When Chip Kelly coached his first game at Oregon they went on the road to play a Boise State team that they clearly outmatched . Boise beat the crap out of them . If you guys remember this was the game Blount Knocked out the Boise bench warmer that was Taunting him after the game . Anyway, a long time Oregon fan who made the trip sent a personal letter to the new coach about how disappointing the team performed and how embarrassed he was by the players attitudes . Freakin Chip Kelly sent him a handwritten apology letter and a personal check ( from his own account) reimbursing him for his gas , hotel room , and food ..... and paid for his season home tickets . Say what you want about Chip in the NFL ..... that's big time . Two years later they were playing for national championships . Don't need a check but we all deserve an apology for that lack of effort and preparation.
