Win the Day



In this summer of great wildness I've constantly reminded myself to concentrate on what's in front of me, today. As a part of that I have embraced the Oregon Football adage "Win the Day" esposed by Coach Chip Kelly. Thought I'd drop him a line this week to let him know how much I appreciated that - outside of football. Class act Kelly hit me right back with the following message.

Scott,

Thank you for your email. I am sorry to hear of the chaos your family has had to go through. It is great to hear that the "Win the Day" mantra helped you and your family push through. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time and on September 9th. I look forward to your support in the future. Thank you again for your email.

Go Ducks!

Chip Kelly
Head Football Coach

Class act Coach - got a kick out of it. I take back the criticism for why you didn't go for it on 4th down in the Rose Bowl. Often small efforts make a world of difference. Pull for the Ducks that much more this year and Win The Day!
