7, 2010 6:59 PM PDT

Well, Chip Kelly IS. THE. MAN. I showed up to practice around 10:30, in time to catch some of the 11v11 and some of the indy drills. Afterwards, He was very kind, and was more than happy to not only sign the visor, he offered a football up as well. He was very nice to talk too, and also looks to be in great shape!

Here is a picture of the signed visor.

tomorrow around noon time, I will go by the football offices and get the football. Afterwards, mattdaddy will help me put this stuff on Ebay, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the lil' Gorby foundation, aka Children's Brittle Bone Foundation "link":cbbf.org

Now onto the practice observations

--Nate Costa has much better control of the offense with the 1s at this point, and appears to be more mobile in the pocket than i've ever seen him. That being said, Darron Thomas has made strides with his throwing motion, and fit a couple nice mid-range balls inbetween defenders near the end of practice.

--Lamichael is noticably faster. I don't think I need to say any more than that.

--Eddie Pleasant at Rover is totally unfair. He blew up a lot of plays, and had a hand in most tackles.

--Brandon Bair didn't have one hands-to-the-face that I could see.

--Darron Thomas is the current PK holder, and he needs some work at it.

--TJ3 and Anthony Gildon have a good rapport together.

Any questions, comments, concerns about any of this, feel free to ask below :)

GO LIL' GORBY GO!

After the Arizona game last year I don’t think theres anyone I would rather have holding than Nate

Did somebody else sign it? What are the markings on the left?

Please god, axemen tell me you didn’t sign it too.

Most inexplicably NOT Clark Kellogg?

Chip wrote Go Ducks. The picture is mirrored. That got me too. Though axemen signing it would have been fucking hilarious.

Note to axemen: Don’t sign it. It won’t be funny now.

They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.

plan for tomorrow

I am going to go by the football offices and get the football tomorrow around 12 noon. Afterwards, I’ll do my best to post a picture of it and later dave and I will start the planned media blitz in the eugene portland area. The idea is to get this to as close to the level of ESPN’s annual Jimmy-D foundation auctions that we can. I’m going to talk to the eugene media, and dave’s going to handle the portland media. The ebay auctions should be up tomorrow night, so we’ll link them on here as well as to all the media outlets, and we’ll see who picks up on it.

By the way

I’ll put up a post on the blog about what’s going on and I’ll link to the Ebay auction whenever it goes up. Some of my family and friends who visit the blog might be interested in bidding. I’ll post a link here when I put it up.
