Sports columnist-Eugene (Ore.) Register-Guard

True. It would be nice if someone in Eugene could shed some light on this.

 

I would suggest looking at the RG's recent sports moves.

SE Ron Bellamy retires, and an in-house candidate is his successor.

Columnist (George Schroeder) and No. 2 Oregon fooball reporter (Adam Judd) leave. No. 2 UO football reporter "replaced" from in-house by a switch in a reporter's beats. Even if the No. 1 Oregon football reporter did NOT apply for columnist job -- and why wouldn't he? -- one could make a case that he would be drafted for the job (that is, another in-house shuffle to fill a vacancy).

Pure speculation. I'm acknowledging that.

 

R-G has been doing interesting things this fall. Almost no coverage of Oregon State, which until last weekend was No. 7 and off to its best start in decades. In the past they had a beat writer covering the Beavs. The paper has an opening for a graphic artist, which was just reopened for a second time. Then the lack of news about the sports columnist position, meaning the position has been vacant as the Ducks stay unbeaten and getting national attention.

 

yeah, i thought they'd have this one filled weeks ago. this is starting to get odd.

 

Patience is a virtue, I have been told.

 

Adam Jude could honestly run the entire sports department. Not to mention the Ducks coverage will always outweigh the Beavs in Eugene.

 

That would be a mean feat, since he moved to The Oregonian about four months ago.

But I will agree, he is a talented guy, and nice to boot.

 

As my aunt used to say:

Patience is a virtue
Possess it if you can
Seldom found in women
And never in a man

 

There is currenty a freeze on this position, literally and figuratively.

 

Literally? Did someone kidnap the editor and hold him hostage in a meat locker?

 

Yeah moot point now but still being in Eugene he could if he was there. Great guy as well

 

No, it's true. I heard this guy is the publisher.
