Dunbar rumor

He cannot be the first to lean away from UP because of this deficiency, and certainly will not be the last...

A track is in the plans, at least the original plans the University put out when the property was bought.



All we need is a financial kick start. How about DTR field?

Well... remember, UP actually needs to purchase the McCormick and Baxter property first. Currently, UP only owns the Triangle Park property. This map shows the proposed plans for Triangle Park, with McCormick and Baxter (which UP doesn't own) vacant:



Putting a track down there is definitely a possibility, but it's a long way off... and the first step is UP acquiring the land.

Do you have a link to a bigger version? I dont believe I've seen this one before.

Well Geez, the statutory period for adverse possession in the state of Oregon is 10 years... So if you wanted to stake a claim and start building a track now and hope the current owners don't notice....

The best part about it, is that nobody knows who owns the property!

Here's the link from the website. Might be a bit larger of a version:

Also, lots of good info here about the River Campus:

One more reason to despise U of O. Geesh...Why didn't Dunbar think about this when he was deciding on a school? He must have been recruited by U of O as well.

UofO didn't offer him a scholarship. Up did.

That's true, but, he said that the scholarship wasn't an issue or a factor when he decided to transfer to the U of O. If that's the case, he should have just walked on with the Ducks in the first place.

I just get tired of people who say all of the right things in sports during an interview...like what Dunbar said to Portland magazine pretty recently...and then go off and show that those were just words. It's like the Dennis Erickson syndrome...a guy who said that he would like to coach in small towns like Corvallis or Pullman for the rest of his life. Yeah right!
